SECOND DAY.

SECOND DAY
How benignly Providence smiles upon the
virtuous! Another morning of exquisite love-
illness ushered in the second day of the EXPOSE
ton, and thus spoke in unmistakable language
its approval of the management, and it's su-
preme satisfaction with the fine display.
THE CITY
was filled to OVERLOOKING by the several excur-
sion trains which arrived during Monday after
noon and night, and as early as o'clock
Washington avenue presented gala appear
people and it's caravan of teams
hurrying hither and thither as intent upon
their various errands though the issues of
life and death depended upon being sudden.
THE HOTELS
(Which had each taken pains to secure addition
al room) wore filed comfortably, one and all,
though as yet are by no means crowded, while
hundreds of our best
PRIVATE RESIDENCES
have opened their doors and are cordially max
ing welcome the thousands of homeless wan
derers who come to the fair
ON THE GROUNDS.
There was but little stir until about 10
o'clock A. M, when the vast multitude surged
forward toward the grounds, utilizing every
possible means of conyeyance-str cars,
railway cars, omnibusses, hacks, buggies, car
rlages, horses, mules, -hOrses-and, in short,
every possible movable animal and vehicle
which could be hired, owned, rented, stolen or
improvised for the occasion. And even then
thousands sought the grounds upon the means
of locomotion with which nature had provided
them.
AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK
the various departments were teeming with
the hurrying, jostling crowds of super-heated
humanity. Writing now, at l o'clock P. M,
the GLOBE man forgets the delicious GOODNESS
OF the early morning, and is inclined to say
the weather is verywarm The notable feature,
however, and the decided improvement of
this over former exhibitions OF this
character is the freedom from dirt
and dust owing to the continual movement
of sprinkling carts to and fro among the diff
ferent departments.
CONSIDERABLE RARUS TALK
was INDUCED in during the day, and through
out the entire forenoon people who have not
carefully perused the excellent report of the
GLOBE could not be made to understand that
the noble old monarch was sure enough here.
But
THE GLOBE NEVER LIES,
and in our exposition report it was definitely
and distinctly stated that Rarus was on the
ground Monday evening.
THE GLOBE" OFFICE.
Throughout the entire day the GLOBE head
quarters. with It's cool and attractive portico,
and it's handsome end attractive corps of re-
porters and clerks, was patronized by crowds of
heated and tired humanity. All were made
welcome, SO far as the limited accommodations
would provide resting place, and no
thirsty gentleman lady left the de
lghtful shadow Of our vine and
fig tree without an offer of the inequalities
being rendered in the form of tin dipper
filled to the brim with cool and refreshing ice
water-the virtuous, temperate and harmless
beverage which alone lends tone and vigor to
the systems OF the GLOBE employees.
BY TILE way
Why is it that fair arrangements generally
overlook the fact that humanity is not made
of steel and whalebone, but of blood and
bone, nerve and muscle, and must have mo
ments of rest as well as hours of &C
tivity? This is the prelude to another ques-
ton: Why are there not places scattered here
sit beneath the shade and enjoy few mements
of rest! Gould the management have wit
messed how gratefully the limited accomn.oda-
tions furnished by the cool, airy portico of the
GLOBE structure were accepted yesterday by
hundreds of tired people, it would teach them
a lesson of humanity and mercy, and plead
with them for taking little expense from
show to please the eye, and putting it upon
seats and awnings to rest the limbs and shelter
money and strength to lend eclat to the EXPOSE
