Inc hrst Greater America Colonial
exposition was duly inaugurated on
tne morning of July 1, when a grand
street pageant marched through the
streets OF Omaha and out to the beau
tiful grounds, where the formal exer-
cises were held. Large crowds Of Wis
itors are daily testifying to the sue
cess achieved and are paying deserved
compliments to the magnificent results
achieved. The buildings are RAPIDLY
ming with splendid collection Of ex-
nibits and large force Of men are
working day and night to put ex-
nibits In place. The ground decora-
lions are far more beautiful than those
OF last year and nothing is lacking to
please, instruct and entertain those
VINO visit the great Exposition.
The agricultural feature of the
Greater America Exposition ia re-
ceiv1ng much more than the usual at
IGNITION accorded this department at
expositions. Instead of the bronze
medal and silver cup the exposition
management has decided to nav cash
premiums to all counties that make a
creditable showing of farm products.
In order that the spirit of this enter
prise be of recognized value to exhih-
itors there has been set aside sc, 900
to be divided into twenty five prizes.
to be awarded to the twenty-five coun-
ties scoring the highest in quality of
collective exhibits. These prizes are
graduated from four hundred to one
thousand dollars each. In addition to
the above there is an additional FRO
vision for all other counties making
displays. which is, that no county shall
receive less than two hundred dollars
cash award II its display is of recog-
nized merit.
