Instructive Talk on Poultry
Was Given by George P.
Coffin Last Night

Attendance at the 10th annual show
lof the Vermont Poultry association,
which opened in the Church street gym
nasium yesterday, reached it's full tide
to-day, many visitors coming in from
outlying towns, while in number OF
4 instances exhibitors who were unable to
be present when their birds arrived were
on the floor this forenoon for the first
time. People who never manifested even
a mild interest in the breeding of poul-
try, having visited the splendid exhibit
i of fowls of all classes, are enthusiastic
over the show. Attaches representing
the association are on hand to escort
visitors about the gym. and every effort
lis made to explain clearly the various
exhibits.
The court room at city hall was crowd
ed last evening for the poultry lecture
lgiven by Judge George p. Coffin of Free
port, Me. To-day the judges completed
the work OF making awards, the task
having been finished in a manner most
satisfactory to the officers of the asso-
citation, who co-operated as far as pos
sible in expediting the examination OF
the birds. If there is any one verdict
that seems to be unanimous among the
people who have inspected the showing
this year it is that the association has
outdone itself in procuring birds of quail
fity. There have been years when the
total registration has gone beyond the
enrolment at this time, but never in
the 10 years Of the associations exist
ence has quality been so much the ear
mark on practically every bird shown.
Breeders are quite pleased with the
interest manifested by people outside
the association and it is hoped that
many more win avail themselves Of the
opportunity for inspecting the fowls be-
fore the doors close tomorrow after
noon. Judgment has been passed on
every bird entered by adult breeders
and subsequent announcement 10 be
made by the executive committee is to
contain list of the awards made to
younger exhibitors.
