MANY AWARDS MADE
AT POULTRY SHOW
Mrs. Florence Forbes Arrived Yester-
day Morning and Immediately
Began Judging the Birds.


considerable number Of people visited
the poultry show that is this morning
entering upon its third day at the
Pastime theatre The poultry Judge
Mrs. Florence Forbes Of Alabany. Ala.
arrived yesterday morning and she
was busy throughout the day judging
several Of the larger breeds Of birds
and placing the awards.
However. greater portion of the
exhibits remain yet to be judged. Mrs
Forbes will resume her duties this
morning and win PROBABLY pass judg-
ment on all exhibits and make the
awards late this afternoon. It seems
that the most competition resulting
yesterday came from the three types
Of Plymouth Rocks and the Rhode
Island Reds. A large number of birds
We're entered in each OF these classes.
A lot OF interest was conferred around
the Barred Plymouth Rock entries and
that particular breed was well repre-
scented, there being in all something
like Is coops. The honors In this
breed were about evenly divided be-
tween Douglas & Austin OF route A.
r. w. Richardson and the Magnolia
farms
The running in the White Plymouth
Rocks was closely contested between
$. y. Wright Of Columbus, Ga, and
the Cedar Point Poultry yards OF Mo-
bile. but Wrights entries seemed TO
have the best Of the argument as the
awards viii indicate. He sent down
two coops from the Georgia city and
they showed up well and occasioned
no little comment from the fastidious
fanciers OF that breed.
The Rhode Island Red entries went
good also but r. o. Gilmores entries
seemed to be more consistent with
the requisites than the others The
color seemed to be the greatest fault
with the entries of this breed.
According to the tickets receipts,
the people have not been patronizing
the show as they should, or at least
as much as the efforts put into the
event would warrant or course it
rained yesterday and that had an ef-
feet on the attendance, but there is
no reason why the loyal citizens of
Pensacola should not turn out in full
today and tomorrow and help to boost
the association along. They hope to
stage even a greater show next year.
