SOME LARGE CONCERNS.
Augusta can safely promise one of the
finest if not the finest Exposition in America
this year. It certainly will not lie surpassed,
and it is doubtful if it will be equalled.
The thousands who will attend daily during
Novenilier will so adjudge.
Augusta will have the handsomest elec
trical display ever arranged in America.
Repeat this statement to ell, and if any
one questions you Veal 1 at Exposition head
quarters and see what experts say of the
outlook. The two illustrations given below
show how the Various appliances will be
arranged.
LOOKING SOUTH.
General Manager J. B. Platt is workin
like a Trojan. He is receiving valuable
aid from Mr. J. W. Rycknian, the manager
of “Three Americas,” who is devoted to
Augusta and her interests, and has from the
first lent the weight of his influence and the
benefits of his experience to the manage
ment.
The electrical display already promises to
be the grandest ever arranged in America,
and equal in every respect to the famous one
which was the wonder of last year at the
Crystal Palace, London.
This is no wild statement. When it is
know’ll that such concerns as these named
lelow are to make elaborate displays of
i.s . . rq pliances and unique devicesit will
be at once potent to all that nothing like
our electrical display has ever before been
seen south of the Ohio and only north of
li st line when in connection with the
electrical convention, and then not 80 elabo
rate.
Where, in 1888, was the United States
government display, will be arranged the
electrical display. The signs are that the
rotunda from which will dart upward the
electric elevator to the observatory, ninety-
two leet above, will not be large enough to
hold aii the electrical appliances, and Music
Hall and the nearby apace for merchants’
displays will be encroached on.
The Thomson Houston Company have
just closed with General Manager Platt for
apace, and will show eloctrical rock drills,
■team pumps, hoisting machines, motors,
dy iiunios, etc.

AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
November 9 & 10, at Angusta, Ga.
Augusta has won the enviable reputation
of having fostered Amateur Athletics to a
degree not surpassed by any community in
the South. Nashville is about the only
Southern city which might vie with us for
prestige in this connection, but even tho
Tennessee metropolis is not as strong in field
sports proper as the Augusta organizations.
It is fitting, then, that in a city where the
most effective advancement has been made,
a grand Inter-state rally of Amateur Ath
letics should be held and the Exposition
Company announces the following program
for November 9 and 10.
Note the general requirements closely:
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY.
1. None but Amateurs shall be allowed to
contest. (The Rules of the A. A. U. shall

Give Your Connty a Chance.
Every connty contiguous to Augusta
should make an elaborate display of the
resources, products and advantages there to
be found. The results will repay the out
lay. The best mode of pr-K:edure for get
ting up a first-class county exhibit, is for the
Alliance, the Grange or the County Agri
cultural Society, as tho case may be, to ap
point one man, pay him for his time, and
let him make a thorough canvass of the
county, calling on every man in it, and mak
ing a note of what ae will promise to fur
nish for the exhibit. Then, when the time
comes, let him collect these promised arti
cles or products in some place of rendezvous
and arrange them systematically with each
contributors name on his contribution and
personally bring the entire collection to
Augusta, superintend the placing of it in
the allotted space, and attend to it daring
the course of the Exposition. This method
guarartees a full display and a free, impar
tial adjudication of the merits of the same.
