by the farmers who we're present in f,rse
on the occasion. The space in the builc-
ing ellotted to L. II Jones & Go. is o1e Cf
the first that attracts unusual attention,
and the new visitors yesterday never
W. aired Of examining and bssto~ing the
Just need of praise upon the various
works of manufacture on exhibition by that
energetic firm. The agricultural imple-
ments, farming utensils, buggy pillow,
Alaska refrigerator, etc we've objects of
SPECIAL notice and encomium. Many favor
able and merited compliments were passed
upon the hams Of Phillips, Hooper & Co.
The laces of Madam Seliz, who has been
awarded more thaa one premium
by fairs, ETC., received the envior q
chances of many bright eyes. Many
were attracted by Hunting scene
designed and executed by Mrs. NJ
W. Wetmore without model or painting.
It is sxquisitely executed and bears un-
mistakable marks of genius. Among the
curious novelties that elicits the invsstiga-
ton of visitors is the Gravity block and
ENGAGEMENT of Thomas I, Baily, which is
q most elaborate continuance OF mechani-
cal akin and ingenuity. Longhurst and
Eekels' photographs form beautiful fea-
ture in the fine art department OF the Ex-
position, as do also the wsxworks OF j..
F. Ingram. The cigar contribution s
of j. ID. Hurst as well as those OF
Rosenheim & Bro. were much admired
and commented upon by those who exam
med the display. The several specimens
of paper exhibited by the Rock City paper
mills were generally observed and pro-
nounced equal to the productions of any
similar establishment in the country. The
fine candies and CONNECTIONS from the es-
tablishment Of Jungermsnn Il Co., were
pronounced equal to any that could be
made.
THE ART PBEsRRvATIvE-
The sue of the extra Expo.
sition edition of the UNION AND
AMERICAN from our power press in
the Building produced increased interes,
Yesterday proportioned to the larger num-
Der Of persons present. AS on the pre-.
ceding day largo crowds gathered around
the press as the UNION AND AMERICAN in
bright and attractive columns was rapidly
thrown off for their perusal. The papers
were gathered and read and scanned with
the livleiest interest, and handed around ss
one of the clearest triumphs OF enterprise,
as well as one Of the most valued contri-
buttons to the Exposition. The opera
tons of power press IN an establishment
to which it appertsins is of great interest to
noviciates in the art and those who have
never witnessed it, but the issuing Of
thousands of we'll filed papers by the hour,
in a home industrial building, is almost
sufficient to reanimate the energies of Gut
tenberg and Faust themselves.
THOSE IN ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY.
The largely increased crowd in attend
ance yesterday was composed in great
measure of the very best end most sub
stantlal citizens of our city and ada
cent country. Men of capital, of in
huence, of merit, moral worth AID char
aoter, were there, proud of the
demonstration indisputable of what
Tennessee industry ard enterprise
could do. Among them We noticed those
who have been foremost in building up
our properties and readiest in aiding to
bear the brunt of QUE darkest perils. They
alike with others wore the smiles of salts
faction, and enjoyed the peaceful sCr-
roundings of our great tabernacle of in
dustry. Mothers, wives and daughters,
too, were there of our best citizens and
population enjoying the occasion and lend
ing grace and cheeIfulness with their
presence.
MANY ARRIVALS IN THE EVENING.
The accession of strangers and visitors
to the city yesterday evsning and last
night, showed that there was no diminu-
ton of interest from abroad, but increased
pride rather. The trains on the several
railroads arriving in the city were laden
with passengers who will be sGjourners
with US for the next few days, and
who will participate with a zest and
G right good will in the attractions
presented. The Louisville and Nashville
train was especially crowded, and all
the others brought goodly numbers. Many
of the passengers are of distinguished
prominence and not unknown to usefulness
and to fame. Among many others of this
class we we're pleased to note Boiling Cor
don and wife, of Hickman county, and Dr.
Wheeler and wife, of Kentucky. Mr.. Cor
don, as an old andvalued citizen, who WIS
member Of our late Oonst tuiional Conven-
ton, and who has taken long, active and
influential part in the expansion and de-
velopment of our State and resources, may
we'll look with species of peternsl pride
upon this glorious enterpr 50 as in part at
least the offspring of his pstriotic labors
THE BUILDING THRoNGED LAST NIGHT.
The large and capacious building was
ietrslly jammed last night with highly
delighted crowd. The thousands Of gas
/ Jets burst upon the beholders, bright as
the sun of mid-noon, and lit up scenery
and surroundings beautiful aud grand as
the patrons of Art or the lovers of Nature
could desire. The silveTy and sparkling
waters from the fountains, the almost
breathing paintings, tie marble wilderness
of the statUaTy, veriegatsd with flower,
bad and blossom, and every variety OF
workmanship, fabric and hsndicraft, en-.
| Gyened with the inspiring tones Of the
band and Inc musical melody of Miss
Winston from the piano conspired to pre-

enchanting. Over 800 tickets of admis-
sion were sold yesterday and last night and
there was not one but who fslt that value
received had been obtained

The hotels were crowded last nj ght but
the inequalities of our citizens Will afford
ample room for all. To-day there viii be

the continuance. The vast ard diversified
attractions are suffi cient to draw the large
crowds that will be drawn hithsr for the
weeks to follow.
In the proper place we omitted to men
ton the excellent and superior articles ot
coOperage OF Mr.. L. Moker and of Daniel
Giliispie, which, in their line are unsur.
passed in the country. Among the innu,
merable articles of interest they cannot
fail to be observed by the thousands o.
visitors who will be there to-day and dur.
ing the week. Every one who can stil
We are sure will be for the Exposition to,
