Orpingtons. but he also won the cup
for the best pen OF Orpingtons other

tional bank cup for Black Minorcas
last year and came back this year and
duplicated the performance, defeat
ing his competitor. Lester Boyd, also
of this city, by a narrow margin.
Boyd took both second and third pens

about the keenest of any in the show.

chickens in the Asiatic class, having
had clear sailing with a magnificent
entry OF Black Langshans.
