Another Worlds Exposition.

Expositions are great civilizers. They
bring people together and make them
acquainted. They discover mines Of
precious metals, mountains and beds of
useful necessary minerals, forests of
the most valuable woods, fields of un-
developed fertility, and markets for all
products and manufactures.
The late Worlds Exposition, not
withstanding unfortunate delays and
the execrable weather which deferred
so many from attending, was a Won
derful surprise to the people in these
RESPECTS. 1t was so much a success
that it's friends have determined that
the good work it commenced shall go
on.
The new company called the North,
Central and South American EXPOSE
tion are scattering far and wide their
announcements and advertising mat
ter. 1t has purchased the plant of
buildings of the old exposition. It has
secured the retention Of the best part
of the old exhibits and it will reopen
for period Of twenty weeks on the
10th OF November next.
The various impediments and adj
verse influences that operated so
strongly against the success Of the late
Exposition will be removed. The Gay
of opening is in the most pleasant and
attractive season of the year in that
SECTION. Steam passenger railway COM
munication has been established be-
tween the centre Of the city and the
exposition grounds. This will abolish
one serious objection by visitors OF de-
ficient local transportation.
Railroad rates will be very low, not
exceeding one cent a mile from any
point. Accommo odation in the city will
be abundant and at most reasonable
rates.
The prospects Of success Of the Ex-
position are. very brilliant Capt. S. IL
Buck, who succeeded Major Burke as
the Director General Of: the Worlds
Exposition and gave such universal
satisfaction, is the new Director-Gene.
