First prize pen of Silver Penciled Wyandottes, St. Louis World's Fair, 1904, bred 

 by E. G. Wyckoff of New York state, who succeeded Ezra Cornell. In all the varieties 

 of Wyandottes at this, the greatest Wyandotte show in the world — over 2,000 Wyan- 

 dottes in the show — it is doubtful if five inidividuall specimens of any variety of the breed 

 could have been selected that would have shown more real merit than the cock and 

 four hons represented above. They were grand in shape, comb, color, markings and size.
