A N0T6 OF WeL(OA€ 
 
 The Society hereby extends to exliihitors, patrons 
 and friends «^enerally a very cordial weh-ome to this 
 Second Annual Show. Its success, of which there is 
 now such excellent promise, is due in the Ihst place to 
 the practical, energeiicand liberal support of the public 
 spirited citi>'iens of Nanaiiiio. Many of these have not 
 had the poultry fancier's keen interest to stimulate them 
 in their efforts to proniote the Society's objects, bntbave 
 been actuated by the broader motives tbat induce certain 
 men of all classes always to do all they.gan to further 
 the best interests of the community, no matter in what 
 direction they iind those mterests can be served. The 
 Society was or<j;anised at a sujall nieetinf^ hekl on Satur- 
 day evening, November 11th, 181)8, and was incoiporated 
 in the following spring with a capital ot 5?'25,U(X). 
 
 «^ ''^' 
 Next to public spirited interest, manifested at exei-y 
 turn, the field for poultry breeding tliat exists in Jkitisli 
 Columbia, and especially in Nanaimo Hisirict and neigh- 
 borhood has been, and always will he, the basis foi' 
 successful poultry shows at such a central and convenient 
 point. 
 
 The Third AnnualShow of the^ocie-tv, ali-eadv in 
 prospect, will be held in a larger ;ind better building, 
 which the Committee are assin'eu will, l)y that time, be 
 available for the purpose. Accommodation will be pro- 
 vided for a thousand entries of poultry, pigeons and sucli 
 pet stock as may in the meantime be approved of. 
 
 Now, lest there should be any misap})i"ehension as to 
 the attitnde of the Nanaimo Poultry Society toward any 
 sister society, it might be well to say that this Society is 
 henceforth prepjired to co-operate at all times with such 
 other societies, and if expedieiit, to b'.''.;o!n(^ alliliated to

 Society begs to extend to the sight-loving Kanaimo 
 public and to all visitors to the City during show week, a, 
 cordial invitation to attend the exhibition and inspect its 
 many attractions. ^J'he Committee are satislied that 
 they have not deceived themselves, in believing that the 
 public will prove their appreciation, both of the moderate 
 jidmission fees, and of the public spirit of the nuiin pro- 
 moters by attending again and again. .

 concerned and made a host of fiiends among the local 
 fanciers. The entries numbered 4'5(), which is the largest

 During the three days that the exhibition was held 
 more than twelve hundred persons visited the feathered 
 flock, and the oflioials were honored by a visit from the 
 Lieutenant Governor of the Province and Mrs. Dewdney; 
 the Hon. Theo. Davie, Premier; and the Hon. J. H. 
 Turner, Minister of Finance and Agriculture; all of whom 
 expressed their delight and astonishment at the remark- 
 able merit of the collection, and the completeness of the 
 general arrangements. The sum of $250 was disbursed 
 in prize money, a figure largely in excess of the premiun)8 
 hitherto awarded at any show upon this coast outside of 
 the State of California.
