MANY VISIT
THE HEN SHOW
Good Exhibition Proves an
AttraCti0n-The Prize
Winners.

The splendid exhibition of pure bred
poultry, made under the auspices of
the Hawaiian Poultry Association in
the drill shed on Hotel street, attract
Ell a large number of interested people
yesterday afternoon and evening, the
big building being well filed through
out the opening hours Of the show by
the proud exhibitors and other fan
eiers. The judging of the numerous
birds on exhibition proved to be a
longer Job than had been looked for
and the winning cards were not tack
ed on the lucky coops until evening by
Judge Andrews and his assistants. The
delay was somewhat of a disappOint-
ment to those who attended the show
early. but the fact that there was no
undue hurrying in this work, and q
consistent thoroughness in scrutinizing
each bird 10 be judged should be very
satisfactory to the contestants, assur-
ing them of carefully prepared cards
on their exhibits.
Among those who attended yesterday
was large proportion of women and
children, the former evincing a lively
interest in the fowls, while the latter
paid their greatest attention to the
pigeon and bantam end of the show.
The fresh fruits on display pleased all,
although the little ones who had to
be dragged past this section resented
not being allowed to help themselves.
Among the special exhibits not as
vet mentioned in connection with the
show is that of the Hawaiian Fertilizer
Company, samples of their product be-
ing neatly arranged and displayed by
Walter Doyle. who distributed sample
packages of fern and flower fertilizer
TO all corners.
