FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE INSIDE THE

' DAY IN DETAIL—TO
DAY’S PROGRAM.
Over 15,000 people inside the gates.
That was the record yesterday.
The great show gets better and better
ever day, and the crowd gets larger and
larger. The people appreciate a good
show, and when they find oat that one is
going on they just will see it. They can’t
be kept away.
livery train that came in Sunday and
yesterday was crowded with people
from all parts of the country, and a large
number of visitors came in on the boats
from landings along the river.
It was estimated last night that there
were 10,000 strangers in the city, all at
tracted here by the great show. There will
be more than twice that number of strangers
in the city today and tomorrow. If the
weather continues fair today and tomor
row it is estimated that there will be thirty
thousand visitors in the city by Wednes
day night.
The Exposition is a magnificent success.
That is what everyone who has seen it
says.

breath than any other piano we know
The only favor asked for them is critical
examination.

pianos and organs.

What is more pleasant than to bathe the
face, hands and neck after a warm walk
with Shepard's B. B. Cologne,
yesterday’s great program at the
EXPOSITION.
Yesterday was Bicycle Day at the Expo
sition.
The bicycle races were a grand success,
and were witnessed by a ver^ large and
enthusiastic crowd. The races were hotly
contested and were enjoyed very much.

Then came the half mile dash, which
was won by Frank Bell. Time 1:50J.
J. H. Polhill was a good second.
Third race was a three-quarter mile
dash, which was won by J. H. Polhill in
the magnificent time of 1:36. Mr. Bell
was a splendid second, crossing the tape
only a foot behind. The time in this race
lowers'the American record for that dis
tance, and will stand as a record for some
time to come.
Fourth race, mile, State championship,
ordinary, was won by Mr. Polhill, Mr.
Vaughn, of Griffin, second. Time 3:22.

championship; won by J. H. Polhill.
Time 3:51. Sharpe was a good second,

won by Mr. Bell. Time 6:10. Polhill
second.
The tenth race was the consolation
race for defeated riders. It was won by
Mr. Treadaway. Time 4:13$. Cason

BRIEF SKETCHES OF RIDERS.
J. H. Polhill.—Mr. Polhill is a Colum
bus man; is at present a druggist near
Rose Hill. He commenced racing in 1880,
and has since made himself well known
by his fast riding. He is very light weight,
and has been training for some time and
appeared to be in fine racing condition.
He holds the professional record for the
South, and has ridden a mile in 2:52. He
was recently declared an amateur by the
League of American Wheelman, which
body controls all the races. He was ap
pointed manager of the races by the Ex
position, and it is due to his untiring
efforts that the meat yesterday was such
a pleasant success.
T. L. Ingram.—Everybody knows Mr.
Ingram. He held the State championship
from 1884 to 1888, and everybody in Co
lumbus knows the victories he has won.
He holds the amateur record of the South
for the mile at 3:01. Mr. Ingram lias
been sick with rheumatism for two months
past, and has done no training, and it was
feared he would be unable to appear in the
race. Mr. Ingram has never known de
feat.
George W. Mooney, of Birmingham.—
Mr. Mooney won the championship of
Covantry, England, in 1880, and rode the
first racing wheel ever built in that race.
The machine had a double backbone and
weighed thirty-seven pounds. Mr. Mooney
was well known in England, and is an old
timer and a good rider.
Mr. E. C. Harker, of Augusta, has been
eminently successful in all his races, and
is a hustler.
F. M. Bell, of Montgomery, Ala., is the
only rider in the South, East or West who
ever broke a world’s record. On April 8th
last, at Montgomery, he succeeded in low
ering the world’s record for the quarter
mile from 35 3-5 seconds (W. A. Kowe at
Springfield, 1886,) to 32 seconds, which is
the fastest spurt ever made on any kind of
bicycle. He 7 holds the southern record
for the half mile at 1:184. He defeated
William T. and Thomas E. Robertson, of
Washington, D. C., at Birmingham, Octo
ber 23 and 25, 1890. At the same meet
he won the Alabama State championship,
and in doing it lowered the State record
six seconds. Mr. Bell was in good condi
tion, and a favorite in the races. The
racing bicycle he rode is the lightest bicyc
le in the world, and was used by W. A.
Kowe, when he lowered the world’s record
from J mile to 25 miles, inclusive, at
Springfield, Mass., October, 1886.
Mr." W. F. Treadaway, of Meridian,
Miss., is a novice, and yesterday made his
first race.
Mr. J. F. Cason, of Augusta, is also a
novice but he did some good riding in the
contest.
Mr. Ed. Munn is well known in Colum
bus and had the best wishes of his many
friends for good luck in his first race.
Mr. Louis Sharp is also a novice in rac
ing circles and handled his machine ad
mirably and contests the results of the race
gracefully.
THE RACES YESTERDAY.
The first 'pacing race of the meeting
came off yesterday afternoon. The race was
2:23 classs, best three in five, purse, 8250.
Iu the first heat Addie C won, Roanoke
second. Time, 2:39. The Flyers came
under the string in the same order in the
second heat. Time, 2:36.
Addie C. also won the third heat and
the race, but had to fight Little Ben hard
on the home stretch. The time in this
heat was 2:32.
The second race was running, mile dash;
purse $200.
Eatontown, Claymore, Burch and Inso
lence were entered for this race. Eaton
town won, Burch second; time 1:43£.
LIVE STOCK DEPARTMENT.
SOME OF THE MOST NOTED HERDS IN
THE COUNTRY HEBE.
The live stock department of the Expo
sition came in for a good share of at
tention and prise yesterday.
Some of the most noted herds in the
country are to be see in this department.
The La Veta Jersey Catttle Campany,
of Topeka, Kansas, exhibits a herd .of
fifteen Stoke-Pogis cattle.
The finest cow in the the herd has a re
cord of twenty-seven pounds and two
ounces of butter in seven day. Another
cow, in/the herd, has a record of twenty-
four pounds and fourteen and a half
ounces in seven days. The herd is a
fine one, and atttacts.general admiration.
Some of the animals in , the herd are
among the most noted priip winners in
America.
Mr. J. P. Shenrock, of Shenrock, Erie
county, Ohio, has a magnificent herd of 25
black Polled Aberdeen-Angus cattle, one of
the prettiest and finest breeds in the world.
George Dillon, of Macon, exhibits a herd
of seven Jerseys, among them several prize
winners at the recent State fair at Macon.
Mr. W. M. Lmdsy, of New Jersey, ex
hibits 18 Gurnseys, Angora goats and
Yorkshire and Essex pigs.
Mr. George P. Young, Jr., exhibits some
fine Jerseys, Berkshire pigs and Georgia
ponies.
Mr. George Findlater has a fine Jersey
bull on exhibition.
Master Frank Garrard comes to the
front with a beautiful pair of Guernseys.
The Bullock county colt show makes a
magnificent showing. There are 33 Bul
lock county raised colts in the show,
a good many of which are owned by Mr.
Homer Dudley, of Union Springs, and Mr.
J. B. Banks, of Guerryton. The colts are
beauties. Perhaps the prettiest one in
the lot is owned by Mr. Dudley. This
animal is two years old, and has a record
of a mile in 2:30.
THE TALBOT COUNTY EXHIBIT.
Among the many attractive exhibits
that of old Talbot stands out like the
Pleiades, brilliant, and to be seen from
afar. Two years ago there was quite a
rivalry between Hancock and Talbot, and
each county was eager to secure the two
special artists, Messrs. Frank Burnett and
Sid Shrivers, to whom is largely due the
splendid artistic display and arrangement
of tne Talbot county exhibit. Col. J. B.
Gorman, with his wonted vim, energy and
get-there, even if he has to make a trip—
like Nellie Bly around the world to do it—
secured the services of Messrs. Burnett and
Shivers, delivered them the goods, and
they did the work.
This exhibit is worth careful investiga
tion and study. Ceres tosses her head
and shakes golden grain from tangled
locks. All manner of products of the
farm—fruits, grain, melons, meats, many
kinds of wood—are all skilfully and har
moniously blended in a smooth and win
some picture. There is au expressive lit
tle joke, of the architects surmounting the
bales of hay: A stuffed manakiu of a black
negro holds on his shoulder a fresh and
genuine watermelon, while a flask of
whisky peeps approvingly and temptingly
from his shirt front. The Enquirer-Sun
felicitates the county of Talbot on her per
fect exhibit.
A CONGESS OF BEAUTY.
CHAPPELL COLLEGE AT THE EXPOSITION
YESTERDAY.
One of the most interesting spectacles
witnessed at the Exposition grounds yes
terday was the procession of 170 girls and
young ladies, pupils of Chappell Female
College, who visited the grounds in a body.
At 10 o’clock the school took the spe
cial dummy provided for them at the
asylum comer and were soon whirled to
the grounds where they disembarked in
front of the main entrance. There they
were formed in line, two and two, and un
der the guidance of their teachers were
marched to the grand stand. As they
passed through the grounds they attracted
universal attention and admiration. They
marched with the grace and regularity of
trained soldiers, and thetr entire deport
ment was simply perfect. A handsome,
more distinguished looking, better behaved
set of school or college girls was never seen
in Georgia or anywhere else. President
Chappell has every reason to be proud of
his college and all Columbus is proud of it.
After remaining at the grand stand for an
hour or two watching the bicycle races,
the girls were permitted to scatter and en
joy themselves as they pleased for the rest
of the day. It is needless to say that they
made the most of the opportunity. All
day long their bright and happy faces
could be seen in groups throughout the
buildings and grounds. It was truly a gala
day for them, and the Exposition never
had a more appreciative, enthusiastic set
of visitors.

EXPOSITION NOTES.
Senator Alfred H. Colquitt was among
the distinguished visitors at the Exposi
tion yesterday. Senator Colquitt pro
nounced the Exposition one of the finest
he had ever seen.
Decidedly the most enjoyable event of
the day was the instrumental music fur
nished by Mrs. Barbary at J. W. Pease’s
Son’s exhibit. The piano used was the
celebrated $1,000 Knabe.
The Hatcher Iron Wagon Company has
a fine exhibit on hand, covering one-half
of the space in the building sonth of ma
chinery hall.
Mr. Couden or Mr. Tabor, on Red Men’s
day at the Exposition, in the main build
ing, blindfolded, will paint a card with the
left hand (the right hand tied behind the
back) better than any painter at the Expo
sition, or forfeit $10 to some charitable in
stitution which the Exposition directors
will name.
Mr. Thad Parker, .the restaurant man,
had his hands full yesterday. Hundreds
of dinners were served at the restaurant.
The big horse is one of the most inter
esting sights to be seen on the Exposition
grounds.
Probably the finest collection of crayon
and photographic portraits ever exhibited
in Columbus is that of Mr. Alpha A. Wil
liams in the main building. Mr. Williams
has a wide reputation for elegant work,
and these pictures are truly artistic. They
are not exhibition pictures, but a sample
of Mr. Williams’ every day kind of work,
the same that he gives all his customers.
The large portraits of Col. John Peabody,
Mr. M. M. Moore, Captain Edwaad Shep-
here and other prominent citizens are true
to life, and reflect credit on Mr. Williams'
integrity as an artist. It goes without the
saying that he will capture everything in
the way of prizes he is entered for.
Col. Bob Flournoy, of Russell county,
exhibited a Mexican ground pea yesterday.
This variety is worth over $1.00 per peck,
and produces as high as 100,000 bushels
per a< ra.
Wall & Chase’s magnificent piano and
organ exhibit continues as popular as ever.
Merit wins, and when the people hear the
music from the sweet toned Decker Bros.,
piano they instantly acknowledge it to be
the leader. Their Estey piano and organ
exhibit is meritorious, too, but these in-
strumeuts are standard, and need no com
mendation. Thep speak for themselves.
Taken altogether, the exhibit is the hand
somest in the main building.
Mr. G. Hardman has a very fine exhibit
of scroll work, consisting of brackets, cor
ner brackets, wall pockets, etc. There is
some delicate work in the collection and
the exhibit attracts a great deal of atten
tion.
The crowd was large, yesterday and the
Little World could scarcely accommodate
the many visitors. This is certainly the most
wonderful of the many things on exhibi
tion.
A telegram was received from Hon. T.
H. Kimbrough, Master of the State Grange,
yesterday, stating that he would reach the
city from Atlanta with a large party of
Grangers from all parts of the coun
try at 11:30 o’clock this morning.
The Grangers are in Atlanta for the pur
pose of attending a meeting of the Na
tional Grange. Mr. Kimbrough is one of
the Yice-Presidents of the Exposition and
has succeeded in getting a large number
of Grangers to visit Columbus.
The Little World did a fine business yes
terday
The cut flower show opens today, and
the chrysanthemum show opens at noon
tomorrow. A large number of entries
have been made and lovers of flowers will
have an opportunity of witnessing a fine
display of the most beautiful cut flowers
and chrysanthemums ever exhibited in the
South.
Every housekeeper should avail herself
of the opportunity to get a trial package
of that wonderful cleanser, Pyle’s Pearline.
The Peariine people have an elegant ex
hibit in the main building. This prepara
tion is widely known and use!, and is bet
ter than soap. It makes washing easy and
saves the wear And tear of clothes in wasb-
ing by the old methods. It is the pioneer
in its line, as is evidenced by the many im
itations now peddled through the country
with somewhat similar ngmes.
L. H. Filene, the lightning artistic glass
engraver from the World’s Fair city, en
graves any name on a glass in from six to
forty seconds. He is the fastest engraver
in the world.
Mr. J. C. Weaver, manager for Talbott
& Sons, returned to Macon yesterday.
Mr. C. B. Colbert, the little fat man, has
charge of the Talbott exhibit.
Everybody says the Little World will
take the blue ribbon.
THE POULTRY DEPARTMENT.
IT WILL BE THROWN OPEN TO THE PUB
LIC THIS MORNING.
The poultry department of the Exposi
tion that will open to the public this morn
ing, certainly contains one of the largest
and finest displays of poultry, pigeons and
pet stocks ever before seen in the South,
and great credit Is due to the energetic ef
forts and unceasing work of Dr. T. W.
Tuggle, who has this department of the
Great Exposition in charge.
The entries number over fifteen hundred
head of pure bred fancy poultry and pig
eons. The two expert judges, Mr. P.
H. Scudder and Mr. George E. Peer, both
of New York State, will find their task a
most difficult one in awarding the prem
iums, as the birds exhibited are of unusual
excellence.
Among the largest exhibitors of poultry
are Brown & Wadley, of Bolingbrook,
Ga.; George E. Stevenson, of New Jersey;
Magnolia Poultry Yards, Columbus, Ga.;
Dr. S. J. Wylie, of Columbus, Ohio; T. F.
Rackham, East Orange, N. J.; J. F. Rice,
Maryland; H. W. Slappey, Butler, Ga ;
Dr. T. W. Tuggle, Columbus, Ga.; Wil
liam K. Schley, Georgia; B. T. Smith,
Riverview, Ala.; G. W. Layfield, Colum
bus; Queen City Poultry Yards (Bedell
Bros., proprietors), Columbus, Ga., and
many others whose entries are not quite
so large.
One of the greatest attractions is the
magnificent display of “incubators,” in
fall running operation, hatching out live
chickens by the hundred. These are
owned and exhibited by the Magnolia
Poultry Farm (Smith * Tuggle, proprie
tors), and are carefully operated and under
the eye of their veteran manager, Mr.* E.
Yonng, and it is doubtful if a more suc
cessful incubator man can be found in
America today than Mr. Young. All who
are interested in seeing chickens hatched
out by steam should take in this feature of
the Exposition.
. The pigeons are also worth a day’s jour
ney to see. Mr. D. E. Newell, of New
York city, has sent on some of his grand
carriers and Barbs.
Samuel Cassedav, of Louisville, has his
Jacobins, Owls and Fans here in numbers.
R. A. Paschall, of Geneva, Ga., comes
out with a string of Fantails, Quakers,
Owls, etc.
George E. Stevenson and Brown &
Wadley, who both are large exhibitors in
the poultry classes, also show some grand
pigeons.
Manrice Koehne and Frank Girard,
both of Columbus, have a superb lot of
Tumblers, Magpipes, etc.
But the features of the Pigeon Depart
ment is the grand collection of Fantails
and Jacobins owned and exhibited by Dr.
T. W. Tuggle, among which are many
birds worth over $100 each.
The Queen City Poultry Yards also show
some extra fine birds in fantails, swallows,
trumpeters, etc.
Mr. B. T. Smith, who is one of the large
poultry exhibitors from Riverview, Ala.,
also shows pigeons that will surely do their
share of winning.
All lovers of poultry, pigeons and pet
stock should go to the Exposition and see
for themselves. Today the judges will
commence awarding their premiums and
by tomorrow night the prize winners will
be known.
PERSONAL CHAT
MERCHANT’S DAY.
THE BED LETTER DAY* FOR VISITING
MERCHANTS.
Columbus today belongs to the hun
dreds of merchants who are her invited
guests, and the crowds at Exposition park
will be largely made up of solid merchants
and their best friends the drummers of
Columbus.
The program offered by the Exposition
management will be especially attractive
today. Of course the fine racing, begin
ning at 2 p. m., will be a drawing card in
today’s program, and a very attractive fea
ture will be the gentleman’s Roadster Race
to carts. The Peek Combination will
again give one of their thrilling perform
ances, including the wonderful feat of
riding two horses, standing with one foot
on each, by Miss Myrtie Peek, who makes
the race in the marvelous time of 1:15.
Children will also drive the Shetland
ponies in chariot races. The trottin
dog Doc will also figure in the program.
Promptly at noon the poultry and
pigeon and pet stock show will be thrown
open to the public. All remember the
magnificent display of poultry at the last
Exposition, but the display of to today
will far surpass it, and will be unquestion
ably the grmdes display ever seen South of
Washington. The blue ribbons will be
in place, and all can can see thewinning
birds.
today’s racing program.

An Oversight.—While so much praise
is being lavished on the beautiful Calen
berg & Vaupel Grand Piano at the Exposi
tion little has been said about the wonderful
little “Bijou”of the same make. Here surely
is a “great soul in a little body.” It has
more beauty of tone and more power than
the baby grands of most makers. For small
apartments or small purses, this instru
ment is without a competitor. To appre
ciate the “Little Giant” you should hear it
and play upon it.
Mr. John W. Tabor, a Georgia boy, add
the fastest show card painter in America,

his left hand better than any man in
Columbus can paint signs with his right.
Very respectfully,
Couden, of Columbus.
Wall & Chase’s exhibit attracts consid
erable attention, and is complimented !<y
every visitor as one of the best displays of
musical instruments ever seen at an expo
sition.
