MORE STORIES OF SUCCESS 



FIRST PRIZE ON ONE PAIR. FIRST PRIZE ON COOP OF FOUR PAIRS, COMPETITION 

 LIVELY AMONG SEVERAL HUNDRED BIRDS. I promised to write you about the birds 

 wiien tne Fair was over. I will do so now. (September, 1907.) I took fifst money on one 



fair, the speckled wing birds, and first prize ribbon on coop of four pairs. Three of the pairs 

 secured from you and one pair from my pen. The judge said that the hen bird was fine, but 

 cock not so good. Of course I did not have time to trim them or iix them up for the occasion. 

 I had to go up against several pigeon fanciers but came out with flying colors all the same. We 

 had several hundred birds of different kinds at the Fair. I informed several where those birds 

 came from and how long I had them. Hoping this will be as satisfactory to you as it is to me.^
