Practical Questions Settled
The Centennial Exhibition.

On the subject of hotel accommoda-
tions, the official report of John
Welsh, Esq, President of the Board
of Finance, which has Just been pub
lished, says:
Notwithstanding hindrances to our
progress, our buildings and grounds
are in an unusual state of forwardness
as compared with those of other In
ternationai Exhibitions at a CORES
ponding time; nor will they prevent
the punctual observance of the ap-
pointed day for opening, 10th of May"
At one moment great anxiety was
felt lest there should be scarcity of
accommodations for visitors. 1t has
been entirely removed. Hotels of
very large capacity have been erected
in the immediate vicinity of the Exhi-
bition and throughout the city. Old
ones have been enlarged, and by the
agency of an enterprising association
very large numbers of private dwell
lngs, of which Philadelphia has sixty
thousand more than any other Ameri-
can city, have been utilized for the
purpose so that under no probable
circumstances can any inconvenience
occur for want of comfortable accom-
modations.
"The strongest assurance is also felt
that the charges will be moderate -
In the matter of the charge for adj
mittance, fifty-cent note paid at the
gate admits to grounds, and there is
no further charge. A visitor can en-
ter one building or all of them as he
sees proper. We quote the text of
the report touching this question
"In the arrangements connected
with the entrance and exit of visitors,
exhibitors, and employees, the greatest
simplicity has been aimed at. Each
class will use special gates. The tick
ct for visitors will be ftty-cent note,
and if not in the possession of the Wis
itor it can be obtained in exchange for
other money at an Office near each
gate of entrance Children pay the
same as adults. To vary from a uni
form price entails so many inconven-
fences as to forbid it. Fifty cents for
nine hours visit to museum of the
products of the world, distributed
among beautiful buildings and on
grounds ofsurpassing attractions, must
be satisfactory to every one. Such
exhibitors and employees as are re-
quired on the grounds will be furnish
ed with special tickets. Properly au-
thorized representatives of the press,
within reasonable limits, will be rec
ognized as entitled to free admission. "
