Lady Trader in Pits.

Miss Jennie Benedict, a confectioner, has been elected a member of the Louisville Board of Trade. She is the first woman in the city to join that body.

The transportation facilities would seem to be ample for all possible demands of the mammoth crowds which are expected at the Pan-American Exposition The entire street railway system of Buffalo, driven by the power of Niagara Falls, is so laid out as to secure direct communication from all parts of the city to the Exposition grounds.* At the northern boundary of the grounds there has been built a fine steam railway station. A twotrack steam belt line encircles the city of Buffalo, reaching this station, and all the steam railroads centering in Buffalo have access to these tracks. This means of transportation will be extensively used both for excursion trains from out the city and for conveying people from the various parts of the city to the grounds.
