THE AFTERNOONS ATTENDANCE
though not so large as that of the morning was
quite good, the visitors enj0ing themselves very
much, among the attractive articles on exhibit

very fine
BOUQUET OF FEATHER FLOWERS
which were made by an old lady named Mrs
Ada Quick. The bouquet is made from eighteen
different birds and represent great variety OF
flowers and roses, too many in fact to be men,
toned in this connection. Their appearance is
quite natural and the workmanship is of a super
i0r art character. What is R9st remarkable is
that the old lady who made this bouquet is now
in her sixtieth year and has not been able, on
account of rheumatic affection to walk for ten
years past; the muscles of her hand are SO con-
tracted by disease that she is unable to use them
freely and yetshe was occupied only three months
in perfecting the flowers, which are in a neat
case and should be seen by every one. The
bouquet is on one OF the gallery columns near the
candy cases. One of the most attractive inven-
tons on exhibition is
BLACKMAN's MILITARY WHEEL.
This new and very valuable improvement was
invented By our enterprising young friend A. i.
No. 81 south Summer street. 1t is the most per-
feet, simple and durable wheel that we have ever
seen. 1t is just patented and being on exhibition
must be seen to be appreciated.
APIARIAN DEPARTMENT.
We are glad to learn that the apiarian interests
are not neglected among the thousands of others
that are so largely represented here. Messrs.
Owen and Todd, Of Brentwood have on exhibit
ton fifteen or more hives contributed by various
parties These hives are all of different patents.
Either of these gentlemen is always present and
takes pleasure in giving all desired information
free Of charge respecting the culture of bees.
Our country friends should avail themselves of
this lberality and acquire sufficient information
to conduct apiaries for themselves. This is an
interest too much neglected in Tennessee; every
farmer could enjoy the benefits and have the
luxury resulting from apiaries If he but devoted
One-tenth of the time and attention bestowed on
other matters of less profitable character. 1t
is to be hoped that every home which has a
flower or a wild rose Of the field will soon learn
to raise bees and enjoy the luxury offered by
their product

Despite the melancholy publicity given the
cOurtship which was carried on some time since
at the Exposition, there are others who seek this
place for declaration of the hearts most cher
ished feelings. While strolling around the gale

whose words were little funny; for says John

Among the many placards and dodgers to be
seen at the Exposition, are those of NJ. Venable S

up and will do You good" Among the many
visitors to be seen at the Exposition are at times

noon, some mischeiyOus chap tackled one Of these
placards to the dolly warden Of an old cOlored
WOman's dress. She hustled around considerably
proving greater attraction than any other artf-
Gle on exhibition. She never seemed to find out
chow come all dem men and folks viewed her
SELF so strangely.

The attendance was both from the country and

AFooT RACE.
The fine speed made by two young ladies down
Vine street in order to escape the pressure of a
large crowd, was quite as amusing to q number
young ladies made good time, reminding one
somewhat of the maid of antiquity who won her
races by throwing golden apples on the ground,
thereby causing her competitors to stop and pick
them up. This is an exercise that is healthy and
should be encouraged.
