EXPOSITION NOTES.
Yesterday was probably the most successful
Of any day ain % the Exposition. The races were
particularly good, the minor attractions did
well. while the Battle Of the Crater was executed
better than ever before. The gatemen said
that tho crowd was larger than heretofore, and
the people from The country rolled IN by thou
sands Tho Exposition seems TO grow more at
trsctive every day, and tho crowds are increasing
steadily.
Many persons have manifested interest IA the
roos.or-minstrels, ana several have inquired at
the DISPATCH booth when the performance would
begin. A reporter learned yesterday that the
ROSTERS were ell here. but the performance
would not begin until Monday next at II O'Clock,
tho show being repeated 10 ths Mnsic Hall every
thirty minutes during the day. IL IL said 10 b.
Drstclass minstrel-lrOupe Of its character, aud
doubtless u will give satisfaction.
Mr.. Jenn Wit2nan, who was recently hurt by
falling from the tgbt-rOpc at the Paris and
Commune" performance, has not sufficiently re-
covered from h.s Injuries 20 appear again to-
night, bat viii be az ms post Saturday night, aud
viii be welcomed by a host Of people who are ill.,
ter0sied In athletic feats.
ia the Poultry Hall all the fowls have been
judged, and the Ribbons, blue ana red, decorate
many Of the cOOUs. Large croWds are viewing
the different specimens and much interest is
manifested IN tnem.

CKowDs WITNESS THB BATTLE.
The "Bat,ie OF ths Crater" wac produced last
night nj tho xpOsiliOn-Grounds before an i'm
menso throng q people, who filled every avail
specta 10 could De Witnessed.
Fully 1900 persons watched the movements
Of the military, cheered the "Old Guard when
they made their famous charge, and RaZed in
breathless admiration at the magnificent pyr0-
technic displays In which the show closes. The
sodier boys who took part IN the performance
all did their duty well, and the great battle vas
almost fought over again ny the enthusiastic
participants In the afiay. Veterans who really
took part ~ the contest noar the COckado City
were delighted with the spectacle.
Dr. Nelson was odt with about 100 OF his girls
from the Richmond Female Institute, and per-
hapS none of the spectators enjoyed the realistic
production more than these young ladies. Ihere
Is general desire that the Battle OF the
Crater stall be repeated at least once more,
but 70 far as could be learned last night no sucn
arrangement has been made. The original IDEA
Was TO have II but three times and last nights
production was lie third. MIR. Ed. Hamilton Ca
hn deserves special credit Tor the excellent
mouuer in which the bsttle wa gotten up and
executed.
There were probably $4,000 people on the
grounds last night and the buildings were
tlrOngad until .ste hour. MOrriss Illusions
aud tue other spocialties drew large and we'll
pleased audiences.
