Immense Attendance Last Might
New Attractions Appearing Each
Day.
The Exposition was crowded last eve.
ming to excess. It was with some diff
Guilty that progress could be made in the
vast hall below or in the galleries above.
The ladies turned out in force and added
no uncomfortable charm to the scene.
Where the ladies' are there will you find
the men also, is trite saying, and true
as trite. The Power Hall, outside the
building, west side, is beginning TO show
up we'll. Engines and power machinery
are crowded in, and are being properly
arranged. This is a very attractive part
Of the Exposition. In all the depart
ments Of industry splendid display has
been made by our merchants, mechan-
les and manufacturers. Adjoining the
LEDGER steam printing press is a broom
factory, and it is a curiosity. An odd
looking machine is presided over by a
boy, Isaiah Moore. Isaiah made the
machine, has worked at the trade six
months, and can make sixty brooms per
day. To see broom made in few
minutes is indeed a curiosity.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Music, with all its charms, can be dis
covered onthe gallery Immediately above
the LEDGER steam press. At this point
is located the elegant stand Of that we'll
known and popular music dealer, e. A.
Benson, whose large establishment at
No. 3l7 Main street, near Monroe, is so
famous for musical instruments. Ben
son has added materially to the solid at
fractions of the Exposition. His stand
has been arranged with taste. Musical
instruments and musical merchandise
are here in profusion, and so arranged
as to form q most pleasing picture to the
eye of every observer. In the piano line
Benson has ever been in the lead. The
celebrated instrument known as Benson
& Co.'s piano and ose'known as Vose
q Sons, Gabler, Steinway l. Sons, can
be purchased at reasonable rates at Ben
sons agency. The instruments on ex-
hibition are much admired by amateurs
and professionals. Their power and
sweetness of tone, durability and supe-
riority were generally noticed by visit
ors. During each day and evening Prof.
Carl Meyer will preside at the pianos
and food the vast building with rich
strains of music. Do not fail to stop at
Benson's music stand this evening and
listen to music most attractive and en-
trancing. Go to Benson's Wholesale
music house and piano-forte warerooms,
on Main street, for everything in the
musical line. Country merchants,
schools and seminaries can make most
profitable arrangements with Mr.. Benson
for pianos, Mason & Hamlin organs,
sheet music and musical merchandise.
COOKING AND HEATING STOVES.
On the east side of the great hall, not
far from the fountain, there is fine dis
play of stoves and tiDware from the
house Of Wetter & Co., Nos. 10 and Is
Monroe street. Here can be found the
celebrated Champion Stove, the Mont
tor, the Ranger and the Furnace, articles
well-known by housewives as the most
useful inventions of the age. Now is
the time to purchase cooking and heat
ing stoves, and the great question is
where can the best be found2" Go and
look at the display above mentioned and
the answer will come immediately AT
Wetter & Co. establishment on Monroe
street." If you want stoves or tinware
there is the place to get the best.
