The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1875-09-16

Dayy Crockett, the Commissioners think
they are right, and they will go ahead,
and conquer in the long run, as the in
oreaslng attendance. from day 70 Day
clearly 'proves. Everything, 700, runs
smoothly and regularly resempnng.as iaral
as the inner working Of the institution
is concerned, more by well-managed
bank than the busting, confused expo
sitions o. fol- mer years. HA-
The test of engines still goes on. The
last of the five that have already entered
viii not \ be tested before Monday.
Though Some facts Of interest with re-
gard TO the various engines may be given
from time to time, the decision OF the, ex-
lperts can not be given for several days
after the close of the Exposition.
To describe in detaii,'not every article
exhibited, but simply the various classes
of articles, would be a herculean task
that time nor space will not permit, but
some of the more prominent demand a
mention, from the fact that the general
public are interested in knowing some
thing more concerning them than the
mere mention that they are In the Expo,
sition awaiting inspection.
The display of pianos is in q measure
a feature entirely new and peculiar to
this Exposition. having for various rea-
sons been kept out of the hall for sew
], eral seasons. Now the sweet tones OF
! this, the most popular Of all instruments,
can be heard, from early noon till late at
: night, answering the fairy-like touch Of
the fair hands OF their still fairer visit
ors in the Ladies' Departments. Y.
On the north side of this department
will be found the pianos OF. Oil the Lead
. ing firms, the finest in the row being the
] firm OF Rudolph Wurlitzer 81 Bro, who
J exhibit. besides a handsome case OF mu-
! sical Instruments, several handsome Or
. pans and the celebrated Mathushek and
(, Arion pianos, the excellencies of which
are well known to the public, they hay
| ing stood the test OF years.
d. q. Baldwin Il Co. exhibit probably
+ the greatest variety and largest number
Of instruments OF any one, prominent
!. among which Is the Ohio Valley Grand
featured by the Ohio Valley Piano-F Forte
n Company. A double interest attaches
L to these instruments from the fact that
" they and the instrument OF the Ffaysel
), Piano-Forte Company Of Richmond are
b the only competitors for the silver media
/ offered for the best piano made in the
L West.
!: The Valley Gem piano is in every par
I ticular home production, and for this
8 reason is deserving OF more than pass
9 ing notice. All pianos up to within 1
t- few years were made in the East, adding
:. the additional expense OF freightinl
D timber from the West to the East, ant
the reshipping at heavy cost OF the in
|. struments, when completed, from thu
v East back to our Western cities.
n Western manufacturers were otslow
d to grasp this point, and to-day-we hav'
d several Of the largest firms IN the coun
ftry manufacturing Instruments In ever.
m way the, equals il not the superiors o
those Of Eastern make, turned out righ
h ct our doors and at a cost 81, fully one
N third less than those Of the Easter
ar firms, from the fact that living and con
sequently labor is cheaper with US.
,ff In the Ladies' Department are man,
ID articles OF interest. The display fcarV
