NOUIIV DISPLAY OK KOOTVVKAll.
Ono of tho most pleasing objects of Inter

hall Is that of Perkins llros., tho leading boot
nud bhoo men of tho city. It occupies n prom
inent position In tlio center of tho hall, nud
has been the focus for thousands of ndmiiing
eyes during tho fair. On a tastefully drniied
pyramid, enclosed In a handsome framewnrk,
nro shoes nud slippers of tho very finest grade
of nil tho different sliMxs and colors. Per
kins llros. havo so long been tho leaders lu
fnshtoutihlo footwent, Hint thoso who mono
puiltited with the house mid tho goods they
Imndlo know what their exhibit consists of.
Hero we find tho dainty ball slipper, in nil
conceivable designs mid shnpos. elegant gait
ers nud footw ear of nil kinds for gentlemen,
nud novelties of overy description. Pel kins
Pros, make n specialty of perfect-fitting
goods, and every article Isguaianteed toglvo
satisfaction. All their goods nro mndu csjiec
ially for their trade, mid boar tlio firm tindo
mark. The Ntimplcs displayed nro from tlio
lest nud most stylish makers, nml leprosent
every stylo mid make of fashionable shoes.
Tho "HoinoComfoit"is nil odd shaped but
seemingly comfnrtnblo bhoo, suggestive of a
warm Iheplnco and ncoy nmi rhnlr. Pat
ent leather vamps mid tips In nil makes nro
shown mid form n very uttructlvo pnrt of
tho exhibit. Kach shoo nud slipper Is stuffed
with cotton to show Its perfect shnp, mid tho
exhibit, as u wholo Is worthy of n much larger
city. A bluu tag on tho goods show that they
have Ikhmi awarded first premium over all
c)iiiK!tltors, mid tho decision Is n most just
ono. Tho summer and fall styles of "Oxford"'

inadoupiii Fieuch kid, Jkaugnroo mid other
novelty leather. The display of goods car

that they nro progressive business men, up

Hue of being suited lu style and price.

For u number of years past Jlr. F. W.

TUB KltOKdr.lt 1'IANOS.
Jlr. 8. P. Hohinau, agent for this very
K)iulnr instrument, had on exhibition the
finest piano in Ait hall, which was the center
of admiration of all who lovo music and nil
uiiro tho work of urt in household furnish
ings. It was nil upright, tundo of Kngllsh onk,
highly fluishod and artistically carved, con
taining all tho Litest and best patents, and
when Jlrv IIohmnnl who was ensonally pres
ent, played selections on tho instrument, it
held tho musical cars of tho vnst throng in
the closest attention, "Oh, what a delight
ful tone," ono lady was heard to leniaik;
while unother would siy, "soclear and sweet,
I never hemil anything to eipinl It," nud
then nil hands would usk for u curd mid ex
press their appreciation of the merits of tho
"Kroegor."
There seems somutlilng wonderful how this
piano has attained its imputation lu a coiu
purativcly shoit tlnto, but not so when one
stops to consider how much butter It is than
its numerous livnls.
Jlr. Henry ICrooger, tin senior member of
this manufacturing llrin w as for twenty-tin ce
years foi email of the well known Kteiuway
piano factory, nud It was through this gen
tleman's many devices, ingenuity mid
thorough knowledge of tho bii.slue.iy, that tho
Hteinwny made such n success. However,
since retiring from their employ, Mr Kroe
gor hns made a uiimhcrof Improvements over
the piano of several years ago, and of such
sterling vnliio tint many hno tiled to Imi
tate, but none hao succeeded, for everything
ndded has been duly protected by patents,
nud me found in iioiio but instruments of
tills make. One of tho patents is tho obtuse
miirulur melal frame, which Is not only
claimed by tho manufacturers, but by all
eminent imiMclitns who have tried It, to be
suierlor to oil other piano frames, thus afford
ing a richer tone, etc. All uptight pianos
nro thrce-stiinged mid routulu now Cnpo
d'Astro bar, which is n recent patent, dated
October 111, 1SSH.
Thero Is much to say in favor of tlio piano
nud to speak of nil Its merits would consume
too much timo mid space, which during this
particular lively fair week is both scnirennd
vnluable However, suillce It to say that the
ICioeger piano iniulo for itself a big hit nud
nil ikm-sous desiring to lenrn more of It may
receive full iufoinmtiou by calling on Jlr. K.
Ilohman, 1 i:ti O street.

who adiiilro art lu photography, was that of
