the different pianafoTte aud organ manufsc
tories represented by this firm, embracing
knabe q Co.'S, Steinway q Sons, Durham
q Sons, and Haines Bros pianos, and
the Burdett, Esty and Prince organs. j.
A Mcclure & Bros Temple Of Music, at
No. p North Cherry street, is headquarters
lOf musical merchandise. They deal ex-
tensively in sheet music and small musical
Instruments. The senior Of firm has
lad very successful experience in the
Trade Tor more than quarter OF a century,
and We feel warranted in recommending
and endorsing the class Of instruments they
are offering TO the public, embracing, as
they do, those of the leading manufactures
Of the country. While the space occupied
by them in the building is necessarily
small, they have succeeded in making their
location one of the most attractive in the
hall, and the sound of the grand plano will
not fail to draw crowds of admiring listen
ers.
PHOTOGRAPHS.
The display OF Mr.. r. Poole, the photo
grapher, is worthy special notice. The wall
space allotted him is tastefully arranged,
and the evidence of his artistic skill elabO-
rately set forth. The large postal picture
in the center of his display-that Of Miss
Lucy Eastman, of this city, is a work Of
unusual merit, and is highly praised by all
visitors. On the right hangs the same size
crayon picture of our next Governor, Hon.
James ID. Porter, while on the left is
that of Rev. I. A. Hoyt. His display of
crayon, Plasti and Rembrandt photographs
is very large. and the full figure, parlor
scene. colOred photographs are perhaps the
Ia at
showcases filled with pictures complete
his contribution. They contain respectively,
card miniatures, photographs of old folks
and cabinet size pictures. MIR. POOle's
gallery is located on the corner of linton
and Cherry streets, and he has established
a large and successful business.
PUMPS, ETC.
On the left of the main hall, the visitor
can not fail to notice the attractive display
of David Grewar, who has placed ON exhi-
bition large number OF pumps, Of differ
ent patents, marble-tOp washstands, lamps,
hydraulic rams, and handsome gass chan
delier. In addition, Mr.. Grewar has fitted
upa model house and garden, which pleases
the children immensely. This evening he
will add new attractions TO the latter for
the pleasure of the little ones.
FLAMES NhhOMOo. ElNs
While Messrs. Freeman & Orchard have
no. as large display as they would have
been pleased 10 make had sufficient space
been allotted them, they certainly have sue
ceeded in making an exhibition that re-
fleets great credit on their taste, and forces
the favorable attention of all passing along
the east end of the promenade gallery. A
magnificent 5000 mirror, together with two
sixteen foot mirrors, 50 arranged as
to give parties on the promenade a
fall view Of themselves as they
approach, IS well as when they come OppO-
site, naturally draws attention to the ele-
gaut line Of chrOmos and engravings with
| which their space is adorned. Their large
collection Of pictures, embraces almost
every shade Of life, ludicrous and other
wise. MeSsrs. Freeman & Orchard deal ex-
tensively in mirrors, and have on hand in
their establishment, at No. 10 North Col
lege street, probably as fine an assortment
as can be found in the South. They
have all designs of window eOrnice, and
their stock of window shades is unsur-
passed south Of the Ohio liver. Their
stock Of ehromos is large and elegant, as is
also their steel ensravings. One Of the
specialtIes OF this firm is picture frame OF
| their own make, design and hnlSh. Many
Of the finer frames from the Art Gallery are
from this house. Both members of the
firm are practical wOrkmen in their
line Of business, and they are thus
enabled TO offer greater inducements TO
purchasers than any other house in the
city. The display at the Exposition is but
a small sample of their large and varied
stock, and visitors will be amply repaid by
calling at their store, No. Is North College
street.
