It kept busy all that dry and until II
o'clock Tuesday morning, at which
time the hall had been pretty well
T. filled with articles. The doors OF
y the hall were closed at u o'clock
= Tuesday to be open at o'clock for
: the admission of visitors. At the
e appointed time the band struck ND
I a thrilling march and the doors were
thrown open. The extreme heat of
the weather prevented a very large
attendance Immediately, but as the
feTening advanced the audience grew
], larger, and by evening the hall was
,. pretty well filed. We wilt endeavor
: to be concise, and though we cannot
make special mention of all the ar
ticles on exhibition, we will conduct
the reader through the building and
point out in general terms the many
interesting features of the exhibit
ton. The first thing that greets the
eye of the'beholder as he enters to
the right is the display of pictures
made by Mr.. T.,W. York, the artist
of Pulaski. He has many fine spe-
cimens of his skill in that line, en-
bracing all kinds of pictures and of
all sizes. The display is beautiful |
and is one of the remarkable fea-
lures. We next come to the tablet
upon which is fitly arranged garden
prcduptslof all kinds, and one finds
opportunity to admire the beauty
of those things which constitute
the daily living of all at this season,
and which are as palatable as they
are beautiful. Watermelons weighing
from % to So pounds, beets, cante-
lopes, pumpkins, &C, the largest we
ever saw. Mr.. Mel Patterson contri- l.
buted an Orange watermelon, which
attracted considerable attention.
As we proceed here, and in fact the
whole round of the building, we see
suspended from the walls some of
che most magnificent pictures,
drawings, paintings and chromos
ever gathered together in Pulaski. (
Some of them are paintings execu-
ted by some Of our young ladies and t
all are wonderfully beautiful. Pass {
ing on to the next table we see ano-
ther display Of vegetables and field t
products, interspersed with other Z
articles Of interest. Suspended from t
the wall and enciIcled in n wreath
of evergreens is a glass case con- c
tanning a Farmer Wreath" made t
by Misses. Redus, of Elkton. 1t f
is pronounced by all who have seen e
it to be the most beautiful and ar v
tistic design ever seen. It represents
a wreath of flowers and is entirely
of seeds Of different kinds
and colors, worked together with L
the most consummate skill. A beau 4
tifuI case of wines by Mr.. MOusson .
finishes that side Of the building Il
and we cross over to see the won i
lroas collection of natural curiosi u
Ties of DR. J. Frank Grant. They a
articles too numerous to Il
and we direct all to that n
part of the building to see one of Il
he features Of the Exposition. 81
NIessrs. Paul & TaveI have a coilec-
ion Of blank books, put on exhibit
ion by Mr. Jimmie Mitchell, eff =;
hat house. The next is the display g
IF books, pictures, &c, made by the 81
Pulaski Rock store. The next spe- :,
,iaI object is the case of samples of :,
1900 gallons of wine made at Mr.. -
Cox's vineyard, vintage Of 1871. -,
The display of wines in the case is :,
beautiful, and the case itself is sur =
by handsome picture re- -
"Bachus in America" /;
We cannot attempt to mention Sc
the many varieties of ap-
Pies, peaches, pears, plums, grapes,
&c. They cover two of the large 81
enter tables and two of the side E
;ables, and the whole constitutes so
me of the prettiest sights we ever tn
Jaw. This IS the gtahdest feature ii:
If the exhibition aud has TO be seen VI
o be appreciated. The last table of
n the center is devoted to wines, m
enies, pickles, &c, and the sight of US
hem viii inspire a desire to test pl
hem, and furnish food for the uI
raises that are ever ready to gush in
orth of the skill and taste of the II
.dies, who alone contribute to this tiT
apartment. Late in the evening Of
Irs. J. B. Stacy brought in some pc
pecimens of peaches. called the st.
Iichael Seeding. They were by
II the finest and most luscious
,oking peaches we ever saw. A u
cry handsome sight is the display -
{ vases brought in from Mr.. Win 'I ~.
lip's jewelry store. 'N'
We will conduct our readers into
