 Ribbons
ATTENDANCE INCREASES

yesterday was a day of surprises peasant and otherwise. of safisfac- tion and disappointment. of varied Ieeiihgs among the exhibitors at the pouitry show, for it was judging day. anu lhe ribbons, blue, red and yellow. were attached to the pens containing .ne prizewinning birds. The work of Jueslhg took longer than had been anticipated, so that the proposed af. tefnoon meeting for the purpose of organizing a poultry association was not held as expected.
 The attendance in the Y. M c A gymnasium, where the show is be Ing held, was larger yesterday than on the first day, and the visitors were more interested, for since the ribbons were on the cages sightseers had something besides their own iudg- ment to go upon. and tbe way that they gathered about .ne successful birds showed that they took more enjoyment in consequence of the awards having been made. and were ready to rest their appreciation up. on the judgment of an expert.
 Yes, there were disappointments N-OAb NAI NAuADlltIh. blfuk TnAf they had thought were good were oft. times passed over, but the judge was kindly disposed, and willingly told the disappointed ones wherein their birds had failed. While disappointed, they could not but be satisfied when those explanations were made, and deter mine that next year it would be diff ferent The best way to learn is from experience, and that was the way they were learning. Points that winning ones for their birds, in scme instances turned out to be ser ious faults. It was experience that the owners needed as exhibitors. and from that they were learning more than they would have in months had it not been for the first annual poul- try show.
 Keen interest was displayed by many of the visitors yesterday after. noon and last evening, and the list ener frequently heard passers up and down the aisles expressing an inten- ton of having birds of their own an- other year that would take down the blue ribbons. The first two days of the show have achieved the desired results to a satisfactory degree.
 An addition to the show arrived yesterday morning that attracted much attention after they were in- stalled. These were soft and fluffy. but were not wearing feathers. They were4 four-legged, too, and cannot be ciassed as poultry nor are they gen erally considered edible. These were two handsome Angora cats, the exhib- it of Lon C. Woolery. One of these pets is black and the other white and they answer to the names of Bob White and Tom Black.
 Two breeds that are never largely displayed even in the larger shows attracted much attention, the Corn ish Indian game and the white crested Polish. The former are especially esteemed as q table fowl by epicures. Some Seabright bzntams also attract ed attention as did some fuzzy chicks and each visitor was able to ind something to interest him or her dur ing the entire time spent in the room
