Arrangements are being made
rapidly perfected for the Second An
nual Exhibition of the St. Tammnay
Stock, Poultry and Pet Animal Elk
hibition that will be given under the
| auspiees of the Bogue Falaya Parh
Com mission and the Woman's Pro.
| gressive Union, of Covington, La.
on Nov. 8, 10 and IL, 1911.
| If present indications count for
anything the coming exhibition will
he one of the finest entertainments
| of its character that has ever been
| i'll Covington, and the progressive cit
izens who are connected with it are
| working hard toward making it an
unualified success in every partqicu-
lar. Last years show was the first
OF its kind ever to be given in this
section, and the large attendance that
visited Bogue Falaya Park every
day during the exhibition voiced
their apreeiatioR of the splendid ex-
hibitions; made. Tne first exhibi-
tion was gotten up rather hurriediy,
but at that it was conceded to have
been one of the best educat tional en-
tertainments given in long time.
Elaborate plans have ben outlined
for the next one, and it promises to
eclipse the former shoW in every
particular.
In order to enlarge the scope Of
the Second Annual Exhibition, the
gentlemen comprising the personnel
of the Bogue Falaya Park Commits
sion have extended an invitation to
the Woman Progressive Union to
join them in making it a grand sue
cess, and with their usual progress
sive spirit the ladies have volun-
teered to lend their assistance in
every possible manner. The men,
bers of theWoman's Progressive I'm
ion will have exclusive control OF
the WomeRs' Department Of the ex-
hibition. This department will EN-
brace everything appertainiHg to the
feminine sex, and it goes without
saving that it will prove to be one of
the most interesting features on the
grounds. Excellent specimens of en-
broidery, needle work, lace, dress
making, ETC., along with cakes, pies
ard other culinary .feats will form
the principal part of this department.
Covington includes, without doubt,
some of the most capable cooks and
pastry artists in the business, anr
to be able to partake of some of their
Efforts it is certainly worth going
miles to enjoy them. The art de-
partment will enable the artistical-
ly inclined to show the results of
their craft, and this will tend to
stimulate interest in this particular
branch. A monster flower show,
where al the beautiful flowers and
plants of our favored region can be
seen, will ocupy conspicuous posi-
ton. Interest among the members
of the fair sex is already keen, and
there is no doubt but that they will
all strive to make this a mem orable
OCCASION. Handsome premiums have
been purchased and donated, and the
successful ladies in the various class
es will capture prizes that they will
be proud of.
1t became evident last year that
the pavilion in Bogue Falaya Park
was not large enough to accommodate
the multiplicity of splendid exhibits
brought in from the surrounding
country, and in order to obviate any
lack of room the Park Commission
will have several exhibit halls erect
ed for the approaching show. The
new Structures will house the pcul-
try, swine and other similar offerings,
and everything will be done to han
die the proposition in a business-like
manner. Secretary G. E. Schonberg
is in receipt daily of dozens of COM
munications from prospective exhib-
itors, and he is ready to furnish ap-
plication and entry blanks to all who
are desirous of competing. A fea-
ture of the entertainment will be ad-
dresses by prominent candidates in
the State and Senatorial election,
and the Secretary is confident that
several big guns will be on hand
to regale the crowd with their vir-
lures. The friends and supporters
of the candidates will be given every
opportunity of hearing their rcspec-
tive choices, and every speaker will
be accorded the hospitality of the
gentlemen in charge
The t, Tammany Stock, Poultry
and pet nimAal Exhibition is intend
ed primarily for the purpose Of dis
playing the agricultural, poultry
raising, dairying and other indus
tries of St. Tammany parish, and the
interest manifested in it speaks well
for the energetic citizens of our COM
munity who originated the idea. 1t
is not simply Covington institu-
ton, but it is intended for the parish
at large, and it should receive the
sIport and encouragement of all.
When a man possesses an exception
ally fine cow he loves to show it to
his friends and enumerate it's many
notable points, and this serves to
arouse an interest in this quarter.
II is mans nature to try and pro-
duce something just little superior
to his brothers and this leads to
composition; without which there is
