The Exposition.

The interior Of this mammoth building
erected by the munifcence of our citizens
for the display of the manufactures, me-
chanics, minerals, arts, ETC., Of our State,
is rapidly receiving the finishing touches
| from the def hands of the 'fresooers, "
and will be completed tomorrow. A view
from the superb music gallery is grand and
imposing, and testifies in the strongest
manner to the taste of the architect, and
the efficiency of the builder in SO clearly
developing his design.
The Builders Display Room" viii be a
novel feature in the Exposition, and
although quite "French-y" in conception,
| it will prove in the hands of the intelligent
chairman of the Committee On Clsssi6cs-
ton with whom it is pet) most decided
success. The grand fountain, with several
smaller ones, We learn wills at once be
| placed in position and the whole building
will tomorrow be turned over to the Deco
rating Committee and the Committee on
Classification and Arrangements. This
latter committee is one Of arduous du les,
and it is especially desired to facilitate
their labors, that persons who wish space
in the building will at once make applica-
ton for the same and not defer it until the
last moment, so that all may have de-
sirsble locations for such articles or ma
cdinery as they propose to exhibit.
The most thorough and complete ar
rangements have been effected throughout
the entire country for half fare rates for
visitors to The Exposition, and from the
| present outlook, wefeel sure the attendance
will be immense during the entire con-
tinuancs, and thereby giving to our manu-
facturers, artisans, artists, etc, an oppor-
tunity for displaying the resources of our
State in their various departments such as
| they have never had before; and we are
confident they will take advantage of the
occasion and make an exhibition more in
terestiDg and imposing in all Of its details
than was ever held south of the Ohio river
