increases as the Exposition advances, and

ton the art of photography has reached in

Poole. He has fully answered the Oft-re.
peated question, "Why not make as good
pictures in Nashville as in New York;
by producing class of work equal in every
respect TO the finest work turned out II
Eastern cities, as the samples on display al
the Exposition will testify. A New \ orkel
at the Exposition last evening remarked
that Poole's collection of pictures, taken a:
a whole, were the finest specimens OF pho
tographic art he had ever seen
on exhibition, and would do credit to th'
best artists in New York. This is higf
praise. and speaks well for the perfection
| Mr., p. has attained in his business. Many
of our citizens, who have visited Louisville
| and Cincinnati, say that no display o
4 photographs in either city can compare witt
| it. We are glad to be able to record thu
| triumph of the art in Nashville, and con
graduate Mr.. Poole ON his success. Hi
