HINTS TO CENTENNIAL VISITORS.
| It will not be advisable to secure lodgings
in advance through agencies, unless you are
familiar with the city, and have made up
your mind as to the quarter you wish to live
in, or have friends to choose for you. Other
wise you may find yourself billeted of in hot
and unsavory by-street at long distance from
the exhibition and from all other points of at
traction. If you intend to stay only few
days, the hotels near the exhibition will be, on
the whole, the most desirable; but if you
mean to remain longer than week, 60 first to
one of these establishments or to one Of the
hotels in the city proper, and then look up
lodgings to suit you in private house. Do
not come with the idea that you are going to
see an enlarged State fair, that can be "done"
in single day. Nothing less than a, week Of
steady application will suffice for rapid sur
vey of the great show. In the main building
alone there are eleven miles of aisles and pas
sage-ways between the lines Of show cases. If
you are absolutely limited to three or four
days, you would better divide your time as
follows: Devote the first day to taking gen.
eral look at the interiors of the six principal
buildings-(in six or seven hours of hard
tramping he can get through them alD-then
make up your mind what department you
most want to see and devote the rest of your
time to seeing thoroughly, so as to take home
some clear and lasting impressions. If you
| roam ABOUT am1essly your f6coIIectioDs OF the
fair will be wholly chaotic. In case you are
fond of art, two days spent in the art hall will
of the modern schools, whereas an hour or two
of hurrying from gallery to gallery will leave
in the memory only tumble of color and
forms. If your special bent is for machinery,
or farm products and processes, or mineralo-
~, or chemistry, or ceramics, or whatever it
may be, after general glance of the exhibi-
ton, stick to the department that interests and
benefits you most. Glow long will it take to
see everything thoroughly" the reader may
ask. At least month, and the time will be
we'll spent, too. At its conclusion you will be
familiar with the best arts and industries of
the entire globe. The cost of a months stay
in Philadelphia, with daily visits to the exhi-
bition, will be as follows, supposing the visitor
to practice such economy as is not inconsistent
with comfort and with the object of his visit:
