Special Correspondence of the Appeal
LOUISVILLE, August l7.-Wheu Louisville
decided upon having the great Southern Er-
position, she used far greater foresi ght than
any OF her Southern sisters, snd night wise
Iy, too, We might say. Its location mere
guaranteed visitors both from north and
south OF the Oaio river, aud besides a more
attractive city than Louisville could not
have been chosen. Fully approaching her
advantages, the CITY has assumed a holiday
appearance, and buntiog., hags and gsrlsnds
sdoru the principal nou-es. Everything has
assumed an air OF Joy and welcome.
Strangers and guests feel themselves at home
st once. The accs ssibility OF the Exposition
from the city is a feature that lie 70 be much
commended, as q fife en- minutes ride in the
street-csrs lands you at the Exposition door.
To celebrate the opening OF this worid's fair
and also 10 exhibit the energy OF the city, n
new illustrated paper was begun, called the
Figaro. It's fronuspiece represented young
Figaro" newly Matched, while the various
members of the fe altered tribe, representing
Inc Courier. Journal, Cincinnati Commercial
and Memphis APPEAL, stood around IN sur
prise at the d dglrng, while Puck views the
scene from the branch OF = tree. 10 matter
the new paper is similar 10 Puck. Its illus-
~traiions OF the Exposition are very good,
and IL will ne dou % b. a feature of Louis
ville's future.

In point of space and area this is the third
largest exhibit ever held, being inferior only
10 The two London exhibitions and
the great Centennial. The grounds and The
adj .cent park have heen put into beautiful
ord,r, and attract a, much attention as The
EXHIBITS. The msrvelous electric railway
goes around the park, a distance OF 5000 feet,
and for the small sun Of ten cents the round
trip may be made. Perhaps an explanation
