THE QUALITY POULTRY SHOW
OF SCRANTON.


OF SCRANTON.
The fifth annual show of the
Scranton Poultry and Pet Stock as
sociation is now matter of history.
Much credit is due to President w.
H. Hagen, vice president, T. +. Nc
Graw, and o. w Payne, secretary.
Close and treasurer Toky, the Off
GERS of the association. These men
with the following constitute the
Board of directors: F. o. Megargee,
r. f. Weeks, II F. Atherton, Thos.
Brown, w. l.. Weddigen, and f. C.
Kicker w l.. Weddigen was sup
erintendent of the show. These men
are responsible for the poultry show
| Just closed, one of the best and most
successful ever held in Scranton
The show was held in the Lieder-
| kranz Hall on Lackawanna Avenue.
and it makes a very desirable place
to hold a poultry show. The man
| agement should be complimented on
the manner in which the cooping,
! feeding, ETC., was done.
The only complaint heard was
lack of room, as it was necessary to
| place most coops in two tiers to ac-
commodate the large entry The as
sociation held one of it's former
shows in the Armory, but the loca-
ton is such mat only the true fol-
/ lowers of the craft will take pains
to go there.
The following were named as
judges: w. j. Stanton, New York
w. Theo Whitman, Allentown; T.
F. McGrew, Scranton; j. d. Nevins,
Philadelphia; F. G. Bean, College
vile, Pa; James Glasgow, Ma
hwah. N. j., and w. A. Wolford,
Hawley, Pa.
Owing to the fact that Messrs
Whitman, Nevins and Glasgow were
unable to be there, Mr.. w F. Fot-
terall. of Oakford, Pa, was named
as judge. The judging was com
pleted Wednesday afternoon and the
ribbons all up, which was one of the
factors in the success of the show
The judging seemed to meet with
high approval, very little dissatis-
faction being heard.
A marked catalogue was issued
which always is a benefit to the ex-
hibitor and convenience to the
visitor
1t was estimated that the total
entry was about 1920, most of these
being single entries. The entries
in the twenty-three classes of ban.
tams numbered about 243, and they
made a grand display.
The Black Langshams made &
very strong display as there were &C
single entries and one pen. The
