Presidents Novice Cup for Black
Cochin Bantam PuIIet Won by
Miss Meserve-Eseaped Bird
Causes Excitement

Cacklings, crowings, squawzings and
quackings all at the same time and in a
high pitched key was an indication that
something unusual had occurred at the
Poultry Breeders association now hold
ing it's annual exhibition at Chutes park.
Upon investigation the officers of the
organization found that one of the pleas
ants, which are on exhibition there, mad
escaped from it's coop and was flying
about the building. This bird, Chinese
ring neck, closely resembles a chicken
hawk, and it was their fear of this bird
that caused the commotion.
After numerous efforts the pheasant
was captured and returned to its coop.
The chickens, however, kept up the awful
racket until some time afterward.
Large numbers of visitors thronged the
exhibition hall yesterday and the Off
GERS are well pleased at the success that
has attended the show.
Miss Dorothy Meserve was successful
in capturing the Presidents Novice cup
for the highest scoring black Cochin
bantam pullet, and the Vice Presidents
cup for the highest scoring pair of black
Cochin bantams. Miss Dorothy is the
daughter of Secretary Meserye of the
Poultry Breeders association.
