The Arizona sentinel., 1876-04-29

short cOmlngS Of eXhlDltOrS. Ino commissioners Tn view of the great anxiety that IS felt by the Centennial authorities at the delay of exhibitors in for warding goods, have issued circular, which states that the, according to estimate, about six thousand car loads are to be entered, most of which, from present appearances, will be for warded within the last ten days before the 18th of April, which is positively the last day of entry: This is at the rate of one car load per minute for the ten working hours of each day, and is there' fore an impossibility; but the ef- fort to accomplish it will lead to blocks on the roads, followed by long delays to exhibitors, and to hurry, cOnfusions and breakage. The bIanch tracks upon which exhibits are conveyed into the grounds from the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, are cover ed with freight cars, about fifty of which arrive daily. Many of them have upon their sliding doors sheets of muslin, bearing in huge black letters "1776-ln- ternatiOnal Exhibition - 1876."- This mystic and patriotic inscrip- tion is supposed to have awaken ed in the breasts of rural gazers an intense desire to make pa. triotic pilgrimage next summer to the, this temporary Mecca, to- wards which all loyalty and cu- riOus souls should turn their thoughts and their footsteps, pro- vided if they are wise, with bag and a goodly supply of scrip.
 That our foreign friends do not intend to let slip this opportunity of visiting Brother Jonathan in his own house, and observing and
 criticising his ways is shown by
 the extent to which first cabin passages westward on the princi-
 pal steamship lines have been al ready engaged. Cook, Son X
 Jenkins, the great English and
 Continental tourists agents, have
 booked" @ large number of per | sons in England, Scotland and Ireland alone. This does not in
 cIude, of course, many who vii come on their own hook, or the
 large excursions which are ex pected from the continent. The
 italians of this city are making arrangements for the reception o the CristoforO Colombo Society o Genoa, who, 700 strong, have chartered five steamers and ar'
 to turn their prows to the west ward like their great fellow towns } man, and visit the wonderful lanC
 discovered by him not four hun dred years ago. The excursiOnist will arrive about the fst of July l and expected to make an extend
 ed tour, visiting all the large ci
 ties and points of interest iron
 Maine to California.

 bitiOn Building is undergoing
 rapid transformation, owing t
 the structures which the differ . ent nations are erecting to cOntail the articles of their exhibitors. 4 | city, of varied and picturesque ar t chitecture has sprung into exis . tence. as if at the command of al
