The total number of entries we're ninety-three,
and near as many more who stayed to put on
pretty looks, were too late TO enter the ring for
competition. The awarding committee used
every possible precaution that fair award should
be made in each class, and now for a few words
in regard TO the several classes!
No. Il, a splendid specimen of under months
of age; greatly admired by all the judges, and if
we do not mistake, we observed some of our
bachelor friends making closer observations in
| the baby line than they have ever done before.
| And some of tue unmarried lady judges we Opine
| know more about babyhOOd than heretofore.
No. 76, handSOmest boy, and perfect beauty
| to be boy. We heard one Ofthe judges, long in
| the business, but without success, ask: Chow
| No. IL Handsomest girl. We know exactly
| how to appreciate, but how can we begin TO de-
scribe the beauty Of the dear little creatures in
| this class.
No 81 Best twins under one year old The en-
tries wera larger in this class than ever before
| known.
No 8. Best twins under two years, and splen-
did they were.
| No. 2. Best twins under three years-perfect
| beauties, and the list of premiums for this class
were very large and valuable. We will say here
| that Gen. Battle exhibited No. ?, and took II
No. Is. NJ. Kean, Esq, with his accustomed
liberality, gave special premium OF twenty dol
lars to these twins whose father was killed short
| time since. May the murderer never meet the
| ewes OF these innocent children.
| No. q. a musical prodigy was awarded file
| guitar, and well deserved the premium.
No. 50 was entered without the fathers knowl-
| edge and the Awarding Committee unanimously
| awarded as a premium the first choice of the EX-
position premiums, and made choice OF the ele-
| cant pitcher and goblet.
| No. 90 was awarded an elegant Willow Rocker
| bv DR.. j. NJ. Bowling.
No. 81, the very finest baby, to our eye, under
| seven months old, was awarded second EXPOSE
| ton premium.
| For the many elegant qualities o. No. 81, it
| was awarded an elegant butter dish and spoon.
| A chRste and elegant silver cup was awarded
| No 81, as being the most beautiful girl baby.
| We are sure that the associations and incidents
of the Baby Show will lnger in the memory Of
those engaged a long time, and we feel sure that
! this has been one of the most enjoyable features
| of the Exposition. 100 mueh praise cannot be
bestowed upon the Musical Committee for the
manner in which this entertainment has been
cOnuucUUu.
SPECIAL PREMIUMS.
| Duncan R. Doris, IT., son of D. r. Doris, Of
the banasr, received special premium Of &
gold necklace with coral sets andia gold armlet,
This child is five months old and weighs twenty
pounds.
John L. McMichael, son of VIM. McMichael,
aged fourteen months, baby No. SO, also received
| premium consisting of awillow chair, offered by
Weakley & Warren, and silver cup offered by
the Board of Managers. So far as baby shows
| are concerned we believe them, in medical
point of view, unhealthy; from a humanitarian
| view we deem them cruel, and in social res
| pect we do not think them without demOralizing
results.
Distribution OF PREMIUMS.

the occasion created no little mirth as they vert
handed out by Mr.. r. A. Campbell, Secretary Of
