HINTS TO CENTENNIAL VISITORS.

Col. Martin, editor Of the Atchison Cham
pion, who is one of the Centennial Mama
gers of this State, and who has spent the
greater part Of the summer in Philadelphia,
gives the following advice to thoee who con-
template visiting the big show:
Eve heard lady say, short time ago,
that she would be very busy for several
weeks, making dresses to wear at the Cen
tennixi. There is one thing that no sensi-
bic lady visitor to the great Exhibition
does, and that is, wear costly or elaborate
dresses while there. People don't 20 to the
Centennial to study costumes or TO admire
or even look at elaborate toilets. They are
too much occupied and interested in the in
Vulnerable obi ecls on exhibition 70 know or
care how any body is attired. Besides, the
exhibition buildings are dusty places, and
are often crowded. The dust and the crowd,
will soon destroy elegant costumes. Plain,
servicable, neat dresses are most suitable
for such place, and most fashionable, too,
because the ladies of Philadelphia and
those cities nearest to the Exhibition un-
derstand the facts We have stated, and they
have sensibly adopted the fashion of visi-
ting the Centennial dressed plainly and
neatly. A complete linen suit is one of the
most servicable and satisfactory costumes a
lady visitor can adopt
Visitors to Philadelphia can secure rooms
in advance by addrvssing the Centennial
Lodging House Agency, q responaible and
reputable organization. Otherwise, 70 to a
hotel, and make your temporary head quar-
ters there for few days, until you can find
a boarding house that suits you. Buy a
copy OF the Ledger, in which you will find,
every morning, from three to four columns
Of room to let" advertised. You can find,
With little trouble, quarters to suit either
yonr pure or your taste. There are in
Philadelphia scores OF private houses that
offer large, we'll furnished, comfortable
room, with breakfast and supper, at from
$l.50 to $500 per day, and no visitor need
fear that he Will not be able to secure such
accommodation. The city is not crowded,
and is not likely to be. Lodgings are abun-
dant, and the supply has thus far outsun
the demand. -F s
Don't put on . new pair of boots or
shoes. Easy shoes or boots are indispensi-
bic. The walking and standing one must
do in SEEING the sights render tight shoes or
boots simply intolerable.
If you can choose your time for going,
make your visit during September or Oct0-
Der. These will be the most pleasant of all
the months in which to see the Exhibition.
The show closes On the 10Th Of November,
and IL will be complete until the closing
day. No article on exhibitions can b. taken
away until the last day of the show.
