MILLERS' EXHIBITION.
The Great Display at the Exposition
Building.

The opening exercises Of the Millers' Exposi-
tion took place yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of large audience. and at the close oil the
speech-makng the millers wandered through the
building to see the engines started, but Of the
tive monster engines only one was ready to start
These engines are situated in the west end OF
North Hal, and such collection Of great EN-
glnes has seldom been seen. They are 30 horse
power each and are named the 'Harris-Coriss,
Reynolds -Corliss," e Buckeye" Brown ana
"MheelOck."
These engines will be tested by experts at
cost OF several thousand dollars, and will be the
most thorough and cOmpl te eyer made, Inc
test Which Will last ten days, Will be prlnclpahy
fol the purpose of finding some new method OF
| economlzng coal aud running u grealer amount
OF machinery with less amount0t steam. -,
Next TO these are SIX or seven compete nils
showing every process of flour making from the
wheat to the complete flour. m0Dg these are
| the celebrated roller mills which have attracted
50 much attention during the psst lew wears
Instead OF grinding the wheat between stones
they crush II betweena series of rollers.
In the story above are allkinds OF grain Clean
ers, middlings purifiers and lighter machinery
| for use in mills of all grade and character, but
the maciAnery on this floor, the same as tnat on
| the first floor, is In rather chaotic state
Only ope OF the engines is yetready for opera
| tion, butas the mills aud other machinery are
also in an unfinished condition, there Will prona-

bustling activity all through the hall, however

Mechanics by the score are fitting shafts pullies
steam pipes and belts and putting finishing
touches on their great displays. The piles of
wheels, bolts, rods, etc., when now MI
the isles and the vacant places
are being fast put into place, and the
visitors, who were somewhat disappointed to-day
in notfnding everything in complete operation.
Will be gratfed IN one OR two more DAYS at the
farthest in witnessing the wOrkin OF the greatest
variety of mill machinery ever put on exhi pitlon
| Much tau be Seen, however, even at this early
day, and is well worth visit.
Here the milling processes used in different
parts of this continent and nearly all the coun-
tries of the old world are brought together and
will be tested side by side The relative merits OF
1 the new roller mills and old run OF stones can
here be saen
The new milling process will be compared with
the OLD. The recent patents on middlings puri-

in tie front rooms OF Power Hall, which were
filled during the Exposition with groceries and
provisions. are now occupied with displays OF
paper sacks, lubricating oils, cases OF tolting-
cloth. and the like, but the arrangement OF these
goods is also still uncomDeted.
The long room back OF Music Hall. which was
built for the occasion. is filled with betting, sieyes

between Power Hall and Floral Hall. Inthis
latter hall the display is OF different character.
BY the side of the grotto and splashiDg cascade
stands straw thatched mill with a moss-coveFed
overshot wheel, VIII ich is run by stream OF water
carried to its buckets by wooden chute.
West of the millis the Vienna oven, which 1t
will require several more deys to heat, but, as
soon 1t is once heated it will require but little
more fire for month. fulEview can be OBJ
tained of the bakers by looking through the win
dows, which have been erected to prevent visitors
from crowding against the oven.
North of the mill is a large display of stoves
and ovens, and in the East end OF the hall can be
found a large collection of small implements,
such as TOOLS scales, etc and in the west part OF
the hall is therestaurant
On the second floor is the display of all kinds
and qualities Lt -four and gfan both in sacks and
barrels before and after it is ready for market.
These are but the impressl lons received by hasty
glance, while passing through the Exhibition,
but to learn the science 'of milling and under
stand the improvements made in this depart
me mt of Industry since the days of wooden water
wheels would require long and careful exam
inatlon of the various exhibits.
Y The exhibition Is being made at q great ex.
pense, and some firms are spending thousands OF
dollars to make their displays complete, and
when we consider that the leading millers of
the world, with the best machinery in existence
are present, the importance OF the occasion can
tbeunderstoOd.
