Weather Against Crowds and Receipts Poor—Baby Show Also Failed to Draw Large Crowd. The Rensselaer poultry show closed Saturday night after one of tu® best shows in its history, but the attendance was a big disappointment, owing to the unfavorable weather conditions. This year the show was held tn the Odd Fellows building, an idea’, location, and the attendance should ’ fiv© been the greatest in the history the association. There was a fine exhibit, a splendid variety of poultry and the effect that the previous shows, have had in promoting better chickens and turkeys was noticeable. Some of the former active breeders were not represented, however, which detracted somewhat from the show.'

From out of town the patronage was pleasing. Lowell sent 49 birds, Remington, Brook and Fair Oaks 15 each and Monticello 6^7““
