POULTRY FANC|ERS
TO HOLD BIG SHOW
IN ORANGE CASINO
High Class Entries Promised for
Exhibit During Week of
December Z.

Plans are under way for the second
try, Pigeon and Pet Stock Club. It will
be held during the week of December z
in the Orange Casino, In Halstead
street. East Orange. and the officers
and members assert that it will be the
biggest show of its kind ever given in
this section of the country.
Last year, practically within a few
days of its organization, in November,
the club gave a show in the same build
Ing, and provided a surprise by bench-
ing a few more than fifteen hundred
entries. many of which were from the
establishments of the largest and best
known poultry, pigeon n pet stock
breeders in the country and included
some of the finest stock in every class
that has even been shown at a similar
exhibition.
Two new features will be added to
the show. One will be an effort to have
a large and representative exhibition
of canary birds, and the other will be
to have a big line of exhibition classes
for the raisers of utility or "com-
merciap' poultry and pigeons. The lat
ter will include classes for dresses
poultry n pigeons and classes for
eggs, regular and special prizes to be
given In each class in order to stimu-
late the utility chicken and pigeon
raising in New Jersey.
Within the next three or four weeks
the entry blanks and premium lists will
be published and sent around New Jer-
sey and other parts of the country, es-
pecially in the raising districts of
Pennsylvania, New York Massa-
chusetts.
Following the show the club will not
be allowed to cease its active existence,
but plans will be devised for keeping
up interest in it and it's affairs through
out the year. possibly through a series
OF entertainments and meetings at
which papers will be read n there
will be general discussions of matters
in which all the members are concerned
and which will have to do with their
improvement in the stock.
One of the greatest features of the
proposed future activity of the club,
however, will be the meetings for edu-
cational purposes. Men who have long
been identified with poultry raising and
with pigeon raising and who are rated
as experts in their respective lines will
be invited to make addresses to the
club members, and each address will
be followed by the asking and answer
ing of questions. There will also be
meetings a Which certain questions,
propounded previously by the officers
through the mails, will be taken up
for discussion.
For the December show the club will
have as judges in the various classes
the best men to be obtained. The off,
GERS are o In communication with
experts in every part of the United
States for the purpose of having them
serve. as judges.
