There are 600 stalls for cattle and every
stall occupied.
THE CHICKEN DEPARTMENT.
Is well arranged and fully represented.
Those who take An interest In fowls
will find it very interesting looking
over this collection.
THE RACE TRACK.
It cost the association $3.50 to be-
come members Of the National Track
A ISOLATION to begin with, and the
track was built under the direct SUPER
vision of member of the association
and according to the rules governing
it, and is pronounced to be one Of the
best tracks in the county. It certainly
looks it. The track and ground inside
is so level that by standing at any
point on the outside of the circle the
opposite side will appear yet little
higher. At any point the horse is in
sight Of the by-stander.
In fact, to sum 1t all up, everything
that came under the observation Of
your representative seemed almost per-
feet, or rather, it would seem hard to
improve upon 1t. $4,000 had been
expended to make 1t what 1t should
be, and what it is complete in all its
departments.
PERSONAL.
Your representative is under obi
cations to Mr.. Il. l.. Marsalis, the man
whose executive ability has proved so
beneficial to the association. and whose
indomitable energy has scaled all diff
culties; to Col. Simpson, whose calm
judgment and foresight have made.
many q hard road easy to travel in
these exposition times; to Mr.. w. II.
CASTOR, who is here and everywhere,
and always ready and eager to give
and help one out of his
troubles; to Secretary Smith, who has
the faculy Of settling a refractory ex-
hibitor SO nicely that the aforesaid ex-
hibitor is sorry he said anything; to
his aide-de-camp, Mr.. Claud Cour, Q
young man Of exceeding good parts.
and must not forget honest John
who is the hardest-worked
man, with the cheeriest face, on the
grounds; also j. G. st. John.
PRESS ROW.
1t is the intention Of the manage
mcnt to put up q row OF wall tents
north Of the exposition building for
The use Of the press of the city-a
place where the Bohemian can call
headquarters, and where he can trans.
act business for the paper he repre-
,ents.
PROGRAMME FOR TUESDAY.
TIE grand day, long looked for day,
will be ushered in with music, infan-
Try, artillery, and a grand display Of
bunting. There will be q procession

The educational bill which la

The educational bill which has
passed tile Senate of the United
States and which will soon be sub
mltted to the House OF Represen-
tatives tor theiractlon, it isthought,
will not pass that body, or if it does
at all with many important modifi-
cations. Even it should receive the
sanction Of the House in any form
it is said, that the President enter
tains doubts as to its constitution
atty and would perhaps defeat the
hill by his veto. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the prospects of the
Blair Bill becoming law and the
distribution of the surplus funds
laying idle in the treasury for ed.
ucational purposes throughout the
country, are by no means fattering.
Our lawgivers, it occurs to us, vic
late the constitution with too much
impunlty when it benefits them, to
be such sticklers when any a great
measures presented Which will ben
eft their constituents. OurSOlons in
their Judgment have the right to
squander the public money 70 en-
courage monoplies Of all kinds, by
which q few people are benefited
and no constitutional right is vic
lated, but they hold up their hands
in holy horror and prate about the
constitution, when laws are sought
to be enacted in which the great
mass of the people have an inter
est. 1t looks to us truly, as if leg
islators too often would strain ut a
gnat and swallow camel. it

Colored Men of Virginia Visit the
President.

Geo. w. Steward and John B
SyphaX, appointed as representa-
tives from a conference Of colored
Virginians, called at the White
House recently with a letter OF pre-.
sentation to the President from
Hon. Jro. w. Daniel. The follow.
ing address was read to the Presi-
dent.
"Mr. President, we desire to
bring to your attention afew points
of interest to the public and to
ourselves. We propose to foster
a spirit of confidence and mutual
cooperation between the white
and colored people of our State,
and through conventional action,
III the late canvass and ut the bal
lot box, we declared that none
should in the future mass our peo-
pie upon the prejudices of the past
simply to obtain Office and power.
The forces of Cancellation denied to
us by political builders of other
days have become the chief stone
in our structure, and we venture to
appeal to you for such aid as will
bury tile memory of Servitude, to.
gether with the memory of war, in
the depths Of the past. 1t is eur de-
sire that this movement shall ell
dure, and that other States ripe
for similar action may follow this
example; and re are confident that
a majority of tile good people of
the country will, remembering the
confusion and bitterness of the
past, endorserour effort to adjust in
natural way those relations so i'm
portant to all. We are very desir-
Gus, then, that such substantial en-.
couragement may be extended
through our representatives, or as
Your discretion may point out to
persons prominent in the patriotic
work indicated, as will stimulate
future action and disarm cur oppo-
nents of the charge that because
