The Opening of the Exposition and
an Exposition of the Opening.
The great opening day Of the Sixth Cincin.
natl Industrial Exposition has arrived and
found the city in its gala dress and filled tt
repletion with guests waiting and anxious te
do honor to our great industrial work and tc
the city that honors honest labor and artistic
excellence by putting their results alongside
each other in the great display Of the CONT.
nent. Cincinnati's Expeditions have made hel
famous all over the world, and have also made
her workmen as thoroughly noted. No city in
the world has attained to so great notoriety OF
obtainedso great success in her Expositions,
and while the displays are open to all, they are
In 30 large degree the direct results Of Gin
cinnaM labor and Cincinnati workmen and art
lists that the Exposition may be justly claimed
as our own and as representation Of the abil-
itics Of our own city and her artisans.
While the display is with propriety claimed
by Cincinnati as in great majority her own,
the interest manifested in 1t and in its success
is 30 universal throughout the country, that
the Exposition coming each year, as it does,
and attended by representative men from every
State, as it is, it may justly be considered a
national affair In many particulars and
well worthy Of the attention Of all who can
make it within their power to reach it, in
person or by the products OF their labors.
No Cincinnati institution has had as bene-
ncial an effect upon the city at large or it's in
dividual inhabitants as has the Exposition. 1t
has given us name not only among our sister
cities In this country, but among the cities of
the world, as fostering higher mechanical arts
as well as the artistic genius OF our own coun-
try, and of placing premium upon honorable
toll and careful, thoughtful labor, as well as
upon the higher arts and rennements.
That movement which gives equal honor to
the results Of muscular labor and faithful toll
as compared with the higher arts and sciences,
Is the one which is destined to ennoble labor
In the sight Of humanity, and place the labor
ing man upon his own correct plane Of living
and thinking. Hence our Exposition, which
gives special attention to the products of toll,
is becoming a recognized agent in bringing up
the working man to his proper position.
The arrangements for the opening to-day
were unusually complete, and nothing was
wanting to make the opening day the gran dest
that has been known since the inauguration Of
Cinclnnati's Expositious.
THE MEN OF THE PARADE.
The grand parade, the feature of the day,
has been thoroughly organized by Col. William
st. Martin. and everything was in readiness for
the days show. Mr.. 81. Martin has labored as
siduously in preparing the parade. and has
succeeded In making 1t the great feature Of the
occasion, and one which will be long rem en-
bered with pride by the city.
1t thoroughly represents nearly every branch
Of industry In our city, and many Of them in
the largest ever known in the city, was thor
oughly 0ficered and so we'll arrang ged that no
trouble or mismanagement seemed possible.
