,conrlnued Grom nrsL passl

procured his present naked neck
birds.
Another freakish pair of birds
were the frizzled cock and hen bred
and exhibited by UOrris G. Temple
OF POcOpson, Pa, who has also nu-
merous BIRDS in the show. These
frizzIed birds would ordinarily be
classihed among the partridge CO.
chins but their feathers are turned
backwards giving them a queer ap-
pearance.
Mr.. Temple is also exhibiting a
Polish hen which is distinguished by
its black and white feathers and its
feathery crown, which covers its
eyes. Almost identical with this hen,
differing only in the darker shade of
its feathers, are the mOttled HOudain
hen and rooster.
Of all the "a hens exhibited by
Mr.. Heald the most freakish is the
pair of silver Dorkings, which have
five toes. The rooster is very color
full and has bright FURNISHED down
and a stately comb. Mr.. Heald also
shows several white face black
Spanish hens and cocks.
SEhroughout the exhibit there is a
generous supply of Plymouths, Wy
andottes that are continually adding
to the chatter of the spectators with
their lusty Growing and cackling.
Samuel Little, OF Newark, has
large number of white Wyandottes,
well groomed and in good condition.
DR.. E. Roberts, of Milford, has a
magnifcent specimen of a single
comb Rhode Island Red rooster.
Rivaling this bird in color and form
are the Rhode Islands of G. Byrd
Waller, of Seaford,
In the class of single comb white
leghorns, it is expected that CIyde
Robinson, of Newark, Del, will re-
ceive the highest honors. He has a
large string of white leghOrns that
have won much admiration.
