must be considered also, and the fact that
more time, week or ten days, is needed to
perfect everything. The scene on the
ground was inspiring and created liberal
sentiment Amid the spectacular sur
roundings the poctical daughters Of the
south, in rich and tasteful attire, not only
lent tho charm of their presence, but excited
n conciliatory influence among the audi
ence. The management announces that il
has perfected arrangements for an excursion
from the northwest from the 18th to the
10Th, to draw paying multitudes from the
leading cities of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky and Missouri On the 25th the

exhibits, will be opened On the 9th
the governors who have attended
the Yorktown centennial are expected
to reach Atlanta in body for the
purpose Of spending two days at the
exposition. They will be accompanied, It
is said, with their escorts, the governor of
Connecticut coming with the thirteenth
Connecticut regulars, and on the 9th
Georgia will turn out to the last inhabitant.

look over the products centerod in this
building opened here to-day, the event will

OF southern industry, and the fruits of the
enterprise will, it is believed, measure up
fairly to public expectation.

men who address themselves rs he has done
to the planting of vast enterprises, which
involves tens upon tens of millions, and the
development Of immense interests of con

In stating this, however, the Times does
