Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-10-24

The gloomy weather having at length
vented It's spite and vern itself out
night before last took a departure for &
few days, and yesterday morning the
sun rose in 9 clear sky. The air was
still, and Just cool enough to make the
blood tingls a little and move the more
briskly through the veins. At IN early
hour the Old Memphis City Band was
| heard in the streets inviting the people
with its melodiOUs strains to take a trip
| out to the Fair grounds, and many q one
accented the invitation-not less than
| fifteen hundred persons going out during
the day.
AS the public have been made aware,
| the programme of Tuesday, had been
| postponed on account of the inclemency
Of the weather until yesterday. and the
duties OF the day were therefore mostly
those of opening day, although it was
but q supplementary day.
There were but few, if any additions TO
the articles on exhibition still, in the
imperfect manner in which the reporters
have been Obliged to take the entries,
something new is bound to strike them
each day. It was the duty of the re-
cording secretary of the Association, or
bis assistant, TO have furnished the pa
pers with 8 list of each dsy's entries, ss
they were recorded on his books. For a
reporter TO attempt TO go TO work and
take a list OF them, by what is displayed,
is q task that few have the taste and
nome the time for. This Is q matter that
we hope the Society will attend to mex
time.
Among those articles that have hith-
erto escaped our attention, is an in
dependent hand loom, manufactured
by G. Unversagt, and exhibited by VIM.
Rodgers, Agent, of 30S Second street,
MenphiS It is a really wonderful piece
OF mechanism, run with one-hslf the
machinery, and taking less than half
the power to operate it, Of any other
hand Dom known to US. Mr.. Rodgers
Wove q piece Of cloth with it en- the
grounds, and showed practically that 1t
Is all that the inventor claims for it-thst
it is the best hand loom in existence.
Close by tais, and in operation, Is the
automatic clothes washer, or s~elfacting
washing machine. This little scientific
apparatus hiss bsen described before in
the columns Of the APPEAL, and is
without doubt the beet invention Of the
sort ever brought before the public. II

slant stream of hot suds upon the goods
to be washed. 1t clsanses all articles
with astonishing rspidity, from a cambria
handkerchief up to q large blanket with
a particle of rubbing. Il attracted g
deal Of attention from the house
keepers especially. In the 1Jrsl hall
the display IVES the same IS already de-
Many of the boquets and
remaining as fresh, almost, as
the fast day OF the exhibition. A
bouquet OF dshiias, displayed by Mrs.
Rsyner, especially looked most magnif-
3snt and beautiful.
