The word Chesterfield is famous
word.
Lord Chesterfield perfected eti-
quette and general politeness and be-
came famous. The Chesterfield Gig
arctic is blazoned on bill boards and
brick walls from California to Maine,
and now new fame is added to this
famous name of Chesterfield at the
great meeting of South Carolina red
breeders and fanciers at Chesterfield,
S. c., and the "Chesterfield Reds" are
on the way to become equally famous
with the noted cigarette and the Lord
of ancient song and story.
"Chesterfield Reds, in numbers,
quality and performance are equal
the best Reds from any part of the
world.
Chesterfield Reds that have made
S. c., Of double meaning and worth.
In verify South Carolina R. !. Reds
of the Single Comb variety are on a
par with any exhibit ever staged in
an Eastern show, including the big
gest city and the Club" of the uni
verse
This may be strong breeze of Red
Atmosphere but it is not "Hot Air..
Yours Truly" is sometimes given to
"Henthusiasm," yet never to High
falutin, and l am arrived in the full
tide of R. l. Red glory.
AS a Northern or Eastern Judge
who has handled the worlds best
am stating without equivocation or
mental reservation that this grand
class of Reds at Chesterfield was far
superior to any Eastern or Northern
exhibit ! have judged this season, and
would compare favorably with the
best winter exhibits North, East or
West. Describing the Reds at this
show: Leading the classes were the
first, second and third cockerels
which were dazzlers of the highest
order in color brilliancy and the true
Red we all desire. In fact not a
dark purple or chocolate bird was
evidence in any class, male or female.
There were Sd cockerels in compe-
tition. First cockerel was a splendid
combination of the true oblong type
and even dark red shade in every
section with but slight defect of black
at base of hackle nice eyes and medi-
um well-shaped comb and head. Sec
ond cockerel was of near the same
type failing in fluff color and carried
tail BIT too high.
Third cockerel was remarkably stri-
king individual of vivid red brilliancy
throughout, losing in type and was a
shade off in hackle color.
Eight places were given and every
one of the winners consistently fol-
lowed the first three in brilliancy
and evenness of color placed in line
by minor defects of finish and condi-
ton. Of the Sd cockerels not a real
Gull except brilliant colored cocker
ell with enormous side sprigs like ant
| lers.
Forty-nine pullets faced the judge
| and when the eight prizes were
awarded many fine specimens were
left out of the winnings to give way
to the eight beauties that carried the
| ribbons.
First pullet carries the richest,
livest under color that l have seen
in years and almost matches in shade
\ the deep rich red surface color.
She also had deep red eyes and a
greenish black tail and we'll marked
flights and was easily the leader of
her class. She also won the silver
! cup for the best female of any breed
in the show. Second and Third were
close up in surface coloring and Of
splendid type but failed in equalling
the under color of the first pulet.
Fourth pullet was also a dandy but
ebS o"iSi ~ HptiSS oIlS ledlHtI
| of solid black fluff which helped to
deny her chances over or equal to
the second and third pullets.
The hen class was the poorest class
of all. ct should always be the
best class.) First hen was O. X. in
pullet color and was easily the win
ner. Second hen won shape special.
In many ways the cock class was
the most outstanding class of the Red
exhibit. Every specimen was as
rich colored and was as brilliant as
the great class of cockerels and close
decisions were the rule.
First cock was in fine condition and
won shape special. Second cock lost
on condition only owing to bad moult
but held an even shade of red in and
