Arizona republican., 1906-11-12

going to see even early this morning.
 The poultry exhibit was installed yesterday, or rather, the installation of it was finished. There are now about 1000 birds. That is three times as
 many as were exhibited last year and the quality of the exhibit is said by experts to be three times as good as 1t Was year ago. One exhibitor yester- day sold a bird for S25.
 The poultry was judged yesterday by Henry Berar, of San Jose. Cal. the noted poultry expert, who had charge of the awards of the exhibit a year ago. The coOps are all decorated and the exhibit will be open to inspection at noon today. Many of the finest birds have been brought from Califor- mia. Some Of the chickens are as big as turkeys. C. B. Wood, superintend- eut of this department. will be at his offices at the grounds from noon until one o'clock during the fair where he may be seen by those specially inter ested in poultry raising.
 It has been announced that an ex- ception will be made in favor of the Indians as to the time for entries, and l that exhibits of all kinds will be re- ceived prior to Indian day, which is Friday. This works no hardship on other exhibitors. since the Indians can not be in competition with them. It is hard to get the Indian down to any schedule and no attempt has been made to do so at this fair. While the Indians are set to competing among themselves, they will eventually be ad- mitted on the same conditions as white exhibitors. Among the exhibits by the Maricopas, will be samples of grains and other crops.
 The race track is in the finest possi- ble condition. It was never so good be- fore, and there is little chance for inn provement in it. If the weather con- tinues clear as it now is. this will be e notable week for the hOrsemen. iu- deed for all Arizona, and it is confi- dently expected a new worlds pacing record will be made. MT. Gatcomb, the owner of Audubon Boy. for more req sons than one, desires to lower the record which his horse already holds. He came here very largely for that purpose, and conditions at this writ ing indicate that there is every prob ability that he will do so. The horse is in good condition and the track is in good condition. Audubon Boy will start today against the record, and if all goes we'll he will give another ex- hibition on Thursday.
 There will be two fine horse races beside, five heats each, if so many are needed to get the money, with $1OOO hanging up for the winners. A running race will follow and some of the con- testants today made names for them selves a year ago on the same track, while others are new and waiting for honors.
 There will be also several amuse-
 
 tensions. and Morphy, who will sing to beat the band, all of which are re- ferred to in the program in another column.
