The Forthcoming Poultry Show.

The American Punltrj Yard of the current week has the following editorial reference to the graud P<ultry"exhil.iti.in which opens in Indianapolis on the Bth of January: "Some months since, upon the announcement that the poultry exhibition of the West at Indianapolis, Indiana, was projected, and that the next annual meeting of the A. r. A. ;w«uld be held in that city the same week,- we predicted for the former a most successful exhibition, as wc had no doubt would be the case. While we anticipated a grand display on the above occasion, we did not at the outset foresee how extensive were the preparations being undertaken, nor did we imagine that so widespread an interest had boon evenced in the forthcoming event among our leading fanciers, as we have at this comparatively early stage now been apprised of. Success is assured. The character of the officers and working members who have taken bold of the enterprise, the liberal premiums offered end the support promised by fanciers from all parts of the country, leave nothing to be desired. This show will take its place at the head. It will be the largest, grandest and best manageed of all so for held in the United States."
