 No sooner had the gallant Westport bird invaded the apartments of the supposed hen than there was an up roar. What that strange bird did to Rings prize bird would make Young NIcAuliRe's treatment of Tommy Houck look like a pink tea There was a great uproor- until Ring rushed in, saw what had Happened, and took his recreant roostersNback to the pen whence it had stolen Then he had Q. good laugh.

 Members of the Consolidated Poultry Association declared today that the show was the most successful exhibit they ever held It is to continue today and tomorrow. The judges completed Is classes last night and were busy throughout the day. There are 122 classes in all It is said to be the Iarg- est display of game birds ever held in the history of the country. There are more than 300 shown, and the largest single exhibitor of this kind of poultry is George Ring, Of Westport. There are many entries from distant states all the New England states being wide 1y represented. ''Dad'' GIeezon of Georgetown, Mass, a veteran game bird fancier of national reputation, is to judge in this class. A prize of $50 is the first for the best game cock.
