 Exhibits The Winners.

aide birds were returned, the builiing put in order. and the thousands of visitors declared it to be far beyond expectations. The total attendance was more than 500.
 Many were heard to remark that i, surpassed many shows iu larger olaces in all phases. quality of birds, number of entries, aud gen. eral results.
 The total entry was 264 birds, from all over Southwest Arkan- sas. Mena dId her full share in entries and attendance, and the local committee is duly grateful for the loyal support of the busi- ness interests, the local breeders ol poultry who entered to ''help out" aud 10 those from distance. The first feature of the show was the fine display from Hope, Ark.. of Bridewe1l & Barlow, who brought the largest entry, 2s birds, including Queen, v which was great drawing card. However, before the show closed it was shown that Mena and Polk county had 'some chickens, too, , many birds scoring 94 to %.
 Meua citizens may we'll cougr rat. ulate Father Gallagher on his "fnd' in the Black Orpingtons, of which he is 80 proud.
 With little right preparation the scores would have been ever more creditable to large uum Der of Mena entries, and another show will find more local birds in the 94 to 90 class. The local association will give special at tentiou to this another year. As it was, Mena and Polk county showed up remarkably well.
 The local committee report: that sufficient money is in sigh to close this, the first show, out oi debt, after paying all premiums coop rental, printing, expense oi judge, etc., splendid showing when it IS considered that tht people of Mena and Polk county have been given a splendid fire, snow"
