no better was ever put up. The dis
play of cattle is astonishing to the Wis
itors. They are the finest grades
known, and are perfect beauties. The
600 stalls prepared for them are all oc-
cupied.
A gentleman came to Judge Dill yes
terday for stall for race horse. The
judge told him he could not give him
one; every stall was taken. This |. us
trates how complete the fair is. Every
thing else is in like manner filed TO
overlooking.
The 10000 to 10000 visitors daily are
entertained to their entire satisfaction
day and night. The management has
been able to supply every gap with at
fractions, and every one is in praise of
the offices and exhibits. Messrs.
Simpson, Marsalis, Smith, Gas
ton and other officers are
congratulated hundreds of times a
day upon their magnificent success,
and as each day comes and goes the
attractions and crowds are greater and
more interesting.
The Exposition still continues to
look like fairy land; the exhibitors
each day add some new feature to
their display, which adds to its beauty.
THE LOG CABIN.
Passing down the left aisle in this
building, at the lower or NORTH end of
the hall, you see packed crowd of
men and women. You hurry forward
to see what is the attraction and you
find it. 1t is log cabin built of round
logs, unevenly cut, and placed in posi-
ton irregularly. Ii has stick and
mud chimney, which has the veritable
old-time lean towards the cutters. Its
door, of course, is exceedingly mar
row. 1t is embellished with gourds:
coon and 'possum skins are drying on
its roof; there are chips, an old ladder,
hen coop, etc, scattared all around
on the ground in n pro-
miscuous manner. 1t is enclosed with
an old fashioned rail fence, inside of
which artificial tobacco plants are plac-
ed to represent tobacco culture, from
the house to the fence is placed rail,
on which long leaf tobacco going
through the curing process. There is
live coon tied to the fence, and live
negro, who looks about as old and d.
lapidated as the log cabin. This is to
represent negro cabin and tobacco
raising as it is in many portions Of the
country by negroes. 1t is attractive
not for its beauty but because it is
true TO nature. The contrast between
this rude habitation and the beauty,
and grandeur surrounding it,
only serves to show off the log cabin
to better advantage. The construc-
ton of this is the work of Mr.. Morey,
who is the representative of Liggett & |
Myers, of st. Louis, tobacco manufac-
turers This well known firm and |
their brands oftobacco are worldwide |
and gaining in popularity each |
lay. Mr.. Morey their travelling sales |
man enjoys degree of popularity
with the trade seldom reached by sales
men. The celebrated brands of to-
)acco this firm manufactures is de-
'ervedly popular, they are the finest in
he market. Ii is not worth our while
@ call attention to visitors to this ex-
libit, it is attraction sufficient in itself.

To-day was the dav set apart for
he grand opening of Machinery Hall.
Meine's Band took its position i'm

)aratus, which attracts so much at

The big engine was started and the

Without break or balk. Ladies

gas crowded with people all pay, but
lowhere did they find so much in
crest as at Mr.. Meikle's "Model
'arm." which is run by steam. 1t is
ircular and revolves; on the outer
dye is trough of water running the
ircle, which is about ten inches
vide, with several inches of water;
n this trough are miniature steam
oats constantly in motion. Inside
f this is the farm, on which
