Everything moved off smoothly. The attendance was large and the Interest manifested great. Many Charlotte people missed a treat by not visiting the city hall while the fair was In progress. An Inspection of the exhibits was nothing snort ot revelation to many.. They did 7ot believe that such fine birds were being raised In this section. The registered fowl Is so far superior to the mongrel that no comparison can be made, j Mr. George O. Brown, of Baltimore, an expert of national reputation, declared that, for the number of birds entered, he had seen no show which, in general exoellenoe,' approached the .Charlotte exhibition.
