CENTENNIAL MATTERS.

The price Of admission to the ex-
hibition in Philadelphia will be fifty
cents, payable in one note. The re-
oeivers at the recording turnstiles will
have nothing to do with the notes
except to deeide whether they are
good or bad, and to drop them in the
boxes, where each one will register
itself. An exchange Office Of the Gen.
tenuial national bank will be estab-
lished near each entrance, to change
money for visitors not having fifty
cent notes. This money changer will
be expected,to have no more and no
less money when his work is done
than when he bagan. The centennial
commission concluded that the whole
system- absence Of season tickets
and all-was cheaper and more secure
against fraud than any other known.
In order that the cash in the boxes
may correspond with the indicators,
z dollar note will not be received at
any gate for the admission of two
persons, ncr.two twenty-five cent notes
for that Of one person. No intelli
gent visitor, however. with the faclli-
ties afforded, need get into the "cue'
an arrangement to keep in single file
those about to enter, unprovided with
the required note. In the event of a
resumption Of specie payments prior
to or during the exhibition the rule
will be amended to meet the demand.
The programme for the formal
opening of the Centennial Exhibition
at Philadelphia, on the 10th Of May,
will be received with universal sat-
isfaction. 1t is representative in
character, as we'll as appropriate to
the occasion: Wagner's original
March properly leads the ceremonies,
since guests have the right of place !;
the hymn by John G. Whittier, of
Massachusetts,, will be followed by the
cantata of Sidney Lanire, of Georgia,
North and South grandly harmonic
ing in verse and music; while the
official statement of Gen. Hawley
will lead At once to President Grants
declaration, opening the immense
halls to the public: The work has
been carried on with so much energy
and judgment that we have an agree
able assurance Of an appropriate, dig
ni6ed, and successful Inauguration.
