THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 327 er Record Entry List at Annual Exhibition Oshawa Poultry. Assn. at Armouries to Public at Noon Today -- Officials Are Elated With Calibre of Ehibits--Judg- in Progress -- Attendance is Also Expect- ed to Shatter. Previous Records ---- Show to 'Continue Until Thursday Night With a list of entries far exceed- ing that of any previous exhibition in number and quality, the Sixth Annual Show of the Oshawa Poul- try, and Pet Stock Associa- tion opened its doors to the public at noon today in the Armouries. Judging wilt take place during the afternoon and evening, and as there are some 800 entries in all, this will keep the three judges busy for some time. Mr, J. W, Clarke, who is judging the poultry, informed a rep- resentative of The Oshawa Daily Times that the birds this year show- ed a decided improvement over those of other years, both in appearance and numbers, Varied Exhibits The exhibits are of a varied nature, including about twenty different breeds of poultry, and waterfowl, and a fine variety of jigeonms, rabbits and cavies. There are also some most in- teresting - specimens of silver fox, which will undoubtedly fascinate the fair sex, whose prerdgative it is to adorn themselves with the pelts of these lovely little animals, In the Poultry Section, the most noticeable exhibits are the 'Plymouth Rocks, Barred and White; Orping- tons, Buff ffand Black, great strap- ping birds that will tip the scales up to 14 to 16 pounds. Then there are the Leghorns, both White and Buff, not so large in body perhaps, but great egg-layers; Brahmas, with their feather-covered legs, great dig- 'nified_ looking ' birds, seemingly quite conscious of their ancient and hon- ourable ancestry. Rhode Island Reds are present in considerable force, as are the Black Caps and Light Sus- sex. There is a sprinkling of An- conas, Andalusians, Dorkings and THURSDAY FRIDAY SAT/IRDAY Ae LIFESRILEY Added Charlie Chase COMEDY "Sting of Stings"' ® Ler tainment Paramount News Orchestra Regular Prices WGEMENTY BERGER a + « resents JDNIE GAC WAN DA RICHARD HOLT THURSDAY FRIDAY. SATURDAY 8 IT I Gl ACE Vis RC 5 HAW fi LEY COMEDY "She's A Boy" {eaturing Big Boy Hamburgs, this last built somewhat along the lines of a game bird, one pair in particular looking for all the world like well-marked pheasants. 1 Bantams, of which uite a representative dis- play, are the Charlie Chaplins of the poultey world, with their long leg cathers sticking out at righ angles like the famous feet of the great comedian! They have also the same unsmiling dignity that is ome of Charlie's most outstanding charac- teristics, and are altogether worth watching. There are also a couple of freakish looking individuals covered with what appears to be wool in stead of feathers. These are "Silkies" and belong to the ornamental class rather than to the utilitarian, The Game Bantams are well repre- sented by a large number of these diminutive but high spirited little birds, The Black Red Game Ban- tams are really beautiful specimens, adorned with all the colours of the rainbow. Water Fowl Section The Water Fowl Section is not very complete owing to the fact that some of the large exhibitors were deterred by the bad weather of yesterday from bringing their birds to Oshawa. There are, however, some very fine Embden geese, shown by R. McLaughlin, which look just there is ' Pigeon Flying become 116 Episode of "Blake of Scotland Yard" | about ready to take a prominent place in the coming Christmas fes- tivities, There is quite a large show- ing of Chinese geese, interesting looking bords, and very noisy, com- panioned by a few Toulouse repre- sentatives, The Pigeon Section is exceptional- ly well to the fair, there being over 180 entires in the Homer Class alone, It will perhaps come as a distinct surprise to many to know that Osh- awa has a very thriving Flying Club. Under the efficient direction of Mr. E. Bramley, President, and Mr. V, Whitely, Secretary, the Club has been making splendid headway, and we would not be surprised to see one of our opular sports, such as it has been or many years in England, Mr, G. imowden, who has undertaken to wet as Judge of this section, has al- eady commenced his duties, which vill occupy his time for the rest of the day, There are some 14 classes 'n the Homer section alone, includ- ing birds which have flown any dis- tance from 50 miles down to 100, In the Fancy Pigeon exhibit, the most interesting, perhaps, are the Fantails, which have the peculiarity Jf sometimes hiding their heads, be- lind hteir chests, making them look as if they had been decapitated. Very proud they are, but perhaps not so high and mighty as the Jacobins who seem to have solved the eternal feminine problem of...,what to wear. ,,.at least, round the nck, for these queer birds have developed a | feathery ruff which almost conceals hteir heads from .the public gaze, If you look interesting enough, they will stretch their necks and peer over the top, hut otherwise they will retire within their protective barrier, and calmly ignore you, Rabbit Classes In the Rabbit Section, which will certainly interest the children, who always love the bunnies, there is a nice display of chinchillas and whites with one of a peculiar chocolate and an colour, that is quite unusual. No yubt some of these will before long 1d their way into the stores as udson Seal or Dyed Coney or some qcy name of that kind, Next to the bunnies you will find ;overal cages full of what are offi- cially know as cavies--we used to call them guinea pigs in our young days! Nice little fellows that make great little playmates, The children will just love to see the baby gin- eas, for there are two or three fam- ilies of them with four or five piglets 'lin each. Mr, T. Wragg has charge of the judging of this class, Silver foxes--does there exist a feminine heart which can resist their lure? You have seen them in the stores, perhaps, in the form of furs, but have you ever seen the little PLEASING PROGRAN WUSIC STUDY CLUB EE Along the hills of Galilee, white flocks sleeping lay, When Christ, the Child of Nazer- eth, was born on Christmas day." In keeping with the season, the program rendered at the Musie Study Club last evening consisted throughout of Christmas selections and opened with the singing of Carols by the Club with Miss Galt at the plano. Miss Gordon gave a paper on the origin of Christmas Carols which contained much in- formation. The Carols have ne common form or characteristics but originated from the Yuletide car- ousals of Merry England, These ancient carols were pagan in char- acter until the era of St. Augustine introduced the Christian celebrar tion and carol both sacred and secular, Miss Casselman with Miss Matthie at the piano was heard in two well rendered violin mumbers, "Angel's Serenade, Braga, and the "Chanson Triste" by Tschal- kowsky. Mrs. Rapson, who made her in- itial appearance before the Club contributed the ever appreciated song "Nazereth" by Gounod, Miss Ellis very concisely gave a few facts of Gounod's life, The composer of "Faust" was born in Paris in 1818, He came of influ- ential parentage, his father being a painter and his mother a planist and woman of culture. In 1859 he composed 'Faust' the greatest opera of all time, Other operas followed but Faust overshadowed them all, He was also a great writer of church music, some of his best known songs being tho "Ave Maria" and 'There is a Green Hill Far Away." Mrs, Mundy in her usual pleas- ing manner read the first "Cana- dian Christmas Carol" by Father Braboeuf followed by the humor- ous description of olden time Christmas serenading by Hardy In "Under the Greenwood Tree", Miss M. Ross was heard to good ad- vantage in a selection from the "Messiah", ""O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings', Handel. Mrs, Andison followed this solo with a talk on the life of Handel which was exceedingly well done. Handel who was horn in. Halle, Germany, came from a family of locksmiths, His father discouraged his early musical talent wishing him to hecome a lawyer, His mother more in sympathy with his taste allowed him to take a spinet to the garret where at the early age of six he learned to play upon it. His musical genius could not be suppressed and he was allowed to study and travel thus visiting many Europe-n cities where he met with enthusiastic receptions. He finally settled in London be- coming the leader of a newly form- ed Italian Opera Co, He later turn- ed his attention to oratorio and in 1741 produced his greatest work the 'Messiah' Mrs. Andison gave an added touch of interest to this produc- the chaps alive? There are four of them on view at the Armouries today and tomorrow, two being the property of Mr. Von Gunten of Oshawa, When you see these graceful little fellows curled up in a furry ball, with their white-tipped tail covering half their face, and solemnly staring at you with unblinking eyes, you will surely think it a pity that such beautiful little creatures would have to be sac- rificed to make a coat-collar, or some other adornment, There is quite an extensive list of focal 'exhibitors, whose names will appear tomorrow, doubtless with a large number of prizes attached to them, The Poultry Show will be open until late this evening, and will open again Thursday morning at ten o'clock. $375.00 Ford Sedan, 1924 model, looks and runs like mew ow pris +++ $275,00 Oakland Coach, 1925 model, disc wheels, balloon tires -------- Lock's Store Store at 38 Simcoe Street North Entered By Front Door, . Thief Having Se- cured Key Which Fitted Lock -- Dashed in and Grabbede Goods on Dis- play in Front Part of the Store Ladies' wear valued at about $180 was taken during last might from the store of Mrs. R. Lock, 38 Simcoe street North, Entry was gained by means of a key. The police are of the opinion that the burglary was the work ot a lone thief who had got posses- sion of a key which fits the lock on the front door, He apparently rushed in, snatching some goods on display in the front pari of the shop, and made a quick and clean getaway. While a complete list of goods missing has not been obtain- ed, it is thought that the loot con- sisted for the most part of exterior wearing apparel, including dresses, These were displayed at the front of the store, and were naturally the best quality goods in the store, Police are investigating the occur- rence, and the local chief is fairly confident of ultimate results in this case. It was not reported to the department until a rather late hour this morning, however, and at one o'clock this afternoon it had not yet been entered on the po- lice blotter and constables on duty knew nothing about it. The store which was entered Meals exclusively in ladies' wear, and to a great extent in ready-to- wear articles. agents for the Lock taxi, and it is been left there by a taxi patron had been broken into previous to this, during the week, although nothing was taken. These and other facts are in possession of the loeal police department, who are quietly work- ing with the hope of a speedy clear- ing up of the thefts.
