The Exposition Of 1888 Pre-
pared to Eclipse All For
mer Efforts.
Already the Mastery Pro-
gramme Has Been Fully
Sketched Out.
Something Special for Each
Of the Thirty-Fou Great
Days.
A Pointer to the People as to
What They May Expect
This Year.

The following list of days and attrac-
lions, together with prizes to be given
by our enterprising merchants and citi-
Zens during our third annual exposition,
is merely an outline, to which many
other attractions will be added, dates
and character of which will be an
nounced later. Many features of value,
possessing the qualities of interest and
instructiveness in the highest degree,
are omitted here for the reason that
circumstances do not allow OF
the dates being fixed SO far
in advance. The unprecedented liber-
atty of our public-spirited citizens in
offering the management prizes to be
awarded to the various attractions, is
taxing their ingenuity of the manage
ment to dispose of them, but as they are
gentlemen of wonderful resources, they
will, doubtless, be able to satisfactorily
dispose of all that are contributed. The
assignment for the days as given here
may be changed to some extent as cir
cumstances render 1t necessary, but no
changes for the worse will be made, and
attractions will be in the way of i'm
provements, and duly announced.
