 fanciers. The premium birds seemed to realize their superiority over their unfor- tunate fellow-fowls who failed to come ur to the standard. and strutted proudly in their coops. while the hauty cocks filled the air with victorious clarions. The exhibi- tion, which was opened on Monday morn- ing. has proven a great success, and will be brought to close tonight at 10 o'clock In order that the school children of Bir- mingham may be given an opportunity to visit the show, the officers have reduced the price of admission for school children under 15 years of age to cents and children over 15 years of age to 15 cents for today. The anual meeting of the Alabama Poul- try and Pet stock association, under whose auspices the show is held, will be held this morning and officers for the ensuing year elected. The success attained by the asso- citation during it's four years existence makes the poultry show permanent in- stitution, which means that a larger and better show will be held next year.
 Everybody Satisfied The work of awarding prizes was com pieted yesterday, and while the competi- tion in many classes was vigorous, the
  fancier who did not get as much as he ex- pected finds consolation in the fact that he made the fanciers who beat him hustle. The largest award in any single class was given to George M. Clark & Co.,, of Kensington, Ga., breeders of white Brah- mas, and those who have visited the show and have seen their display are not sur- prised. MT. Clark is in personal charge of the exhibit, and has twenty as pretty birds as were ever exhibited in Alabama. MT. Clark is fanicer from the top of his head to the sole of his feet, and what he does not know about chickens and white Brah- mas is scarcely worth knowing. T. c. Dolan of this city also has fine exhibit of white Brahmas, and got some of the prizes.
 Among the other local fanciers who have made excellent shows can be mentioned Mrs. H. J. McCafferty, Mrs. 8. M Hanby, Mrs. c. H. Cole, Mrs. A. B. 1all s. P. Myers, H. W. Lockwood, Mrs. N. W. Trim ble, and others.
