THE EXPOSITION.
Another Successful Day
And Large Attend
ance.
TWENTY five HUNDRED PEOPLE Es-
TINAIED As PRESENT.
Last Night of the wHa West.


inc of our Exposition prevsiled through
out the day Yesterday, and accordingly
abe attendance WAS the largest with one
or two exceptions since the opening.
The street cars were literally pa;ronized.
the Coney Island cars did paying bust
ness and :he numerous vehicles that
could be pressed into service were busily
engaged all during the day. New chance
giants and pastime wheels. and the like
continue TO arrive daily, and they were
kept busy yesterday entertaining
the preat crowds OF the
visitors on the grounds. Strangers are
visiting the city in large numbers, and
the attendance on the Exposition, es-
pecially during the past few days, com
prise large number of our friends from
the rural districts. Those who reside at
distance nj last have become convinced,
as is evidenced by their daily increase in
numbers, that the Exposition is not a
failure, but in every way equal, and, II
possible, superior 10 the most sanguine
expectations of the enterprising officers,
and that the graphic accounts given OF
its superior attractions and unequalled
exhibits by the daily papers are not ex-
aggeraied.
THE CATTLE DEPARTMENT.
Our country cousins take deep in
terest in the display of cattle, and this
department was visited 10y hundreds yes
terday. who were well pleased with the
fine specimens of the numerous grades
there exhibited. The Alderneys seem to
be a fayorite with every one, and this
grade especially is well worth the atten-
lion of dairymen and farmers.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PRESENT.
As usual. at an early hour yesterday
morning the visitors commenced coming
in the grounds ia multiplied numtcis,
and the prevalent expression before the
day had been half spent was that the al
tendance would exceed that Of any pre-
ceding dav. always excepting the 18Th OF
October. when the attendance largely
outnumbered that of the great opening
day. Nor were these spectators far
amiss for before the day was over the
attendance was literally estimated at
10000 persons, and with such an over,
flowing crowd it may be easily imagined
that the grounds presented an unusually
animated appearance.
The main building was at all times
during the day thronged with people
while the walkways on the outside were
crowded.
CONCERTS.
The concert in the afternoon was one
Of the best rendered since the arrival OF
Cappa's Band The concert solos by Mr.
Rogers delighted the large audience, and
he was highly appiauded and repeatedly
encord The march, oyerluies, duets
and uolkers were rendered with artistic
skill aud duly applauded by the apprecia-
live audience.
BATTLE or GETTYSBURG.
In the evening The Battle of Geitys-
burg was repeated by Cappa's Band as
sisted by four cannOns and companies
and b Of the First Regiment. AT the
hour for he performance to commence,
despite the other many attractions inst
are calculated to engage the attention OF
visitors, as well as our own people, the
hall was well filed and all Of the choice
seats occupied.
The piece was rendered in handsome
STYLE. the firing was on time, and the
whole programme was carried out more
beautifully than ever before. The nring
of the cannon adds much TO the ehecI
of the battle The military improve with
practice and grow in favor on acqualnt-
ance For the first week after their ar
rival here the attendance on their superb
renditions was limited 10 few hundred
persons; now on every performance The
number in attendance never fails 10 reach
nearly 900.
The following is the programme for
to-day
