THE ExpOSITION.


Of attending the Industrial Exposition.
The building is crowded during the day,
and at night it is almost impossible to
get through the surging crowds that
block up the avenues and galleries. Last
evening the Board Of Directors decided
to keep the Exposition open for another
week, until Friday, the I'D inst. This
will give the country people an sppor-
tunity to attend and enjoy the great DIS
play.
A week after the closing the grand
masquerade ball comes Off Expectation
is on tip-toe over this affair, and hun
dreds Of our citizens will attend, not
only as spectators but as maskers. At
the Exposition tonight the Tyrolean
warblers and vocalists will appear in full
costume ard sing the national songs Of
the Tyrol.
BEAUTIFUL JEwELRY.
A beautiful lot OF silverware goods and
rich jewelry, from the house OF W. G..
Byrd, No. 275 Main street, has attracted
ne little attention during the progress Of
the Exposition. Mr.. Byrd is one Of our
leading jewellers, and at his Main street
establishment has splendid stock Of
watches, silverware and jewelry. These
goods are beautiful in the extreme, COM
piising everything in the latest styles
and of most artistic workmanship. A
visit to ,his popular establishment will
convince anyone that the stock is first
class in every respect. Strangers visit
ing the Exposition will find it TO their
interest to purchase whatever they may
need in this line at Byrds. A more
complete and better selected stock Of
jewelry goods cannot be found in the
city, nor, indeed, is it excelled by the
stocks in Eastern cities.
MORE MUSIC.
Our reporter visited L. A. Benson's
music parlor at the Exposition last
night. 1t is located on the west gallery,
Immediately above the LEDGER press. A
crowd of ladies surrounded the fine
pianos, from which the sweetest music
aoated on the air. The celebrated Ben
son & Co. pianos were presided over by
Mr.. Moxter and Prof. Mayer, both ac-
ooc,pl,eboJ ,nra.a.aua oharn,;no
duet played by them last night at
attracted all attention. By the way, it
is to the Professor that numbers Of our
citizens were indebted for that musical
treat last Sunday, at st. Bridget's
church, when the Professor was assisted
by the Tyrolean troupe of vocalists,
lead by the director, Mr.. Gschwandner.
Mr.. Benson's stock of musical instru-
ments and musical merchandise at No.
3l7 Main street, between Union and
Monroe, is complete in every respect,
being the largest in. the city.
BEAUTIFUL CARPETS, ETC.
On the west gallery, near the north
end, the display OF carpets and furniture
made by Messrs. Bryson Il Camp isper-
feet in all respects. The carpets are Of
the richest huos and finest quality. Not
only are American carpets on exhibition,
butthe costliest from the Turkish, French
and English markets can here be found.
These splendid goods are generally ad-
mired by all visitors. Ladies linger
around the spot and vie with each other
in expressing the greatest admiration
at the general display. Messrs. Bryson
& Camps establishment at No. 22S
Main street, between Jefferson and
Adams, is one of the largest in the city.
1t is filled with ell kinds of furniture,
carpets and general house-furnishing
goods. 1t is one of the oldest houses in
the city and is almost universally known
throughout the Southern country,
through which its trade extends in all
directions. Parties desiring to make
purchases ofanything in the above lines
will consult their own interest by deal
ing at this popular house.
BOOTS AND SHOES.
A show. case filled with ladies' boots
and shoes on the east gallery causes
many promenader to stop and gaze
upon the beautiful workmanship so
temptingly displayed. The case is from
the we'll known house Of II. Harder, No
245 Main street (Goyer block, near JEFF
ferson. Mr.. Harder has made quite
reputation in our city as fashionable
boot and shoe maker. There are but
few OF our bellies who do not step into
work manufactured by him. So true is
this that not to wear Harder's boots or
shoes is almost to be out of the fashion.
Strangers visiting our city should go
to Harder's Immediately and make pur-
chases. There you can get the best ar
ticle, an elegant fit and fashionable
boot or shoe three most important
things to be considered.
HowARD's CONFECTIONERY.
Charley Towards elegant stock Of
candies and confectionery in the south
east corner Of the Exposition building
attracts the ladies who desire refresh
ments. Our reporter discovered several
charming bouquets on the show cases
last evening. Charley informed our
representative that he was indebted to
the young ladies of St. Agnes Academy
and to Mrs. DR.. Peters for these floral
offerings, and desired us to express his
thanks for the same. Another elegant
bouquet was sent to him last Monday by
some mysterious snd unknown donor.
1t contains the rarest flowers, elegantly
arranged, and for them Charley expresses
his deepest gratitude. Visitors to the
Exposition should not forget Towards
