There were but few pedpte at the E2po-
sition building yesterday, outside of thoss
whose duties called them there. The Ugh
showers which fell at intervals throughou
the entire day, together with the unusua
GOODNESS of the weather, had the effect o
keeping sight-seers at home, as they know
they will have the whole month in which tt
visit the Exposition, and are therefore dis
posed to take things easy.
With those who were preseat, the opera
tons Of the Bohemian glass-blowers pre-
sented, perhaps, the strongest attraction
and as these artists in glass spun out tht
wonderful productions of their skill, they
kept constantly about them groups Of Gu
Iious lookers-on, who stood and wondered
how it was possible to make such fantastic
and beautiful articles out of SO brittle 8
material as glass.
Large additions have been made to the
stock of agricultural machinery, and these
were being placed in position, new build
iDgs being also in process of erection for the
better accomm dalton of this class of ma
chinery.
In The portrait gallery, workmen were
occupied in arranging the pictures that have
been sent in, and great changes and Inn.
provements have been made in this depart
.ment since the day previous, as the paint
ings had been classed, and we're being hung
regularly and in order, in tie different
apartments.
The ladies attending the dining room
had but little TO do, and were therefore rest

crowds Of people.
The band was in attendance, and dis
coursed music for the benefit of the few
| hundreds who were in the building, with
the same regularity and fathfulness which
would have been observed had there been
ten thoasand people present.
Towards night the weather cleared up
somewhat and the indications were that
the rain had entirely ceased Tor the present,
and that those no saw tC to venture out,
would not run the risk of dreDching be-
fore reaching home again. Hence the at
tendance at night was much larger than the
managers supposed it would be, and tn.
scene presented inside the building was
very attractive indeed.
The following was the musical pro-
gramme: Priests War March, Mendel-
son; Ida GalOp, Faust; Beautiful Rhine

Several exhibitors, with goods already in
the building, have made application for ad-
| ditional room, and this fact may be COZ
sidered an indication that the present will
be the most popular of all our ExpOsitions
thus far. Another proof of this is shown
in the fact of the dining room having been
bid in this year at eight hundred and fl ty
dollars, whereas it rented last year for but
four hundred, less than half the amount re-
ceived for it this year.

Our readsrs must not fail to notice
natural curiosity to be seen near the open

sized cedar tree, VI hich has grown Through
a large oak, the wood of both trees being
sound and we'll preserved. At the time
the oak was cut down, for the purpose of
being placed on exhibition, it was growing,
but the cedar has evidently been dead for
several years, although the wood shows no
evidence of decay.

Speaking of calves: It is to be hoped the
board of managers will place patient and
long suffering public under additional obi
cations, by placing some restrictions upon
tie enterprise and perseverance of the
crowds Of haCkmeD, who flock about The
