TIE CINCINNATI EXPOSITION.
A. call upon Mr.. Pcnrce, President of tho
yisitud the Cincinnati show in the lnerost Of our
own, waH rewarded with tho Information that
the Chicago delegates woro heartily vel
comcd by tho energetic sons Of the once Queon
City, whoHo throne waH 80 suddenly usurpcd ny
Chicago. Iboy took them at once into. their
confidence, showed ther Exposition, explained
whore their judgment had boon proved correct
by subsequent experience, mud whore II had
erred suggested remedies by which our delegAtos
could nvuid disaBtcr, and although acted IN 0
mannerwhich impressed thcm in our Com
mittoe's estimation very fayorably. Their
ahow Mr.. pearce pronounceB to be o
splendid one, tho only thing il lacks bclng suit
able building. Tie attendance during their
visit WAS not very good, mud all the Hpaco WAS
not occupied. Tho show Of machinery WIS i'm
monso, while tho floral display. wRn such as. 1lr.
pearco considers. no othor city in tue Unlon can
equal. An inBtance of the extremolv-g generous
good-foeling which tho Cincinnati nluunBers feel
towards our own Exposition WAS plainly shown
in their releasing exhibitors, who had sig!ed en.
gagomonts to keep their WIRES on hand until
tho exhibition WIS closed, III time to

hearty good-followSl,ip, which will not soon

as that OF many prominent citzons Of Clllen-
nat that tint city will send not less than 10 900
ysitora to our Exposition.
TIE RECRETARY.
Tho tabors OF Mr.. john =. Reynolds are incea-
SAINT, aud oft-tlmes Of u worry afduous aud deli
cato nature. About 400 exhibitors haro each III
turn tried to persuade linn that his particular
display will bo the tnost in tho Exposition, and
deserving of about Bix times as large space AZ
iE available in tho worry best part OF tue building.
How he satisfies them all ia o nvstory that It
would be unfair to attempt to unrayol; suffice It
to know that he docs satisfy the most enthuSi-
astic.
Not threc weeks remain to he parsed between
now and tho day Of the Exposition opoAlng
Much work ia to bo done III tho meantime, but
that it will be dono, and well done, thore is 10
reason to doubt for Chicago ouorgy, which hHa
not yet lear1ed the meaning Of the word failure,
