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. The Germania Electric Company will show dynamos, motors, etc., operating printing presses and other machinery, incandescent lamps, etc. The.

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 govern all athletic events; and the rules of the L. A.

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. Exposition Notes. Mr. W. Ed. Platt was yesterday arranging with the Thompson-Houston Company for an electrical apparatus which will be neces sary beyond the power which each one of the big exhibitors will generate for them selves. A railroad track is to be arranged be tween the Georgia railroad siding, and by Sunday next exhibits will be hauled right through the buildings.
