THE SUMNER EXODUS,
OF to tho Centennial.

At this time when SO many of our pat,
rons are preparing for or contemplating
their usual trip during the summer sol
stice, 1t is we'll to present to our readers
the prominent advantages offered by the
railroad running direct to the Centennial
grounds. To this end we would speak of
the economy, convenience and desirabili.
ty of taking the Great Fort Wayne &
Pennsylvania Line, which is running
three (3) daily Centennial trains from
Chicago to the very gate at the main en-.
trance. These trains are made up of the
elegant Pullman Parlor, Sleeping and Ho-
tel Coaches, and combine the luxury and
comfort of life at home, yet gliding over
this famous route, noted for its perfect
equipment and careful management, at q
safe rate of speed never yet attained by
any rival. A feature not to pass un-
noticed is the facility for reaching hotels.
In the immediate vicinity, within five
minutes walk of the Centennial Depot,
are to be found hotels, at which good &C.
commOdations can be obtained for two to
five dollars per day.
The Encampment at Elm Station, near
the Centennial Grounds, was established
by the National Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, for the purpose of accommo-
dating the large number of agriculturists
who desire to visit the Exhibition, and to
afford comfortable and suitable resting
place at the moderate expense of two dol
lars per day.
Taking into consideration the immense
sum of money, time and labor expended
by this line to render perfect its accom-
modatlons for the comfort and safety Of
its patrons, we unhesitatingly recommend
it as the most desirable route to reach the
Centennial Exhibition.
