Preston and Griswold Raisers Had the Big Birds—C. F. Meyers Wins for | First Time—K, Hoppman Had Clese to 30 Pounds. { i Turkey raisers have acknowledged | unfavorable season for rearing these prize constituents of | the Thanksgiving dinner, so that it was | hardly surprising %®hat the entries| weighed in Tuesday at Somers Bros. were not as many as in some former; years, but they were top-liners in| quality; plump and fat from the feed- | ing that the expert raisers of New Londer and Windham countfes had given them. When hung up outside the market, with their blue ribbons attached, the three that took the prizes offered by The Bulletin were as lusclous looking a lot of turkeys as need be seen, prom ising that they will hold a wo place on the bills of fare at the local | institutions to which The Bulletin an- ’ nually donates these champions of xhe‘ flocks. | The first prize of $10 for the largest| and fattest young turkey went to C. F.+ Meyers of Preston Plains, for a sleek looking bird that weighed 171-2 pounds. This turkey will grace the board at the Rock Nook HNome. i turkey, taking second prize of $5 for young turkeys with one that scaled 16 3-8 pounds. This one will furnish the Thanksgiving dinner for the fam- ily at the Sheltering Arms. Mr. Meyers has contested for several vears for The Bulletin’s prizes, but this is theé first time he has won. He gave | special attention to his flock and feels well repaid for doing it. { For the prize of $5 for the largest| and fattest turkey over a year old, ¥ Hoppman had one that weighed 29 | pounds, and as a reward for such an| achievement the prize Tom will have | the privilege of providing the juic | morsels upon which the children at| the New London County home wil} feast at their Thanksgiving dinner. | The Bulletin paid the winners are | retail market price of 40 cents a pound for the prize birds in addition to the cash prizes. Somers Bros. bought the other- birds entered and pald 35 cents a pound for them, the market pr!f'e.; In this way the winner of first prize received $6.85 for his turkey, the win- ner of second prize $6.55, and the win- | ner of the third prize $11.85, each with | prize momey in addition. AT THE DAVIS, Madame X. ¢ Before a house that was of =~""~‘y- ing proportions and that sat in rapt attention, sometimes in tears, or oc- casionally burst into well deserved ap- plause, Adelaide French and her strong supporting company presentéd the intensely dramatic play Madame X Tuesday evening at the Davis thea- ter. From many acquainted with the- atrical productions here was heard the comment that no stranger drama with an entirely capablé company has ever been given from this stage. For ‘the star ihere could be omly words of praise for the completeness with which her art subjugated her to the part which she was to play, hideous in its reality at times of the portrayal of what it means to drink the dregs of feminine degradation, but grasping with equal facility the display of the nobler emotions of mother-love. For the two eclimaxes, the court scene in which Malecom Owen makes his plea, for the life of, the woman who is in reality his mother, and the final revelation, Mr. Owen showed him- self possessed of rare temperament and dramatic power, while in the pretty garden scene, which pleasantly light- enéd the sombre impression of the play, thére was the instant recognitien the love-making of Jane Quinn and Owen. Frederick Smith and Henry Sharpe satisfactorily discharged their roles and Frederick Baldwin was the typical light-hearted yet cunning and plotting adventurer. Thomas Blendin and Wil- liam Harris were Hkewise excellently cast, and Dane Hamlin made a pro- nounced success of the role of the stow-witted porter. For all the other roles the selections of the cast were equally admirable. Screen-Wagon Service for Mails.
