There was fair turnout at the EXPOSE
ton in the morning and afternoon of yes
teriay, the children from st. MaTy's Or
phan Asylum attending in a body. The
little ones were highly pleased with their
visit, and were on their best behavior.
Early in the evening the people com
menced pouring in, drawn, no doubt, by
the extraordinary attractions laid down in
the programme for the occasion. The
force of ticket-sellers and gate-keepers had
TO be doubled in order to accommodate the
surging masses clamOring for admission.
1t IS safe to estimate the people present at
between seven and eight thousand, and
these figures are more likely to be below
than above the actual number. Never be-
fore, probably, were so many people as
sembled together in Nashville under one
roof.
TIE guests from Indiana arrived about
81 O'Clock, followed by the Grand Lodge
aud Encampment of Odd Fellows. After
being seated, they were welcomed on be-
half Of the Board of Exposition Directors
by J. L. Weakley, Esq, in few appropri-
ate remarks.
The Jubilee Singers of Fisk University
appeared on the platform, by special invita-
tion. and gave a rare treat Of vocal music,
for which they have become famous
both in this country and Europe.
The programme was made up largely
from sslave songs" or .sspirituals,' for the
singing. of which the colored people Of the
South have been so long famous. -Four of
the eleven singers were absent from the
city. and il was only al the earnest request
of many citizens, that they consented to
sing in public at so great a disadvantage.
As il was, however, they were accorded the
greatest attention by the audience, and the
rendering Of each part was the signal for
general applause. Ii was announced that,
on future occasion, they will appear be-
fore Nashville audience and give public
concert, under more favorable circum-
stances than those of last night.
st the close of the concert, the trapeZe
performance was successfully carried out,
when the Invited guests repaired to the
banquet prepared in the Directors room.

other part of tO-day's UNION AND AMER
ICAN.
The Baby Show is the feature for this az
| ternOon. The premiums will be announced
at night. AnO her immense turn out will
! be in order, and We have no doubt the at
| tendance Kill equal, if not suTpasS, the at
tendai &c last night. Il is fair % presume
/ that most Nashville mothers will be pre-
sent, if only to view the grand array of in
fants that will be placed on exhibition;
and where the mothers are, there the
fathers gill most likely cOngregate.
Let all turn out ana givs the young 'uns a
grand reception.
5. H. Wallace, of Chattanooga, Tenn,
last night lost a knights Templar pin
eight pointed star, with skull and cross
bones. The finder will be suitably re-
warded by leaving it with Brown Morgan,
the entry clerk at the Exposition building.
We direct attention TO the following dis
plays:
| AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, ETC.
To the right of the entrance to the main
| hall the visitor cannot fail to notice the
very extensive display of farming imple-
ments from the well and IayOrably known
| house Of &. II StOcllell x Co., northwest
| corner OF Church and College streets. This
firm makes it point in their business to
| keep only such articles as have been proven
to possess superior merits, and worthy the
| full confidence of their patrOns-the retailer
as well as the consumer. IT is poor econO-
nv to purchase secondhand or cheap work.
An improved implement will soon pay for
| itself. and the farmer will thus avoid the
| 10 .
cheap article in repair.
The samples on display at the Exposition
| are specimens Of the quality Of goods they
| keep on hand at their salesrOOm, and the
farmer can rely on getting only the best
class of agricultural implements by patron
| iZing their establishment. The gentlemen
| comprising the firm are old and well-knOwn
| citizens of Nashville, whose business ca
pacity ranks No. /, and whose guarantee
| viii, he endorsed by the entire community.
| The attention o. visitors Is directed to the
| celebrated
Brinleg URirerSdl PlOU-With patent
wrought steel, movable heel or landslide
| The wrought landslide will not break, and
| can be easily fitted to an old as well as a
new pillow. The Brinkley PloWs have been
| tested alongside almost every make OF
plows manufactured in the United States,
! and have carried off three hundred prem
| iluiss Ior strength, durability, lightneSs of
| draught, thOrGughneEs OF WOTE, securing
capacity in every kind OF Soil, steadineSs
and ease of movement, simplicity of con-
| structiOn, and the ease with which worn
parts can be repaired, or renewed. They
are ENDORSED Ly parties using them in all
parts of the South.
The Brialy Gang PlOlc is fast coming
into general use. 1t will plOw ground in
| which all other plOws make failure; tie
depth OF the furoW is uDiform. and il runs
| with unYarying Steadiness. The capacity
| of this pillow is five acres per day, and it
! requires no hand to hold it in the ground.
1t can be run with ease by boy and can
be driven from field TO field on its own
wheels. The plOwman can walk or ride,
and get on or off at pleasure, without dan
| ger. The practical farmer will appreciate
this gang pillow, and once introduced in
neighborhood, it will meet with general
and rapid sale.
| The Farmers FdUOrite Grain Drill, also
| ON exhibition, has taken the premium at
every neld trial in which it participated.
| IL has been awarded more medals and di-
plOmaS since January, 1872, than all ether
grain drills built on the American cOnti-
| nent. IL is always reliable, distributes
| accurately, evenly, and in desired amounts,
every variety Of held grains, cOmpOsts and
| grass seeds. r.. ID is one Of the most useful
! implements 81 the kind ever brought TO the
