imaIs-POints About the displays
The Exposition was we'll attended all
day yesterday, and there was no apparent
falling of in the crowd which repaired
thither during the evening. The multi
tude, as usual, was made up Of many ele-
ments-the old, the young, the gay, the
sober, and prOfnse sprinkle Of the low
ing.
An excursion party from Lebanon, CON-
posed of the female seminary Of that place,
attended by Prof. Phillips, was there yes
terday.
Last night the pupils of Wards Semina-
~ paid visit, headed by the principal Of
the school.
The continuous crowds of visitors to the
Exposition, with the evident delight taken
in It by everybody who sees its attractions,
fully attest the merits Of the show this
year, and the success attained, gives rise 20
4 strong hope now entertained by many,
that we shall have another Exposition next
year and every year hehceforward. Let no
one in reach ofus this year, who at all thinks
of coming to sse the Exposition this year, be
kept away by the false impression, which
has gained some fOOthOld in the country,
that the Exposition is failure. 1t is the
opinion of the visitors generally that il is
better this year than last. This, We know,
IS a sufficient cOmmendation.
A lot Of interesting live animals were put
ON exhibition yesterday by Mr.. VIM.
Linck-a monkey and several cages Of rare
tropical birds of diminutive species. The
birds were suspended in floral hall. The
monkey was put in the summer scenery
department, where the owl and the black
bear range.
The Egyptian mausoleum, the idea Of
which originated with Can't. Thatcher, was
completed yesterday, and the mummy was
consigned to his new resting place. 1t
consists Of platform, ascended by steps
all around. and surlnOunted by a covering
supported by four columns. The whole is
painted the color of granite, and ornament-
ed with designs characteristic Of the an
cient Egyptians.
We give below descriptions Of few neat
displays:
STOVES, RANGES, ETC.
Hanging in mid-air across the main hall
is the sign "Phillips, ButtOrfi * CO.." di-
recting visitors 70 the very extensive dis
play Of stoves, raIiges, heating furnaces,
etc, beneath. The display IS circular in
form, the outside devoted exclusively to
elegant mantles of almost every cOnceiva-
ble pattern, while inside is ranged differ
ent varieties OfcOoking and heating stoves,
furnaces, etc. On the platform in the CEN
ter stands No. Is Charter Oak six-hOle
cooking stove, with bot water attachment.
This frm has the control OF this market
in the sale Of Charter Oak
stoves, and the number now in use is the
best evidence of their superiority over any
other pattern. We also noticed self-feed-
ing parlOr heating stoves from q. F. Filley,
of ST. Louis, and w. ResOr & Co, of Gin
cinnati. The names Of the manufacturers
of the last mentioned stoves are sufficient
20 commend them to the public. The
LOtZe SehOOl-rOOm stove, said TO be one OF
the best heaters in tine market, and the
Queen kitchen range, by the same firm, are
held in high favor. In addition 10 full
lines Of stoves there is a large assortment
OF tin and galvanized iron ware, etc.
Messrs. Phillips, ButtOrff x Co. keep
full assortment Of goods in their line at
their store, No. 22 North College street.

fronted by a magnificent display Of car

street. He has on exhibition four differ
ent kinds of vehicles, the principal one be-
ing magnificent two horse English style
c. spring Brett caTriage. The inside
trimming is brown brOadclOth,

handsome barOuche, besides two phaetOns,
three springs each, and elegantly finished.
Mr.. Hunt is a practical workman, and
turns out of his mandatory only first
