lean Poultry Association.

The Blue Grass Fair is member of
the American Poultry Association, and
the exhibit in this large and important
department will be governed by the
rules of that Association. This is a
guarantee of equal rights and justice
to all.
A classification embodying premi-
ums for over 800 classes of poultry
and pigeons has been prepared, and
the management expects this year to
be, as usual, great show.
In addition to cash premiums, the
Blue Grass Fair and number of mer-
chants of Lexington have donated sill
yer cups and many additional prizes
of merchandise, etc.
Heretofore the Pigeon Department
has been under the management of
the Poultry Department, but through
the interest of the wide awake Pigeon
Breeders of this section, the manage
ment of the Blue Grass Fair has ap-
pointed a committee of the foremost
pigeon breeders and placed the depart
ment in their hands, which assures
big show under proper management
DR.. c. w. Trapp, DR.. A. Porter Taylor
and Mr.. E. w. Hoke have been en-
gagged as judges and a winning here
will mean as much as at any state fair
in the country. Come, bring your birds
and help us make this the largest and
| most successful show in the South If
you can not come yourself, send your
birds, and We assure you they will get
| the proper care and attention.
Birds will be cooped in Standard
| Uniform Coops, and one bird to the
section, for which the small sum of
five cents per bird will be charged.
This assures no fighting or ragged
! birds at the end of the show. Every
attention will be given birds not ac-
! companied by owners, so in making an
| entry here you can rest assured that
your birds will be well cared for.
