 The largest attendance ever record ed at poultry show in Bridgeport, marked the opening yesterday of the fuorth annual show of the Bridgeport Poultry association, Inc, in Lincoln nall in Cannon street. The show pre- sents the largest exhibits of poultry and pet stock ever seen here. Over 1,200 birds are shown One of the fea- lures of the show is the s250O Buff Orpington rooster exhibited by Joe Pyes of South Norwalk, which is in the show for exhibition purposes only and is not contesting
 The other is Sir Woodwork, a cock which the owners claim they have re- fused $2,50O for and it heads $3,000 pen of the royal Columbian Plymouth Rocks, which are exhibited by the Woodworth Farm, of Wilton.
 The rivalry between the birds has excited interest, for each different in class are considered the be the best of their kind G. D. Til1ey, the nat uralfst, of Darien, has on exhibition ants, and J. Percy Bartram, of this city, has pheasants on exhibition. B. T. Bedford, of Greens Farms, the we'll known millionaire of Standard Oil fame, has several entries with tur- keys. One is a handsome specimen, for which he paid $150 at Madison Square garden but short time ago. E. J. O'NeiPs exhibition of Sicilian buttercups is also very pleasing, the birds being exhibited for the first time here.
 In fact there are so many excellent breeds exhibited, from pigeons and guinea fowl to the highest priced stock, that description would hardly give a comprehensive idea of the ex- hibition. Only by attending can the truth worth and the splendid specl, mems of the poultry be appreciated. Pigeons and Cats.
 The pigeon exhibit is large, and they have attracted considerable at- tention, as have the bantam hens. There is also small exhibit of cats. The show will continue until Thurs day evening, and if yesterday can be taken as criterion 1t will be suc- cess .E
