|A-CACKLlNG AND A-CROW-
ING IN ALL THEIR GLORY
The Fowl Tribe Crowned Supreme at
the Third Annual Exhibit Of the
Vermont Poultry Association
on Pearl Street.

The hustle and hurry of preparation
which has been going on for the past
three days at Hale's pavilion has brought
into shape what promises TO be the most
successful exhibition ever held by the
Vermont Poultry association in its three
years Of existence. Experience and the
success Of the two former shows, given
by the association, have placed its mem
bcrs in a position to give the best ever
seen in Barre and probably the best
mid winter exhibition ever seen in the
state, II not in New England.
The present Indications are that there
will be far more birds ON exhibition
than there were last year, and there
were over 800 entries in 1908. Poultry
| of all kinds is on exhibition, from the
tiny bantams and games to the largest
ROCKS and Wyandottes, and the exhibit
is much stronger in turkeys and geese
tnan ever before.
The Rhode Islhnf Red class Il stronger
than ever, there being over 200 entries
| from fanciers OF several of the New Eng
land states Among the exhibitors of
this class OF birds are f. w. Sault of
Swanton, G, B. Foss Of Hyde Park, G, j,
Hatch OF Waterbury; r. Il. Lockwood
Of TIolyoke, Mass, Thomas S. Shaw OF
Tqnpleton, Mass, and several Of the
local fanciers and those in nearby towns,
The other principal classes, all OF
which are well represented, are the
White, Buff and Barred Rocks; White
Wyandottes; Buff and Brown Leghorns,
bantams and game birds, turkeys and
geese. A coop which attracts consider
able attention is one in which are exhib-
tied pair of pheasants from the farm
of DR.. w. Seward Webb in Shelburne.
| The association is in better shape
! financially for holding successful show
than it ever has been before, and COM
plete complement of modern coops and
equipment makes the exhibit more
interesting one than It would otherwise
be- This will be a four days show,
opened tonight for the public, and the
attendance Is expected to exceed that
of previous shows.
The judges selected by the association
are probably as we'll qualified to act in
their respective capacities as any three
that could be secured anywhere. They
are A. G. Smith Of WalthaIn, Mass,
Judge Of Rocks and Leghorns; George p
Coffin, Freeport, Maine, Rhode Island
Red specialist; and w. G.. Graves Of
Springfield, Mass, Wyandottes.

A number OF stories are circulating
concerning the Incidents surrounding
