OF EXPECTATIONS.

IutiOnary Relics to. Products OF
Modern Manufacturing ArtS-stud-

With a Free Lunch on the side.
1t Has a Good Location and At
tracts Many VisitOrS-Capt. Purse
and Mr.. Bythewood Due Much
Credit for the Success of Their Eff
forts and Management.
Savannahians who have visited the At
lanta exposition have been agreeably sur
prised and gratifed by the excellence of
the exhibit of the Forest City.
1t is by all odds ahead of any municipal
or county exhibit that has been made at
the Cotton States and International Ex-
position, and it has proven one of the
most attractive exhibits that has been
prepared. Its general excellence consists
in its variety and the harmony of its
arrangement
From old battle relics of the revolution
to the products of the modern man>
ufacturing arts, almost every class of
display is exhibited. There are studies
in practical natural history-the terrapin.
the crab and the shrimp, both canned and
crawling. Beverages of all kinds medic
inal and otherwise, from Savannah ar
tesian water to anything wanted, are
dominant. These first strike the eye and
attract to the equally interesting displays
beyond.
The arts of manufacture and printing
are well represented. The Morning News
has not only an interesting, but an in
sJrucuNe exhibit, showing the art of lithO-
graphing and its various results. Fertil-
izers, naval stores, canned goods, baking
powders, lamp black oils, cotton, soaps,
brooms, even old relics Of all kinds are
found most artistically arranged so as to
best attract the eye. A good lunch free of
cost can be procured there. A splendid
cook has always on hand a supply of hot
blscult with butter and they are the best
biscuit to be found on the grounds.
People who have been told that Savan-
nah exhibit is not well located viii find
themselves far wrong. 1t is the most
prominent feature of the transportation
building despite the fact it is on the sec
ond story. The building outside and in
at the northern end, is covered with signs
indicating its location, and flags Of the
city ana county, and of its, commercial
institutions wave freely in the air above
II. At the head of the broad staircase
leading to it is a large canvass on which
appears a statement of Savannahs bust
ness for the last twenty years. IL is
most creditable showing and one sur
passed by none and equalled by few
southern cities. 1t has proven
of Georgia and the south
but to visitors to the exposition general
~, and all who have seen have admired
il and the pluck and energy which gave
it birth.
The credit for this display is due to
Capt. ID. c. Purse, through whose UNI
tirlng efforts it was made d success. lie
has looked carefully after every detail
and superintended the arrangement Of all
the exhibits as they were brought in
He has been widely congratulated on the
successful management of it, and all the
congratulations have been justly due him.
The exhibit is IN charge of Mr.. -. II.

did not know before, and Mr.. BytheWoOd
is always ready to give any information

The gratifying news that Savannah eX-
hibits had won four silver medals came
yesterday. This was only the beginning
of the awards to Savannah exhibits, and
others will no doubt be heard from later
Those which received the medals were
