tractive Features.

and they are said to possess fine points
The number of entries is not as large as
it would have been had it not rained last
| week preventing the chicken breeders
from bringing in their stock.
Mr.. Harry B. Savage of Welton, Texas
is here and has acted as judge of the
poultry contest. He has had much ex-
perience in poultry raising and he says
the exhibit is unusually good. This
from him means something because he
is editor of 1.-The National Fancier," the
oldest poultry paper in Texas.
There are in the Arkansas valley more
fanciers than any other part of this
country. Chicken raising for both mar
ket and show is becoming more extensive
every year. While the exhibit in the
fair takes up all the space allotted it.
Nevertheless it does not represent the
magnitude of the industry in this part of
the state.
The prizes were awarded on Tuesday
and every one who had an entry was well
pleased with Mr.. Savage's decisions. The
prizes were awarded as follows:

In the fanciers' department at the fair
the exhibit Of pigeons and pet stock has
attracted much attention. Here are to
be found every conceivable variety Of
pigeons, guinea pigs, hares and rats
The people are always standing in
crowds along the railing Of this exhibit
The inspection of anything that moves
and breaths is always attended with in
terest but when nature has beautified an
animal with a combination of pleasing
colors, the spectators interest is in
creased.
The birds and pets shown at the fair
present many and varied colors. Not
only are they attractive on account OF
their appearance, but competent judges
say the little animals possesses the i'm
portant points by which fanciers deter
mine their breeding and class. It is I'M
doubtedly the best thing of its kind ever
shown in Kansas. There are those here
who have attended pet stock exhibits in
other places and they say this show is
much superior in number variety and
perfection of the animals shown.
There are now 800 birds, go guinea
