LARGE CROWD OUT SATURDAY

The Closing Day of Rensselaer Poultry Show BABY SHOW ALSO DREW WELL And the Association Will About Break Even Despite the Cold Weather and Poor Attendance On Other Days.—List of the PrizeWinners.

Saturday was a pleasant day and everybody and their neighbors come to town. As a result the poultry and corn show was well-attended on that day at least, and the association will about break even on receipts and expenditures. The cold and disagreeable weather all week up to Saturday not only kept people away from the country, but many in town did not care to venture out, and consequently the attendance was very slim up to Saturday. The association encountered very bad weather last year also, and scarcely broke even then. The attendance this year averaged up about the same as last year, and if it comes out even it will be doing well tinder the circumstances.

The baby’ show Saturday afternoon at the Princess theater drew a good crowd, as usual, and the judges. Dr. Hansson, V. J. Crisler, and Charles Baldwin of Logansport, escaped with whole skins. Their awards was as follows: Class A, one year old and under —lst, Mr. and Mrs. George Zea’s babe; 2d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Horsewood; 3d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hoshaw. f Class B, one year and under two —lst, babe of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Thompson; 2d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Chupp; 3d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Herath. The next show is to be held the first week in January, 1912. The association has a membership of 25. New members solicited. The association would like to increase its membership to 100 or over. The membership fee is $1 a year, and if we had 100 membrs we could offer enough prizes to have one of the best poultry and corn shoves in the state. Membership fee can be sent to the secretary, H. B.
