Richmond Is oat la her Sunday dress to-day.
The business has ceased, and ailrej ilce in the open
ing day of one of the grandest Expositions the B3utb
bas ever had. The weather was cool and delightful
and seemed made for the occasion. The Invigora
tive air was Just what was needed In the bustle acd
burry of such an occasion. Considering ail the bad
weather recently, nature benevolently smiled upon
the day, and the 11 igs Hying from numerous house
tops; the drums beating In many quarters; the
railroad trains emptying crowds at the depots, and
the street-cars loaded beyond their capacity, every
where llvelln< si and eagerness combined to give to
our thoroughfares tb&t activity and gayety which so
kindles the hearts of the young and stirs with
pleasurable emotions all who delight In seeing “the
world move."
A LONG LINK OF MARCHERS VIEWED BY MANY
THOUSANDS.
All of the organizations that accepted the In vita
tlon of the Chamber of Commerce to participate In
the parade were In the places assigned them and
ready to move at 9.30 as per order of General
Charles J, Anderson, the chief marshal. This
gentlemau and his al Jes tad their arrangements so
well peifected that when the command “Forward!
was given the police, wheelmen, and marshals, who
were on First street, moved with military precision,
and headed the line on Broad street,
At 8f cond street the entire First Virginia regi
ment, preceded by Iardella’s Band of. fifteen
pieces, fell Into line. With the regiment were the
Richmond Light Infantry Blues and following these
came the traveling men.
The procession was augmented at l/hlrd street by
the Stuart Horse Guards, the R chmlmd Howitzers,
and the First llattalllon Virginia Volunteers (col
ored Infantry).
Buffalo Bill’s Wildest Show Joined the column
at FourYa street, and at Fifth were city officials,
Invited gnests. Including Hon. Thomas R. Stock-
dale, Congressman from Mississippi, and the Board
of Fire Commissioners in carriages. The city
fire department brought up the rear.
GRAND TAGEANT.
When the line had been fully formed the march
was taken op. and a grand parade, such as has Bot
been seen In R'cbmond since tbe Trades parade In
18*1, was witnessed by the thousands of persons
who packed themselves on the sidewalks and parts
of the streets through which the procession moved.
Tbe doorsteps and windows, and porches of all
houses from which a good view of the passing
column could be bad were all crowded, and it was
next to Impossible to wedge through the dense
cloud of humanity Jammed and packed on both
sides of Main street. The route was along Broad
street U> Twelft, down T welfth to Governor, to
Main, to Fifth, to Franklin, to Hancock, to Broad,
and to tbe grounds.
All along the line or march tbe various bodies
were complimented on tbelr appearance, and tbe
boys went almost wild at the sight of Buffalo Bill’s
tribe.
I could not begin to enumerate here all tbe com
panies from over the State, that participated in the
parade. It was tbe largest ever seen in the South.
TO THE GROUNDS.
The head of the column reached the Exposition
grounds shortly before 12 o’clock and an entrance
was bad through the gate near tbe northwest cor
ner. As Buffalo BUI came In he was loudly cheered,
and in acknowledgment of tbe compliment be rode
across the grounds with his head uncovered. The
organizations were dismissed In the open field back
of tbe building.
The Indians are admirably good riders, and one
noticeable thing ab >ut them was that nearly every
one bad a streamer of some gay color tied to the bits
of tbelr bridles. It was amusing to see the two
little pack mules galloplug up the street wl h sev
eral bags filled with something strapped on the back
of each of them.
Several of the organizations carried banners and
tb* Howitzers bad small flags In tbelr bridles.
Fltz Lee, Jr., rode with tbe Stuart H arse Guards,
of wblcn be is a member.
THE HALL.
Tbe Concert Hall Is an Immense room ana has In
it 3 000 chairs arranged lu circular rows. On the
stage are two pianos, an organ, and about seventy-
five chairs. The decorations consist of bunting,
tl igs, and moss drapery. There is a large covered
piece like a button in the centre of the room, from
which streamers connect with tbe galleries and
•*’.: k ge at regular intervals. Suspended from
above the stage Is Virginia worked In large
Utters of m«'ss. and at the back of tbe
stage Is a very pretty painted scene and
a part of tbe wall Is covered with bunting. The
c. llery is decked with ihe shields of the different
.S ates, the American eagle, old flags, drapery, rep
resentations of animals, etc., etc. The hall and
galleries were well filled.
I: was here that the speeches were made, and
the Exposition was declared opeoed. <»i the sfape
lu ;he hall sat much of the beauty and elite of Rich
mend, among them them the wives of the tilicers of
the Exposition.
President Starke promptly at 12:45 arose amid
arplause and opened the exercises with prayer by
Hr Moses Hoge.
PRESIDENT STARKE’S WELCOME.
When Dr. Hoge concluded bis prayer tbe band
played a short piece, and President Ashton Starke
then came forward to welcome the vast audience
before blm assembled Cheer after cbeer arose
from every quarter, and Mr. Starke must have felt
iioud of the enthusiasm manifested at Lis ap-
eorance. I wish I might give this eloquent ad-
ress In full. 1 can only say it was a masterpiece,
lr Starke’s soul has been In this Exposition. He
as worked day and night without hope of reward
,tner than the success of his underrating. Cer
tainly he should be proud to-day. The greatest
Aivcess has crowned hU efforts, as was attested by
the presence of thousand® and thousands of happy
Vict ors and even those wbc essayed to predict a
ure’are proud to extend their congratulations
acd acknowledge It the greatest success.
After Mr Starke's eloquent address. Governor
Let wls introduced, and for a time held his audi
ence spellbound by his eloquence.
THE MACHINERY STARTED.
The Governor was cheered lustily, both when he
began and when be closed, and at his conclusion
the band played “Dixie," which touched a re
sponsive chord lu the audience, and there was great
enthusiasm.
At 12:26 the gpeech-maklDg was over, and Mr.
Starke announced that the wW ®.°*

Every department Is good; many are superb.
It Is an inviting field of observation for the

Improvements will be daily made and all good

EXPOSITION.
Richmond'® Exposition will show visitors not only
her resources of Bold, forest and water, but what
her people can do In a'most every department of
human Industry, and also afford such a historic
study as could be collected and produced by no
other State—covering as It does five periods in State
and national history—the colonial, tne revolution
ary. the ante-bellum, and tbe sad years ol tbe war
Itself, and the time of glad awakening to new life,
new strength, new,more and permanent prominence.
The wonderful resources of this wonderful 8tate
will be shown by her every county, and by every
railroad having Its lines within her conflues. To
bacco will be shown In every form, from the seed
to where it finds the riser’s mouth. Tne plant will
be seen growing in all Its stages; the manner aud
methods of Its cultivation shown, and the Insects
that destroy It may be observed feeding upon the
leaf and prepared ready for the study of the ento
mologist. Genuine tobacco barns, such as may be
seen upon the plantation, with the loug sticks on
which tbe plants are strung will be erected.
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
Of this Exposition the president is Ashton Starke.
The first vice-president Is General Joseph R An
derson, widely and favorably known as president of
the great Tredegar Iron Works. The second and
third vie 3-presldents are Messrs. Juha P. Branch
president of the Merchant’s National Bank, and A.
K. Buford, president of the Virginia Western Rill-
way. Tae director e»»neral Is Mr. H^nry C Jones,

houses, giving prices. It will also furnish messen
ger service. Visitors who have not secured board
aud lodglug In advance of their arrival are request
ed to hold their biggage checks until tuey have
settled tnslr location; by so dolDg they will avoid
delay in its delivery.
THE MAIN BUTLDIN
In front of the great main building Is a court 700
feet long and 150 feet wide. Tbe building Itself has
a straight front, with three immense rearward
wings, making an E shape. To enable the visitors
the better to take in the general (ff jet there are
many spacious galleries and cross-bridges, and
lookouts from six great towers. In the main front
there are three groups of doors, each with three
openings. The middle group faces a beautiful
grotto In which natural water pours Id fl isblog cas
cades into a placid lakelet lined with ferns and
mosses. The long atsles of Machinery Hall to the
rlgnt are reserved for textile machinery, pottery-
making aud other miscellaneous mechanical ex
hibits. But lu the east wing cutting and punching
machinery, textile machines, harvesters and blQders,
dynamos, steam-engines, printing presses, great
looms and band-saws are exhibited on three great
aisles each as long as a city block. The largest
soda-water fountain ever made, that shown at the
Centennial Exhibition, Is here in operation. In the
great western wing are the couutry exhibits, in
which Virginia and North Carolina have J lined
hands In friendly rivalry to show visitors aud in
tending settlers what they produce. The flior
space equals 271,456 square feet. A whole train of
cars can go rlgnt into and through the main build-
tog.
SPECIAL BUILDINGS.
Ou the main floor of Music Hall are 3.000 separate
chairs. The roof height Is 64 feet and Its spacious
galleries each 30 feet deep. Here each day one of
the three greatest bands In the country will bs
beard. Tne music alone will be well worth a trip
across the country, as It will excel anything here
tofore heard In the State.
MANUFACTURES.
1 wish only to give a short sketch of the leading
Iron works, which are making most creditable ex
hibits at tbe fair.
Tne Tredegar Iron Works, of which General Jo
seph R. Anderson Is president ; Archer Anderson,
vice-president and treasurer; J. F. T. Anderson,
secretary.
The works cover an area of sixteen acres, and are
among the largest lu the United States. All the
vast machinery is driven by waterpower from the
James river, the capacity of which is equal to one
thousand horse power. The works give employ
ment to from nine hundred to eighteen liandr.-d
men, according to the state of trade, and when run
ning lu full bias: the pay-ro l averages $50,000 per
month. The product of the works consists chi. fly of
splkts, fish plates, bolts, bar iron, horse ana mule
suoes. water aud gas pipe, iron and brass castings
generally, stationary, portab eaDd marine engines
ana boilers, freight cars, wheels, axles and Indeed
atl k»nds of railroad work. Their trade Is all over
tne United St te«, aud in South America and Caoa.
General Aoderaon is a graduate of West Pol it
Military Academy, and entered the army as au offi
cer lu the corps of engineers. In 1S40 ns resigned
to assume the management of the Tredegar com
pany, with which he nos since been Identified.
For the last quarter of a century them works have
had a reputation second to no Iron Industry In Amer
ica, and this it achiev'd durlug the days of ;the
Conff-deracy, from 1861 to 1885
Prior to this period, however, Its locomotives
were running on S mthern railroads, its rails and
spikes were in genet al u*e, aud tde blasts from the
steam whistles of its portable and stationary en
gines were sounded on two continents. Its pro
pelling power was also felt on the high seas, for the
l otted Sates steam frigates Roanoke and Colo-
iado were furnished with engines, gnns and boilers
from tbls great establishment. The Tredegar was
aiso among the first to build a steam ianuca. The
l aired States revenue cutter James K. Folk had
uer machinery built Dy and was fitted out at the
Tredegar shipyard. But, as previously stated, its
name aud fam-* Is linked with the war history of
Richmond, and ai enduring as the city Itself. When
communication was cut Lff, ana Richmond was
wrapped, as It were, with a olanket Dy the hosts of
opponents without, when munitions of war were
aiinost as necessary as food, then It was that tne
Tredegar proved a friend in need and a friend In
deed. Without going further into detail, It is only
necessary to say that this establishment again
commenced to manufac'.ure cannon, cannon-balls
and other munitions of war, with which they sup
plied the Confederate Government until the city
was evacuated. _
Many years prior to tbe war period tbe Tredegar
Company made cannon for tbe Federal Govern
ment, and as far back as 1816 they were in a trial
contest with four other foundries in this class of
work, and the United States Government decided
in favor of tbe superiority of the Tredegar. It is
not improbable that during the war between the
States, the cannon from this establishment belched
forth fire on opposing sides.
In 1841, which was ten years after the Tredegar
was founded, General Joseph R. Anderson began
to conduct the business, and has been Its master
spirit ever since. In 1S67 it was incorporated, as
now, with a capital stock of $l 000.000,
RICHMOND LOCOMOTIVE WORKS.
This company are the successors cf the old and
prosperous firm of Tanner a Dalany Eagtne Co.
They are large manufacturers of steam 6Dglne3
boilers, saw mills and locomotives. In writing of
this company I can bnt quote Charles E DoValln,
chi«£ engineer of the U. 8. N., written to Mr, w.
Simpkin, superintendent of the works, after his
return to Washington on a visit of inspection to
these works;
We found the works to b* on a large scale, occu
pying about twelve (12) acres, with substantial
bandings and y rd. We found about 410 men em
ployed in the manfacture of locomotives or various
lends; stationary engines, mill work, aud steam
bol'ers for marine and land purposes, some of
which are of a heavy kind.
There Is also an erecting shop oo0x53 fee*, pro
vided with a traveling overhe3d crane of fifteen
tons capacity, and equipped with the necessary
tools and appliances for heavy and extensive work.
The boiler shop is equlped with hydraulic riveting
machines, rolls, cranes, Fhears, punches, etc., re
quired for large work, and a few additional tools
will enable you to handle the heaviest work with
facility. You have au ample pattern shop furnished
with modern machinery suffijient for general pur
poses, aud a large four-story brick building, with
water tower for safe storage of wooden patterns.
The foundry is provided with two cupolos ol eleven
tons capacity, with substantial cranes, drying ovens
and an ample floor—all capable of extension for
heavier work than now on hand.
Yonr brass foundry, of one half (\' 2 ) ton capacity,
is well arranged and can be extended, If necessarv.
Tbe smithery contains a steam hammer of 650
pounds wltb cranes and tbe usual coLvenlecces
for moderately heavy forgings.
Your large offices and drafting rooms are of good
modern design. The large Locomotive shop now
building Is to be 160 by 60 feet, and will enable you
to handle large quantittes of that character of work
with facility; and you have laud enough to increase
your works to any extent likely to be required. By
the addition of a few heavier tools such as lathes,
planes, gang drills for boiler work, boring mill. etc.,
you will be enabled to handle massive work of the
heaviest kind.
Your location, two miles from tide water, and
with railroad facilities for r.he transportation of raw
material to your works from mines in Virginia and
other niaces, and carrylug the finished work to Nor
folk, Newport News and Washington, warrant you
In undertaking marine work o! an extensive char
acter.
Mr. Wm. R. Trigg manages the finances; that he
Isa good raauager Is shown In the large cash re
ceipts monthly. Tbe-e works are too well known
to need a word from me, but only give them as the
leading manufacturers of their kind—showing what
Is done in thac time, right here in the leading South
ern manufac utlng city.
D. A. AINSLEY & BROTHER.
These progressive young men are the sons of
Capt. Geo. A. Alnsley, who for many years bas
been owner of the largest carriage manufactory in
theSJUth. A few years ago he retired from his
business, leaving It to his sons. Capt. Alnsley Is
President of the Board of Trade, aud a most influ
ential ctttzru. »Ihe carriages ica^e here do credit;
to him, as well us to R chmond. They have by far
the anst elegant exhibit at the Exposition. Tne
hose cart deserves *oectal mention. It is a beautl-
lul piece or w irk. Visitors a! the Exposition should
not fail to vlst. this exhibit.
ALLEN & GINTER.
This magnificent exhibit of the wonderful works
of art, as is shown in tbe tobacco artists of this firm
must not pas 4 without special mention. Their ex
hibit has a prominent place on an elevated plane, 50
feet long by 19 wide, beautifully carpeted wlthcrlm
son aud draped back from the heavy bronze rods
that made It a canopy like, by crimson damask
parties, gracefully caught back by pretty colored
ribbons. Within this is a minnatnre village,
the homes, bridges, fences and everything nude of
their well known “Richmond Straight Cats,"
A model ship la motion, of cigarettes, and the
bright tobacco representing the works of the sea.
This is indeed a work of art. Their trade mark,
which Is so well known to every one, is a perfect
picture, and a casual cbierver would think It was a
master piece in oil; it would do credit to Michel
Angelo. This all made of the span rope tobacco.
There are so many designs that are beautiful, pyra
mids, and pictures. Work baskets of all discrip-
Hods. The most fastidious of our fair sex, would
be only too glad to have one, with all the abh >rance
they may p -ofess for the weed. Just one word I must
say for these manufactures.
It was tbe first of its kind In Virginia, and the first
to use Virginia and North Carolina tobacco In cigar
ettes. The works consist of three large buildings,
fire and six stories high, to which has been added
recently a large warehouse for storage, and are
fitted with the most Improved machinery. They
employ about 1300 bands, nearly all of whom are
glrn. It was the first cigarette factory In tbe United
States that employed female help in manufacturing
cigarettes, and to this Influence of female nearness
may be In a measure attributed the high standard
it enjoys for cleanliness and discipline. Their pro-
ductioj Is chit-fly fine grades of cigarettes and smok
ing tob cco, and they have attained a well-deserved
reputation in all parts of the world. As evidence of
this fact may be cited the highest awards of meric
at the grand exhibitions at Fciladelphla, New Or
leans, Farts, Sydney and Melbourne. In addition
to their immense home trade they export largely,
and there Is scarcely a country in which their goods
are not sold, lu Great Britain, where adulterated
American manufactures are iorhldden, this firm
have made tne largest sales of cigarettes ever
known, and the demand is steadily increasing.
Their cigarettes are of a different degree of strength
to accord w.th various tastes; and they use French
rice paper, made expressly in France for them, from
wntch there is no disagreeable smell, and scarcely
au atom of ashes remains.
I can only menttOD a few of their brands here.
Firs: of all, being a woman I mention the Dainties,
made especially for ladies; Rlcbmond S:ralghtCats,
Tne Pet, Dubee (genuine Tur&lsa), D.xte, Virginia
Brlgiits, “Sunny South." This latter of course was
named in honor of the bes: paper in the South,
TH03. C. AVILLIAMSCO.
This firm is composed of Thos. C. Williams, Sr.,
Rob’t 8. Bosher, Thos. C. William?, Jr., and Jas. T.
Parkerson. This is as strong a firm as can be
found.
They have fictories in R chmond for the manu
facture of tobacco, and iu Danville, Henderson and
Durham. N. U . f .r the curing of leaf tor manufac
ture lu their R enmond honse. Among tho well-
known brand® of this firm’s manufacture, whloh
hav 3 becomn very popular in this country, particu
larly in the South, is the “ Lucy Hinton," which In
that section has b come a household word.
The “ Hygeia " is a brand which they have re
cently started, and wblcn is manufactured under a
formula prepared by the eminent Proteisor of
Chemistry cf the VJlverslry of Virginia—Professor
Mallet—who says tnat It is calculate I to be of great
benefit as a preventive of malaria, nervousness,
etc. The firm are In almost dally receipt of testi
monials from people in the South who have used
this tobacco and been greatly benefited by Its use.
They atso have a large trace in foreign countries
where their brands are used, and stana at the head
of the market. They have an extensive exhibit at
the Melbourne Exposition in Australia at which
their senior Mr, Wi liams has been attending.
"DUCT HINTON.’*
In no better way can the tobacco men of Rich
mond show the thrift and Industry for which they
are so characteristic than by their grand displays
on such au occasion as this. T. O. Williams & Co.
have shown much good taste la the display of their
famous cbewlng tobacco. “Lucy Hinton” bas the
topmost place on account ot long association. This
brand Is popular, and Is known tne world over.
I*. H. MAYO & BRO.
One of the most attractive features of the Expo
sIiIod, and one that would attract a vast amount of
attention anywhere, Is the exhibit of the above
named firm. The artistic effect and beautiful work
In exhibit dlplays the best evidence of tae skill
of those employed by this firm. It is a wonderful
work of art. Taere is a representation of a fort,
called Pownatan after the old homestead of the
Mayo family, and the cite ol the famous Indian
coltf. Powhatan. The whole of it is manufactured
of spun tooacco, being fifty feet long and tweive feet
high. By actual couuc taere are thirty miles of to
bacco rope, known as spun work. The fort Is sur
mounted by cannon and balls, guns of every de
scription, with the attacking vessels, the Merrlmac
ana Monitor, at a near distance to 1c, a beautifully
designed ship of war, with all us appliances. There
is also a large globe, with each country correctly
,'ocated o: it. ibis is all mwJe ol iheir own manu
factured tobaccj. Tae effect is startling. Tne
passer by view? It first with interest, ana, after
finding out what It realiy is, stops in astonishment.
This design sterns most appropriate sines Mayo
A Bro., ma&e a specialty ot Navy tobacco. Ine
tort Is made of alternate sbaaes of bright and
b.acs, with the U. S monogram on the contrasting
color.
Interlined ou this In beautiful pictures, woven;in,
of the American eagle aod fUg on the sides, are
glass casses filled with true samples of “Eglantine,” ’
•’Ivy,” “Navy,” “Boston Ideals," and • U. 8. Gen
uine Navy.” The Mayo’s are a very old flrm t
almost a half century and have always been pros
perous merchants.
The firm Is P. N. Mayo & Bro., Mr. Thomas
Atkinson, the junior partner, uaving succeeded his
brother. The firm still keeps the old name that
won b »th fame aud fortune.
The five buildings represent one of the most cam
plete tobacco manufactories in the country. They
cover au area of about 40 000 square feet, and are
fitted throughout with tue mo3t modern machinery
and other appliances necessary for the successful
prosecutioa of this immense and constantly In
creasing industry, They employ between five and
six hundred hands, aud yet every department Is so
perfectly systemetiz id that the utmost harmony pre
vails. The works have a capacity for turning out
between four and five millions of pounds of the
manufactured article per annum. Their brands are
too numerous to mention. They make all
kinds of Navy tobaccos, for smoking »nd chew
ing, and more lc of than any fac ory in Richmond.
They sell goods over most of the U alted States and
In foreign markets, having local agencies in all tbe
principal distributing centers.
This firm has taken the premium at all tbe Expo
sitions in the United States iu which they have ex
hibited. This old firm, which was established so
many years ago, has been succeeled by the Kinney
Tobacco Company, headqiarters in New York
Mr. W. H. Butler is SecreUrv of the offices in New
York. Mr. Jas. E
Kearney Is manager of
the busines here. Their
factory here lathe
largest »ingle establish
ment, under one roof,
Id this c'ty of tobacco factories, and when in full
blast It gives employment to fourteen hundred op
eratives, nearly all of whom are females. They
mauuf ac’U' e a large variety of brands, their leaders
being “Sweet Caporal,” and “Straight Cut Ciga
rettes," and “Sweet Caporal" Smoking Tobacco,
which are sold to tbe trade all over tbe world.
Kinney Bro’s. have also been making a specialty
of -Boudatr Size,” a mild cigarette made for th*
ladies. Your correspondent has been under their
inspiration since tbe beginning of this article. All
the hue and cry raised against cigarettes and cig
arette “moklng comes—and mo?t jastiy too-from
the a-yj: crated and low-yrade wh>t*h are
put urtvA. he market at ridiculous y low figures—
lower in fact, weight for weight, than the manu-
faciured tobacco—and the use of which does most
undoubfedly rain the health and blnnt tbe sens!
buttles of those who buy and those who use them.
Those nations which habitually use cigarettes made
for consumption and not for the jobbing trade,
Bmoke much more than we do and yet they have no
real or Imaginary evils arhing from cigarette
smoking at all hoars and every hour of the day.
Those who smoke pure aud good grade cigarettes
find themselves benefited thereby, even when they
smoke all the time except when eating and sleeping.
The Kinney Company has factories lu New York
City, in Baltimore, in Rlcbmond and In Danville,
employing in all about three thousand persons,
thus making more hands employed by them than
by all their competitors combined.
The magnitude of their establishment and bnsl
ness may be verified by visitors to the coming Ex
position. Tbe specialty of this establishment may
be summed up la three words. High Class Cig
arettes The firm buys the tobacco direct from the
farmers and planters, and ships It to Richmond,
where It Is prepared for use, thence to be distrib
uted to the Kinney depot iu every city throughout
the world, it is interesting to note that lu this one
concern alone there Is combined the pioneer cig
arette making establishment, the largest manu
factory in that 11 je, and that the makers claim to
purchase the highest grade of goods.
The Richmond factory was bailt specially for
their business. It occupies au entire block, Is five
stories nigh, contains elevators and all modern
machinery, aud other Improved facilities.
Among the prominent exhibits of publishers, the
display of
B. F. JOHNSON & CO.,
stands out In hold relief to the many flashy and
gaudy displays seen at places of this kind. While
their exhibit takes less space aud is not so showy as
some, it yet represents a vast and rapidly increase
lug business.
It is a handsome glass case, placed on a pedestal
and is most elegant In every appointment. This
case Is fitted with choice selections of their most
beautiful books. This case will be used also to show
their publications at the great Paris Exposition of
1869. 4 Christ In the Camp," by Dr. Wm. Jones, Is
at present one of the most popular of Messrs. John,
son & Co.’s publications. This book has run through
Its third edition and is now on the fourth, and sell
ing faster than ever before.
“The Beautiful Story," by J. W. Bael, Is another
of their best publications that has attracted very
great attention lately. From the reporcs of agents
who are scattered all over the country there nave
been a9 many as one thousand copies of this great
hock sold dally.
There is also a handsome and artistic display cf
family Bibles, albums, and samples of many vaiua
ble ana attractive standard works issued by this
house, too numerous to mention hero.
Tals house has at present over ten thousand
agents for tbelr various publication, scattered
rnrougbout various countries principally in the
United States. Mr. Johnson’s establtihed veracity
Is the only thing that causes one to believe such fab
ulous sales reported from these books. This sounds
large, but it i3 true.
A distinguished SouthFrn writer lately said: “To
publish books south of Philadelphia meant a cer
tain failure, death financially or starvation to the
publishers." And yet right here iu R chmond Is
one of the largest subscription book bouses in the
world. Iu addition to the Ur<e nnmbor of men
necessarv to conduct such a busmans, there are
about 123 young ladles employed. Nearly sixty of
thatnunioer are typewriters. There is received
at the office an immense mail dally, often reaching
from 1 200 to 1 390 letters. Mr. Johnson Is a pro
gressive business man. His house Is well known
and popular all over rhe country. This house wa9
first established in 1876 by Mosby & J Jhnson. This
partnership only lasted roe year. Mr. Johnson,
purchasing the Interest of his partner, went In
business lor himself under the name of B. F. John
son & Co. This was a lucky stroke- He has since
been head manager and proprietor, being well
fitted by reason of practical experience.
The people ol all classes and conditions are pay
ing more attention to supplying their families with
good literature than ever be’ore in the history of
the country, and are exhibiting more refined and
cultivated taste in buying books. A high moral
tone U a’si shown bv the growing desire for re
ligious book?, as Mr- Johnson states that by far the
mo9t profitable books that they have Issued are
standard rellgloas works and handsomely Illus
trated Bibles. In visiting tbe Virginia Exposition
be sure to take a look at their display. Visitors
will be cordially welcomed at their headquarters,
10C9 Main street, where their large force of em
ployes are busily engaged daily In supplying the
wants of their agents.
It is a noteworthy fact that many of the largest
orders received by them come lrom New England
and the far Northwestern States, while their trade
Is very extensive in the rich aDd prosperous Middle
and Western States, and of course they almost mo
nopolize the Southern and Southwestern trade in
books and Bibles.
WHAT IS CLAREJIONT f
An estate of 13 000 acres, before the war, one of
the most celebrated plantations in Virginia. It is
sltnated on the sooth bank of James river, ninety
feet above high water, with a water frontage of
seven miles. Durffig the war Maj. Allen abandoned
the estate and moved his stock and cattle to Carles
Neck near R chmond. Seven years sgo we bought
the estate, fiudlng it nothing but a dense forest and
only three white families within s 4 x mtles. We im
mediately cat It op into sma<i farms and have now
over two hundred families and a village of thirteen
stores, three hotels, two churches, two schools
blacksmiths, wheelwright, stave factory, husk fac
tory, several dally steamboats, two dally trains
two dally malls, the terminus already of one rail
r. ad. and sure to become one of the heaviest ship
piig places In the entire South; also, two newspa
pers.
The settlement bas been so rapid and the demand
for small farms so great that we were aim >st com
pelled to extend our colony, which we did, by bny-
l"g several large estates immediately south of this
aggregating over 8.(P0 a'lres, wblcb is also subdi
vided Into farms and selling very rapidly.
Tbe whole city bave constituted themselves boom •
ers; hence this clever l«ttle village—showing a spirit
of pusb and energy not seen every day.
DIXIE PLOWS.
In the agricultural ljnpliment line, there is every
thing you could imagine. The Dixie Plow Works
attract much attention by tbe novel exhibit. The
log home, with a running brook in tbe rear, real live
cuickeus playing in tbe yard—suggest a perfect pic
ture ot couutry life.
ATLANTA & ATLANTIC FERTILIZING COMPANY.
Tnis company, of which Mr. 8. D Crenshaw is sec-
retary, 19 one of the standard and most reliable fer-
til'zing factories in the country. It was Incorpor .
ated in 1873. aud has a capital stock of $160 000. The
works arc located near tbe city, were ouilc by fbe
company, and have the capacity to turn out 8.000
tons of fertilizer a year. Taey employ forty hands.
They have three traveling men constantly on the
road, and sell only their own products. The “Eure
ka" Is tbelr leading brand, though they sell lm
mense quantities of “Orient" and “Our Ada Phos
phate." Their trade extends through Virginia.
N orth aud Soutu Oaroltua, Tennessee, Georgia aud
Alabama.
Mr. Crenshaw shows his public spirit and enter-
prize by his dlsplav of his favorite brands. He Is
one of the leading business men of Rlcnmond.
S. W. TROVERS & CO., FERTILIZERS.
At this stand Is shown the efficacy of using good
fertilizers. There Is cotton growing in pots, tbe
soli of one having been freely supplied with tbe
Capital Cotton Fertilizer, aud the other trusting
only te tbe native soil. They remind one of the
pictures, so familiar to all, “Before and After Tak
ing.”
Within the brief period of three years this house
has planted Itself in the front rank among the man
ufacturers and importers of fertilizers, and bas
succeeded in establishing trade throngh Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ten
nessee and Alabama. What old house could show
such a line of custom?
The “Capital" Is the new brand of the firm, and
they have adopted as a trade mark the “Capitol"
building at Rlcimoa<i. Va , which has a place not
only la the history of Virginia, bat of the Southern
States. Ia halls so sacred to the hearts of all
Southerners were held the counsels of the Con
gross of the fallen Confederacy.
COUSINS, MAY & CO.,
of Glen Allen, Va., are showing you samples dally
of their printing presses. They occupy a large
space in tbe most attractive part of the building,
and have twelve of their small presses for printing
circulars. They are a team within themselves
They employ to run these presses pretty young
girls, making a most attractive exhibit. They do

RANDOLPH TAPER BOX EXHIBIT.
This needs only to be seen to be appreciated.
Maj. Randolph has b?en one of the leading spirits
In the Richmond Exposition, and to the present
grand success, the citizens and Virginians every
where are Indebted much to him lor his time and
generosity in meeting every obstacle la the way.
This display is one ot the fiaest ever seen in tnis
CGuatry. He has always taken every premium, for
his go* ds are “par excellence.” At the New Or
leans Exposition he took the first premium, and
will, oi course, take it here. Richmond should con
gratulate herself upon having such a cltlz ;n as Hod.
N. B. Randolph.
CLAREMONT COLONY.
The most ingenious piece of workman?* 4 ? a f the
Exoositlon is the viilace at Claremont. Va. It Is
a facsimile of toe village itstlf, ev^n down to the
most minute details. The visitor can be en
tertained quite a wiule by studying this pretry
piece of workmaDSbip.
Mr. J. F. MaLjba is tne ruling spin: In this village
which was only a few years ago a cross roal sta
tion, now bids fair to become a city. Betow I clip
from the newspaper, “Ciarem.'nt ColoDy,” man
aged by Mr. Mancha,
not cater to tbe general trade, bnt confine them
selves to a certain class of fine-grade work. Their
calendar work Is known most favorably all over the
United States. They do most beautiful aud artistic
work, their designs being made specially for their
own work. Their labels look like engraved plate.
It is both amusing and Instructive to watch the
performance dally of this bnsy crowd of girls, all
doing their work with neatoess and dispatch. Mr.
Cou3lus has the display In charge. He Is a most
interesting conversationalist, and must entertain
ing.
CnARLOTTSVlLLE WOOLLEN MILLS.
Mr. N. C. Marchant, the president of the mills,
showed good taste in sending such men as Mr. Jar
man and Mr. Witmer to look after his display here
Thos. Jefferson Randolph, the grandson of the au
thor ot the “Declaration of Independence,” was the
first president of these mills. Tney are located near
Monticello. The goods will compare with any
cloths made In the United States. A test of this was
shown recently, when the contract for tne uniforms
of the letter carriers of Philadelphia was given
these mills, over great competition. They have a
loom In tne Exposition building and are dally turn
ing out yards of cloth. They make military goods,
supplying all the military schools of the State.
RICHMOND.
Now In closing let me say one word about Rich
mond.
PROGRESS.
Although an ancient c'ty, as American communi
ties go, Rtcomond Is abreast of the times, having
gas and water-works and sewerage and drainage
systems second to none, well-paved streets, with
such declivit) that they cannot remain unclean; a
debt small and well placed; a street-car system ex
cellent aud l m pro vi ug and enlarging at a rapid rate;
electricity harnessed to do her bidding In lighting,
heating, power transmitting, car propnlsion and
vessel unloading.
The city 19 noted for charming parks. The street
railways, which are nearly twenty miles In length,
are operated by electricity, thts bslng the longest
electric railway system in the world, and when the
Exposition is running this will be Increased to over
twenty-five miles as there will be a new branch.
The pavieg of the business streets Is Belgian blocks
from the local granite quarries. In the residence
district many 01 the streets are macadamized; but
everywhere the rcadways and sidewalks are good,
the st reets are wide and equally Intersecting at
right angles, and in the dwelling section the saade
Is ample. There are sixty-seven churches and
places of worship, and the percentage of crime is
low. There are In her public schools about eleven
ttousaud pupils, with a tlgh average in examina
tions. Tnis does not Inc ude about three toousand
students in tbe colleges, seminaries, Institutions
and private schools. There are three theatres in
regular operation during the season. A new city
hall Is in construction, as are a new custom-house
and post-effi J© aud a fiae Masonic temple.
COMMERCE.
In commercial Importance this city is pre-emi
nent. The commercial organ'z itions are the To
bacco, Fiour, Grain, Cotton and F*our Exchanges;
the Commercial Cmb and the Chamber of Com
merce. The J >bbiDg rrade of 1887 was over $25 000,-
C00, besides sales lu other lines, making a total
amcUDt of over $40 090 OX) The banks have a capi
tal and surplus of $4,000,000, and the first half year’s
business ot 1883 was over $42 (.00.000, and larger
than that for i«87.
The pre9°nt population of It chmond and suburbs
I* 100 000. TDe valu« of real property is about $34 -
(CO 000; per?* nai, $14 490 COO; total In roand num
bers neariy $53 000.OO). Tne State and city levies
are light.
Tbe coal elevator is of great advantage to the
city ana to shipping,
