Same Old Officials.
The show officials will be the same as
last year. c., o. Harwell will, as usual
serve as secretary. Except for one short
interruption, he has served in this ca
pacity since the organization of the as
sociation, and this will be the eighth
show in Atlanta of which he has had
charge. F. j. Coll will again serve 10
superintendent. with j. H. Reynolds az
his assistant These men occupied the
same positions last year. and are vet
Grams at the poultry show business.
They have never failed to keep all
birds in good condition throughout the
shows, and to return them in good or
der when it was over. Mr.. Reynolds
will be in especial charge of the ducks.
The show this year will be a better
balanced one than last years excellent
exhibit There will be more ducks this
year, more turkeys and more pigeons.
Every popular breed will be represented
and in some of the varieties the show
ing will be tremendous. The Rhode Is

ticulary strong. 1t is doubtful if ever
before there has been one that even
remotely approached it Another ire
mendous showing will be in ducks. and
particularly of the White Indian Run
ner variety Last year the local show
set a worlds record in this respect and
this year it will no doubt top last year'a
mark
