 A HUGE SUCCESS
GIMLIN PRAISES FAULK- NER'S SHOW-OVER SIX HUN
 DRIED BIRDS ENTERED.

With the largest entry list yet. the Faulkner county poultry show reached the high-water mark in qualiy also. Judge Gimlin, one of the best known poultry judges in America, says that the show is much above the average, the entries in Brown Leghorns and White Wyandottes being especially fine. Six hundred birds, representing almost all the breeds, have been en- tered, the Rhode Island Reds being most numerous. One of the curiosities of the show is hen 17 years old, en- tered by G. H Griffin of Vilonia.
 Superintendent L. B. Pence stated this morning that on account of the large entry list, Judge Gimlin could not possibly finish grading the birds until this afternoon, and the winners of the different prizes would not be announced until sometime tomorrow. Five handsome loving cups are to be awarded to the winners.
 As a departure from the previous shows, an egg contest has been added, and large number have been entered. Judge Gimlin will also grade the eggs.
