A Fine Attendance Yesterday and Last
Ntght-Notes About Various Inter-
esGing Features.
The number of visitors at the Exposition
during tae day yesterday, was as large as
the average daily attendance thus far, and
last night such crowd assembled as has
not been seen there at all before. For an
hour and half the building fairly swarm
ed with human beings. The ladies were
out in larger numbers than on
any previous occasion, by their pres
| ence everywhere in the grounds,
made the evening particularly enjoyable.
The Exposition looked remarkably fine,
pleasing everybody, and none seemed salts
fed without making three or four tours of
it.
1t NAV be said without exaggeration-
| for We might leave it unsaid were it not
true, that the Exposition is well spoken of
by. all who have visited it and praises have
not been sparing. We are confident, from
present and past indications, that it is
bound to draw all Middle Tennessee
through its portals before the close, and a
profuse sprinkling of outsiders.
The artistic and deliberately arranged dis
play of Charles II. Gauthier, at the east
end of the gallery, attracts universal atten-
ton and most favorable comment. 1t is
certainly very creditable TO the enterprise
of Mr.. Gauthier, who has built up an ex-
cellent trade in his line of business. His
specialties consist Of paints, oils, varnishes,
paint and busting brushes, transfer orna-
ments, paper and wax flower material,
coach cO.ors, stencil inks, sashes (ready
glazed), doors, blinds, etc. His prices are
at figures as low as can be offered in this OF
any other market. Mr.. Gauthier's store, at
No. 10 North College street, is stocked
with a large and elegant assortment OF
goods, and parties desiring anything in his
line cannot failto have their wants satisfied.
He offers inducements in cOal oil, Govern
ment fire test, 10 degrees,) and in the
well known headlight oil, (non-explOsive, }
which gives pure light, free from smoke
and smell, and is beyond question the most
economical oil in the market. His ready
mixed paints are appreciated in every
household. he has also the largest assOrt-
ment of artists materials in the South, as
well as feather busters, window glass, etc.
BY calling at headquarters, No. 10 North
College street, any one will be convinced
that at no other establishment can his
wants be more fully met, or at lower
figures.
Visitors TO the Exposition appreciate the
taste displayedby 5. Powers * Son, the en-
terprising clothierS at the corner of Market
street and the Public Square. Their con-
tribution is located on the north side of the
gallery, and consists of the largest andmOst
elegant assortment of fine clothing on ex
hibition. Among the many different ar
ticles, we noticed a handsome Oyercoat, the
cost of which was 500, pants worth $50
and vests held at s22. In addition 10 these
we might mention their business, dress
and prOminade suits that cannot be excel
ed. A fine display Of neckwear, under
wear, shirts, etc, is also made. The large
glass case containing the firms display i
hung with magnificent curtains, costing s.;
per yard, and is decorated Will
ornamental work and an ele
CANT large-sized mirror. In from
of the case stand two costly bronze figures
adding considerable 10 the attractiveDess
the display. This house is old and tirml.
f established, and anything we might say il
commentator of their enterprise and IN
, | teeritv as business men would be Stain
! what the public is already apprised OF
However, we will say, that purchasers c
wearing apparel at 5. Powers Il Sons, vii
get the best article of the kind to be foun
anywhere South, and just what they repre-
, sent the goods to be. Their knowledge q
!. the clothing business enables them seleC
the best goods in the market, and they a
low nothing to go cut CT their establish
: ment that will not stand the test Of time
They keep a full line of furnishing good
| always ON hand.
Peynado & Co, tObacconists, representa-
in this city by the Maxwell House cigs
|, stand, have an elegant case of cigars, pipe
: etc, in the west gallery, containing sever'
packages Of imported cigars worth $3.50
