planer from Power Hall to cut up the big feliow.—A very interesting contribution to Power Hall—Mr. George Gray’s department—is in the Geo. T. Smut exhibit. »It is ye old mill—a model of the oldest Irish mill In the country. This mill was built in 1784, by General James Findlay, over one hundred years ago, and is situated on Muddy Creek, at the foot of Devil’s Back-bone, in Green Township, eight miles from Cincinnati, and is now owned and operated by Mr. A. J. K,uehn. This model was made by a son of Mr. Kuehn, at the age of eighteen years, on a scale of one inch to.the foot. It is run by water power, and shows exactly how the old patriarchs managed the milling business. To hear the creaking of the wheel and the soughing of the water over it is to be transported back to the early days.—Among the prominent visitors to the Exposition yesterday was Captain H. H. Williams, of Urbana, President of the Northwestern Ohio Volunteer Firemen’s Association. He is in conference with Commissioner Trost, Chairman of the Firemen’s Tournament, perfecting arrangements for the grand turnout on the 15th and 16th. Cp.tain Williams reports that his association will be represented by twenty companies. A large delegation from the towns in the northwestern part of the State represented by these companies will be present. The last Firemen’s Tournament took place in 1851—thirty-five years ago. The tournament scheme excites much attention and enthusiasm.An erroneous impression bas| gone out that only “service apparatus” will be allowed to be used in the coruiQg tournament. JJy service apparatus is meafit the trucks, hooks and ladders, Ac., in daily use. The Commissioners desire to state that visiting companies will be allowed to use their sporting trucks, or any apparatus they may wish to bring along. *
