THE EXPOSITION,

The attendance at the Exposition this
forenoon was not 80 large as heretofore,
owing, in all probability, to the disagree
able weather. Grand preparations are
being made for the flower display Of TO-
morrow. The Commissioners have
offered an additional premium of $50 for
the best fifteen pieces Of floral work
$50 for the tirst and $40 for the second.
Quite large number of entries have
been made so far, showing that there
will be a lively contest, especially be-
tween the leading florists. Sunderbruch
and Critchell are in the lead for the long
race for the sweepstakes medal, having
thus far distanced all competitors. The
former is now one premium ahead of
Critchell, and tomorrow will find both
Of them at the starting string, keen for
the race.
Critchell makes entries for the fifteen
pieces of floral work, Offering standing
pieces in the shape of crosses, anchors,
notices and the like instead Of 0ld-time
fiat pieces laid on pieces OF moss or
sand. For the best bridal bouquet he
offers a magnificent piece of fiat work, of
the most delicate and beautiful flowers,
said to be one OF the finest yet exhibited.
For the best vase of loose flowers the
entry will be vase from two and half
to three feet, by three or four feet high,
filled with the rarest Of flowers. This
one piece will cost upwards Of a hundred
dollars.
The best new design, however, will
excel anything before seen in Floral
Hall. A description Of this can not be
given, as it is for originality more than
anything else that the premiums are Of
fered, and the peculiar structure OF the
piece is kept profound secret.
Mr.. Sunderbruch enters for the fifteen
best pieces, numerous crosses, crowns,
anchors, baskets and the like, all OF
which will be new in design from any
heretofore displayed. For the best bri-
dal bouquet, best loose vase of cut flow
ers, and best new design, over fifty feet
Of table will be covered by this one dis
play.
Mr.. Knott only enters for the fifteen
best pieces, the bridal bouquets and the
loose vase.
The other displays will be, we are in
formed, superior to any former display
by the same parties.
There will be five concerts tomorrow
afternoon aud evening, which added to
the feast OF flowers will undoubtedly
attract one of the largest crowds of the
season.

| NOTES.
| Mr.. James III. Hooper, officer of the
day, reported for duty bright and early
this morning.
| The experts of Power Hall have
adopted a new method OF testing cutoff
engines: A table about ten feet long was
placed In one of the aisles this morning
carefully loaded with beet steak, hot
rolls, sandwiches, &C., &C., by the pro.
prietors of the st. Charles, and at given
signal the test begun. 1t lasted about
| twenty minutes, where others have oc.
cupied as many hours. 1t was
| very thorough; not a single dish
was sighted, and the automatic
cut-offs, that were gathered around that
table worked with rapidity thai
caused the bystanders to gasp with as
| constituent. Even the Mohawk
Dutohman had to take back
seat when the "Hilp' circular
saw began to get in its
work on one Of the St.
Charles Deefsteaks. Every ounce OF
meat and every drop of coffee consumed
| was weighed and measured accurately
and summed up as follows: Meat with
out the bone, 108 pounds; coffee, 8 gal
Ions. Mr.. Babbitt, superintendent of
