ALLEN & GIETER's DISPLAY.
The Old Dominion has always since
the first permanent white settlement on
her soil, and long before the great Revo-
luton placed her, along with her sister
States, a free aud powerful Common
wealth, been noted for her climate favor
able TO the culture and production Of
tobacco.
Before railroads were known or the
wonderful power of steam was utilized
as a motive power tobacco was extern
siyely raised IN Virginia; il was received
by the Government in discharge Of all
taxes, leyies and demands in The DAYS
when shafts were attached 90 hOgsheads
OF the woods, TO which oxen were hitch
ed, and the whole concern rolled 10 mar
ket or tidewater shipping places. Now
that by her rapid transportation faciii-
ties the most remote Of her counties can
be reached in days ride, tobacco Cal,
be shipped to tidewater at small cost
from almost any part Of the State,
and her yearly export OF the
weed has steadily increased, and
her reputation for the prOdgciion OF
the best grades OF tobacco has become es-
tablished in every civilized county Of the
globe. Her wOrld-famed reputation is
greatly due TO the untiring efforts of her
many enlerprising firms who manufacture
tobacco, and OF these. the firm of Messrs.
Allen & Gnler stand among the fore
most. Their fayorite brands Straight
Cut and Virginia Brighis Cigarettes
can be found in every state OF the
Union, and, in fact, in every city OF the
globe.
The display Of this firm at the Exposi-
lion grows in interest the more it is
looked at The large Calling gun on the
top of the case is wonderful piece Of
work. aud is in every respect complete
and handsome Then on the wall Of the
driving house is a star in four pieces
brought out in fine leaf tobacco OF va
TiOus tints.
TIE artistic effect of the whole display
is superb, and the firm has spared no
cost in producing what is first class, and
they must feel great satisfaction IN know
ing that their exhibit is declared by com
peient judges the best thing OF tie kind
ever shown in the country.
Their plantation with growing tobacco,
the old fashioned well'and bucket, tObac-
co house. railroad track, tunnel and tele-
graph wires meets with encOniums from
The large crowds that are always 10 be
found around their display.
In the centre of this booth there is a
most costly and extensive upright ease OF
polished wood and plate glass, filled with
the most templingly arranged samples Of
the multiiudinous packages which repre-
sent their extensively used brands OF
ClthTtlltS.
Their beautiful steamship, fully rugged
and bounding over the tremendous waves
of fine.cut tobacco, is made entirely Of
cigarette and tobacco, and reflects much
credit on the exhibitors.
The huge pyramid Of Virginia Brights
about four feet high shows off to advan-
tage the fine quality of this noted brand.
The pound cakes of bright leaf tobacco
are very tempting, and were it not for
tie glass covering over them doubtless
would be cut into. The trouble and cX-
pense necessarily incurred by them in
their beautiful, artistic and ingenious ex-
hiblt will no doubt be repaid them four

APPEARANCE OF THIEVES AND PICK
POCKETS.
Until the present time one noticeable
feature of the Exposition has been the
sbsence of pickpockets and thieves. But
sometime during Sunday night the bar
room owned by Messrs. Doyle y hain,
ana their store-room was robbed Of "a
quantity Of cigars and 'lonics."
On reaching the grounds Yesterday
morning about : o'clock, Mr.. Doyle no
