OTHER ATTRACTIONS,

Rev. H. G. Sedgwick, with his large Equatorial Telescope, will be present during the Assembly, and accommodate all who wish to study the heavens. Season Ticket holders will be charged nothing for an observation.

The Sunday School Supply Tent will enable all to know the latest and best appliances for work.

Copies of the Cantata Choruses, to be used at the Assembly, will be furnished free to competent singers who expect to join the Assembly Chores, and who apply at once. Persons accepted by the lenders of sub-choruses, or by the Director, or his Assistant, as having sufficient musical skill for the work, and who agree to be present at the rehearsals and public musical exercises of the Assembly, will be entitled to Season Tickets free. These Chorus Tickets are not transferable; and three unexcused absences from chorus-work will forfeit the ticket. It is requested that the names of all who expect to join the Assembly Chorus, with the statement of the part they sing, be reported to Rev. E. L. Eaton, as soon as possible.

It is proper to state that Gov. Colquitt, on account of his official duties is not able to make a positive engagement to be here, but hopes and expects to address the Assembly, August 2 and 4.

ADMISSION TO THE GROUNDS.

The fee for a single admission will be 25 cents. Should the holder of a single admission ticket remain on the grounds longer than the day on which he purchased his ticket, he will be required to pay 25 cents for each day he is on the grounds.

Season tickets not transferable, will be sold for $1.50. Stockholders' tickets to the holders of full paid stock only, will be $1 and will be transferable to any member of his own immediate family. Only one member of the family can be on the grounds at the same time on a Stockholder's ticket. Each stockholder will have the privilege of purchasing as many tickets for one dollar each as he has shares of full paid stock, subject to the condition above stated.

Children under 14, coming with their parents, or with their teachers on children's days will be admitted free.

The grounds will not be open for admission on Sunday. Those holding Season tickets wishing to attend the Sunday service must be in camp by Saturday evening.

While a full and complete programme for instruction and entertainment has been provided, it is expected that those who attend will take ample time for rest and recreation. They can select from the programme the exercises they will attend. Abundant provision will be made for those who wish to enjoy boating, fishing, bathing, &c.

BOARD ON THE GROUNDS, AND ELSEWHERE.

Those who wish to board on the grounds can be supplied with good meals at 25 cents each. A lunch counter or restaurant will furnish such articles as may be wanted by those who do not wish a regular meal.

Persons coming with teams can procure hay and oats on the grounds.

Prices for all articles sold, and for all services rendered, for bathing, rent of boats, steamboat fares, &c., will be regulated by the officers of the Assembly, so that no one need fear being imposed upon by unreasonable charges.

Reduced rates can be had at the city hotels and boarding houses by those who wish to lodge or take part of their meals in the city.

To those who wish to board themselves, the nearness of the city markets and stores will afford every facility.

Those who bring their own tents and bedding, and cooking implements, will find the expense of living very small.
