Transmississppl Poultry association. The
indications were that room would be at
premium. The poultry show will open this

the quality OF the birds. Rare birds Of high
degree have already arrived and more are
entered and will be in their places this

poultry show and the cry of Secretary

Double Eentry Fee.
The poultry association has doubled the
entry fee and this has had the effect Of
keeping out the entries of large number
to win, but has greatly Increased the
standard of the birds. The number
of entries under the new ruling is most en-
couraglng and poultry fanclers Will be
given a real treat when they visit the Au-
dtorium this week.
All day yesterday a large force of car
penters was busy preparing the benches
for the birds and dogs. The exhibit plan
will be different this year from the past,
as one main aisle will run down the cen
ter of the Auditorium arena and the aisles
between the coops win run north and
south, giving much more room both for
coops and visitors.
The Hamilton Pixley kennel has offered
the gilt edge cup as a trophy for the best
pointer at the show. This prize was won
last year by Bert Dixon. but this year Mr..
Dixon has his dog on his ranch in Okla

Many other good ones have been entered
for the prize, however,
