1t may be seen from the above pro-
gramme that the fireworks will be of
splendor probably never before seen
in Savannah. The moon, fortunately,
will be in phase during the Fair that
VIII not cause interference with the
fireworks, which will show to greater
advantage in darkness.
One of the most comprehensive ex-
hibits in the poultry department will
be made by the Ravensworth Pet Stock
Company of Baltimore. This company
will have more than 100 coops of poul-
try, embracing some of the finest
specimens of the various varieties The
poultry of this exhibit will reach Sa-
vannah on Nov. 8, when they will be
placed in the poultry sheds.
Col. j. H. Estill, Maj. G. NJ. Ryals
and Mr.. w. w. Sheppard returned
last night from Valdosta whittier they
went as a special committee from the
Board of Directors of the Savannah
Fair Association to invite the officers
of the Valdosta Association to visit the
State Fair. The gentlemen spent some
hours in the thriving and busy city of
South Georgia, and their stay was ex-
tremely pleasant. They were met at
the depot by a committee of citizens,
ana We're driven to the home of Mayor
Lane. After partaking of his hospi-
tallty, the visitors were driven in the
Mayors carriage to the Fair grounds,
where they saw the excellent exhibits
that have been gathered They were
particularly impressed with the poul-
try, most of which will be brought to
savannah. In fact, the Savannahians
round that great many of the exhib-
its at Valdosta will come here. This
was true of the horses, too. the owners
having decided to ship to Savannah to
put the animals in the races. All the
gentlemen speak in the most glowing
terms of the reception that was az
corded them.
Savannah business houses and insti
tutions that expect to have exhibits
at the State Fair would do we'll 70
show more hustle and activity. The
Time until the opening is brief, and,
u EXHIBITS are to be in readiness by
next Wednesday, none of it is to be
wasted. A trip to the Fair grounds
and a walk through the buildings show
mat nothing like the preparation is be-
ing made that there should be. Pre-
pairing booths and exhibits requires
time. Carpenter work will have to be
DONE and it is not always easy to get
carpenters. In fact, they are in de.
mand at the Fair grounds now, and
any that apply will have no trouble in
! finding a job.
Officers of the Fair Association have
been proud to predict that everything
would be ready for the opening of the
Fair by next Wednesday. They have
said that they thought the unusua
! spectacle of a Fair in perfect order
on the opening day would be present
ed. Unless those who have space fol
exhibits get very busy very soon, tn,
boast of the officers cannot be mad,
good. All the available space in thu
| buildings has been taken, and no gooc
impression would be created if visitors
the first day should find booths but
| half ready.
