The general impression at tine Exposition
last night, was that the crowd was much
larger than on any previous evening IL
was impossible by looking over it TO make
anything like an accurate estimate OF the
number of persons present, but there were
probably four thousand.
The monotony of the Exposition-f we
might be permitted to use that figure oil
speeeh. was relieved last night by series
Of daring and brilliant amateur trapeze per-
formances. They were witnessed by
multitude that filed the floor and galleries
Of the east wing. The actors were John
Emory and John Dearman, Nashville boys,
and their performances were scarcely less
TO be admired than those Of the best pro-
fessional gymnasts. They were loudly
cheered. These young men are engaged 10
act tonight, and there viii be double
trapeze performance at 81 O'Clock and sin
gle, at %.
The Rock City Band closed its engage
ment last night, and the Post Band IS to
take Its place in future. The Rock CITY
has furnished unexceptionable music and
has added much TO the ectdt of the EXPOSE
ton.
The Post Band viii serenade in the
streets in full uniform to-day.
THE CABLE SCREW WIRE MACHINE
for the manufacture Of boots and shoes,
placed on exhibition by B. Z. Cutter, pro-
prietor Of the "Blue Boot and Snoe Store,
No. 80 Broad street, corner of College, is
operated every evening, and draws I'M
lnense crowds to witness the rapidlty with
whichthe work is turned out. The ca
pacity of this machine is three hun
dred pairs a day, by foot power, and
by steam power six hundred pairs can be
manufactured, AIr. Gutter gave cable wire
boots and shoes thorough test before he
ventured, four years ago, to Introduce their
manufacture in this market. His expert
ment has proved great success, and he IS
selling to-day fifty pairs Of the cable wire
work to one pair Of pegged. They are des-
tined to drive pegged work out of the mar
ket altogether; while they are much cheaper
/ aud twice as durable as sewed work.
There is no chance for the cable wire
boot or shoe to rip, if the inner
sole is of good material, and Mr..
Cutter allows only the best stock to be used
in his work. Every pair is fully warranted
Every variety of boots and shoes is manu-
featured for men, boys, ladies, misses and
children. Mr.. Cutter began business on
the corner of College and Broad streets IN
January, 1913, and has continued in the
same building, without intermiSSion, since
that period. There is net a merchant IL
the city of Nashville who has done bust
ness in one building for as long time
as he has. Mr.. G. has been very success
full in maintaining his trade, and there are
| citizens of this city who have clothed theil
feet regularly at the ssBlue Boot and Shoe
Stor'' for the past thlrty-one years. de
keens in stock full line of Eastern and
homemade boots and shoes, hats, umbrel
las, whips, etc. r
