Acting' Mayor Candler received a tele gram from, tin- company today, stating that the changes in plans were satis fatoery, and that tin engineer was on his way to Atlanta to take charge of the work. While Aiderman Candler, as an ai derman. opposed lite plan until ilis vote would have been metelj a formal pro- I test, he said that he would sign the plans and see that the work was rush- ! ed as rapidly as possible, because May- | or Winn was much in favor of the: plan. As aiderman. Mr. Candler held up the contract to tear down the old cre matory because the plans for the new crematory, which is to be erected on the same site, had not been approved. He said the contract to tear down the old crematory would undoubtedly be approved at tho next meeting of the aldermanic board. Junies G.

With the finest collection of high grade chickens that was ever housed under one roof, tiie ninth annual exhi-l bition of the Georgia Poultry associa tion opened its doors today. It is announced that the price of ad mission for its show this week will be a dime. This is an unusually low price. It is a fact beyond all chance of con tradiction that no first-class show In America, outside of Atlanta, ever threw its doors open at any such price. The usual rates for admission to tirst-elass chicken shows run from 25 cents to $1 I'he express companies unloaded two thousand of America's finest fowl; at the Auditorilnn-Armory yesterday, and over 50U mote were delivered by vehicle and by hand at the Auditorium this morning. Superintendent Frank Coll and his gang of helpers were on hand all day : Sunday and early this morning, and b\ j quick work it was possible to gel all 1 birds uncrated and placed before ilp doors were formally thrown open. All day Sunday the Auditorium was I crowded with people who were out t< get a glimpse of the birds as they were placed in their exhibition quarters. Es pecial interest was felt in the miniature pond and tile inclosed pen of Asa G. | Candler, Ji 's, exhibition on the stage, but none of the fancy stock was placed there until today. It did not take long after the birds began to arrive to determine just the amazing amount of class that this show possesses Owens Farm to Show. For one thing, tiie Owen Farm, of Vineyard Haven. Mass., is represented. To anybody who knows a Brahma from a Bantam this means that America's greatest pouitrj farm is exhibiting. And that they are exhibiting In most impressive fashion is evident from the fact that they have sent 64 birds, under the personal charge of M. F. Delano, to the local show. The Owen Farm exhibit consists of Buts and White Orpingtons. White Wy. andottes, Barred Plymouth Rocks, White Plymouth Rocks and Single and Rose Comb Reds. These birds have been shown at the Nashville and Mem phis shows, where they picked up 54 first prizes. To those who follow national poultry shows, it will be recalled that last year the Owen Farm made the most amaz ing .--weep in the classes it entered in 1 the national show ever known in poul- | try show history. It took 2.7 firsts out | of 49 chances, and did it In th-- ■ i'lss--, where the competition is nlw ; retnely torrid—and in the greatest poultry show in the wori't- . . uu«. i. Square <l»irden. Candler's Birds Strong. It Is not to be supiKised, however, that Owen Farm will have any walkover, especially In the Orpington classes. For Asa G. f'andlei. Jr.'s, birds represent very nearly the last word in Orping tons These birds were gathered to gether by this mlllionalri lane! . with no tnought of expense. He wsnted the MONDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1912. Al.

The money was well spent, too, as his | winnings in Macon indicate, and he will give the Owen Farm stock an awful chase for first honor.- Aldrich Birds Here. Nur will these tw o br> t ilers hat e any monopoly In the Orpington division. For one thing. Geotge J. May, manager of the Aldrieh Poultry Farm, is here with fourteen White Orpingtons, the I variety raised exclusively On the Al drich farm in Columbus. Ohio. Mr. May ts showing two cocks, two cockerels, two liens, three pullets and one pen. and they ate wonders. The Aldrich stock repesents the best of the famous Kellerstrass line. M". May was for merly with Kellerstrass, and when hi l-.-ft he spent $5,000 for Kellerstrass brids. As a result lie has some won derful stock. The Aldrich Orpingtons have been show n a few times this year already. They took four out of five firsts at Allentown, Pa., including the Gratfd Championship Futurity for cock erel and pullet, worth $l2O cash. They ~ls i won first pullet at Hagerstown, MC.. irul first pullet and some specials at Glasgow, Ky. Judged from past rec ords and present appearance, these ■ birds will make It interesting fur the Candler and Owen strings. Another strong Orpington showing [ will be made by Bruce &• Abbott. O. M. Abbott, manager, is here with 27 Buff Orpingtons, and expects to take back a fair share of prizes to White land. Ind. At the recent Indiana state fair at Indianapolis, this firm took ali firsts, all seconds and all but one third for Buff Orpingtons. La."t year at New Orleans they won four firsts and ten specials. Ups°n Birds Wonder*. Another Orpington exhibitor w ho will be able 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 tliat 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 In the other divisions there will be good competition, too, and, all in all, the show will stand unrivalled in the history of Southern shows. Il does not lead in the number of birds, but it Is free from barnyard stuff and junk.
