TIIE EXHIBITION.
The Worlds Fair Favorably Reported
on in Europe.
A Tour Through the Kin
dergarten.
Philadblnxia, June 14, 1878.
Although tho Ancr ran Centennial Exhibition Is ad
mitted to bo unparalleled, both iu the extern and variety
?f trio combicod aisplay*, II could not, cren it a
hundred tiroes larger or moro interesting, attract a
tingle foreign visitor to our Fhorcs without tho osslst
anco ol the foreign press and tho cooperation
of ill representatives. No matter how mag
nificonl an entertainment may t>c, It attains
success only wheu thoroughly advertised;
aild it International exhibition Is no exception to
tills ofl-tested rale- Il would bs belter that every
)ournal In Kurope should denounce tho enterprise than
that it should he ignored, lor even then by exciting
the curiosity, if not the sympathy, ol the reading pub*
lie, it would be advertised in a way to insure a re
spectable nttendar.c > frotu abroad. It Is,
however, very pleasant to know thst,
without exception, tho fore'gn press has
warmly supported and heartily recommended
the mighty undertaking, both editorially aud in the
graphic descriptions published by lis correspondents.
The following list ol representatives of European jour
nals in daily atlcndanco al the grounds will show that

TIIK K IN OKHli AJITK.V.
Tlio various educational system* of the world are i
well represented al the Centennial grounds, aud a tour
through any ol the departments will be louud both en
tertaining and instructive, lo the average visitor not
supposed to have made a special study ol any particu
lar brunch, but having a general interest lu the subject,
no more pleasant place can b* discovered than the
Kindergarten nuw >n opcratiou near the Women's I'a
villou. 1 his school or playroom, as it may be termed,
Is located in the pretty Gothic school building erccted
by the Woman's Centennial Executive Com in it tee and
tho sessions are held every Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday morning from ten o'clock until half-past
twelve. The juvenile institution Is in charge ol a Bos
ton lady, who came to this city last October, and who,
slier an examination of the various homes and nsy
turas of tbe city, solected a class of sixteen liny pupils
from the inmates ol tho Northern Homo for Friendless
Children, all ol whom were imtnod.aloly introduced to
tho instructive pleasures of the kindergarten, aud
St the opening ol the Exhibition were l ar advanced.
Tho system, as originated by Frederick Froebel, of j
Germany, really beginsam the nursery, wbere tho
nnnd ol' .he iiiiant is led onward to a natural yet j
rapid development, which lar better lit* it in alter lile |
for the reception ol new Ideas than coul l be po-sible j
were tin- ctiiid allowed to gam a knowledg? ol the [
wor.d about him without intelligent direction. In
place oi rallies, bell.', doils and other toys tho balie is QrSt !
given six hat.s ol tho three primary and secondary colors,
snd tuese give tho chiltt Ins tirst idea ol difference In
tolor. Tho mother or nurse, when the child tires of
playiug with the balls, takes first one andtheu another,
snd, holding each by tho string to which it is attached,
swings It back and lorih in some well defined direction
and general relation to Some other object, such hs a
(pool, a small box, Ac. This amuses the child, and, ns
the motions are made systematically, ne gradually
learns the relation ol one object to at)utI cr, and thus
gains his tirst Idea of the relation ol blmtcll to the
world around him. The Utile ouo becomes no longer
ft seittsh centre of tho umverso, but iicgins to
vaguely realize tho lad that his existence is only
? part of a mighty whole. This is a lessou which many
children ol a larger growth only learn by dearly bought
experience late in lile. The Ittlle student is thus led
on frotu one iaea to another until tbe age of three years
Is reached, when he enters the Kiodergarten proper.
Here there ire no formidable looking text books,'no
spectacled teacher with a ferruie, no long hours ol sit
ting on a hard wooden bench; not even uu a'phabel is
10 be lound. Tho lessons are actually play; the chil
dren laugh and talk to their heart's content, only
being kept lu their seats a little while at a time.
The studios, or, raihor, exercise*, relate purely to the
development of all tho mental (acuities by such a
oatural process that the child is instructed without be
ing wearied, and taught while being amused. Every
intellectual power is brought into constant employment
by a continuance ol the same system which was first
Used iu the nursery, and the cla s now at the ground
have so lar piogressed that they seem, as it by some
intuition, to grasp at on? any idea which it may be
desirable lo Impress upon their minds. Their play, i
which is permitted during tho session at short inter
vals, consists in Imitating birds, animals, sounds
and motions of all kinds which they h?ar or
see. Never was seen a more Joyous and in
telligent class of lulls ones than tho Kindergarten
pupils ut the Centennial grounds; and so lar an actual,
Valuable educitloti i* concerned '.hey are at least two
>ear* ahead of their less larlunaie companions of tho
samo age. The Kinde.garlcn <tuc* not teach the alpha
bet or reading or writing, but it -o e Vacates the eye
and Improves tbe memory that the learning ol the
onc? seem agly .osortnoiiniable -'A B C'1 is mere pa.u
time the thorough appreciation whteli is gained
of the relation of one object to number make*

To tuk Editor or tub Hisald:?
On tho 20th day of January, 1876, I made application
for spa<?(. for an exhibit at the International Exhibition
in 1 hiladelphia. Alter which 1 received a commtinica
tion from Director Geueral A. K. Goshorn, wherein It
stated that "my application for spaco was received and
registered. It will bo examined, an 1 when tho spaco
is allotted you will be duly notified. Tho register num

April I was duly notlQod that I bad been allotted spaca

1 visited Mr. John Surtax's olltce (iho Chiof of the Art
Bureau), ior the purpose ot seeking Information. i was
lulormed by his representative that he could not bo I
?ecu at present, being engaged. I Mas then informed
that my exhibit had to pass a c >mmittee, and that such
comimliee had not mado their report on my esbib:t
although ho thought that It had patssed the committee;
tnal in ease It had not been passed I would be notified
of the lact in th? course of two weeks, since which
1 received a blank form for the Information ot
the Judges ot Awards, which I immediately
returned, tilled up as requested, and from
tho lact ol several parlies having ot late returned Irom
Me Kxhlbilion, and luiormed me that they hud seen

HOW RON AN WAS SHOT.
The saloou of Farrer k Lyon, In Sonth street, was
on Tuesday evening the scene of a shooting all ray
which will probably icrminato in the doath of a proml
neut Seventh ward politician, Deputy Sheriff Stephen
II. Regan, or No. 182 Henry street, who is employed
In tho Order of Arrest office. From the lacts in tho
case, as developed on the examination before Justice
Wendell in the Tombs Police Court yesterday, it would
seem thai John O'Toole, keeper of a sailors' boarding
house at No. 62 Oliver street; Jim Curran, alius
.'Bullet," a sailors' hoarding house keopcr, of No. 4
Hamilton direct; John Mnngin, alias "Muggins," a |
sailor runner; Edward I.aifey, a shipping agent, of
South street; Mickey Kay, an ex-clerk ol Fulton Mar
ket; Michttcl Costello, alius "Strong-armed Mike;"
a sporting tnan, and a number of othors
were drmkiug together in the saloon uud O'Toole was
lutoxicuted. Kouan drove down to the Fulton lerry iu
a carriage ana colored Karrer ii Lyon's saloon.
Ho was halt drunk and very excttcd. When
he saw O'Toolo he ran up lo htm and said, "You cow
ardly , what do you want to talk to me lor f
You are talking behind my buck." He then struck
O'Toole twieo in the lace, and O'Toolo immodialelv
drew a five-chambered revolver und Ilred. The bail
entered Rouiui's right i.reast. He staggered for a mo- !
mem and fell against tho bar. One oi tho burtouders !
named McKcnxle sujiporteu him. Otllccr Mcl'ounell i
of tho First procinct, who heard tho shot, rushed in and
found O'Toole wlin the revolver in his haud and ur- i
rested him. llonan toro open his shirt and, showing
the wouud in his brcusl, said, "That's Iho man who '
shot me. Ho thou refused to make any complaint 1

BHOOTISO OF JKftr.UP.
[From tho Denver News, Juue 10 ]
A few new facia came to light, yesterday re
garding tho duel fought ou Thursday at River Rend,
between Albert Jessup and O. Davis, cattlemen. In
yesterday's .Ynw it was statod that tho nature or tho
diflerrnco between them hart not transpired. A gen
tleman who arrived from R>ver Head yrsteiday gives
a different version of the artair. He says thai Jessup
and Davis wore drunk, thM being, unfortunately the
too common condition or the lornicr, who had l:ecn
sent out here lo ruiorm sotno years since. Davis and
a herder got lute a row and Jessup took the border's
part, when Davis suggested a resori to arms, and
chose a Winchester rifle as his weapon. Jessup said
he only wanted the Call's revolver which hung at his
slue. The two walked away, and in three unuuies
liom the Umo they letl the station were i
shooting at each other. An eyo witness says '
that Je-sup was so drunk thai he reeied
about, anil iwo ot ins three shots were fired up in the
air. Oavis. who IS a crsck shot, had an caay task be
fore him, and it is thought ho ptirpo*elv tired wild the
lirsl time and deliberately drew a Hue bead the second
shot, hilling his target jum where fie aimed. It was

There is no opinion ventured by the railroad officials
as to when tho ?now going on shall cease, lhe

MASTER CAB BUILDERS.
The tenth annual sesslou ol the Master Car Builders'
Asftxiatiou was opened yesterday morning iu the
Grand Central Hotel. Mr. Leander Garey, President, oc
cupied tfie chair and Mr. C. A. Smith acted as secretary.
Every railway car manufacturing company In the United
States was represented. After the meeting was called
to order the President said:?"To-day the question is,
How cheap Is It possible to transport the products of
tho (arm and manufactory from tho producer to the
consumer and pay a lair Interest on the money in
vested ? Cheap and rapid transportation arc apparently
no nearer accomplished than they when
wo met last year. One year ago all hoped
for a year of general prosperity tor the wbolo
country, while the result has been a large shrinkage in
business and prices. Kallroads and their employes
have felt this shrinkage more keenly perhaps than any
other extensive business enterprise, and It is our duty,
realizing the facts slated, to assist with ail the knowl
edge our combined experience affords to reduco the
cost ol construcnon and repairs of cars ss a means to
accomplish tbo desired end. l)oad weight as compared
with paving weight should roceivo ciiroful considera
tion. Our cars should bo built as light as possible.
The following resolution was tbon offered and
adopted:?
Konnlvpd. That It U the sense of tbt? Conrentlon that a
t-sln brake tor freight train, is practicable, iii exceed
ingly deslrnble, would ?aee largo amount. In cost or repairs
of car bodies and destruction ol car wheels, could bs applied
?t a moderate cost, and we recommend Mich united action
on the part or the managers of our respective roada as will
apeedlly eauselts adoption.
Ho ports woro then read and accepted:?On draw bars
and buflors, brakes, car repair statistics, Ireight car
trucks, car wheels and ventilation.
The Committee on Ventilation reported that 1,000
cubic loet of fresh air per minute fur each sixty pa?
scnuers during all seasons of the ypar is the least
amuuut to bo considered ss sulllclenu .This is only
from oue-half to one-third of the amount requisite lor
neflect salubrity, and in warm weather tho supply may
be increased indeilnitely, according to the changes of
heat or the demand for comfort. Tho best way to gel
that air is by wickets over tho end sash and wick ts
over tho dome. Good ventilation must be Iree from
cold drafts. . ..
The peaaions will close this evening. Many of the
members ol tho Convention are going to visit the Cen
tennial Exhibition. The models ol cars, brakes, &c.,
shown at this Convention are worthy ol general at
tention.

the start, as llio sequel has shown, and, instoad ol six
teen, twenty-four were at Urn selected from the entire
number of competitors. Two more days were ap
pointed for a further test at similar distances, ami
then sixteen were selected, fifteen of whom
hare been shooting lor the past two days
to determine who tho twelve comi>ostng tho team
and reserve should be. This mutter was decided on the
'KKregate scores of the two latest competitions, being
the record for tour d;iys at 800, 900 snd 1,000 yards,
llllccn shots being allowed at such of tho first two
ranges and twenty at tho last mentioned. The highest
possiblo score attainable each day, therefore, wuh 260;
so tbo solections are madn from those who in four days'
practice made the highest records out of a possible

pealed determination to win tbe game.
He missed a shot around tbe table after 13 points. They
each went in for 2 on the following Inning. Gamier
