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.

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.
