MANY WATERFOWL FANC|ERS WIN CUP AND RIBBON PRIZES
The Official List of Prizes and Prize Winners
Readers of The Leader-Orchestra Music a Feature
of the Sunday Afternoon and Evening Shows
The Cups Were Beautiful Works of Art

What will go down in history as the
most successful poultry exhibit in Wa
tertown was closed Sunday evening
when the annual exhibit given by the
Watertown Poultry and Pet Stock as
sociation brought to close the con-
test for prizes in Turner opera house.
So great had been the demand for
coops to properly show the feathered
visitors that the secretary was com
PEELED to telegraph to Fond du Lac
for supply to add to what the asso-
citation already owned, which included
the recent purchase of new cooping
enough to display 500 birds.
There we're so many contestants
that the judge did not complete his
work until Saturday evening, although
he was supposed to make his final an
nouncements Thursday evening.
A pleasant feature of the Sunday
show was the presence of orchestra
music.
And nj little pride is felt by the
Leader in the part that this news
paper has played in helping as best we
could to make the event a success. 1t
was the Leader that printed the prize
list, a book of sixty-two pages, and
prize tickets, admission tickets and
not few business cards for exhibit
Ors, and no issue of the Leader since
the inception of the 1915 exhibit has
been deemed complete unless it in
formed it's readers of what to expect
should they attend the show, and our
predictions have not even come up to
what was actually displayed in the
| hall, SO well did the officers of the as
sociation conduct their work
