many shows where [ have judged this
year, while the Buff and White Rocks
were very good.

ahead of many that | have judged this
season. Buff Wyandottes were very
fair lot Of birds.
"Orpingtons were very good in Blacks,
fair in Whites and Bluffs.
Rhode Island Reds, very good in both
single and rose comb. The winning pull
let's in Reds were the same birds that had
won at Spokane and they were we'll
worthy OF their wins. Rose combs sui
fered from lack Of weight in males, but
the females were very good.
"The Leghorn class as a whole was
very good in White. Buff and Brown.
The winning Buff males were fine, Whites
good, and the Browns would give an &C
count of themselves in the best of shows
The winning Brown LeghOrn cock is as
good bird as have scored this season.
I "Siver Spangled Hamburgs, very good
in females and fair in males.
Games a very good class OF birds in
Pitts and fair in Cornish Indians.
Light Brahma and Black Langshans,
very nice lots Of birds. The Brahmas,
up to weight, would have been the high
scoring birds of the show.
THE cooping arrangements of the
show are good. Secretary Rosenkranz
kept we'll up with his work, while the
judges clerk, James Cairns, was about
as good as one finds in the best OF shows.
