81. The Exposition is of course the grand
center of attraction, and well worthy that
distinction, being most magnificent dis
play of Kentucky,s resources and an honor
to the people Of louisville; and its success
so far has been In keeping with its magnifi-
cence, and its managers expect to reap a
still richer harvest In the remaining days of
its continuation. sd Ct al
Among the many schemes Of amusement

LiederkraBz and their guests who assist In
the celebration; several cities being repre-
sented by similar societies. The Jubilee
eliminates on the Both in q great gala ball,
which is to be the climax of the three days
entertainment. The Governor and several
prominent State officials have been invited
and are expected to be present.
. The Germans also propose to furnish
Louisville with several Gonths of German
Opera the coming season, subscriptions for
that purpose being quite liberal, so far. a.
We have already noticed a good many
Nashville visitors at the Exposition;
others who contemplate visit will know
that the popular Louisville Hotel with
mine host Kesn at the helm, is again under
full head way, and is sustaining its former
reputation admirably, and is as great IA
vorite with the Nashville people as ever.
The managers of the Library Lottery are
overrun with letters and orders from all
parts of the country, and it is estimated
that BY the day of drawing not ticket win
remain unsold. Immense orders are receiY-
ed every day; one from the Pacific coast of
$1,000, having been recently filed. ~,
In general business and improvement
Louisville is taking immense strides, buil6-
i1gs are going up on all sides and many
streets are fairly blockaded. i. The business
houses being of a most substantial charsc-
ter and magnificent appearance. Main
street is receiving Nicolson pavement
which is soon to be completed and which
will be a vast improvement on the old boul-
der. The Louisville and Nashville and
Great Southern road is building magnifi.
cent house for its executive and ticket
Offices on the corner of Second and Main,
the lower and uppsr stories of which viii be
fitted up for the Western Union Telegraph
Company in most elegant style. az
Among the projected improvements is an
immense union depot, to take the place Of
the present temporary one. It has not,
however, taken any decided shape yet.
Z Taken altogether, the future of the Falls
City is most bright one, and ere long she
can snap her fingers at her rival up the
river in utter defiance of her power.
The Hon. jeff Davis has been sojourning
in the city for the past few days, and visit
ed the Jefferson county fair now in progress
here. He was, OF course, cordially received,
but didn't make any speeches. -s-a --..
We hope Nashville viii not allow her Ex-
position building to be sold for the paltry.
debt which hangs over it. 1t would be a
singing disgrace to her. G. W. A.
