A Genera, Kush of Visitors To-Day.
Third Day.

each article brought IN for exhibition pur-
poses. One of the gratifying indications yes
terday, and which is an infallible harbinger
of future full attendance, was the presence
of so many ladies who grace the Exposition
with their presence, outlying the beauties
of the flowers and the interest in the ma
chinery and in attractions SURPRISING them
all. We noticed also a number of gentls-
men there, distinguished in politics, in
the ield and in invention, and whose
regulations are not confined to the limits
of this State alone, and whose influence is
expansive az the whole country. Among
these were Judges, Generals, Editors, Sci
entiic men, Africans, Capitalists, NstuY-
alists and others, all Of whom felt a COM
mendable pride in the SUCCESS Of the en-
terprise 80 eminently calculated for the
benefit of ell, to the detIima ant of none.
THE GENERAL INTEREST.
As indicated in our report Of yesterday,
there we're large arrivals from different sec
tons of the country the evening previous,
and the morning trains brought additional
numbers. The rainfall Of the previous
day had made the atmosphere somewhat
damp aud humid, but otherwise produced
no special drawback 20 the general inter-
est and success of tie occasion. At
the hour of opening, from the various ho-
tells, crowded the night before, streams Of
expectaut visitors were making their way
to the Exposition, which continued to swell
without dimInution till tho building was
quite a scene Of life and animation. The
commingling together of so many of our
own citizens, surrounded with the trophies
of their industrial triumphs, formed q re-
freshing and gratifying spectacle, and The
appreciation Of the success by visitors from
abroad was manifest and unmistakable,
TO THE MANAGERS, GREETING.
We fully participated in tie bouyant
feelings of the Managers over their SUCCESS
the seal of which YVES Enthusiastically fixed
yesterday. If ever men deserved the full
NEED OF praise for the most unt rng and
ind .fatigible efforts in behalf of the sue
cess of an enterprise, the Board Of Mana
gers of the Exposition and the officers do
From first to last, through all the ramifi-
cations of the enterprise to its present
proportions, each and every one of them
has been efficient, affable, courteous end
energetic in promoting its success. At
the sacrifice Of their individual interests
and time, they have thrown their eoergies
into the enterprise. This, combined with
the spirited iberslity Of our people, has
brought about the satisfactory results We
see from day TO day. Yesterday they were
busy as beavers 10 their respective depsrt-
ments and official capacities, and our citi-
zens will not soon forget them for the zeal
and disinterestedness they have exhibited.
THE BAND AND MUSIC.
