THE EXPOSITION.


the Fire Observation-Disclosures by
the Jubilee singers-The Baby Show,
Etc.
The closing week of the Exposition
opened with fun average Mondays at
tendance, and the indications are that this
week will be the most successful of any
since the first day. The Committee on
Amusements are making earnest endeavors
to please the pubic, and if they fail in any
measure to satisfy every one, it will not be
their fault.
The programme for the week is a grand
one, and will draw an immense number of
strangers from abroad, who will take ad-
vantage of the half-fare rates on the differ
ent railroads.
The Mayor and City Council of Evans
Vile will arrive on the 12:47 train tO-mor-
row. They will be received at the depot by
Mayor Howell, the Board of Aldermen and
Common Council, accompanied by Gen.
Pennypacker and staff, the Beard Of Direc-
tors and Managers of the Exposition, head
ed by the Post Band, and escorted TO the
Maxwell House, where they will be re-
ceived as guests of the city.
In the afternoon the Fire Department
will make their display, leaving the Public
Square promptly at O'Clock, moving
through the principal streets, and returning
to the Square at o clock, when trial dis
play of the new engine, now on exhibition
at the Exposition, with all the city engines,
will take place.
At night the Indianians will visit the
Exposition in body.

tomorrow night, as indicated by the fol-
lowing correspondence:

Industrial Exposition-Dear Sir: Your
note of to-day, asking that the Jubilee
Singer give a concert at the Exposition,

In reply would state thai four OF the
eleven singers composing the company, in
Guiding Mss Sheppard, the pianist, and the
bass singers, are absent from the city.
The combination being thus broken, it
would place the company at a great dis
advantage to attempt to sing in public.

of the company at present in the city, and
in view of the general desire expressed by
our citizens TO hear them sing, they have
consented, provided the above explanation
be.published in connection with the an

Such selection of the songs sung by them

THE LADIES' GEM.
The laundry and cooking stove exhibited
by the inventor, Mr.. Geo. W. c. Lowell, Of
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, is one of the neatest
and most useful articles to be found inthe Ex-
position. 1t is located near the centre OF
the main hall, at the north end Of the stove
department. 1t is the handSomest thing IN
the way of pocket stove We have seen.
The chief advantages claimed for it are
economy, cleanliness and convenience. 1t
can be used for washing, cooking, heating,
and anything any other stove can do. 1t
may be set in the kitchen, dIning-rOOm,
laundry or parlor or Out-of-doOrs, and in |
each capacity will perform its funttions |
equally well. The arrangements for heat |
ing irons aud the patent irons with de- |
tached handles are complete and commend |
themselves to every one. In short, the |
Ladies' Gem" seems to be an almost in |
piece Of household furniture. |
Mr.. Lowell has the highest recommended |
tions of the excellence of the Gem from |
DR.. j. b. West, late president ofthe CIarks !
vile Female Academy, o. w. Hillman, |
merchant of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, aud others |
who have given it a far trial. We are |
glad to know that Mr.. Lowell proposes to
arrange for the manufacture of the stove in
this city. We trust he will be successful,
and recommend the samples on exhibition
to all visitors. The Gem will be on sale
at the well known stove house of w. +.
