CINCINNATI, o., May 12.-Tho first full day Of
tho festival has come and gonc, and the night
cloHea upon another aucceBg. Tho Influx OF
FttAngors to tho city from ali quartors to-day
has bcen very large, aud tho streets aro 90
s,rongea that iocomotion III matter Of soms
difficulty. A tho hoads of this vast crowd arc
nearly all pointed the samo may,--that IL, to-
wards tho Exposition Butldiug.-it augurs veil
for tho Ananoial succoss Of this great UNDER
taking. As to tho mualcal succoss. there " nttla
doubt, for "our chorus" ~ the Cncinpasians
fondIy call their singers, will look
aftor that. They have already woathcscd the
worst dangers, and now bare comparatively
smooth aa!ling In tho waters Of MendelssoEn,
Bacll, Beethoven, and 1iszt. The best financial
outlook reported Is that, rllla tho oxponasa Of
tle festival all told nro 100000.
THE nANK ACCOUNT
shows alscAdy nearly SO, 0u0, 30 that thero in
evory probability. not only thxt they will meet
this c1pcnse, but have = hautlaomo little hum
over Al ncst:egg for future work.
The decorations Of the city arc
completed, aud In this bright. beautiful,
woasbcr they have most charming effect
There Ia hardly hovol 80 poor or storo 10
small that does not have ita ngs fiy1ug, and tho
Sum total OF them is legion. The BtAr.SpnnRled
Banner Of diminitive proportions wayen from al
most overy window in the city, evon out to the
elegant villas OF Clifton, and Tho Rtroets ara
gsdlcd from building 10 building with hugo
'laEs, Tyres, and eulblematlc designs of ali de-
hcriptions. Tho locomotives, the steamers on
tho river, tho lazy canal boats on the "Khine,"
and tho lazier mulos on the Nurse cars, fy The
lag Of the froo.
THE NEXT FEATURE
Of tho general enthusiasm will be m iiiunina-
ton, which will probably take p!acs Friday even-
Ing, I'll Of which shows that Cincinnati Ia proud
Of tour chorus" and liz work from m ert point
Of view, and has An eye to tho rnatn chsucs from
q lucro point Of ylew. Tho e1erciaea
TO-DAY

naas Of 1 regular evening concert, tho iustru-
mental numbors being Bsothovep's "Leouora'
overture No, 2; the dainty nnd melodlous
hohorzo from, Mcnde1ssohn'a "Retormation
symphony"; the quaint and char aoterstio ''IIu,-
Eariau Dances" so brilliantly act by Dr.hms
aud forming most atrikine contrast with tho
maRsvoaoss aud tnsttcaclea Of his "Triumph-
loid"; tho oyerturea to '.Taunhauast aud
William Toll" and "Gounol's Meditation"
not for tbs Tiolins with English horn obilgAto.
