An encampment of Federal and Con federate veterans is being planned. There will be a Baptist Congress, addressed by leading clergymen of that demonination. There is talk of a grand Masonic service at St. John’s Day, Doccmbcr 27, on the Exposition grounds, and other or ders are considering the propriety of special festivals. Sportsmen, boating men, wheelmen nnd the like will be here, for regattas and similar contests. Dairymen, cot ton pis liters, and commercial boards will also havo conventions here during the winter. How New Orleans will accommo date so vast a number of viators is a problem she carefully studied. She has no groat number of hotels and the new ones built this year or in process of construction now nre few. The St. Louis, just open ed, will accomodate about one thousand guests. Others will be less commodious. Thcro has been some indefinite tilk of bringing the steamship Great Eastern over here to serve as a Heating hotel during the Exposition. The local restaurant keepers arc extending their facilities somewhat in the city, and out at tho gronnds there wiil bo countless cafes and lunch oounters. Yet all these aro inade quate to tho proper entertainment of the enormous number of visitors that arc naturally expected. To an unusual degree, therefore, this want will be met by private fami lies. It is not realized, pcrinp3, in the North how much suffering ha. pre vailed in tho South since the late civil war, among the cultured and once wealthy people, ft-om poverty growing out of that conflict. I’cople of this general chaiacter, with fine tastes and other enviable trails, bnt with sadly wasted purs es, have consented to receive visi tors during the fair, and in order to put tho former nnd tho latter in communication with each other, a department of information and ac commodation lias been organized, under llie auspices of tho Exposi tion management, with an office at lC-fJOravici- street. This bureau, conducted by responsible persons, and making no charge for services to applicants, has sent circulars all over town by tho bushel to ascer tain who will give board and lodg ing to people coming to tho fail- and on wlmt terms. The answers have been codified, and it appears ibut ample accommodations, at prices tanging from $1 to $3 a day can be furnished in this way to S8,- 000 ghcsls. The letters of inquiry from persons intending to visit New Orleans this winter, and desir ous of securing quarters at sotno of theie places, wilt be promptly an swered by the bureau; and further negotiations will be conducted when asked. It will assist tho bureau greatly in this task if ap plicunts signify a preference for some particular part of the city. With this in view, a study of the history, topography and features of New Orleans in advance may- profit those who'ntend to come to this fair. At this point the Mississippi river makes a double curve, like a letter 8 turned down upon its side. The Crcsent City originally lay on the north shore of the bend toward one's right hand. Now it reaches along up stream into the other one, and has a length of seven miles, with an average breadth of two. On the north the city is skirted by Lake Poncbartrain, to which ship ping gets access from the older part of the city by canals, and from which it passes out eastward to Mobile, Pensacola and other coast harbors. A large po.-tion of the city Is below high water mark in the river; and it has been ncces- sa-y to protect it, therefore, not only on the water fronts, bnt also along its eastern and western boun daries by strong Icvcis. Areas of considerable siz* ia the city limits aro still little more than swamps or barren pastures; and various bayous intersect ibu town, giving outlet to sewage that could not otherwise be easily disposed or. The older part of the city, the French and Spanish quarter, is to the eastward or down stream, in the southwestern part of the town. Quaint architecture, the French tongue, no little onltur* nnd much more romantic interest characterize the ancient region- moet remote from the Fair) white-newer-potions and perhaps more wealth are.Ip be found, in nearer proximity to the City Park. Five lines of horse cars traverse tho city esetJrdd west; and numerous steamers wilt ply between the lower landings and Exposition wharf all winter. ■; While the doirn town boarding houses will be the cheapest, doubtless, their patrons will need a little more time to go to and from thb Fair every day. The cooking in New Orleans is largely French, and generally good; so that visitors may gxpeot'to fare in these private houses quite at well, at least, as at many Northern summer resorts. Major E. A. Burke,., director- general of the Fair, and the city government held a prolonged and earnest conference last week over cab rates, show lloenses and many other matters of much importance to exhibitors and sight seem. An endeavor is being made to secure, through the city counoil, a reduc tion in the cab tariff.' At present it is $2.25 a mile. The eab drivers have an association which in.not willing to rcduco prices. The street cars alone, are inadequate to the traffic. The Coney Island steamboats, however, swift and ea> pacions, will probably come down bore for servioe during the Fair and formidable competition with land transportation routes is thus promised. The management has refused to admit any “aide shows” to the Exposition grounds, and haa even refused an offer of $100,Q00..fqr, a privilege of this character. It; ia designed to give admission,'for one fifty cent ticket, to all that is worth seeing ia the whole exhibi tion. And in order to preserve the dignity and swell of the treas ury receipts of the Exposition, the director-general is trying to induce the municipal authorities to keep all cateh-penUy shows at least threo blocks away from the grounds, by withholding, licenses to all proprietors applying for such. Theatrical and circus and panorama managers are here in great numbers, and they aim to reap as high a harvest as possible during the gay soason now so close at hand. A question of muoh general in- terest, not yet decided, is whether tho exhibition will bu elesed on Suuday or not. The management are evidently divided in opinion, and it Is doubtlnl whether Gen. Hawley’s policy at the Centennial Exposition will be carried ont rightly. HoWever, it is intimated, semi officially, that the -machinery at least will stop on Sunday. AMIER80XVILLE.
