RIBBONS ARE TIlO
TO PRIZE BIRDS AT
Big POULTRY SHOW
Judge Of the Mason County Poultry
Show Displays Rare Judgment In
Awarding Prizes This After
nOOn-Maysyllle Fanclers
Win Many Ribbons.

Despite the bad weather the Thomas
building was well filled during all Of
today. There were quite a few
more fowls entered late Monday and
the display Of chickens, ducks and
pigeons is said to be about as good as
could be found in any section Of the
state. In fact, some say that we have
Just as good a display OF fowls In the
Mason County Poultry Show as some
state fairs offer.
Several more expert poultry men
arrived in the city today to be present
during the show. Mr.. Halter, Of Lou
isville, the official Judge for the show,
arrived and began the work Of judg-
ing the various chickens on display.
Mr. Halter Is engaged in the poultry
business in Louisville being the lar
gest dealer In pure bred stock In the
state of Kentucky. He is superinten-
dent of the poultry display at the
Kentucky State Fair each year and
took much interest In his work at the
local show. His decisions were fair
and every one seems well pleased.
Mr.. Len Lanius, poultry expert Of
Cincinnati, is also on the job in the
interest of one of the large poultry
food manufacturing concerns, and Is
distributing to the poultry fanciers
books on poultry which will prove Of
great value to them. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Lanius was in
Maysville at the last Corn and Tobac-
co Fair and delivered several ad-
dresses at the fair during the poultry
display.
Youngs' Orchestra, in charge of
Prof. j. H. Young, of the Maysville
Boys Band furnished music at the
show this afternoon from 2 to 4 and
will furnish music again this evening
from Z to 8. Again ON Saturday be-
tween these hours the orchestra will
furnish music.
The show is absolutely free and ev-
cry one who can possibly attend
should do so and learn something
about the fine lot of poultry we have
in Mason county.
The big feature of today's program
at the County Poultry Show being
held in the Thomas building in lower
Market street was the awarding of
prizes and the pinning of ribbons on
the coops of the prize winners.

ems in the various classes the Judge
