THE AFTERNOON ORGAN RECITALS
are conducted now by Prof. Jarvis But
Ter, young Floridian, but more recently
from Baltimore. He presided for the first
time at the instrument Yesterday. and
met with great warmth from fine audi
ence. The Professor is a decided prodigy,
being barely twenty years old and one of
the most skillful OrganiSts ever heard

who performs with him in duet.
Signor Liberati, the great Italian cor
netlst, who has been performing for some
time with Cappa's band, makes his
music upon cOrnet of pure gold set with
diamonds. If any man can ever find
pleasure in blowing his own horn that
man ought to be the SignOr.
Major Peters, who came from Birming-
ham with the Alabama exhibit. and who
has been lying critically i'll at the Gait
House for several days, has since died.
and Captain Nowlln, wh6is in charge of
the Arkansas department, has suffered a
sad bereavement in the death of his two
children, which occurred at the Standi
ford Hotel within the past two days. They
had come on with their mother from the
East to join their father here, and having
but partially recovered from an attack of
scarlet fever suffered a relapse on their
arrival and yielded to it. Thus the season
of mourning treads swiftly upon the hour
OF rejoicing and funeral bells break i'm
upon the merriment.
when things of an enlivening nature
happen in Louisville they ALWAYS fall 10
gether in heap. Fair week begins ON
the 18th, and the Kentucky editors have
been invited to come and display them
selves III lofty style and ceremony at that
time, IN compliment to whom the occasion
is known as ''kentucky week" The man-
tlty and quality of sherbet these quill
drivers absorb, not only on their native
heath, but when on other peoples native
territory, makes the head swim in contem-
plating. If the Georgia Legislature should
happen in at such an auspicious moment.
how particularly nice that would be for
the Legislature.
THE FALL MEETING OF THE JOCKEY
CLUB
is already gathering in its devOtees for
the 24th. 1t is to be exceptionally bril-
contested for and turfmen are getting
ready for jubilee.
Lord Chief Justice COleridge has been
invited to visit Louisville and will accent.
The deliberations on the subject were
conducted with due sOlemnity and dis
cretlon. 1t was arranged that the direc- !
tors should tender the invitation to visit |
the Exposition, with delicate care not to /
give the guest the character of an attrac- |
a
affairs would naturally fire the soul
OF the distinguished stranger with |
indignant rage, and it seems to be CON
ceded that a noble BrItOn with several |
preflXes attached has a right and title to |
be very sulphurOus indeed. He will come |
as the guest of the Exposition, but upon |
his arrival will be taken in hand by the |
Louisville bar, who instigated the invita-
ton and who will give him a spread at |
the Pendennis Club. There was much |
Wavering between this and the Gait |
House, but the latter is dedicated more 10 /
the masses, While there is flavor Of eX- |
cluslveneSS about a Peudennis dinner J
that sits the sOurmand apart from the |
common herd. If there be ANYTHING i'm
signs. the respected ears of the Chief jus |
tlce must nave waXed fiery red when the |
members of the bar were consulting TO- |
gether as to how much he would cost. Some
prudent souls thought il he was going to |
be expensive they had better leave him /
alone, Then they marked down the menu |
to the lowest ebb, congratulated them
selves that they had disposed of the diff
cuity SO happily, and pledged themselves
that tue LORD Chief Justice, no matter
now mucn ne was dlspOfed to eat, should
not cost them over five hundred dollars.
so it is to be hoped wise presciance
will assist the hOnOred guest To gauge
his appetite with such fine tact that the
hearts OF his entertainers shall be filled /
