hens attracted considerable attention.
On a placard above them it was stated
that $1,000 had been offered and re-
fused for this lot, and on the wall in
back are the prizes that this brood
and others had won for their owners.
The one day old chicks that were
shown by Horace Howe of Yantic were
also admired greatly, as well as the
wild ducks and geese belonging to
George Denison of Mystic. George
Chase had twelve pens of pigeons and
nine different varieties, and A. L. Jen-
sen of Bozrah had eighteen pens.
George Denison of Mystic offered for
exhibition three pens of handsome
pheasants, of as many varieties and
these birds came in for a good share
of attention.
Rabbits.
Eight pens of rabbits were on exhi-
bition by George Amburn of Norwich
and the different kinds showed the
English, Hyme, Angora, Maltese and
Dutch doe with young.
Dogs.
The exhibit of the dogs on Monday
was smaller than usual, but this was
due to the bad weather, which pre-
vented many from making the entries
they had planned. The entire lot
however, this year will far outnumber
that lin previous years if the weather
conditions are favorable and if the
promised entries are made. Those that
were on exhibition on Monday were
likely lot and came in for a generous
share of praise from passersby and
fanciers.
S. J. Murray, Norwich, had eight bull
terriers, including a bull bitch with
four small pups. Three fine bred fox
hounds were shown by Samuel Lester
of Ledyard. and J. Mcguire of Volun-
town exhibited a handsome Tennessee
foxhound that was generally admired.
Four English settlers were brought
from Mantle by B. NJ. Cobb, an English
bull terrier came from Roy Osborne's
kennels, and William Burdick of Nor
witch Town made a fine showing with
his English bull terrier and bitch
terrier with two cute puppies.
Sheep.
!
very well filed and the reason for this
might be found in the unfavorable
weather that prevented so many breed
ers from driving their focks to the
fair grounds. though they had planned
to do so. AS usual. J. B. Palmer made
large showing and for quality and
general fine appearance his several
iocks came in for considerable favor
able comm tent. The various kinds he
presented numbered the Shropshire,
Hampshire Dorset, Southdown, WEIGH
Mountain and Leicester
Charles Budiet of Lisbon had three
bucks and four ewes of the AngOra
variety and two ewes and a buck of
the Persian breed. G. H. Morgan of
Salem had two Shropshire ewes that
created favorable impression on all
who saw them and also had two equal
ly fine looking Southdown ewes. A
sleek looking buck of the Dorset fam
lily was exhibited by G.. A. Kahn of
Norwich.
Swine.
The pigs at the county fair did not
make the noise on Monday that they
usually do, and the circums stance is due
not to their lack in the squealng ac-
complishments, but to their lack in
numbers. What pigs were on the
grounds, however, were a likely lot,
and throughout the day they came in
for fair amount of inspection and
won much favorable comment.
J. B. Palmer of Lisbon had II en-
tries of Chester whites. o I C's and
Jersey Reds. P. II. Wilcox of Frank
lin made six entries. which included
the Berkshire and Chester white va
rieties. A handsome O ] G swine was
brought in by Ii. E. Howe of aYntic,
some o I C's and several Hampshires
came from G.. A Kahn's place, and
there were two entries of fine Chester
whites made by G. II. Morgan of Sa-
lem.
