HENS STARTED IN
A NOVEL CONTEST
Egg-laying Tourney Begins
Mid Scenes of Frenzied
Excitement.

. Philadelphia, Feb, With a flap
ping of wings and wild cackles of de-
light, accompanied by crows of encour'
agement from the admiying cocks
thousands of hens started today in the
first great international egg-laying
contest. Vineland, n. j., is the scene
of the remarkable competition. which
will continue for year.
Breeders and poultrymen Of the en-
tire world have entered their crack
biddies in the race. which has for its
principal purpose the testing Of the
egg reproducing qualities. of all breeds
and brands of hens under the best con
ditions. The entries are housed il
buildings erected according to modern
scientific plans and will be fed on the
same kinds of food and kept under the
same conditions.
Each entry consists of ten hens, ano
is housed in separate pen, and q
careful record of the number Of eggs
secured each day from each pen will
be kept All breeds and strains OF
birds are included in the contest.
Similar contests have been held ii
Australia, and competitions on a small
scale in this country. but this is the
first international event OF the kline
ever attempted.

have no acurate knowledge concern

be the exact statute of the American

she would have plenty of hackers.

At Local TheQters
"Brewster's Millions.

"Brewsters Millions" a dramatiza-
ton of George Barr McCutcheon's pop
uiar novel. will be the attraction at the
Gennett next Tuesday, February Z.
The McCutcheon play is an intensely
amusing farce-comedy with sensa-
ton in the third act that is easily the
best scenic illusion ever shown on the
stage. The scene transpires on board
Monty Brewster's yacht on the Med
iterranean during Il violent electric
storm. The deck of the yacht in this
scene rises and falls. the masts groan
and creak and sway to the accompani-
ment of peals of thunder and vivid
lightning flashes that light up the tu-
multuous phosphorescent waves and
the storm clouds that race across the
heavens. All the appurtenances of a
full grown hurricane are presented
and the effect is triumph of stage
mechanism. II requires a force Of q
stage hands to operate this vivid
scene which is covered by seventeen
patents controlled by Frederick
Thompson, the producer. Ten hours
are required to prepare the stage for
the intricate appliances.

1.-THE Genius"

There are few managers VINO keep
account Of the number of people their
attractions play to during season.
but Mort II. Singer, who will present
Henry Woodruff in The Genius" at
the Gennett next Wednesday, knows
almost the exact number, and he takes
pride in keeping records. Henry Wood
ruff in 1.-THE Prince of Tonight" last
season played to more than his other
shows, the record giving the number
of 325, 900 and his tour lasted about ten
months. MIR. Singer figures that Of
this number, there were very few dis
satisfied. and he figures that Woodruff
will play to at least 100000 this sea-
son in the new song comedy as it
is better play and the star will show
to greater advantage. The cast COM
prises many noted farceurs, more per.
haps than is usually seen in one or
ganization. as follows: Madge Ken
nedy. Cassie Jamison, Agnes Everett,
Ina Rorke, Lorraine Barnard, Messrs.
Theodon Doucet. Herman Hirskberg,
Chas. Wellesley, Frank Decum, Thomas
Mcknight. VIM. Jenner and others
of note. The charming chorus are re-
Quired to speak lines as well as to
sing and dance. Many new creations
in hats and gowns are displayed by
the feminine portion of the aggrega-
ton. The production is carried CON-
plete.

An Epoch in Showdom.

When Mr. Haag decided tOinaugu-
rate his 10Th year as n successful
purveyor of first class amusements,
to the public he mapped out his
route from coast to coast, opening
his season in early March at ShHve-
port. Since then the show has ira
versed the states of Texas, Califor-
MIA, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
part of Georgia.; and before closing
will make Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana, establishing a
transcontinental record never at
tempted by any show in any one
season. The show has used sc rail
roads so far this season, exhibiting
twice daily with the exception of
Sunday.
Nature has been very good to the
mighty Haag shows this season,
having been exceptionally so in the
wild animal department. The baby
camel, Lula. is easily the fdvorite
baby, with the baby elephant close
behind. Daily you can witness the
children of the different cities picking
their favorite baby in the big men
agerie, which is most always the
baby camel.
