HASTINGS ELATED
OVER FAIR PROGRAM

After months of diligent and siren
uous preparations, officials OF the
Southeastern Fair association are
prepared to open the great southern
exposition of 1921 on October IS. In
statement issued by H. G. Hast
ings, president of the fair associa-
ton, description is given of the
activities and exhibits of the COM
ing fair. Mr.. Hastings declares that
every department has been developed
to scope much larger than ever be-
fore. His statement follows:
at is with pride that we look
ahead to the 1921 exhibition Of the
Southeastern fair. After eight
months of arduous work we have
planned an outdoor venture which
should shatter all previous records
for immensely of the exposition and
the quality of inspirational and edu-
catioEal displays to be presented.
Every department has been de-
veloped to scope larger than ever
before. Every part of the great fair
grounds is undergoing sweeping
changes. To make the 1921 fair
bigger, better and more attractive
has been our sole aim.
I'VE can give assurance that the
exposition buildings will carry more
splendor than in any previous year
in our history. The cash prizes for
the most meritorious exhibits in all
departments have been increased to
q point which will attract many ad'
ditionai displays.
The cattle, poultry and sheep and
other live stock exhibits will be
of a character unsurpassed. The
boys and girls club work will be
a great feature. Already representa-
tiVeS from more than dozen states
have entered the international club
judging contest, which promises
larger entry list and more keen COM
petition than ever before.
The Boys Fair school will again
offer the boys of Georgia and sur
rounding states a wonderful oppor-
tunity to study the many different
breeds of live stock and the
through lectures and demonstrations
held in connection with the national
hog and cattle show and the inter-
national club stock judging contest.
''These varied departments will
make for an educational exhibition
dom.
Now for the entertainment fea-
lures of the 1921 program. We have
effected arrangements for the most
delightful performance ever held in
front of the huge grandsEand at
Lakewood. Here all sorts and char
acters of performers will disport
themselves for the edification of the
thousands of fair visitors.
1.-THE speed program this year will
achieve new records. By offering
increased purses we have been able
to add to our entry lists the grand
circuits greatest horses. You will
without a doubt find the 1921 race
program the greatest exhibition OF
horse racing even seen in Atlanta.
Automobile racing will be anoth-
er exceptional feature this year,
with the worlds greatest and most
daring speed pilots, and the auto
polo contests, which have proved SO
popular in the past, will be repeated
on even more extensive scale. More
sensations than ever before are as
sured. -,
1.-The fireworks program will be
the most elaborate ever seen at the
Southeastern fair, and a display Will
be fired each night. Thousands OF
dollars will go up in a mammoth
pyrotechnic spectacle for the pleas
ure and delight of the fair visitors.
This is merely brief outline OF
what may be expected in more I'M
portant features of the great l92l
program. Of course there are other
details which cannot be completed
until within a few days of the fair,
but we are in a position to assume
that the 1921 Southeastern fair will |
be an epochal event in the history |
of American fairdom--a national in
