 MENTs AT THIS FAIR.
There Are More Entrants and Better Classes Of Stock Than Have Ever Before Been Shown
 In This State

The vanguard of exhibitors to thn Arkansas State Fair has arrivei Ii all the live stock to be shown this year is up to the standard set by the first arrival, there win be dlsp ay of stock next week the like of whi, h was never gathered before in the southwest, at least not at the Ar kansas State Fair.
 The Grand Champion nerd of Prize Winning Tamworth hogs was installed in the grounds yesterday morning. They are owned by w. W. Morton of RussellvilIe, Kentucky. This is the first time they have been shown in the United States. But dur ing the past summer they have ex- hiblted at al the notable fairs in Canada, and captured nearly all first prizes. They won first premiums at Ottawa, Toronto. Winnipeg, Regina and other places.
 One of these splendid animals, weighing nearly one thousand pounds was so injured in transit that it had to be killed yesterday The hog was worth $500 but it is doubtful If it could have been purchased from t:s owner even at that figure. There are twelve others in the nerd, ali of i'm mense size. Indeed, it is marvel that hog could navigate at all w.th one thousand pounds of pork perched on it's little legs. One of these hogs viii occupy an entire pen-a space usually given to four or five pork CTS .
 The total number or registerea swine to be shown at the fair this year will reach the number of five hundred All of the pens have been engaged but as there~are new exhi- Ditors applying every mail, it looks 0 the manager of the live stock de- 'artment, Hiram Wilmington, as II he will have to make arrangements care for some of the swine in
 ther buildings. Never before at any rate, has there been such de- mand for quarters to show prizc hogs as this Sixth Annual Arkansas s-tate Fair.
 When the news went over the state Chat the directors had erected n sl, pere building for the swine, every hog raiser in Arkansas who had fine stock to show immediately wanted to exhibit.
 1t will be remembered that in previous years those who wished l. zee the swine were obliged to 20 around the pens on the outside. where the mud and other disagree able features made an examnanoN somewhat of task But this year the large collection of splendid ant mals may be seen within fine bhi ding. Tine hog pens are arrang- ed on either side of an immense isle where plenty of room is found for the crowd. And when the t,sae comes for awarding the prizes, this sle will be boxed of at it's center and the animals will be shown to the judges and the crowd within wall protected enclosure.
 Reports from al over the state in dicate that the live stock department of the fair will surpass in the number If animals shown as we'll as in clas And breeding anything ever seen here in previous years.
 Another department of the fair which will make this a banner year in stock is the poultry show. Last year there were many exhibitors wha anne here and found brand new poultry house built for their pets. They were so pleased with the care given to their birds and so appreeia tive of the manner all awards were made. that they have done an i'm mense amount of free advertising Tor this years exposition From ey- cry corner of the state comes re- quisitions for space And the nnn- Der of foreign exhibitors is larger nah at any previous fair.
 The poultry department is under the mahagemen! of one of the mosi successful breeders in Arkansas Ht is Mir. George A. Ashley of Sulphui Rock. Ark, who will himse have large and interesting exhibit oi birds.
 There is accommodation for a5Go single birds in the new poultry house. But as the number of exni- bitors increases from day to day. it is likely that the chicks will have to share their little houses with 4 comrade or two. The tota nun Der of fowls that can be taken care
