Game Cocks at Poultry Show
Exhibition and Pit Types

Public cooking mains are no longer
held in this country. and the sport OF
cock fighting has fallen into desuetude,
frowned upon alike by the law and So
ciety. Yet game birds are stiii bred in
great numbers. both che exhibition and
pit types. and they will have a large
representation at the Madison Square
Garden Poultry Show. which opens on
Wednesday morning. There are twenty
two classes FOR the large girds and four
teen for the coclsy little game bantams.
II was only a generation ago that
American country gentlemen bred and
fought their game birds. taking especial
pride in producing strains noted for their
gsmCncss, strength endurance and
beauty. The younger generation has not
lost its admiration for The type. and
tho continuity Of interest Is shown by
the numbers that arc placed on cxhibi-
tion every year.
The history of cock fighting. so il rs
said. goes back some 1000 years y. c..
and for centuries It was the national
sport Of the British peoples on land and
sea. Men o. war carried their pens OF
eaniecocks and cock flehting was the
