LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 21.-Exeur
sions are frequently gotten up il
different states to attend the South
ern Exposition, and it is a good idea
A number of acquaintance can thu:
visit this wonderful collection o.
works of art and mechanical geniu:
at very reasonable cost. The ques
tion of reducing entrance frees from
80 TO % cents was discussed, and a:
the directors stated That Tuesday:
and Saturdays were % cent days
there was no reason why the 30 cen
rate should not remain IN statd qut
during other days.
The attendance increases daily
and constitutes a very intelligent
well-dressed and handsome populace
Especially the visitors distinguished
as the 'gentler sex"
A feature just "put on the boards
is the fruit display, located in tn,
northwest part of the building. Il
is very fine, consisting of apples
peaches, pears, grapes, of many
choice varieties, and several smaller
fruits. The present collection i:
principally Kentucky and Indiana
productions. but it is liable to slim
ulate other states in being repre-
sented..
In music, in art, in fireworks, tht
Southern Exposition will either have
the best displays or none at all.
The fact that Paine is the pvro
teehnist who is conducting and get
ting up the illuminations, and thai
over $1,000 a week for one nigh
Thursday is spent to have this de
partment alone, perfect, shows thai
the management take not into con
sideration cost when quality i.
wanted.

Those who are posted in this line
will redily recognize the magnitude
and value of the above fireworks dis
play.
1t is said that in Landscape Art
American artists are leading the
world. Several young artists who
make specially of this line of work
have come prominently before the
public of late through the American
Art Association, Of New York, who
are making the art display here.
Chas. Melville Dewey is one of the
parties referred to, and in his picture
Sunset" is shown wonderful
golden glow in the sky along the hor
lion, deepening to crimson above, ant
endingin the upper sky, with. erin
son and gold clouds floating in sky
of greenish hue pervaded by cad
MUM. The effect is truthful and
gorgeous almost beyond description
AT the left there is a group of tree:
of dark green in shadow, with ligh
gleeming through their lower branch
es. Some houses in the distance are
silhouetted against the bright sky
and Swallowed in a shining pool il
the underground. A road leads GU
in the direction of the sunset, and a
the right is rambling rail fence
half hidden by bushes and furry
growth The picture breathes thu
sentiment of country life in quite al
marked degree as does Mr.. Dewey
other pictures, which conclusivel,
demonstrate the fact that the artist
soul is in what he paints.
We could 90 on and take up 45I
different pictures and describe same
but the pleasure in art is derived
through viewing same not reading
about it.
Soon Damrosches' Orchestra will
give away to Cappa's Military Band
and reed and brass instruments will
take the place of the violin and harp
Cappa's Band, of course, is recog
nized as the best in the United
States, and is doubtless the highes
priced. 1t is seldom he can or will
leave New York, and the manage
mentshould be congratulated upol
securing his band even at any cost
The daily press of New York cal
hardly say things good enough abou
his work, and fill columns each day
concerning this wonderful band
When we have seen and heard hin
we will write you more about him.
OF course there are, as at all expo
sitions, a number of persons who at
tend same for business purposes only
either to buy or sell. Many impor
ted articles from foreign countries
are for sale, and you can here fine
many costly and curious articles
which have been put on the Ameri
can market for the tirsptime. Yor
can within half an hour pass through
the business thoroughfares, as it
were of Paris, London, st. Petersburg
Jerusalem, Damascus, Pekin, Berlin
Constantinople, Mexico, and South
American cities, and purchase the
manufactured articles peculiar tc
each. This is in itself great adj
vantage to many people.
Mr.. w. H. White, the patent gate
man, is one of those who came here
to make money, and he does it. He
has averaged over $4,000 per week
of sales of state, county and farm
rights to manufacture and sell. His
gate is made to run back along the
fence, and is without hinge, mortise
or lennon, and can be opened or shut
without getting out of-your buggy or
wagon, or of your horse. 1t is
cheap to construct, and any farmer
can make it with saw and Ratchet.
