tors be increased four members and

j. Watson, and Leopold Alder were
chosen.
The report of the chairman of the
canvassing committees was called for.
Mr.. b. H. Levy reported that some
of the sub-committees have not hand
ed in their reports and pledges for
the entire amount desired are not yet
in the hands of the committee. Enough
has been pledged, however, and suf-
ficient additional funds are in sight to
justify the directors in completing
arrangements for the fair. Before the
next meeting pledges for the entire
amount will be in hand.
Immediately after the report of Mr..
Levy a resolution was adopted calling
the fair the Savannah Industrial and
Agricultural Fair. The matter of dates
was then taken up and though MOTH
ing definite can be done until some
thing is learned of the attractions,
TO be secured, it was determined to
hold the fair sometime between Nov.
and Is.
Committee VIII Be Named ut Once.
A resolution was adopted, placing the
appointment of committees for the
Various departments OF the fair in the
hands OF the president of the Racing
Association, and these committees will
be named within a few days. The di-
rectors are anxious that no time be lost
in completing the arrangements, and
as soon as President Moore names the
committees they Will begin their work
In addition to the committees, the
president was authorized TO appoint a
general manager and secretary and

N q 4.
Levy was elected treasurer and Mr.. ;.
L. Theus assistant treasurer. Most OF
the executive work will be left in the
hands of these officers, acting in con-
junction with the president. The COM
mittees having charge of the various
departments will act with the eXecu-
tive officers and will report the progress
of all work to them.
To Go for Big Exhibits.
Every effort will be put forth to make
both the industrial and agricultural ex-
hibits the largest and best that have
ever been seen in South Georgia. me
Premium Committee will be given con-
siderable latitude in order that it may
make the premiums offered large
enough TO attract exhibitors. The
committee will be appointed at once,
and the complete premium list will be
announced within a short time.
Arrangements win be made to Sc
cure an exhibit of all the agricultural
products raised in this section of the
state. Provision will be made for III
viding the exhibits into classes in or
der that the merits of the varieties of
products may be more clearly shown.
No class of farm produce will be bar
red, and it is probable that provision
will also be made for an exhibit of
preserved goods.
The Cattle show.
The cattle and horse exhibit win be
made a feature. There will be exhibits
of dray-horses. driving horses, and
horses for farm use. and the prizes
will be made sufficiently attractive to
bring some of the best animals in the
country. The cattle exhibit will also
be a feature and attractive premiums
will be offered. The poultry will not
be forgotten and every inducement
will be made to secure entries of all
varieties, varying from the Plymouth
Rock to the fancy birds and games. In
fact all farm stock will be arranged
for and the directors are confident that
the list of entries viii be unusually
large and attractive.
In the other depa rtments special ef-
forts will be put forth and many novel
and interesting exhibits will be ar
ranged. The art work will be espe-
clally attractive, and the showings al
home products will be made as large
varied and interesting, as possible.
An effoM will be made to induce
every manufacturer in Savannah tC
make an exhibit of the work which ths
factories are putting on the market
Firms from neighhoring cities will also
be communicated with. and it is hoped
that many of them can be persuade
TO send samples of their work All de.
partments will be carefully looked after
and premiums offered in the majority
OF cases. As many as possible of the
savannah merchants Will also be Sc
cured as exhibitors, and this feature
should prove one of the most interest
ing of the entire fair.
Amusements viii BE Looked After
The amusement feature will not h,
lost sight of. The directors decided
that every effort should be put fortl
TO make this part of the fair one o
the best, both in the number an(
standard of the entertainments Com
munication will be started at once wifi
some of the big tent shows of tn,
country and several of them will b.
given strong inducements to come her,
during fair week. The work of arrang
ing for the shows will be in the hands
of the general manager. and his per
sonal supervision will be given to Sc
curing high class and meritoriou
shows.
The racing will be one of the chic
events. and every effort will be mad,
to make this a drawing feature n,
