Miller Pervis. a poultry judge of
national reputation. was secured to
judge the exhibits. which service he
performed with great care and with
that judgement only acquired after
years Of experience. Mr.. Purvis was
surprised to find such an array of
good fowls. In an interview he said:
What Mr.. Purvis Said
81 was very much surprised and
greatly pleased to find such a long
line OF birds in the poultry end Of the
farm festival. II required but 4 glance
to convince me that the quality was
much above the average OF the usual
fall fair poultry show. II is perfectly
safe to say that three fourths of the
fowls on exhibition will be in fit on
dition a little later to be entered in al
most any winter show.
The exhibit Of Rhode Island Reds
in both rose and single comb was re-
markedly fine. Not a bird in this
class that any breeder would need to
be ashamed. 1t has moi been a long
time since | have spent as much time
in placing the awards on a class as \
did on this one. The awards might
have been changed in several cases
without having done injustice to any
one.

splendid line Of display, and did not
hesitate to put the sweepstakes for the
best bird in the show in this class.
THE first prize barred rock cock.
while in poor show condition because
of being in mott, showed outstanding
quality.
Space is lacking to give due praise
to all deserving classes. and individu-
al birds, as great merit is so much the
rule. that one feels like giving all a
place in a review of this kind.
II cannot close without mention
ing the high quality of the breeding.
from which were Won the sweepstakes
offered for the best pen in the show,
all varieties competing. This lot of
birds is one to be proud of and one
that will certainly mark the forward
course Of Reds in this vicinity. OF

wants to hold a first class poultry
show all the material to make one is
here"
