A GREAT SHOW.

The Poultry Exhibition a Grand Success. TURKEY EXHIBIT EXTRA ROOD. First Attempt at a Poultry Show In Rensselaer Surpasses All Ex* '' pectations. The first annual exhibit of the Iroquois Poultry and Pet Stock Association in the K. of P. building here this week in many respects is superior to the big shows heretofore held at Chicago and Indianapolis. Mr. Rapp, of LaMoille, 111., the expert judge, who has attended most of the big shows in the country, says that in turkeys this exhibition surpasses any thing he has ever seen. Last year the Chicago show had 27 turkeys on exhibition, while here we have an even 30, and every one a show bird. Two birds weigh 48 and 49 pounds, respectively, one owned by O. K. Kitchey south of town, and the other by J. L. Babcock of Parr. There were 30 turkeys entered in the show; 114 chickens; 12 dnoks;4B pigeons. W. H. Eger had a half dozen golden pheasants on display, while J. 1.
