Main interest centered on poultry exhibits as thousands visited by nightfall. Judge Miss Ethel Champion of New York completed much of the cat judging yesterday afternoon. Winners included Mrs. Olive Mathis of Greenwich Conn with an imported Chinchilla first, Mrs Hilda M Keiley of East Weymouth with London Smoke Javelin Jr first in a 18-entry class, and R Kelf of Grimes Hill Staten Island with Blue Sapphire, a strong contender for best in show.
