The usual rates for admission to, first-class chicken shows run front 25 cents to JI The express companies unloaded two thousand of America's finest fowls at the Auditorium-Armory yesterday, and over 500 more were delivered by vehicle and by hand at the Auditorium this morning.

Es pecial interest was felt in the miniatur ■ pond and the inclosed pen of Asa G. Candler. Jr.'s, exhibition on the stage, but none of the fancy slock w as placed there until today. It did not take lung after the birds began to arrive to determine just tin amazing amount of class that this show possesses. Owens Farm to Show. For one thing, the Owen Farm, of Vineyard Haven. Mass., is represented. To anybody who knows a Brahma from a Bantam this means that America’s greatest poultry farm is exhibiting. And that they are exhibiting in most impressive fashion is evident from tin fact that they have sent 64 birds, under I the personal i hinge of M. F. Delano, to the local show. The Owen Farm exhibit consists of Buff and White Orpingtons, White Wy tndof.es. Barreil Plymouth Rocks, White Plymouth Rocks and Single and Rose Comb Reds. These birds have be* n shown at the Nashville and Mem phis shows, where they picked up 54 first prizes.

The money was well spent, too, as his | winnings in Macon indicate, and he w ill give the Owen Farm stock an awful chase for first honors. Aldrich Birds Here, Nor will these two hr* eii rs have any monopoly in the Orpington division. For one thing, George J. May. manager of the Aldrich Poultry Farm, is here with fourteen White Orpingtons, the variety raised exclusively on tile Al drich farm in Columbus Ohio. Mr. May is showing two rocks, two cockerels, two hens, three pullets and one pen, and they ate wonders. The Aldrich stuck repesenls the best of the famous Kellerstra-s line Mr. .May was for merly with Kellerstrass, and when hi left he gpent $5,000 for Kellerstrass brids. As a result he has some won derful stock. Th* Aldrich Orpingtons have been shown a few times this year already. They took four out of live firsts at Allentown. Pa., including the Grand Championship Futurity for cock erel and pullet, worth $l2O cash. They alffo won first pullet at Hagerstown.

At the recent Indiana state fair at Indianapolis, this firm took ali firsts, all seconds and all but one third for Buff Orpingtons. Lust year at New Orleans they won four firsts and ten specials. Ups°n Birds Wonders. Another Orpington exhibitor who will In- abb* to show birds that class right with any of the top-liners will be Mrs. L. L. Upson. of Athens, Ga. Mrs. Up son has birds that rival anything ever shown in America, and It is a safe pre diction that she will win her share of prizes, even In the present show, where the Orpington competition will be the warmest that was ever known in Dixie Ip the other divisions there will be good competition, too, and, all in all. the show will stand unrivalled in the history of Southern shows.
