The attendance last night was an i'm
proyement on that of Friday. During the
day the visitors from the country had the
building almost entirely TO themselves. In
the afternoon the trapeze performance was
successfully carried out, and Mcdonald,
the champion skate dancer, with Baby Nc
Donald. the child wonder, gave matinee.
They also performed last night, to the de-
light ofthe thousands present.
The Baby Show programme is published,
but is crowded out of this mornings paper
for the want of space.
The public will be glad to learn that the
Post Band has been engaged during the
continuance of the Exposition.
Mr.. WheelOcs, the gentlemanly Superin-
tendent of Power Hall, will accept our
thanks for favOTs granted.
We noticed the following displays:
THE GROVER & RAKER SEWING MACHINE.
Mr.. Z. Z. Wood, general agent for the
Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Company,
has fitted up one of the finest displays to be
found on the north side ofthe ladies' prom
enade gallery. Ii is a miniature room, en-
closed with elegant lace curtains, in which
is placed a full length mirror. The floor
is handsomely carpeted, and the different
STYLES of machines of the Groser q Baker
pattern placed within. The celebrated
Elastic Stitch Machine Of this company
needs no recommendation from us. II IS
acknowledged to be one of the most COM
g
tured, and has no equal for embroidery and
fancy work. The new Grover x Baker
lOck-stitch sewing machine, now in the
market, the simplest, most useful and reli-
able machines of the kind ever offered the
public.
In connection with the display of ma
chimes, there are two showcases filled with
samples, of fine embroidery, etc, ION ladies
and children's wear. The LADIES seem
never to tire in examining the work maniI-
featured on the machines of this company,
and their verdict is that the Grover * ba-
ker has no equal for family use, being
adapted to all classes of work, and less
liable to get out of repair than any other.
The salesroom of this company IS located
at No. ia Church street, and all persOnS
who think of purchasing a machine are
recommended to call and examine the
Grover x Baker before investing. Full
explanations given, and a guarantee with
every machine sold.
HONEY FROM THE ITALIAN APIARY.
The samples of honey placed on exhibit
ton by w. III. p. Jones, proprietor of the
Italian Apiary, two miles west OF the city,
on the Charlotte pike, attracts the atten-
ton of the ladies, who pronounce it No.
! article. 1t is put up in pound and half
pound bottles for family Use, and the comb
is placed in boxes convenient for handling.
Mr.. Jones devotes considerable attention
to bee culture, and has made it a success.
IL is kept on sale at DOrtch X HaddOxs
drug store, and at James Summers grocery,
127 Church street. =
ALE, PORTER, CIDER, MINERAL WATER,
ETC.
The most elaborate display of bottled
porter, ale and cider, as well as soda, self
ger, sarsaparilla and mineral waters, is loca-
ted in the wing of the building to the right
of the fountain, and is from the house OF
Diehl & Lord, the popular bottlersof cream
ale, porter and cider, of No. So Church
street. This firm are also extensive manu-
facturers of mineral water of AL haSors,
and xxx ginger ale. In their Exposition
display we noticed samples OF stock porter,
XXX porter, cream ale, sarssparilla, min |
eral water, seltZer water, sweet cider, ETC.,
arranged in a manner TO show off to adyan- |
tage, and the whole decorated with several |
signs of their business and 10
cation.
The immense success Of this firm de- |
monstTates what can be accomplished by |
industry, perseverance, and close attention |
10 business. Four or five years ago their |
business was on very small scale, and the |
two prOprietOrs did the entire work of the |
establishment,-oneo of them attending to |
the bOttliDg process, while the other did |
the outdoor work in the way of introducing |
and selling their goods through ont the city. |
The sales were small at first, but kept stead |
lily increasing, mouth by month, and year
by year, until now their business and
