Opening OF the big Week Under FIns
Auspices-DeseriPtIO Of Display,
Continued.
EveFybodyis prediction that this is to be
the ''big" week of the Exposition received
plausibility by the aIIspiciOus beginning
made yesterday and last night. There was
fine attendance and everything passed of
delightfully."-.
We give as follows running notes on a
few displays:
BOOTS AND SHOES.
In the fashionable boot and shoe line, T.
E. WinStead & Co. have very attractive
display on the north side of the promenade
gallery show case filled with samples of
The class Of work they are offering patrons
at their extensive establishment, No. 7
North Cherry street, opposite the Maxwell
House. They keep constantly in store a
full line ladies' and gentlemen's wear, the
latest out, while their stock Of youths and
ehildren's goods cannot be surpassed 6y any
other house in the city. Visitors from a
distance, as well our own citizens, can
not fail to be suited by calling at this eS-
tablishment.
SADDLES, HARNESS, ETC.
The managers Of the Exposition, as we'll
as the public, are indebtedtoC L. HOverton
& Co. for 8 magnificent display Of saddles,
harness, saddlery hardware, etc. They oc-
cupy a space Of ten by ifty-seven feet, on
the lett side Of the main hall, near the
entrance. The floor is handsomely car
-peted, and the general arrangement Of the
goods on display decidedly artistic. The
wall space is mainly devoted to fine harness.
The center is occupied by a beautiful full set,
costing 81 600, while on either side hang
fine specimens Of work ranging as low as
SO. There are saddles in great variety, on
the inner floor space, for ladies, gentlemen
and youths, at from $50 to SIS;
and whips that sell from ten
cents TO SIS; also brides, worth anywhere
from seyenty-fige cents to SIS. Their dis
play Of saddlery hardware is contained in
three large show cases, and is without doubt
the richest selection Of goods in that line
ever placed on exhibition in this city.
Different styles and varieties are here no
ticed, the mountings being in gold, silver,
nickel, rubber and covered. They make
this branch Of business a specially, and
carry the largest and most elegant stock to
be found in any house south Of the Ohio
river. Fine engravings Of noted running
and trotting horses are hung above the dis
play of harness, while a splendid photo
graph of q. l.. HOwerton, the senior mem
Der of the firm, adOrns the center.
This display of MeSsrS. Howerton Il Co.
is highly and justly praised by every visitor,
and is pronounced not only superior to
anything Of the kind ever exhibited in the
United States, but as equal 10 any display
of this class Of goods at the great Vienna
Exposition. This high tribute is paid by
parties who were in Europe in attendance
at the Vienna Exposition, and know
whereof they speak.
Messrs. &. l.. HOwertOn & Co. are
probably the largest wholesale manufae-
tureTs and dealers IN saddles, saddlery
hardware, harness, collars, whips, etc, in
the Southern States, and their store at No.
53 Market street is kept well stocked with
full and complete assortment of goods in
their line. They have large and inereas-
ing trade throughout the South, and we
congratulate them on the successful buSi-
ness they have established.
CLENNY's HORSE FERRYBOAT.
Mr.. Il. IL. Moody yesterday placed on
exhibition model ofClenny's pateut horse
ferryboat. 1t is Tennessee invention, and
the cheapes. and best adapted to ferry pur-
poses yet introduced. 1t requires the at
tentiOn Of one man, and is propelled by one
horse, and yet with p, 600 pounds of freight
it passes through the water as easily as
when not loaded. For ferry purposes, it
surpasses anything now a1Oat, and is des-
tined to come into general use. There are
number of these boats now in use on the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. Its
claims are fully endorsed by Hon. Bale
PeytOn, Judge Jo C.. Guild, Hon.
ThOs. Barry, j. J. Turner, Esq, James
W. BlaekmOre and ]. A. Trousdale, all of
whom have personal knowledge of its util-
ity. Mr.. Moody offers great inducements
to parties wishing to buy ferry or river
rights. He will remain in the city a few
days, and can be consulted at the EIpOsi-
tiOn building, or addressed at Townsville,
Cheatham county, Tenn. His model is on
exhibition in the main hall, near the en-
trance.
