Cold Cuts Down Attendance at Poultry Show.

The Rensselaer Poultry Show being held in the I. O. O. F. building Lhis week is having fierce weather to contend with, and as a consequence the attendance has not been what it should be. There is a fine lot of birds on exhibition, numbering, in air the different varieties about 375. .. There are a few freak bird3‘on exhibition, and a b*g \wl that acts like he would enjoy nipping off a finger or two when they are pointed at him, shares honors with a pair of “Japanese Sikies,” a peculiar breed of chickens’ that Artnur Mayhew of Newton tp. has on exhibition. , Tbe show ends today with the baby show held at the Princess Theater this afternoon. Come out to both today , and help to swell the receipts and enjoy a good show in addition.
