THE POULTRY.
There is no doubt that the display of
poultry was the largest that there has
been in recent years. In the space de-
voted to it, under the grand stand, there
were over hundred coops, belonging to
thirty or more exhibitors.
While it would make no difference in
the actual quality of the exhibit, the
general effect of it would be much bet
ter If it we're possible to have the coops
of uniform size and style. 1t would be
a further advantage il either each ex-
hibitor's birds could be shown together,
or II the birds of each strain could be
shown together. As 1t is, a largenum-
Der of fine birds are shown in sort OF
hodge-pod of coOps of all sizes and
styles, arranged in a somewhat hap
hazard fashion.
Besides the birds shown in compe-
tition, through misunderstanding OF
the conditions a load of about forty
coops of poultry belonging to DR.. White
of Bolster's Mills arrived on the grounds
Wednesday. 1t was the day after the
entries, so the poultry could notgo into
the competition, but it remained on
exhibition until Thursday afternoon.
Exhibitors who had from one to a
dozen coops of poultry on exhibition
were Russell B. Swift, West Paris, Jesse
Smith, West Paris, D. II. Bean, South
Paris, Harold II. Drake, Norway, Aaron
Yeaton, Norway, Harry Lovejoy, Nor
