DOG SHOW A GREAT ATTRACTION

mississippi Poultry show saw the judges
deep In their work OF scoring the birds
and the public giving the box office a gen.
erous patronage.
Show birds arc now all in place and the
opportunity TO see them is better than at
previous shows The arrangement this year
confines tile concessions to narrow bit
OF floor space and all the 10000 square feet
in the Auditorium and stage is given over
to the show.
One new feature makes It possible to
see many of the birds as they would look
in yard. Wire fencing has been pressed
into service, and in neat pens along one
side OF the big show house the big geese
and little ducks may be seen at such close
range that It would be no difficult matter
to pick a fight" with a gander.
The ducks and geese, like the show
dogs. are becoming so accustomed to the
public that they make friends easily, and
two OF the geese started over the fence
after a woman who had been particularly
friendly with them. while one Of the show
dogs made a jump for q woman whose
diamond spangled fingers had been run
through his hair once or twice, with the
result that there was a small white bunch
of angora hair hanging by the neck with
chain and yelling for help.
From all indications the show will at
tract big crowd this week. The dog show
feature is much talked about, and it is
probably the finest show ever given by a
kennel club in Omaha. the dogs ranging
from the canary bird size to the big st.
Bernards.
Water Fowls Prominent.
The water fowl exhibit at the poultry
show is attracting it's share Of attention. The
classes are numerous and we'll filled and
some OF the specimens are wonders in their
line. The Toulouse white and brown China
geese. the Pekin Rouen. Muscovy and In
dian Runner ducks. the African geese and
numerous others make the exhibit of high
class. II is said that the exhibit Of water
fowl now on display at the Auditorium. is
one OF the largest ever made in the coun-
try, both in the number of birds and also
( in the number OF classes shown.
Chickens viii not be given away this
year at the show as they were last year.
the change being made from a humanitar-
ian point of View.
~ will not give away chicks as I did
last year. because l do not believe II hu-
name to do So" said George II. Lee, maker
Of incubators. Tho children who secure
them do not properly care for them and
most OF them die. These chicks are from
my best prize-winning stock and / don't
want to have them improperly treated
The chicks will be sold this year at Is
cents each ana the proceeds donated to the
association. At the next show i will give
prize OF S25 in gold for the best bird
raised from those Matched in the show
room this season. A homemade brooder.
costiFy only few cents and capable of
successfully raising half-dozen chicks is

tracted most attention was the $1,000
brindie English bull which Is shown by

half as fierce as he looks 1t would be
well for visitors to keep their distance

Tuesday morning but they are now lined
up In their wire cages on the benches

do the birds below. The dogs are on the
stage The st. Bernards and toy dogs
