There was very respectable attendance
at the Exposition during the day yesterday,
and the crowd at night was much larger
than on the night previous, and as each day
passes, the attractions increase in number
The public will be interested in learning
that three powerful pumps have been OF
dered, for tie better working Of the cas-
sades, the machinery now in use having
failed to give satisfaction. These are q
MCGOWAN pump, FROM Cincinnati-a
splendid piece of machinery, and as hand
some as picture, Perry & Dumont and
a Wood & Simpson pump, the two last
named being Nashville firms. All the
pumps are Of very large size, aud they
will no doubt be placed in position to-mor-
row. From this time on, the cascades will
be managed much more satisfactorily, and
will be even more attractive than they are
at present.
The committee on flowers say that the
duties corrected with their department will
be fully attended to the first of
this week, as indeed, they would
have been last weea, had 1t not been for
the unusual coolness of the weather, so the
sentimentally inclined among the visitors
to the exposition, may safely count on the
pleasure of soon wandering among rare
plants and beautiful flowers, snuffing, at
the same time,
fThe oderiferous perfumes,
Thatload the spicy gale"
as they promenade along The winding paths
of the garden.
In the art gallery, still more paintings
have been placed in position. Among
these are portraits of all the Grand Masters
of the order of Free Masons in Tennessee,
from the date of the Or
ganization of the first lodge in
in our State very valuable collection,
and one which attracts great attention.
Constant improvements are being made
to the decorations of the building by exhib-
itors who are placing their goods in posi-
ton, and as these decorations are superin-
tended by committee, or, rather, are made
in conformity to instructions from com
mittee, the general effect, when they are all
completed, will be very fine.
A large number of cabinets, belonging
to private individuals, ofminerals, metals,
and shells, have been added to the attrsc
tions of the Exposition, and one very large
case, file with a magnificent and valuable
collection of shells, attracts special al
tention.
Agricultural machinery vas coming il
all day yesterday, and Power Hall present.
ed lively appearance, mammoth engine
being at work during the entire day.
The UNION AND AMERICAN printing
press will be in operation tomorrow or
next day, and advertisers will serve Their
own interest by making application for
space in our Exposition edition at an early
day.
The Bohemian glass blowers, as usual
were surrounded by large crowd, con-
stantly. They manufacture some very in-
genious aud really valuable toys, and are
certainly profcients in their vocation.
