THE EXPOSITION AT NEW
ORLEANS.

settle upon a boarding place If you
arrive on the Crescent route from
Cincinnati, it brings you to one side
of the town. Buses and street cars
both run, the former carrying you
where you direct, the other to Canal
street. The same is true of the Chi
cago route. Avoid hacks in New
Orleans. Never employ one without
a distinct and definite understanding
as 10 price, service ETC., before start
ing, for they are not regulated by law
and are most eXtortionate in their
charges. With a little care you will
learn street car routes and find they
will carry you to all portions of the
town. One fact bear in mind: All |
street cars either start directly on Ca
nal street, or at the commencement |
of some street Immediately at Canal.
If you get lost, get into the first car
that comes along and remain in
it and it will carry you to Canal
street. Only one line crosses Canal
street, this running on both sides of
the city. That line you will take if
you come from Chicago, and you
must leave the car at Canal street.
A very good way is to ask, but Ca
nal street is easily recognized. 1t is
very wide, has rows of trees, and
street car tracks down its center,
and the buildings have most of them
galleries which project over the street
nearly to the curb. All that portion
of the city lying below Canal, OF on
it's left hand side facing the river, is
known as the French part of the town,
that in the opposite direction as the
American. Streets change their
names when Canal street is crossed,
that is, on one side we have St.
Charles street, and on the other side
Rue Roydle or Royal street.
s'How are we to find a boarding
placer" If you can arrange so as to
: arrive in New Orleans in the morning
] it will be best. To do this, one should
e leave Cincinnati at night, and Chica-
e go the same, or else stop off some
a where for twelve hours. "No stop
: overs" are to be permitted | know,
:, but happen to know this fact: If a
y traveller has a continuous passage
e ticket and chooses to stop off train
# or move at a point where change IN
n conductors is made, no notice is TAX
o en- of it, and no permission need be
l. asked. Between Cincinnati and New
is Orleans the change in conductors is
$ at Louisville, KY, Nashville, Tenn.
IF and at Montgomery, Ala.
