word for word to this day. This was
all of the most intense interest to me
and went a long way toward Clinchng
the matter of life work for me.
Much Of the phernalia of those
shows was crude and commonplace
compared with the equipment of our
present day city exhibitions. with their
uniform cooping and manner Of ar
rangement.
Each exhibitor was required, or re-
quested, rather to provide himself with
show coops. Sometimes they failed and
their stock was set up in improvised
coOps made out OF their shipping GOODS
Such coops, of course, did not add very
materially to the general appearance of
the show. Show room regulations gem
orally specified that exhibitors should
furnish their own COops, to be of the
following dimensions: Two and one
half feet square by two feet high: pen
coops two and one-h half by four. This
rule tended to uniformity in a great
measure, although many breeders man
ufactured their coops OF size to suit
the lumber they happened to have on
hand at the time At the fairs most of
the prizes were given on pairs and
sometimes trios, but rarely on pens.

yards are not located In populous
communities. with their ability to
voice loud protests. not less than be-
cause they are clearly superfuous to
our present naval needs. It Is more
than likely that Congress will give Its
o. X. TO the proposal that promises to
save Uncle Sam a tidy bit OF money
every year.
In the old days when our war
craft were dependent upon sails for
motive power. the stretches OF our
far flung coast lines were not so easily
nor 20 rapidly traversed as at present
and II was almost imperative that re-
pair stations be located at frequent
intervals along the seaboard so that
a damaged craft would not have to
limp any great distance 10 have her
hurts healed. Tho extent OF this old
time dependence upon the ship hos
pitals Is attested by the fact that We
have along the Atlantic coast some ten
naval stations, whereas on the Pacific
coast, which was not taken into ac-
count to any great extent until the
days OF steam and the modern steel
navy, We have but two such institu-
uons. Now, OF course. in these days

Even more serious IN incapacita-
ting a number of the older navy
yards for present-day tasks. Is the
circumstance that some OF them ac'
tually have not sufficient depth o.
water leading to them to allow mod

docks. The explanation Of this quee

early history OF tho nation. Our
coast defenses at that period were OF
minor character.-lacking both in
quantity and quality.-and 40 the
prudent officiais at Washington
thought Il best to place as many OF
our navy yards as possible somo dis
tance back from the coast.
Speaking of depth OF water as an
important asset OF the modern navy
yard, it may be noted that trouble on
this SCORE is responsible for an inn

Wr would be difficult to conceive Of
greater surprise and CONSERVATION
than prevailed in the three cities

retary Of the Navy Meyer recently
made public a proposed plan for con-
Eolidating the United States Navy
Yards at New York. Boston and

~ speaking. It wasn't the Secretary's
plan at all. but was put up to him by
the General Board of the Navy. backed
up by the joint Army and Navy
Board. The board which made this
radical recommendation Is headed by
Admiral Dewey and might be desig-
mated a sort Of board OF directors for
the Navy Department so that It's sug-
gestions are entitled to more consider
