The restricted train services, unfav ourablo weather, and a substantial reductio ill tho number of exhibits, as compared wit the records of late years, were a combinatioi of circumstances that interfered with th success of the show to an appreciable degree In spit-) of iJio adverse conditions that ob taincd, however, tho exhibition is worthy o high commendation, tho large majority « tho exhibits in the main sections being wel up to the high standard of merit attainei in tho past. Tho en tries totaled 569, a compared with 813 exhibits staged at th show h«ld last year. Tho falling off is at tnbutcd in a largo measure to tho absenc of championships, none having been allotto* to the club this year by tho association. In the poultry" section ther o were eighty eight fewer entres than la«t year, but in th principal classes there was strong competi tion, many of the exhibits being of a fin type. Brown Leghorns were oxceptionall; numerous, and there was a good show o Wyandottes and Orpingtons. The exhibit in Rhode Island Reds were few in number but of high merit, and thoro were somo goo< tvrds amongst a small exhibit of Anconas Bantams were well represented. As usua the principal display was in the utilil; classes, Leghorns being largely in the ma jorityj and Wyandottes a good second. Th exhibits in the pigeon section were littl more than half last year's number, but th quality was good. The challenge trophy fo the best bird in the show was won by th< Rhodo Island Red cockerel exhibited by M C. H. Bull.
