The Exposition.
The Third Memphis Industrial Expo
sition closed last night. Since the open
ing of the Exposition, the fifteenth o
last month, the attendance and the en-
ljoyment Of the public have been quitt
great. The Exposition was in every
sense a success, and reflects no LITTLE
credit upon the merchants, manufacture
ers, artists, mechanics and others Whose
genius, intelligence and taste contrib.
uted to the magnitude of its character
and the interest Of the thousands thai
attended. The present board of mana.
gers have displayed tact, and a skill
and spirit of public enterprise thai
challenges the warmest praise alike from
the citizens Of Memphis and the peOple
Of the State. Their judicious efforts in
arranging varied and attractive adver-
tisements for the enjoyment of visitors
each day and night were attended with
the happiest results. They have sue
lceeded, and after a month of unremit-
ting labor they now enjoy the conscious.
ness Of the great pleasure and magaifi.
cent entertainment afforded an in
telligent people, whose apppre-
citation and praise were manifested
by the liberal attendance given the Ex-
position. We regard the fact Of this bill
liant success as no Insignificant omen for
the future of Memphis, city that can,en-
terrain, interest and even instruct by an
exhibition of her industries, mechan-
isms, genius and skill thousands of peo-
pie day and night for one continuous
month; that has within itself elements
that shall make her great and glorious in
trade, commerce and manufacture. The
next exposition will doubtless prove
more brilliant and attractive than even
this one, wnich has been conducted un-
der the happiest auspices.

MEMPHIS CLUB HALL,
November Il, lS74. I
n. 7. Tomlinson, Esq, Committee from Elk
position;
DEAR SIR-Your kind and fiatterinQ
| invitation to repeat the Grand E.chi6i-
ton Of fancy dances given by me and
my pupils Friday evening last for the
benefit of the Exposition, on Tuesday
night, November 18th, is received. As
you truly state, "Many thousands were
prevented from seeing the beautiful dis
play, by the distractions which," will
understand "be removed,n and ample
accommodation for all to see given.
have reason to feel proud of the prof.
cency of my pupils, and do not feel that
with the superb stage setting you gave
US, they had q fair opportunity to give a
proper display. / feel that in the sue
cess of the Exposition we are all equally
interested, and for my own part am
willing TO do all in my power to give it
a grand finale. I have placed your kind
request before the parents of my pupils,
and feel assured they will consider it in
the spirit it is given, and have no doubt
they will cheerfully give per-
mission for the children to par
tieipate in this laudable object.
If so, I will announce the full pro-
gramme in Tuesdays papers, and hope
to meet with the same grand success
that attended the representation of Fri
day night.
1 am, sir, with much respect, yours
truly, PROF. WIN. MUELLER.
DeCastrO's Troupe.
DeCastro, the renowned magician.
with his interesting troupe, will open at
the GTeenlaw OperahOuse next Tuesday
night and remain during the week. De
Castro, besides being popular, is really
wonderful genius, and gives the most
attractive entertainments that our peo-
pie ever enjoyed. A st. Louis journal |
speaks as follows of DeCastro during |
his recent exhibitions in that city: 1.-THE |
great magician commenced his series Of
wonderful entertainments at Mercantile |
Library hall on Monday afternoon, and
gave a second performance also in the |
evening, and another one last night. |
At all the attendance was immense, and
notwithstanding the hall holds nearly
two thousand people, many hundreds
had to go away unable to see the great /
wonders presented. All who were thus
are advised to 60 this after
noon and evening, for the entertainment
is certainly one Of the most startling,
novel and attractive ever presented to
the st. Louis public. The feats per-
formed by Professor DeCastro show that
as a magician and ventriloquist be has
no equal, and those who gaze upon him
while he goes through with them, are
inspired with feelings OF awe and admit
ration at the startling scenes presented.

Jually interesting and pleasant. In this
