The Studio was the scene of an
other of the A B. C's enjoyable and
beautiful evening parties On Friday,
Nov 2S. The spacious rooms were
decorated in unique fashion, variety
being the keynote in color. AS the
guests arrived they found their
places by matching their tally cards
with the tables which were each
covered with different bright color
making a very effective back ground
for the phOtoed Thanksgiving tur-
keys Five hundred being the pop
ular mans game the twelve tables
were hard at it for couple of hours
when the delicious refreshments, for
which the Club is noted, were serv-
ed. Those who were fortunate
enough to be guests of the A. B. C's
on this delightful occasion fingered
long to show their appreciation and
enjoyment and hope the Club will
do it again and soon. The out of

Some Poultry

Quincy Poultry Show had 211O
Birds in hot competition. This does
not include the Pigeons and Pleas
ants. The Quincy show was larger
than Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus
Indianapolis. Milwaukee shows last
year, said Judge Keeler, who was
one of the judges in the above
places. He also said there was no
show in the country where better
Quality was shown and that the
big majority were far below.
Quincy was larger than both the
St. Louis shows combined and 900
birds to spare. Competition was
strong in all classes, one man who
had won all the first prizes in pull
let class at the Missouri State Show
last year, did not even get in the
ribbons at Quincy, another breeder
of no small reputation from Indiana
won one fourth prize and said he
was proud of it.
Emmett Yowell had some of his
fine White Orpingtons in the Quin-
cy Show and won second pen. sec
ond pullet, third and fourth cockerel
and fourth hen. This speaks well for
him especially when the White.0r,
pineton pen which won first over
him was the winner of the grand
prize IN all varieties.

BIG DELEGATION
FOR COLOREDP PARK
Representative Negroes Petition
Mayor in Favor of It's
ESta bliShnent.

Headed by John Mitchell Jr.. pres!-
dent of the Mechanics Saving Bank.
ana Giles 3. Jackson. a well-known
colored lawyer OF this city. a COM
mittee of nineteen. representing the
most progressive element OF the negro
race in Richmond, called upon Mayor
AinsIie yesterday with petition fav-
oring the plan of establishing one or
more public parks for the exclusive
use of colored people.
Several members of the delegation
made short speeches. dwelling upon
the benefits OF an exclusive coiored
park. They minimized the danger OF
monopoly by the rougher elements Of
the race, holding the opinion rather
that the dedication Of a public park
for the use Of colored people alone
would have the effect OF awakening a
spirit OF pride in keeping it UP 10 the
highest standard.
The views expressed were notably
at variance with those presented to
the Mayor by another colored delega-
ton about a week ago These pro-
tested against the establishment of a
co!ored park on the ground that it
would become meeting place for the
coarser and more boisterous members
of the race. and would be Stunned by
the better element Of negroes.
Would Guarantee Order
The question of disorder should not
enter into the discussion OF the mat
ter reads paragraph Of lengthy
petition presented to the Mayor From
the time when the first slave was
landed in this country and the null
tiplication OF the colored race began,
our race has been noted for order and
not disorder The establishment of
a city park for the public adjacent to
the residential section of the colored
people carries with it a guarantee of
order.
