Mays of Long Ago.
Formerly—before the lease of the
Georgia railroad to the Louisville and
Nashville —May—during which month
occurred the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company—at least, a day
or two during the conventlon
there were delightful merrymaking
and festivity In Augusta. Augusta's
memorable volunteer tire department
parades and tests occurred at the
time and fun, frolic and frivolity took
possession here.
At t.he proper time the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Co. directors
will confer with all roads running into
the city for co-operation, particularly
in the matter of passenger rates for
the occasion and they feel confident of
every possible consideration. The
lessees of the Georgia Railroad, in
order to co-operate wth the Georgia
Ralroad and Banking Company direc
tors to make the May carnival a sue
cess, have determined to be more
liberal than ever In issuing free passes
to Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany stockholders coming to the con
vention, hoping In this manner to
make this occasion one of the greatest
events in Augusta’s history.
Mention of possibility of former
May day arrangement, will be sure to
win applause in Augusta and thin
section. The enterprise in contempla
tion Is in such excellent hands that
positive triumph is assured.

TOGS FOR HORSE SHOW;
WHAT MEN WILL WEAR
Mr. Victor J. Dorr Talks to Herald on the Subject—Th 4
Horse Show Supreme Topic of Conversation
from All Points of View.
The Horse /Show is the supreme
topic of conversation these days and
dross Is necessarily sn important sub
ject for consideration. Of course, the
women have long since planned their
gowns for the occasion, but, some
discussion having arisen ns to what
the men are to wear at, the Horse
Show. The Herald called on August
Dorr’s Hons for light on the subject.
In response to an Inquiry as to what,
will be proper dress for men at the
Horse Show, Mr. Victor Dorr replied
that conditions surrounding the Au
gusta Horse Hhow differed from other
affairs of the kind, and permitted a
wider range of choice In the matter
of dress. He said that, if a man wore
formal morning attire, frock coat, silk
hat, etc., he undoubtedly would be
correct. At the same time, the fact
that the Horse Show ts to be at the
Country Club, and In the open air, at
a time when spring Is beginning, and
INTEREST IN HORSE SHOW.
Primarily, we are Interested in the
Horse Hhow because It means a big
advertisement, for Augusta.
Hardly one whit
we because It. will undoubtedly be Ihe
means of adding largely to the fund
already growing delightfully large for
the greatly desired erection and sup
port of the Children’s Hospital.
Still another reason for rejoicing
in the enterprise is the tremendous
profit It means for our merchants. Ev
erybody goes to the Horse Hhow; ev
erybody goes properly attired—the
proper attire must necessarily be new

"As a matter of fart,’ said Mr. Dorr,

whom I have talked Is that the deslrs

To that end the official colors will
be very much In evidence—as hat
bands on the men and ribbons on the
women. Horsey scarf pins and watch

coats will be prominent, while riding
suits will be worn by men who will

"When In doubt as to what to wear
on any occasion," said Mr. Dorr, in
conclusion, "these are pretty safe

attire for the hour, local custom,
