SHOWS THEIR PROGRESS.
colored Atlanta Exhibit Opened te
Raise Funds.

Colored Atlanta Exhibit Opened to
Raise Funds,
For the first time in the history of exposi-
tions, the colored people will be given an
opportunity at Atlanta to show the progress
made by their race under freedom, in a sepa-
rate building. The structure viii occupy
an advantageous position on the grounds,
and those having the matter in charge
have given every encourag enient To coiored
people throughoutthe United States to make
an exhibit that may reflect credit on them
Realizing the Importance of such an ex-
hibit, and the many opportunities 1t offers,
the colored people of the District have gone
to work with determination to get up a
display that will, it is safe to say, not be
eclipsed by any at the coming show.
In order to raise additional funds to ship
their exhibit to Atlanta the commissioners
having the matter in charge have deter
mined to place the same on exhibition at
the rooms of the Colored Young Mems
Christian Association, on Eleventh street,
all this week, char ging nomina admission,
SO that all may be given In opportunity Of
seeing the exhibit before IL is shipped South.
The display made by the Colored Art
Society is especially fine, and many OF the
pictures placed on exhibition are excellent.
The pictures of Hon. Fred.:.ck Douglass.
j. NJ. Langston, and B. X. Bruce, three rep
resentative colored leaders, are especially
fine. and were executed by d. Freeman.
There is also a fine collection Of painted
china by Miss Eva Horr. and the Mott school
has furnished a sewing exhibit which is
quite worthy of notice.
Colored progress in the fields of literature
and music are also exempl!fied and illus
trated by creditable compositions, as well
as the work done by them In mechanical
inventions.
The display will undoubtedly prove in
teresting and instructive to all those who
are fortunate enough to see it.
