IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1rrxr ,

{ Buffalo May 2-This. the second dav y, ,b.
Pan-American Exposition. will have to be SET
down as ralher oull one. Reaction after the
opening oaY could scarcely be assigned as the
reason. because according the laws Of phvsic.i
soreness. reaction is equal TO action and tba o+,
OF yesterday vas not violent enough 10 occasion
any undue lethargy to-day. The fact IS thar the
Exposition although it is going 10 be a big and
interesting and beneficial affair when the time
comes. has opened quietly and rnodest1,, p-,-or,.
body knows that things are not altogether ready
yet. A certain mark made on the calendar
and on one size OF IL was written, THE Exposition
IS not open" and on the other side was written
'The Exposition is open" In reality eyerybodv
knows and nobody denies that the state Of
ton still continues. There was tiny furry yes
terday because the mark on the calendar was
reached To-day the furry is over there is no
more excitement and nothing is going on except
progress.
But progress is certainly TO be noted good
judge Of the progress OF the fair seems to be the
condition or the walking. Every day the weather
has less power to make a visit 10 the Exposition
grounds a Joy a misery. The weather to-day
was showery. a genuine remnant left over from the
lately departed April But the walking about the
grounds was no worse than last Monday, which
counted dry day. That was because so much
pavement had been laid since then and so much
rubbish cleaned away. An equal progress has been
made indoors. Actors say that one performance is
worth ten rehearsals. and some such rule doubtless
applies here. One day with the fair open IS worth
ten WIN II ctOSed Last MONDAY ana TUESDAY
nobody cared how the fair looked. 1t supposed
10 be closed. and IL visitors came they
their own responsibility Now the fair is open the
exhibitors feel that they responsible for not
being ready and they all hurrying 10 he ready.
The difference Of feeling is manifest everywhere.
Hinder this Inspiration the work is going with
leaps and bounds. In all the buildings exhibits
which invisible on the day before the opening
have now a settled air, II they had really come
70 stay About half the shows in the Midway arc
he r,yhli mo- has been
discovered completed. But the principle seems to
be If you cannot show what you like. show what
you can"
One OF the prettiest features Of the exposition to-
DAY was the carnation show. in the Horticultural
Building II not a large show but there were
several fne displays Of beautiful varieties. and II
was proved that the Lawson is not the only big
carnation. The which seemed 10 attract most
attention was called the Enquirer 1t came from
Cincinnati, and is named after the newspaper or
the same title. II is huge pink flower more re-
narkabie for size than for beauty OF color.
. The commission from Porto Rico arrived at the
fair this morning and is attending to the installa-
ton OF its exhibit, which it is expected will be
ready IN about a week. The work OF placing the
organ in the Temple OF Music began this morning.
1t big organ and il is said 10 be fine one, and
It viii take considerable number Of days 10 set It
up II is confidently expected that its tones can be
heard on dedication day. May %. Frederick K.
Archer, OF Pittsburg viii play IL then.
It is promised that the electric fountains will be
displayed the first time next Monday. It is said
that they are to eclipse anything OF the kind
hitherto seen. The electric fountains were one OF
the wonders OF the Chicago fair and II is said that
these will surpass them. II is quite possible, for
improvements are easier 10 make than new inven-
tons II they worthy OF the rest OF the evening
display at the exposition they Will surely repay
any little trouble that may be taken TO them.
