The managers may we'll feel a pride in
the success attending their efforts to make
the Fourth Annual Exhibition sIlrpass that
of any previous year. From the opening
night to the present time, the attendance
has steadily increased, and the lowest esti-
mate we heard placed on the number pres
ent last night was seven thousand. These
figures are not far out Of the way. This
success Is source of qualification to our
citizens, and the question of permanent
building is being mooted and receiving ia
yorable consideration.
Excursions are now in order. The train
from Bowling Green, yesterday, started
from that place with over four hundred ex-
cursionists, and before reaching Nashville
the number was swelled to over eight hun
dred. They were delighted with the Ex-
position, and were not backward in so ex-
pressing themselves. The train bringing
this party returned at 1910 p. NJ, giving
only about five hours in which to see all
the sights, but they made good use of the
time allowed them, and started for home
highly delighted with their trip. Among
the Bowling Green delegation were thirty
or forty cadets from Warren College,
located in that thriving town. They ap-
peared in the cadet uniform, and made a
very favorable impression.
About halfpast eight O'Clock the various
lodges of Knights of Pythias, of this city
and Edeeiield, escorted by the Post Band,
entered the building They were attired
in fatigue uniforms, and made a very cred
liable appearance.
The poultry show was the attraction
during the day. Several additions have
been made, and the display of fine breeds is
far ahead of anything of the kind ever here
tofore brought together in this State. 1t
viii close to-day.
The young men employed TO manipulate
the tTapsze, are improving rapidly. They
have added several thrilling features to
their performance, and are nightly awarded
the hearty applause of the spectators.
The Board Of Managers will hold a meet
ing tonight TO consider the proposition of
10 GOllllNuE lit- L4ADlSlllUu di.-
other week. There is no doubt but the de-
cision will be favorable TO a continuance.
The ice broke in the Arctic regions las
night, the water flowed freely over the falls,
and the white polar bear was serenely
happy.
The ladies' dining hall had a big run
yesterday. and the peanut stands did
thriving business.
In our notice yesterday of the Rock City
Paper Manufacturing Company, the amount
Of coal consumed was placed at $40 tuns"
per day, when it should have read ''twen-
ty tuns."
We notice the following displays:
WATER POWER HOSTING MACHINE-COT-
TON OR HAY PRESS.
Ga the south side Of the gallery near the
head Ofths stairway, We noticed a case of
models made and invented by Mr.. p.
Byrne, and of very fine workmanship. Mr..
Byrne is also the inventor of the well
known warehouse elevators, over hundred
of which are in use in this city. He is a
member of the firm of Mcdonald IL Byrne,
elevator manufacturers, corner of High and
Line streets. One of the models on eXhi-
bitiOn represents a water power hosting
machine, to work an elevator. or for hoist
irg material on a new building, and can be
attached to the water mains or hydrdnt.
The other is a model Of a cotton
or hay press. And We wish to call
the attention of our farmers and plant
ers to this press, as it has advantages supe-
riOT TO any now in use. Ii is capable of
making as good a bale of cotton with two |
mel as any horsepower press in the mar |
ket; but it can be worked 10 advantage by |
four men, making at least twenty bales a |
day. For power it has the screw and lever |
and is worked by cranks aud |
ratchet levers, making fast motion in the |
and going slow and increasing |
the power as The bale approaches compile |
ton. Ii IS also convenient TO work. 1t |
can be filed by man standing on the |
floor, as It is only six feet high. II can also |
be placed in any building, which is great |
as it can be placed near the |
gin. here are nOTOpes used in It's construc-
ton, to be rotting or getting out of order
nothing but wood and iron of the most
substantial quality about it. By taking
out the tie rods, ii can be taken apart in
few minutes and moved to any place de-
sired and. set up again without trouble,
which makes it handy for baling hay. Mr..
DlAlLC HIS idtCll pdtCllttu Nulo pLCSSs am
rom his long experience in machinery we
have no doubt he has succeeded in making
/ as nearly perfect in every respect as
possible. II has all the appearance of be-
ne model Of strength, and we commend
is examination to all concerned.
