THE POULTRY SHOW.
Competition hot enough to suit the
most enthusiastic sportsman is prom.

poultry, to be exhibited at the coming
poultry show. which opens Wednes
day. Nov. 1., in the old Lehman build.
ing, on Canal street.
With 1,504) birds entered, these
coming from practically every state
east of the Rocky Mountains. and all
graduated from a course of prepara
tion likened to that of a prize-fighter,
the results of the judging here will be
watched with greatest interest all over
the country.
The New Orleans show last year
won the reputation of being a "quality
show," and the high entry fees and
limit placed on number of entries this
year has kept out all but the first qual
ity of birds, the aristocrats of the
feathered tribe.
When the doors of the poultry show
are opened to the public, the latter will
be welcomed by the 1500 birds the u.
selves, after the manner of the feath
ered tribe. The formal opening to the
public will take place at 6 p. m., Thurs
day, as the judging will take place
during the day, and all of the awards
will have been made before the open
lig.
The man on whom falls the burden
of the work at the show is Mr. Parkin
son, superintendent of the show itself.
Mr. Parkinson's duties will consist of
arranging the birds as they come in.
so that there will be no confusion in
the property of the various owners
and so that each bird will go directly
back to the owner after the show is
)ver.
Naturally, he is responsible for
every bird in the show; also his duties
will be that of answering approxi
miately 200,000 questions a day and
making no mistake.
Needless to say the superintendent

the show, and Mr. Parkinson, too, is
ailing this position for the second

will present this comedy success with
their rotable New York Astor Theatre

the work of Mary Roberts Rinehart
and Avery Hopwood, holds the record
for plays whose object is laughter.
Persons are drawn to it time and time

nishes fresh laughter and new pleas
ure. It is impossible to take it all
in the first time. It is a heartiet
laugh each time it is seen. This verb
quality of sustained merriment is what
stretched "Seven Days" into a third
year in New York. People went tc
see it again and again, and liked ii
better each time. That is why at
the Astor Theatre in New York, it
made the record of the American
stage, running into a third year. Oul
of town people shouted over it when
it came to their homes, and they made
all their friends go to the biggest
laughing hit of the generation. So it
ran six months in Chicago. four in
"THE GIRL IN THE TAXI."
The greatest event in of the present
theatrical season will be marked in
this city by the return appearance ol
the widely-heralded play, adapted from
the French, entitled "The Girl in the
Taxi," which is scheduled for appear
sace at the Crescent Theatre for one
week, beginning next Sunday evening.

"THE COUNTRY BOY."
Ill nry It. Hlarris will present "The
Coun'ry Boy," Edgar Selwyn's great
comedy success, at the Tulane for the
week of Dec. 10. The play concerns a
young man who goes to New York
City to make "his success in life." He
experiences several disillusionments,
goes through some pretty tough times,
and although he jumps with both feet
into the gayest of the gay lives along
"The Great White Way," he finally
comes to believe that the only way
out of it is by way of the gas route.
But he doesn't succeed in committing
suicide, and it all turns out all right
in tho end, making as sweet and
wholesone and withal, as realistic a
story of every-day life as was ever
staged. I
a month spending money-and object
ing strenuously to the penury thus
forced upon him. Indeed, he has been
making absenttreatment love to a
contortionist lady in the flat upstairs
and pawning his father's clothes to
buy flowers for her. Then Percy and
Mary Peters appear upon the scene.
Percy is looking for "the girl in the
taxi," who proves to be Mrs. Smith,
the wire or a perrume manuracturer
who comes to pay a visit to the Stew
arts on the eventful evening which
starts the play on its rapid-fre, speed
defying Journey of Joys and Jealousies.
The senior Qtewart slides out of the
house late at night, follqwed by Percy
and later, by young Bertie, the des
tination of each being unknown to the
other. The destination of each proves
Ia- to be the same dining room in the
ay ('afe ('Churchill, wher complications
e- fairly tumlble over each other through
ed out the act. The head waiter steers
im the hole into greater and greater
he turmoil, the climaxes are postpolied,
,heightened, tihe laughs conic like dis
ts charges front gatling guints, and the
it end of the ac.t, which conies in a per
or feet turmoil of comedy, finds the audi
ence almost exhausted fronm laughing
and aasping for breath.
It would be bad to describe the last
act. which, in many ways, is the fun
niest of the three, and as the Boston
SGlobe said, "There isn't a slow mo
ment In the entire performance."
"THE WHITE SQUAW.'
The attraction at the ('rescent for
the week of Dec. 10. beginning Sunday
night, will be "The White Squaw."
This i.; one of the most stirring plays
I seen here In a long time. It is a melo
drama with a grip, and is filled with
heart interest. Della Clarke will be
seen in the leading role, and the en
tire company is very talented. There
will ibe a complete scenic production.
SEA MONSTER IN METHUSELAH'S
CLASS;
Said to Be More Than One Hundred
and Fifty Years Old.
If Methuselah were alive today he
might feel something In common with
the sea cow which is at present being
exhibited at 610-612 Canal street. On
account of the thickness of its skin the
animal is estimated to be between 150
and 200 years old. It was brought to
the city Monday from Shreveport,
where it had been on exhibition at the
state fair.
The creature is eleven feet and four
inches long, and weighs 1310 pounds,
and despite its years, is enjoying the
best of health.
This species of the sea cow, also
known as the Sirenlan or Manatee,
was captured in July off the coast of
Point Isabel, near Brownsville, Texas.
The fishermen of this region noticed
for some time a peculiar looking ani
mal In the waters thereabout, and a
number of seines belonging to the sea
faring men were ruined through com
ing in contact with this monster.
After several attempts to land the
- anima; on the beach, the fishermen
Sfinally succeeded in capturing him,
a thirty-two seines and ninety-two men
k being needed to accomplish the feat.

a Zoologists connected with the Smith

s cow -which the animal represents was
