THE DALLAS DISPLAY.
AN EXPOSITION FURNITURE SET.
a Most Elegant Speciality by the Ladies'
Auxiliary Society TO Be Shown
ut New Orlegns-SOme of
the pieces-A Letter.



1t is passing strange that every citizen
in Dallas does not patronize the cxhibi-
ton at the opera-house of the Exposition
furniture. Aside from tho fact that
everybody ought TO encourage and pat
ronize an exposition display is the
further fact that the furniture and
beauties displayed are beyond every
thing eyer seen in this city before in that
line.
The boudoir set was made by MIR. r.
Ellington, of Texas woods, and is GER
tainly one OF the handSomeSt ever seen
in this section. 1t consists Of four pieces:
first a table made OF siXty-five different
kinds OF wood; then q mantle-pieco Of
varied character, exquisite in design and
finish; then u cabinet, such as has never
in all Caudur been manufactured or
seen here before, and TWO or three
most elegant chairs, handsomely
cushioned and ornamented by Mrs. VIM.
McCutcheOh
ON the cabinet among other things
was most beautiful head, painted by
Miss Oracle leGke. 1t is truly an ar
tistc gem, and only reflects additional
credit ON this popular aud attractive
local artist
On the walls aud designed to grace the
Texas room at the exposition is also a
magnificent painting by Miss Lizzie May
Kellet, entitled "Una in tho Witch's
Hut" from Soencer's "taery Queen"
1t is most beautiful work of art, and
reflects great credit upon the talented
and beautiful young artist.
There is also most remarkably Gle
giant door, made by Messrs. Clark &
Clark, Of the Railroad planning mills. 1t
- ,ff A s,u tt,in
seen in Dallas.
The reporter noticed also a most salts
factory county map Of Dallas, gotten up
by the county surveyor and endorsed by
the president of the county exposition
society.
Such is the furniture and surround
ings of this Ladies' Auxiliary ENposi-
ton society. The room at the opera
house is open daily, from 9 u. m. TO ID
p. M, and the patronage, though good,
Is not such as to properly repay such
enterprise and outlay as these ladies
have been making. The cost has been
over $500, we understand, tor this Dallas
exhibit.
In this beautiful room was IN ex.
hibit Of run and preserves probably
never equal,cd before in this country
These elegant preserves are to be shown
Mt New Orleans, and viii doubtless es
tabllsh beyond controversy our ability
to furnish to the lublic the tiueSt pre-
serves in America. Among other things
may be mentioned several lars %
citron made by Mrs. Stith. There
were many varieties. There WERE
pears preserved in whole by Mrs. Dr.
Miller, one OF the most enthusiastic
workers ever known in the city, and
handsome collection Of Jelly from Mrs
Il. NJ. Atkins. The entire collection wa,
Indicative Of taste, talent and goo,
sense.
Prof. Wears pupils had some mos
beautiful specimens adjoining the walls
among which may be mentioned "Oi
the Trinity "Long's Lake" etc. Ais,
are many specimens from Mrs. Aldor
hOil's pupils. From the Nelson Ar
Gallery are many elegant contributions
Mrs. Dr. Johnson, by tho way, ha
some be ful Texas wild flowers OF
white ANA blue satin tides.
Indeed, the spOuialties are too uumer
Gus to particularize, and demonstrate
that Dallas has as much brillancy aut
talent as any city in the state or south
west
Too much credit cannot ho given t.
Mrs. Judge Henry. Mrs. Howard, Mrs
Atkins, Mrs. Alex. Sanger, Mrs. Dt
Miller, Mrs Montgomery, Mrs. Hewitt
and Mrs PtoutS, who are always Their
and determined that Dallas shall not b
behind any Texas city in the matter q
exhibits.
