which Nero is said to have offered
heavy reward. They had no industrial
expeditions in the old Roman days. Not
only citizens from the country take
great interest in the Exposition, but our
own citizens can be seen there night after
night. The great display Of industsy
and art, and the small sum which is
charged for admission, creates the de-
sire to attend, and gives all an opportun-
ity to enjoy themselves in delightful
manner, unknown heretofore in Mem
phis. Over two thousand people attended
last evening and promenaded the halls
and galleries, keeping time to the music
Of DeLueca's string band. That the
Exposition is to close with a masquerade
ball has been decided upon by the Board
of Directors. A committee composed Of
Messrs. +. s. Davis, N. NJ. Jones and S.
B. Robbins was appointed yesterday for
the purpose of making the necessary
arrangements for the fete. Ii will prob
ably be held on the 10th inst, so that
ample time is afforded to get up cos
tunes, etc. The Exposition was well
conceived, ably executed, and to day it
stands monument to the enterprise
and energy Of our philosophical citi-

COTTON cULTIvAToRs AND WAGONS. q
In the Power Hall cotton cultivator
of new and approved pattern has been
placed on exposition by Messrs. Roush
4 Cunningham, wagon-makers, at, the
corner Of Monroe and Fourth steets,
The cullivator attracts the attention OF
all planters visiting our city, and will,
no doubt, come into general use next
season in this and the adjoining States
among the cotton culturists. Roush \
Cunningham have also on exhibition a
top grocery wagon, q substantial and
attractive piece Of haDdiwork, and a
|N
coal cart from the same establishment,
manufactured for that well known coal
man Andy Stein. The work turned out
from this mandatory cannot be excelled
in any city. Memphis mechanics are
spreading themselves on work, and seem
determined TO get it up in a style far
above all successful competition. In
this laudable enterprise Roush 4 Gun
ningham have rendered valuable aid
and assistance. Having in their smploy
frst-class workmen, they pride them
selves on the character of the work
turned out from their shops. We are
pleased to sec this, and recommend this
establishment TO our citizens generally
and to all strangers visiting the great
Exposition. The handiwork Of Roush 4
Cunningham can be found in the Power
Hall and on the east side Of the main
hall, near the Court street entrance to
the Exposition building.
Mr.. Levy, the ever obliging and &C.
commodating professor of the CHECKER
ing piano and tumbleronicon, attracts
aud holds an audience continually
around the "Chickering" corner. Mas
ter Leo Kremer plays the piano and Mr..
Levy makes music on the glass goblets,
the people stare and look pleased,
and Hollenbergs musical display be-
comes attractive. TX .fth
zoe yll ITEMS OF INTEREST. Ya4,'
There are some people who are al
ways interested in the useful and do not
give up all their time to the ornamental.
Such as these, while admiring the highly
ornamental display Of Messrs Fl. Wet
ter & Co., afNos. IS and 10 Monroe
street, dot5t forget to examine the
merits Of such stoves as the Champion
and Monitor. The result of such exam
nations is always satisfactory.
THE DAILY EXPOSITION,
published by Messrs. r. c. Hite 4 Co.,
is printed by the LEDGER press, and dis

Expedition building. II contains the
