MORE ART ATTRACTIONS.
Many very beautiful and meritorious
works of art have recently been added to
this department Of the Exposition. But
since pictures have come to be the inmates
of almost every house in the land, and
the aesthetic taste of the masses is becoming
cultivated more and more as the improve
ments in picture making progress, we think
it useless, almost, to particularize many of
the works which from their striking beau
ties cannot fail to attract the scrutiny of all
art lovers who visit the Exposition. Some of
the portraits of children are among the most
beautiful we ever remember to have seen;
yet the major portion of them are emphati-
Cally "Sunday portraits" since they repre-
sent their respective subjects in full Sab
bath attire and not in their normal state of
rolhcking, wild and dust-eoVered school
day dress and attitude. What contrast
between these portraits and that of Whit
tiers "Boy," the embodiment of all we IN
derstand by the term, and the character
from whom Olive Logan drew her inimita-
BILE pen portrait Of the uneonquerable en-
FAINT terrible.
At Davies Bros stand is displayed a
unique working model of
A SIDE-WHEEL STEAMER,
bearing upon the sides of the warehouses
the catch-Word of the day, ''DolIy Varden.''
The model is one of rare merit, as an in
spection will demonstrate, since no part of
the upper and deck works of such vessel
are to be missed upon it. 1t appeared to be
quite novelty to many, and was the object
of no little attention.
GREELEY HATS.
The evening saw the appearance among
the hats of visitors several of those un-
mistakable ''l0bite hats" which are world
1gide in their reputation as being the char
scteristic tile of the 'fsage of Chappa-
qna". Whether the donning of these
hats is to be considered as a committal to
the Greeley ticket or not, we cannot say,
but one thing we do know, that for young
man of eighteen years to sport a 'Greeley
hat" which rises to the height of six inches
above his head and appears to have seri-
Gus intention of dropping over bis ears and
hiding face which looks anything like
that of she learned doctor and philosopher
of the Tribune, is decidedly NAL GprOpOS.
Dolly Warden stands in a fair way to be
eclipsed by the growing popularity of the
"Greeley cry" Ladies, stand up for Dolly,
or H. G. will crowd her out.
STEAM Up.
The vast mechanical department is being
constantly improved by some new addition
to its already interesting features, and is in
full operation. The steam printing press
Of the
UNION AND AMERICAN
commences operation every afternoon, and
attracts much attention from the visitors,
most of whom are subscribers to the s'Peo-
ple's." The Exposition edition of the
UNION AND AMERICAN is devoted especi-
ally to advertising and news of public inter-
est, while it always contains the fullest and
most complete daily descriptions of the Ex-
position and the various attractive features
of this grand Industrial Enterprise.
WAITS WATER REGULATOR,
invented by Mr.. VIM. Wyatt of this city,
has been pat on each of the large boilers
used for power in the Exposition. They
have also been attached by Mr.. Wood to
the steam pumps which supply the boilers
and work with satisfaction. In fact there
is nothing more required to keep an even
supply in the boilers. Persons interested
in such machinery, and who have machin-
cry requiring steam power to operate it can
examine this invention at leisure, one of
them being placed outside of the boiler for
exhibition. The practical engineers and
mocha MICS of this city have thoroughly
tested the regulator and express favorable
opinion as to its merits.
THE FOUNTAIN
has been improved by changing the reversed
Jets into circular sheet of water, which,
after leaving the spout, falls in a number of
streams upon the rocks. The fountain
was very much admired by visitors yester-
day, and another desirable improvement
might be made by placing refectors to the
GAS lights inside of the rock work.
THE MUSIC

appreciated. The following is to-night's
