A Fine Lot Of Good Birds.
FIRST SHOW OF THE WESTERN MAINE
POULTRY ASSOCIATION.

FIRST SHOW OF THE WESTERN MANI
POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
For three days last week there was N
need of an alarm clock anywhere In tn
vicinity OF New Hall, for the first annua
show of the Western Maine Poultr.
Association was in progress there, ant
at almost any hour the crow OF the cool
and the talk of the contented hen nigh
be heard there.
From weather point of view thu
association struck 1t quite rich, TO-
Tuesday and Wednesday gave US cole
wave seldom equalled, while Thursday
the third day of the show, topped 1t GU
with q storm of snow and rain in mixed
lot. Doubtless this had an effect upoI
the attendance, which was not 80 larg'
as might have been with better con
ditions, though the fanciers OF the I'm
mediate vicinity were pretty constant
Financially the association will not come
out much ahead.
As an exhibition of fine poultry thu
show was most emphatically great sue
cess. The number of birds was not Sc
large as at some of the shows in tht
larger towns, being between two anC
three hundred, but they were certainly
handsome lot On the established stand
ard of 90 points for mixed colored birds
and OF for solid color, there were only
about dozen disqualified for prizes in
the whole show. The quality of the
exhibit was surprise even to some oil
the officers of the association.
Uniform coops were provided by the
association, and needless TO say this is q
great Improvement upon showing the
birds In coops of all kinds of sizes, colors
and previous conditions of service, as
we sometimes see them at the fairs.
The judging was by score card, the
judges being Silas Bartlett of Lewiston
and George P. Coffin of Freeport, and
their work was finished Wednesday
afternoon.
