The south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1879-1883, 1881-10-11
At LouisviIle-A Few Notes.

Tuesday and Wednesday. This was
done between Press Convention meet
ings.
louisville is great city, a large
city with long straight streets, tine
residences and big yards. 1t also has
some business houses, factories, etc.
But any stranger riding along Fourth
street and Broadway and viewing the
miles Of pa.atial homes, can not help
but wonder why there is not a bust
ness done in the city corresponding
with all this show.of wealth. We did.
| Three biz shows are the attraction
IN The city this week-the Exposition,
Ithe Jockey Club races and the Louis
| vile Fair.
| The Exposition is the best yet had
in the city. AT Eight, especially, it is
maglificently grand, and Superinten-
dent Maginnls is certainly entitled to
great credit for his excellent manage
ment.
The Jockey Club races wore Of a
very exciting nature and were well at:
tended. The mile track is a faultless
one, and the view from the seats in
the stand is simply sublime, the sur
rounding country, including the big
hills on the north side of the Ohio
river for distance Of fifteen ortwenty
miles, presenting picture Of nature
grandly attractive.
The Fair is pronounced by ali sec
ling it as a grand success, but just why
it was held the same week of The
Jockey Club races, il having trotting
races each afternoon, is something
| that we can't understand as it is ont
Of the hardest things in the world, fol
a man to be at two races at the same
4 time
Everybody bets on races in Louis
iville. We even bet in cur mind, and
lost every time.
We met Colonel Craddock at til,

Mumfordsvilie, Ky. was with him
Cradiock said he knew old Muniord''
grandfather when the latter was l
baby.
