The state branch members of the
Buff Wyandotte club was to have held
a meeting at the city hall sometime
during the exhibition, but owing to the
fact that good number Of the mem
bers we're unable to be present, no
meeting was held. The members how
ever, sent their birds which combined
to make one Of the largest classes in
the show. Two of the blue ribbon en-
tries at the national club meet at
Springfield were the best Bluffs in the
United States, and were exhibited and
bred by Vermont Buff Wyandotte
breeders. These were pen of old
owned by Bottom & Hawkins. of
South SALISBURY, and a pullet owned
by DR.. o. N Eastman of Burlington.
These birds were in the st. Adams
show Vermont state has the largest
in the Buff Wyandotte
society of any state in the Union ac-
cording to population.
