EXHIBITS GROWING.
Art, Music and Flowers Console for
the Absence of Machinery.
THE LATTER WILL SOON WHlRR.
A Moist Hot Day Was Not Conducive to a
Very Large Attendance.
TIE OUTLYING COUNTRY ON THE MOVE

People who attended the Exposition yes
terday found it very pleasant place to
spend few hours, but some were disposed
to grumble on account of chloride of lime
being placed on the stairway. Noses disa-
greed, however, and some said the odor
was from the tanbark in the floral depart.
ment. 1t seemed to be largely question Of
nose, as some people said they enjoyed the
odor.
The attendance was not large, probably
owing to the preference of many to witness
machinery exhibits, which still show more
of promise than performance. 1t is proba-
BILE that exhibitors are doing the best they
can, as it isn't likely they would care to pay
for space unoccupied. 1t will be a fine dis
play when launched.
In the meantime most people find solace
in the floral and artistic departments. The
lights were better in the art gallery last
night, and lovers of paintings enjoyed them
selves. Those who had little or no art ap-
probation found enjoyment in the displays
made by the mercantile houses, foundries,
etc.
GOOD NIGHT FOR CABMEN.
The weather, capricious az q 16-year.old
maiden, was a drawback, but it put shekels
into the pockets of cab proprietors abo out 10
o'clock last night.
The railway companies tickets last night
showed that the influx from the country
had begun. This should be a sufficient
hint for exhibitors to hurry up their cakes,
as this is one of the principal things to be
desired.
The Great Western Band was resplendent
in its new uniform.
The war between the official and non-ofi-
cial programme companies continues with
non-abated fervor. Last night the non-ofi-
cial representatives were fred from the
steps of the building into the street.
To-day's musical programme of the Great
Western band is:

SOME CURIOUS EXHIBITS.
Outside of the Art Gallery, the exhibit
which attracts the greatest attention by Wis
itors is the Edison phonograph display. 1t
is in charge of Mr.. Browning, sent here
from Menlo Park. During the past two
evenings the crowd has been so great around
the stand that the iron rail was almost
broken down. A double railing will be put
up to-day. The men in charge have a num-
ber of cylinders containing band and piano
music which are ground out for the edifca-
tion of the curious.
At the booth of the Brunswick Bake
Collender Company there is shown an ivory
ball. nearly five inches in diameter, which
was made from an elephants tusk weighing
685 pounds. The weight OF an average tusk
is about 20 pounds. This ball is decidedly
too big for even Schaefer or Slosson to man
age.
In the Art Gallery yesterday afternoon
the electric lights were shut off for some
time. This was caused by the change from
the arc to the incandescent lights, the latter
being now in operation. The new light
system is great improvement and supplies
all that could be wished to perfect the art
exhibit.
There are two things that fail to material
ize, both being for the benefit of the Ex-
position. the Pennsylvania Railroad switch
and the Second avenue street cars. Both
would have benefited the Exposition had
they been put in condition.
On Wednesday night over $500 was taken
in from the sale of tickets, besides the num-
Der who came in on excursion tickets. 1t
is safe to say that there were $500 people
who paid Tor admission, while the number
who passed through the turnstiles was about
5000.
