Poultry IShow Closed.
The poultry show held in this
city last week closed Saturday
evening. It is said by those
qualified to judge to have been
the most successful exhibition of
this kind ever held in Benton
county. The annual poultry
shows, of Portland, Seattle, Ta
comaand Corvallis, are consid
ered the big events of the season,
j ii i j? i
or uie aoove iour snows are in
a class by themselves, as all
other shows on the coast Dlace
their entree fee at 25 cents, in
stead of 50 cents. The latter
fee brings out only the best birds
in each class.
In point of numbers the Bar
red Plymouth Rocks headed the
list with 52 entries. These were
entered by seven different ex
hibitors. This" show being the
first of the regular exhibition
season, some of the birds were
not fully matured and another
month will bring out many good
birds in this class.
The Buff Leghorns were up to
the standard of last season when
this class was the largest of the
show. Prof. S. I. Pratt is said
to have entered the finest Buff
Wyandottes ever seen on the
coast.
According to the opinion of
the judge the best buff chicken in
the show was a Buff Plymouth
Rock exhibited by James Wood,
of Victoria, B. C. .
Altogether there was more
than 400 entries of fine chickens
and in addition to this there were
turkeys, geese, fancy pigeons,
six varieties of pheasants.
Twenty-five varieties of chickens
were exhibited. In the way of nov
elties there were ferrets, guinea
pigs, dogs, and a cross-pheasant
China pheasant I and grouse.
There were also two varieties of
of quails. A big white swan
created much interest,
There were 31 Buff Orpingtons
entered a number from abroad,
but the foreigners did not turn a
trick which speaks well for the
birds of F. L. Miller. It may
also be mentioned that some fine
Buff Leghorns were sent here
from Tacoma and did not secure
places, which proves we are
pretty well fixed in this way at
home. '
The joke of the show was on
w. J Kent, who had some pla
cards printed for placing on his
ferret cages, the cards reading
as follows: -
Please Don't Feed
W. j. Kent
Some wag added below the
words, "or his ferrets." He took
the joke like a man. We hope
in our next issue to give a com
plete list of all prize and place
winners at the show.
