aud continue five months. haS progressed steadily since the work began. Splendid attractions have been secured and substantial re. suits obtained. The management, composed of able business men ot e the Crescent City, have discarded all clap trap and sensationalsm, in announcing the situation of af- airs. and by this straightforward course, have inspired confidence in their statements that has earn ed for them respectful and close attention.
 At first there was a natural hcsi- tation on the part of the States and Territories of the United States to rc-emhark in another Exposition at New Orleans; the colossal pro. potions assumed by tao Worid'S S Fair last year made 1t appear doubtful that any set of men how ever capable, could organize an exposition that would in any way eqnal the original effort, with it's National backing and all the en- thusiasm inspired by the initial opening O. so grand an enterprise It was this feeling of uncertainty which the new men had to remove.

 The Spanish and Portuguese American countries have likewise seized upon the idea with &vidity, and they will forcibly illustrate the rich resources and possibilities of their countries by valuable displays of artistic, as well as commercial, importance.
 The movement having thus been effectively started the management 0 { the American Exposition have devoted time and labor to giving the grand enterprise a diversity of important attractions that will commend it as the grandcst Expo sition of modern days.
 In order to have it properly ap. preciated the comfort of visitors has been carefully regarded, and tne all important step taken to SC. cure rapid transit from the city to tho grounds. A steam railroad is being built, which will be comple- ted long before the opening day, to consist of a double track road, laid with steel rails, rom Canal and Carondclct streets to a point inside the grounds. < five mile drive on St, Charles street, now paved with street asphalt, is anoth. or means ot reaching the grounds, while street cars and steamboats complete tfe transportation offer ed.
