Capt. Purse has received the official an
nouncement of the awards, with the eX-
ception of those in which mistakes were
made in the names OF the exhibitors
when first made out, which are expected
to arrive to-day and the diplomas Will De
distributed to the fortunate exh2eit 4
at the rooms of the savannah trelsht bu-
reau tomorrow at noon.
A note is attached to each diploma an
nouncing that certain changes mad been
made BY the directors of the exposition
in the awards as first announced on &C
count of the discrepancy between the
terms employed by the jury Of award and
those employed in making awards at
other expositions, which viii make the
medals correspond with the honors, as
The awards which received dl-
plomA Of honorable mention will
have bronze medals; those which
received diplomas of excellence
will have silver medals and those which
received diplomas of honor win have gold
medals BY this action the directors do
not change the grade Of award or the
phrases employed by the jurors. Gold
and silver medals must be paid for by the
recipients. Bronze medals and diplomas
are furnished by the exposition company"
1t seems that there was some dissatis-
faction on the part of the majority of the
exhibitors at the exposition with the ac-
ton Of the fury of award. The exhibitors
thought the jury was entirely too rigid
in its ideas as to the merits of exhibits,
and that II was altogether too sparing in
its award of the higher honors. The di-
rectors of the exposition took the matter
in hand and allayed the dissatisfaction by
the Arrangement stated above
Capt. Purse will go TO Atlanta Jan. I
to see to the packing and safe return of
the Savannah exhibits. Mr., ID. II. Blythe
wood is now in charge of the exhibit,
with Mrs. Fred Myers, who has had
charge of the ladies' exhibit during the
axDOsitiOn.
