amusements prepared for the week.
, The races will be run every after¬
noon during the fair on the new mile

Big Features Numerous
! While the Grand Circuit will bring
io Atianta the finest horse raci g ever
i ■ sen in the Couth, the Southeastern
(Fair Association has arranged at the
j same time to present to the fanners:
and people of this section the best
j and most complete cattle show ever
seen in the southern states,
Of the $03,000 in prize money of
fared in the various departments of
the fair, more than $10,000 of the
• amount will be given for displays of
fine cattle.
J In the showing made will be the
famous American Royal Live Stock
j exhibit which will come direct here
the close of the cattle show in Kan
| sas City. The magnitude of this single
exhibit alone will be appreciated when
it is known that it comprises eighty
solid freight cars loaded with cattle
and divided into four trains. In the
cattle exhibit will b'e seen an even
more extensive showing of famous
Herefords than was presented here for
the first time last year. The Ameri¬
can Hereford Cattle Breeders' Associa¬
tion is in charge of this particular ex¬
hibit in connection with which $5,000
in prizes have been offered.
Other exhibits of high class pure¬
bred cattle will include Shorthorns,
Aberdeen Angus, Polled Durbama, Red
Polled Cattle, Jerseys, Holstein-Frie
sians and Guernseys, for which classes
over $5,000 more is offered.
’fhe Great Cattle Sho w
Th^ practical practical suflg o? of th the cattle in¬
dustry dustry Will Will be be weil weil illust illustrated in a
model dairy and oew contest, in which
new and modern dairy machinery wili
be shown and exhibits of butter and
other products manufactured right on
the fair grounds.
But this is not all of the live stock
display. A special train of thirty cars
will bring one hog exhibit from Omaha
to the Southeastern Fair. Premiums
aggregating $8,419 have been offered
in this department aside and apart
from those for cattle. The American
Duroc-Jersey Swine Breeders’'Associa¬
tion, the American Hampshire Swine
i Record association, and the American
! Berkshire Breeders’ Association will
guarantee a large percentage of the
prize money for the best exhibits of
these breeds. For the accommodation
of spectators during the judging and
sale c£ animals huge pavilions have
been constructed on the fair grounds,
and large expensive bams have been
erected to house the stock.
Sheep wili constitute a different de¬
partment in which $318 ia prize money
will be distributed. Mules and jacks
will be exhibited in open competition
for prizes ranging from $20 to $5.
Next comes the Atlanta Poultry
Show, regarded as the foremost ex¬
hibition of its kind in the South. The
numerous entries received by Mana¬
ger R. M. Striplin already indicate that
this is to be a nation-wide affair. There
is scarcely a known variety of chicken
which will not be on exhibition, and
fancy and utility chickens will also
be shown. The poultry exhibit has
been divided into two sections, while
separate showings will be made of
turkeys, ducks and geesa
Boys and Girls, Too
In connection with this exhibit the
Boys’ and Girls’ Poultry clubs of Geor¬
gia will hold their contests and many
cash prizes, scholarships and so on
will be awarded for the best display.
The foregoing features would make
a great fair in themselves, but they
arc only a few of the things which the
Southeastern Fair will offer to visitors
here in October. The Fair, as a whole
will be a magnificent exposition of the
agricultural, industrial and educational
progress of the South. Every known
agr; .;i;turr.l product will be featured,
Thwill be modern agricultural ma
i-hiuory; there'will be model cottages;
annual Georgia Corn Show; the
C -’ Canning Club fihow; an extern
and varied showing of woman’s
v, rk in all lines. The’-'e will be ex
bibits shown f-\ r. ev :y county in
Georgia and from many of those in
neighboring and adjoining states.
