CONCESSION OF PRIVILEGES
is as follows:

One man has Offered $4,000 for the
privilege Of sweeping the fifty acres Of
flooring. lie would make his money bv
charging each exhibitor n small fee for
keeping his space clean, and by being per-
mitted to retain money and valuablcs found
in his sweeping operations.
THE PUBLIC COMFORT DEPARTMENT.
This department has n building to be
used as waiting rooms and reading rooms
for visitors, and will be free. This COM
pany will derive revenue by being allowed
to charge n small fec for carrying pack
ages, parcels, and other things left in its
charge by visitors, and by selling newspa-
pers and periodicals. Messengers, for a
small fee, will be dispatched to any part of
the grounds at the bidding of visitors and
exhibitors. This department will be a
great accommodation, and could not we'll
be dispensed with.
RESTAURANTS.
Restaurants will be great benefit to the
public. Six are allowed to be in the
grounds, and are as follows: The French
Restaurant, by Z. Sudreau, OF New York :;
The South" by f. Mercer, of Atlanta,
Ga; Les Trois Frercs Provencaux," bv
l.. Goyard, OF Paris; The German Restnu-
rant, by X. J. LAUDER, of Philadelphin /;
The American Restaurant, by Tobiason &
lIeilboun; The Jewish Restaurant, bv
Chas. Callman. Certainly from this list
every one can find suitable food prepared
to his 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 yisitors, at reasonable charges, by secur-
ing fifteen thousand bed chambers in pri-
vate and public boarding houses. The
Globe Hotel contains l 800 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, so that visitors
may lodge in the suburban towns, neigh
boring cities, or in New York city, and
then get TO the grounds before those lodg-
ing in the suburbs Of the city.
The influx of foreigners will not be
great. The agents of the steamship compa-
nies report the prospects OF great influx
Of foreign visitors from Europe as very
poor, and say that not over ten thousand
foreigners will be present during the exhi-
pitlOHs dh WIN
foreign travel is so great that many will
be deferred from coming.
