wonderful railroad facilities in all d.
rections, making her easily accessible
for any part of the Union, her beau
tiful streets, and her unequalled facil-
tiles for street railroad transportation
and public accommodation demon
strate her special fitness for the hold
ing of those great industrial shows
for the South and Southeast.
The buildings and Grounds.
The buildings are situated within
the city limits into which great
trunk line of railroad runs through
cars TO the very door of the building,
two electric lines run Immediately in
front of the main entrance, which is
only fifteen minutes walk from the
center of the city. Another electric
street car line is in one minutes
walk of the main entrance. Thus
there are four transportation lines
from the city to the grounds which
in the past have been ample, but
which could be increased in number
when necessity should demand. The
building is the largest ever erected in
the South, being $40 feet long, 500
feet wide at one wing 400 at the
other, with a central dome 100 feet
high The building has the largest
music hall in this country,
outside of the great metropolitan
cities, and its adaptability for Expo
sition purposes in all other particu
lars far surpasses any other EXPOSE
ton building in the South, The
grounds in front of the buildings are
lad l,n f,soo Y,f ifc Of Z n ie,
Southern cline, and large and hand
some fountains throw clouds of spray
into the air, and shrubs, walks and
flower beds are laid out in the front
ground, making charming advance
to the magnificent buildings In the
rear of these mammoth buildings are
the poultry and pet stock buildings,
the stables, horse and bicycle tracks,
ground for the exhibition of agricul-
tural implements in operation COM
bining to make radius par excel
lence for exhibition of q miniature
world of matter-such as upon expo
sition occasions is grouped within
this radius of ninety acres.
The Great Event of 1893.
The Augusta Exposition has pro-
claimed throughout the country the
great event closes November 18th.
It's advertisements have been scat
tered over the North, South, East and
West.
The Exposition promises to be the
greatest agricultural, mineral and
mechanical exhibition ever held in
the South. The greatest display of
agricultural products ever made will,
without doubt, be seen here. Nam
moth exhibits of the manufactures of
the Southeast will also be made with
exhibits from all parts of the world
in magnificent liberality.
The Exposition Company have eX-
pended
Fifty Thousand Dollars
In attractions and will give some of
the finest ever seen in America.
Among them will be grand, gorgeous,
glittering amusements that viii en-
terrain the visitors to this great Expo
sitiOn. Excursions have been ar
ranged from all parts of the United
States, and the low rates on the rail
roads will bring people from all parts
of the country to the Augusta Expo
sitiOn and Georgia State Fair at
Augusta.
Railroad transportation.
The railroads have always been
very liberal in dealing with public
enterprises of the South, and the low
rates that they accorded to the EX-
position for the transportation of the
exhibits will no doubt be one of the
principal attractions in drawing the
crowds. No city is better provided
with railroad and steamship facil-
tiles than Augusta, and eight trunk
lines and two ocean steamship lines
will be of wonderful assistance in
bringing exhibits and visitors to Au-
gusta's great event.
The Officers of the Present
Exposition.
The Exposition Company at Au-
gusta have been fortunate in secur-
ing such 8 distinguished public spir-
tied man as the Honorable Patrick
Walsh to guide and direct the move
ment, and he has always surrounded
himself with corps of directors
whose names are a sure guarantee of
the great work in hand.
To Exhibitors and Privilege
People.
Attention of exhibitors and privi-
lege people is specially called in this
notice of the wonderful advantages
that can be had at this Exposition.
The combining of the Augusta Expo
sition and the Georgia State Fair will
make this the most important event
IN the South for 1898, and from pres
ent indications for big days and great
attractions that will be presented,
there will be more people assembled
in Augusta during the thirty days
than ever assembled in like time In
any one city in the South before.
The CarOlinas, Georgia, Ala
baIma and other Southern
States.
Augusta is certainly located in the
midst, and is the great distributing
point of the Carolinas, Georgia, Ala
hama and Florida, and, therefore,
these sections will all be represented,
vicing with each other for suprem-
acy in the exhibition of Southern
progress. North and South Carolina,
Florida and Alabama will all COM
pete in making county exhibits of
agricultural products besides extern
sive exhibits from these sections of
