CONCESSION or PRIVILEGES.

One man has offered $4,000 for the

THE PUBLIC COMFORT DEPARTMENT.
This department has a building to be
used as waiting rooms and reading
rooms for visitors, and will be free.
This company will derive revenue by
being allowed to charge small fee for
caring for packages, parcels, and other
things left in its charge by visitors.

will run to and from the city daily on
all railroads, 80 that visitors may lodge
in the suburban towns, neighboring
cities, or in New York city, and then
get to the grounds before those lodging

The iaflux of foreigners will not be
great. The agents of the steamship
company report the prospects of " great
influx of visitors from Europe are very
poor, and say that not over ten thou

the exhibition. The expense, as COM
