AT NIGHT.
Owing TO the failure of the electric
lights TO operate on the opening night,
thousands of persons were disappointed
and consequently afraid to venture out
last night There was no cause for ap-
prehension in this direction, however, for
everything worked without a bitch, and
the grounds as we'll as the buildings were
as well Illuminated as could be desired.
The evening musical programmes are
slways attractive, and as soon as re-
oues.ed stfeel-car connections have been
made, so that persons may go to ana
from the Exposition without being COM
pelled 10 walk several squares TO take
dummy train or car Doubtless many
ladies' with escorts will visit the building
after twilight
ELECTRICAL EXHIBIT.
The Electrical Department, under the
sureryision of Mr. w. III. Cole Of the
Virginia Electric Light and Power Com
panv. aad w. II. Thompson, consulting
electrician OF the Exposition, Is already
one Of the most attractive features. In
this department will be exhibited the
Edison improved pbonOgraDh and the
famous writing machine which trans
mits message in the handwriting OF the
sender: also numerous electrical metres
for testing illuminative capacity and cur
rents of electricity, with fountains and
numerous other displays. An incandes-
cent glove light will be exhibited, illumi-
mated in a globe filed with water Nu
