uEROUS EXHIBIT OF
FINE BIRDS.

Kenpewick may justly be proud
n ihe showing made at the A.-Y.-
4, Poultry Show by local exhibitors.
vhsn it is realized that the show
M omen to the world-that exhib-
n vere sent from as far east as New
a1srey. from Canada and from Cali
iprnis-one car imagine the class of
birds in competition. In the win
ninQs Washington state has un-
doubtedly carried off the greater
number of valuable prizes. The
Washington stock was better ma
tured in general than that from the
East and, according to the judges,
Fho-are the best obtainable, the
color is equally good. 1t was asked
ofone Of the leading judges how the
birds shown Compared with Eastern
birds, and he answered most favor
ably. He stated that Eastern fam
eiers spent more time in condition
ing their birds, but otherwise had
no advantage whatever. Ware &
Linder and Mounsey Bros. were the
chief winners in S. G.. Rhode Island
Reds. Ware & Linder have the
same stock as Ware & DeSellem and
naturally local poultrymen note
their victories with satisfaction.
Mounsey Bros, in winning second
pen S. C. Rhode Island Reds, made
it tquite clear that they had the very
best of stuff and that they are to be
rckoned with in the future. Noun
sey Bros. also won third Cockerel in
very strong competition, third Pull
let and fourth Cockerel. On White
Leghorns they met birds that to a
novice seemed without flaw. The
most perfect pen of birds in the en-
tire show undoubtedly was the pen
Of White Leghorns owned by an
Olympia breeder.
In taking fourth pen in Leghorns
Mounsey Bros. won over several
very widely advertised and noted
breeders. They also won third pen.
In mottled Anconas, Mcunsey Bros.
won second pen, the highest prize
allowed on pens in that class.
D. G. Beinhart, as usual, held his
own in the Buff Rocks, winning Sec
ond pen, first, fourth and fifth per,
fourth Cockerel and third and fifth
cockbirds.
R. l.. Leitch won first and second
cockerel in Buff Rocks and fifth pen,
making together a very strong show
ing for kennewick in this field.
MIR. Leitch also won third pen and
fifth cockbird and fifth pullet in
White Rocks. His birds were not
80 fully matured or in as good
leather as his competitors or the re-
:, suits undoubtedly would have been
more in his favor.
The condition of many good birds
made it impossible to show them or
handicapped them badly. The
White Rock breed was very strongly
represented.
: Orin Beinhart, with his silver
Ransled Hamburgs, won second
pen, second pullet second and third
p0u ana fourth cOckerel.
7, Hoadley won first pullet, fifth
pullet and fourth cockerel in Buff
aeehorns and fourth pullet in White

N'7carried off third prize in pullet
and third on cockerel.
