Whereas, The citizens of Atlanta, Ca,
have organized the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition TO be opened on
the 18th of Septebemr next, and,
Whereas The government of the United
States has given to the exposition its rec
ognition by the appropriation of 100000
TO pay the expenses of an exhibit made
by the government under the supervision
of its officials, and,
Whereas, Many of our sister states have
made appropriations of money and ap-
pointed commissioners to represent them
at the exposition, and
Whereas, The New York state commits
sion recently returned from Atlanta re-
ports that the grounds and buildings al
ready indicate that in magnitude the ex-
position will be second only to that held
in Chicago and through a mutual knowl-
edge of the resources and industries to
each section, and of the South American
republics. whose exhibits will be a fea-
ture of the coming exposition in Atlanta,
and,
financial conditions will be promoted by
personal intercourse between the business
men of our several sections.
Resolved, That the executive committee
of the New York chamber of commerce
pending the general meeting of the
chamber to be held in October neXt-ap-
prove the action of our state legislature
in making provision for the representa-
ton of our state, and the action of his
excellency, the governor, In appointing
commissioners to the Cotton States and
international Exposition.
Resolved further, That we visit the ex-
position and we hope that the represen-
tatives Of our commercial and industrial
interests will avail themselves of this
chance to make such exhibits as will be
creditable to the resources and activities
