This department hiss building t
be used as waiting rooms and reading
rooms for visitors, and will be free
This compsny will derive revenue b,
being allowed to chsrgs q small fe,
for caring packages, parcels, sn'
other things left in lis charge b,
visitors, and by selling newspaper
and periodicals. Messengers, for |
small fee, will be dispatched to an,
part oil the grounds at the bidding o
visitors and exhibitors. This depart
ment will be great accommodation
and could not we'll be dispensed

RESTAURANTS.
Restaurants will be great benefi
10 the public. Six are allowed to bs
in the grounds, and are as follows
The French Restaurant, by p. Su
tlreau, of New York; "The South,
by +. Mercer Of Atlanta, Ga; lie:
Trois Freres Provencaux," by l.
Goyald, Of Paris; The German Res.
tsurant, by r. J. LAUDER, of Philadel.
phia; The American Restaurant, by
Tobiason & Heilboun: The Jewish
Restaurant, by Charles Callman.
Certainly from this list every one can
find suitable food prepared to hi:
liking.
WHERE SHALL WE LODGE
is another important consideration.
The means of accommodation are
good. The Lodging House Agency
has made complete arrangements for
housing the great influx of visitors,
at reasonable charges, by securing
fifteen thousand bed chambers in
private and public boarding houses.
The Globe Hotel contains 1,S00
rooms and can accommodate 5000
guests. The rates Of the other hotels
will not be increased. Many trains
will run to and from the city daily on
all the railroads, 50 that visitors may
lodge in the suburban towns, neigh
boring cities, or in New York city,
and then get TO the grounds before
those lodging in the suburbs Of the
city.
The influx Of foreigners will not be
great The agents Of the steamship
companies report the prospects Of a
great influx Of visitors from Europe
as very poor, and say that not over
ten thousand foreigners will be pres
ent during the exhibition. The ex-
pense, as compared with foreign
travel, is go great that many will be
deferred from coming.
