ton Of every lady visitor in the hall. But
THE PICTURE, IN EMBROIDERY,
representing q scene from shakespsare's
Henry VIII, "Queen Catharine's inter.
view with Cardinal Wolsey," seems to us
to be the feature Of this portion of the
hall. 1t Is q really artistic work, superior
in expression and coloring to many oil
paintings, and Mira. Hughes, to whom the
admirers Of the picture sre indebted for
their pleasure, has certainly shown her.
self an artist in its production.
ALADY sIxTY-oNR YEARS OLD
exhibits several specimens of her skill
with the needle. A plated silk quilt,
novel in design and elaborate with stitch
ing, and a pair of pillow-slips tastefully
embroidered, give evidence that though
past three-sc0re, she has lost none OF her
skill or industry. A number Of
ARTICLES OF BEAD-woRK,
such as pin~-cushions, watch-pocketE, etc,
abound on this part of the table-a pin
cushion in Berlin wool being notably
prominent among the rest. White quilts,
counterpanes, infants closaing and the
like abound in p~rofusion. a roll of rag
carpet gives notice that our Shelby county
housewives are not dependent upon for
eign looms for floor covering. Several
pairs of excellently well-msde hand-knit-
ted half hose and stockings are from the
same busy hands that made and wove the
carpet. Miss Mary E. Dulin has on exhi-
bition some well executed pieces Of tat
ting, crochet-work, and embroidery -
cotton. Up to a lato hour last evening,
parties were bus:ly engaged in arranging
articles for exhibition, and visitors will
find the attractions in this hall to-day far
greater than on yesterday.
POWER HALL
is becoming crowded with cotton gins,
plOws, wagons, etc. Besides the cotton
gins spoken of in the SUNDAY APPEAL,
there are two others not in place yet. The
work of arranging them, fitting betting,
etc., will be finished to-day. Steam was
raised on the new engine yesterday, and
1t is hardly necessary TO say that she
works like q charm. The employees at the
Memphis and Charleston shop may well
be proud Of their success, and If any one
desires to secure an engine first-cless in
every respect, it would be well for him to
make an offer to Mr.. Burke, for this "'pet
Of the shop" is to be sold before or at the
close of the exhibition. The
DEFRINe HORSE POWER,
for driving cotton-gins, mills. and the
like, will be ready for exhibition near
power hall today. This machine is to be
presented to the association, and sold for
its benefit. In the rear of the hall, and
near the engine, is a pump of peculiar
construction, having no valves, the vacu-
um being created by simply turning on
steam, A force and lift pump, and q boil
e~r-feeder, both worked by steam, were in
operation, and seemed TO meet the sp-
proVal of these versed in such matters.

press wagon, Memphis made, speaks well
for our mechanics in this line. The body
