ANNUAL  EXHIBITION  OF  POULTRY. 
The  annual  exhibition  of  the  Hawaiian  Poultry  Association 
took  place  in  the  National  Guard  Rifle  Gallery,  Honolulu,  on 
Thursday,  January  14,  and  two  succeeding-  days.  The  collection 
of  birds  was  a very  satisfactory  one  and  maintained  the  high 
standard  of  quality  of  former  exhibitions.  In  addition  to  the 
poultry  display,  agricultural  exhibitions  were  made  by  the  Ha- 
waii Experiment  station  and  by  the  Board  of  Agriculture  and 
Forestry,  although  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  it  was  found  im- 
practicable to  include  the  general  agricultural  competitive  dis- 
play which  has  formed  a part  of  some  former  exhibitions. 
POULTRY  EXHIBIT. 
As  heretofore  the  Plymouth  Rocks  were  very  conspicuous, 
not  only  in  numbers  but  in  quality.  Dr.  C.  M.  Cooke’s  display 
in  this  class  was  particularly  effective.  White  Plymouth  Rocks 
and  Orpingtons  showed  an  increase  of  popularity,  while  an 
entirely  new  bird  was  seen  in  the  Rhode  Island  Whites  exhi- 
bited by  Messrs.  J.  Johnson  and  J.  Andrade.  The  pens  of  Leg- 
horns, Wyandottes  and  Rhode  Island  Reds  also  contained  many 
handsome  birds.  Among  the  prize  winners  in  the  Domestic 
class,  the  following  names  were  of  frequent  occurrence:  Mrs. 
S.  I.  Shaw,  Messrs.  J.  J.  Greene,  C.  M.  Cooke,  Jr.;  J.  F.  G. 
Stokes,  L,  C.  Abies,  R.  C.  Brown,  J.  Cullen,  F.  Santos  and 
Dr.  C.  B.  High. 
More  specimens  of  the  ornamental  breeds  were  in  evidence 
than  in  former  years:  Frizzles,  Silkeys  and  Black  Polish,  be- 
ing represented  with  creditable  birds. 
Among  the  pigeons  the  most  handsome  birds  were  probably 
the  Jacobins  and  Pouters,  and  although  the  display  was  not 
large,  the  general  quality  of  the  birds  in  this  section  of  the 
exhibit  was  distinctly  good. 
The  awards  were  made  by  Mr.  G.R.  Andrews  of  Fresno,  who 
visited  the  islands  for  this  purpose. 
HAWAII  EXPERIMENT  STATION  EXHIBIT. 
The  Hawaii  Federal  Experiment  station  displayed  a very 
effective  exhibit.  Prominence  was  given  to  Cotton,  which  is 
at  present  causing  so  much  attention  locally  as  a prospective 
Hawaiian  crop.  Tobacco  and  rubber  were  also  given  due  recog- 
nition, which  crops  together  with  cotton  well  represent  the 
potential  agricultural  energy  of  the  Territory  which  the  Station 
is  doing  so  much  to  develop. 
One  feature  of  the  display  was  particularlv  satisfactorv  to 
the  Forester,  for  it  represents  in  concrete  form  the  efforts  which 
are  being  made  to  develop  our  own  resources  and  to  make  our
