 Contrary to general expectations. the
 awarding of the prizes for the poultry show did not take place yesterday as Judge Marshall was unavoidably de- layed. The statement that Asa C.. Candler. Jr., of Atlanta, who has a large number of birds on exhibition, would not compete for the prizes is err roneous MT. Candler has entered his birds with the intention of carrying off all the awards he can and Is req sonably sure of some ribbons. The ex- lhibit of Percy Cook of Scotch Plains. N J., the original tor and owner of the famous Orpington fowls, will not enter tho competition as he would be practically competing against his own stock and customers. He will present a handsome silver cup to the customer winning the most prizes.
 The poultry show Is larger and con tains a higher class of birds than ever before and is undoubtedly one of the features of the fair. The show is so good and there are so many large ex hibits that it would be manifestly un- fair to comment on any individual ex- hibit until after the awards have been made. Many of the small exhibitors have splendid birds on exhibition and the awarding of the ribbons will be no easy task
 Gregory Farm Exhibit One of the most attractive and interest ing individual exhibits is.- that of the GfegoTy farm of White Hall, H.. show ing number of famous Percheon horses, brood mares and stalions. and num- Der of pens of fine Berkshire pigs. The exhibit is placed between the poultry show and the cattle show and is in charge of E. E. Hyatt, manager. It is under a large tent owned by the management of the Gregory farm. The extent of the ex- hibit can be judged by the fact that three large palace cattle cars are required to transport them. The exhibit was recently shown at the state fair of Tennessee held at Memphis and was the winner of many prizes. both for individual animals and as whole. The exhibit is here, however, for show purposes only, and will not compete for any of the prizes. One of the stallions has captured the champion prize wherever shown and is a magnificent specimen. He is the famous stallion 'Huchoir," a large black, of splendid proportions He is the property of w. r.. C.. Humes of Huntsville, who paid 5000
 for him after he was declared the winner
 at the Memphis fair.
 The cattle and live stock shows are
 attracting much attention and are twice
 as large as last year. The exhibit excells
 both in quantity and quality the exhibit
 of any previous year and is better housed and provided for.
 Pure Food Displays
 An interesting collection of exhibits is the pure food displays and demonstrations in the upper floor of the woman's build- ing. The exhibits are most attractively
 arranged and practical demonstration of
 daintily prepared foods are given. The results are certainly appetizing and show the possibilities of the food articles displayed. A majority of the food ex- hibits are flour and meal and wonderful
 results are obtained by the attractive
