graph was executed by w. j. Morgan

in that line is to say. the least, equal to
any similar werks done in Eastern
cities. As soon as the success. of the
exhibition became certainty the
Ohio Managers considered it matter
Of convenience If not of absolute ne
cessity, that there should be some pro-
vision made for the comfort and con-
yenience of the large number Of Ohio
people who will attend, by estabIish-
ing a rallying point at which all could
gather, meet their friends, sec the
Ohio paper. All OF which viii be taker,
receive aud despatch their mail mstter
ana get information wlich would
otherwise be inconvenientif not im-
possible to obtain. In view of these
facts the. Ohio Managers concluded to
erect building for the purpose mem

at the disposal Of the beard oceasioned'
some,embarrassment. as the wealth
and stapding of Ohio, A. ., State re-
quired that she should have at lleast,
