BULLOCK COUNTY IN LEAD
OF ALL COUNTIES TO SECURE
STAGE FOR COUNTY DISPLAY.

Correspondence With Several At
fractions Which viii Be Given
Free to Fair VisitOrs-Mnnagcr
saussy to Make No Definite Ar
rangements Until His Return from
Visits to other Fairs-AppIications
for Privilege Space Stin Coming
In-Advertising Contract TO BE
Let Soon.
Bulloch is the first county to be as
signed space in the Savannah Fair.
Mr.. j. r. Miller of Statesboro was in
the city yesterday and selected the
space Bulloch viii occupy. The exhibit
will be practically the same that will
be made at the State Fair
The management of the Fair desires
to call attention to the fact that there
will be no charge for space to Savan-
nah merchants, business houses, etc,
making exhibits, provided no business
is carried on during the Fair. Those
who wish to demonstrate their meth
DDS of working and who desire to sell
articles on exhibit will be sold the
privilege of so doing, the Fair holding
that where business is being carried
the profits. But if the space is desired
for exhibition only no charge will be
made, and every aid and encourage
ment will be given exhibitors to bring
their exhibits up to high standard.
Manager Saussy is also anxious that
all merchants, business houses, and
manufacturing concerns, who intend
making displays notify him at once
and state the amount of space that
they will require. Applications are
coming in rapidly for space among
the exhibits and unless exhibitors
hurry in their applications they will
be forced to seek other places for their
work.
Arrangements are being made to
erect small tents for the overflow ex-
hibt, it now appearing that there will
be more exhibits than the regular
space allowed for them can accommo-
date. This is one indication of the
rapidity with which the applications
have been coming in since the first an
nouncement of the Fair With the
publication of the premium list there
will no doubt be a still greater rush
and what space is remaining will be
soon taken. The management is anx-
ious that the Savannah merchants and
business men send in their applica-
tion before the best spaces have been
let out to outside parties.
One object of the Fair.
Zone object of the fair" said one
of the directors yesterday, lis to show
what SaVannahians are doing what
f7nafhn6G thpV uGinQ and what a
the results of their work. We hope to
be able to bring out, by an unpreju-
diced comparison of methods and re-
suits, ways in which we can improve
the results that we are now getting
by improving our methods. If there
is a large exhibit, as l have every in
dication that there will be, these re-
suits will be all the more satisfactory
and all the more beneficial to all
classes.
Another object is to bring the work
of Savannah before the people of the
state, a thing which is bound to result
Thousands of people will flock into the
city from all points in Georgia and
from neighboring states, and good
exhibit is bound to make an impression.
This will inevitably rebound to the adj
vantage of the Savannah merchant.
AS a means of advertising what we
are doing in Savannah and what excel
lent results we are obtaining from the
methods in force. the fair is a matter
which will stand almost unequalled.
AS the entire arrangements are being
made with a view to benefiting the
people of Savannah, we feel that we
are perfectly justified in calling upon
them for their support. Thus far they
have given us their most hearty sup
port and encoura cement, and all that
we ask is that they help swell the ex-
hibits, and do what they can to ad-
vertise it thoroughly.
correspondence With Free Attract
ions"
General Manager Saussy is having
considerable correspondence with the
big attractions throughout the eoun-
try which will be put on at Savannah
for the free amusement OF the people.
All of these performers require large
amounts of money for their work and
this feature alone will be an item of
heavy expense. No admission will be
charged for them, however. beyond the
simple admission at the gate to the
Fair Grounds.
No definite arrangements have as
yet been made with any of the at
fractions. Manager Saussy preferring
to wait until after he has visited sew
eral of the Georgia fairs and gained
absolute knowledge concerning the
value of many of them. Among those
with whom correspondence has begun
oit NhNiNiiiNs TIC 1oiNhNAN
Family, and Legare. All of these at
fractions are of unusually high merit.
Melville is the owner of several start
ling performers and some illusions.
The Beckett family are aerial perform
ers and their work has met universal
approval wherever they have been. Lee
gare is a performer of one of the
most daring feats ever attempted,
walking up a long, high spiral incline
on a ball, then turning, and slowly
descending This is one of the most
spectacular feats now being per-
formed.
other Work Moving Along Rapidly.
All work connected with the fair is
moving along rapidly. Both Manager
Saussy Secretary Doyle, and Assistant
Secretary Hitzfeld, have been busy
