THE POULTRY SHOW,
THE AWARDS 0F PRIZES TO BE
 MADE TONIGHT.
The Exhibit. Largely Attended in
 Spite of the Bad Weather.
Notwithstanding the bad and dis

Notwithstanding the bad and dis agreeable weather, good, sized crowds have focked to see the poui- try show on West Second avenue throughout the day, and those who attend are loud in their expressions of surprise and qualification at the splendid exhibits made. But for the damp and sloppy weather, no doubt the store room in which the show is being held would be crowded to it's fullest capacity.
 The show will be continued throughout tomorrow {Friday) and will be open tonight and tomorrow night until 10 o'clock.
 Tonight the awards of prizes will be made and much interest is being manifested in the result.
 Since our list yesterday the following additional entries have been made:
 By MT. Frank Meeks, of Barring Cross, Ark two trios of light Brahmas.
 By Mr. T. S. James, of this city, one coop of Silver Spangled Ham burgs and one coop of Barred Plym- outh Rocks.
 Mr. Frank P. Ellis, several very handsome Black Langshans, which will undoubtedly be rated very high, as they are beautiful fowls, and in excellent condition and form.
 Wiley Jones, Toulouse geese.
 Several handsome dogs and other pet animals have also been entered
 Those who have not seen the show should certainly avail themselves of the opportunity to do so. It is a most pleasing and novel exhibit.

Pine Bluff has a few business men within her In HIS who say and boast that there Is nothing in newspaper advertising; put let one of the news papers publishi an article which the aforesaid men consider as being an tagonistic to their interests. and the celeIity with which they rush to the newspaper man for an explana- uon, correction or an apology, is simply remarkt tble. Many of these
 warts on our prosperous communi-

A GOOD SHOW.
Was the hTelodrama of Lincoln J. Carter's
 .'wast Mail" But the Audience Was
Small.

Lincoln J. Carter's melodrama "Fhe Fast Mail, /" was presented at the Opera House Wednesday night by most excellent Company, but the audience was one of the small est ever played to by any company. The inclement weather was, per haps, the cause Of this, but those who braved the wind and rain were amply repaid by witnessing one of the most superb scenic productions now on the road. As it's name in dicates, 'sThe Fast Mail deals largely with the railroad in it's in cidents, but an abundance of effects that are daring in their execution are presented in a manner that IS simply superb.
 The steamboat is a most clever conception and masterly mechanical work, and the railroad scenes with trains going at terrific rate of speed presents most startling and natural appearance. The most beautiful scene is that of Niagara Falls, and the scene in itself was worth the price of admission to witness. It was indeed revelation in mechanical genius and realism. The comany was good, and deserved large house.

Miss Catharine Bartho, the famous Russian premiere dansuese from the Imperial Theatre, Moscow, will be seen with the "The Merry World" which comes to the opera house on the Sth inst.
 Miss Bartho is undoubtedly the greatest dancer of the age and In "The Merry World" introduces four entirely new pallets, the costumes of

which are said to be the consumma- ton of everything that beauty, splendor and'exquisite taste implies. The forty members of Miss Bartho's ballet are all dancers of ability and the movements executed in the grand ballet ensemble are probably the most difficult and at the same time, the most picturesque ever seen in this country.
