Then it was, too, that her people en-
couraged improvements in streets,
public buildings, and a love for the
handsome and beautiful in design and
architecture, which brought forth the
highest attachments of civilization by
developing schools Of training in art and
musical discipline, until the city was
unanimously accorded the nom de
plume, "Paris of America" This cog
nomen is one of her most worthy titles.
as the sciences, arts, etc., flourish to a
degree of liberality unexcelied on the
Continent. Not yet satisfied to lay
down the scepter of worthy achieve
ments, the enterprise OF Cincinnatians,
in 1863, invented the Exposition, an un-
heard of project, but which by series
of annual triumphs and successes. won
such popular favor that other cities
adopted the plan. and the industrial con-
tagion spread far and remote, until now
the inhabitants of every part of the globe
have an opportunity of testifying to its
magnificent results. The "Mother of
Expositions" is the last, and We; one of
the most brilliant stars that twinkle in
the circulation of Cincinnati's superb
tiara. The Exposition idea was born
and has grown to full vigor and matur-
ity, and the people who have been iden-
plans and workings, thoroughly
understand what Is necessary
TO insure complete success. Naturally,
with the splendid growth of the city. and
the surrounding DEVELOPMENTS, the re-
sources to draw from in this i'm mediate
vicinity for the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the State of Ohio are Immense.
No other city in Ohio enjoys such adj
ysntages, neither is there another city of
like magnitude at the very center of the
population of the United States. These
aicne speak volumes in favor of the
Centennial Exposition in Cincinnati.
Railroads and rivers furnish every
means of rapid communication and
transit to and from every point of the
compass, to the greatest number of
States and Territories. Cincinnati takes
pride in her ample hotel accom- mo6a-
dations. They are unsurpassed. Then.
too, millions of people and billions OF
wealth are in close proximity. In short,
no other city can show so many advan-
tages and inducements of location.

THE REASON WHY
A Centennial Celebration is Appro-
pirate at Cincinnati,
The Home Of the Arts, Science and
Culture, and the Center Of
Population o. the Uni
ted States.

The position and growth of Cincin-
natl has given her proud distinction in
history such as no other city in the
West has enjoyed. Soon after the COM
mencement of the settlement of the
Northwest Territory, October, 1873,
fourteen years before the great State OF
Ohio was carved out of the wilderness,
Cincinnati became the seat Of commerce
for this section, outstripping in growth
all other Occidental towns. Reaching
southwark, by the enterprise of her citi-
zens, she grasped the commerce of that
region, and for long time was styled
"King OF the Cotton Trade" the ship
ments OF that article to the North being
made exclusively through this port.
Next her citizens turned their attention
to dealing in swine, and soon, about
1860, Cincinnati developed into the great
pork emporium OF America. About this
time also, she had risen to such pre-
eminence in rank, wealth, population
and Importance, that her sister rivals
dubbed her the "Queen City of theWest."

feet floor space for machinery. Bridges
span the canal at Madison, Twelfth. and
Fourteenth streets. At Madison, Grant,
and Fourteenth streets there will be six
teen-foot wide openings, and engines and
hose reels will be constantly near al
hand in case Of fire.
Along the sides OF the canal will run
the towpath, and no overworked tow
mule ever trod SO aristocratic a walk as
will the Miami and Erie motive animal
during the hundred days of the Expcsi-
ton. The towpath for its entire length
of one-fourth of a mile through the
building has been pIanked and Is rallied
In at the side from the water. A dozen
or fifteen feet above the level of the tow
path 10 the floor. A pretty fence pro-
vides an easy resting place for the visit

the passing canal boats. 1t may safely
be said that the navigators of the
Miami and Erie viii avail themselves to
the full extent of the privilege of passing
free through one of the main buildings
of the Exposition. Another feature of
the canal during the Exposition will he

gaily costumed gondolers. song, delib-
crate motion, and all. Of course a small
sum win he charged, but no one will
mind that, for ride in a goudola below
the level Of the floor will he welcome
relief when the visitor has tired of the
whir and buzz OF machinery.
The engiDe-house to supply the power
to this building is located al the corner
of Madison and Plum streets. Lines OF
shafting will extend the entire 200 feet
of the building. Power Hall is almost
completed.
At the Twelfth and at the Fifteenth
street ends of this long building the
canal for considerable distance will be
bridged over by a square floor; space,
liz feet by ll2. At the four corners will
DO towers in which ex nibitors or others
will have Office room. There will lie Two
public entrances 10 this building, one
from Twelfth and tho other from Fiji
tenth street. In addition, there will
also be three entrances from the main
Exposition building directly across Elm
street, one from old Power Hall and the
other two from the north and south
corridors.
1t is a beautiful sight standing at Ell
Their end of this vast hall and looking
through at the perspective of graceful
curving arches. W hich spring from either
side upward and over the canal and
support the roof. The roof is in two
sections, the better to ad init light. That
part over the canal is placed about ten
feet higher up than the shed-like roofs,
sioping downward over the sides. This
ten feet space has been utilized for win
dow purposes and an unbroken line
of glass extends down on both
sides the entire length. A similar
line OF windows just under the caves OF
the side roofs, also admits light, SO that
there liz not dark spot anywhere in the
whole building.
curious freak in architecture may be
witnessed at one point along the east
side OF this new building. Here, il the
roof had been put on in the usual way,
it would have shut out the light and air

genuity Of the carpenter here suggested

EXPOSITION HISTORY.
Cincinnati the Pioneer in Such In.
dustrial Expositions.
Fifty Years Ago She Held One I'm.
der the Auspices of the Me-
chanic's Institute.

A half century ago the first public
Exposition in Cincinnati, or possibly the
In the country, was held under the au-
spices of the Ohio Mechanics Institute.
A brief glance at the times and their
characters may be OF interest Cincin-
natl then had q population Of 10000.
Martin Van Buren, was President of the
United States. Henry Clay, John c.
Calhoun, Thos. Benton and others OF
that galaxy of illustrious statesm en-
were in the Senate. Salmon p. Chase
was practicing law on Third street, be-
tween Main and Sycamore. Robert
Lucas was Governor of the State, Sla-
very was extant, postage was from 81
% cents, according to distance. Amer
lean arts and industries were In their
infancy and any amount OF American
history had yet TO happen.
Space and time being limited, only a
brief glance can be taken ct this first
fair, so suspicious in It's rise; so mo-
mentous in its consequences. Home in
dustry was tho watchwOrd and to dem
onstrata the progress made the attention

lined with zinc as to be elastic, which
makes 1t much more easy and service
able to those w no use 1t.
Agricultural implements seem not to
have been exhibited until ten years la
ter, excepting an apple parer and
corn shelter. In 1883 the last OF the Me-
chanios' Institutes prosperous fairs was
held. Twelve years later the
Mechanics Institute Directory called
to it's aid the Board Of Trade I'D the
Chamber of Commerce. The success
is too well known to be repeated. They
have drawn from the utmost parts of
the earth, as the limit of their resources.
No art, no industry, no sciences, no
learning had been neglected, and today,
looking down the long vista Of fifty
years, the venerable mem bers OF the old
Mechanics Institute can look with honor
upon this elimination of their primitive
labors as one of the not to be forgotten
conquests OF peace.

Ohio had fine building OF stone and
wood, the materials and furnishings of
which were contributed by Ohio firms
This building occupied one end of State
Row, close by main entrance to the
Centennial grounds, and 10 was well
supplied with Buckeye relics of historic
interest, reading room with Ohio news
papers, &c.
Four years were occupied In prepar-
ing for the Philadelphia Centennial Ex-
position; but one year for that to be
held here this year, but in proportion to
the time, effort and money spent there
is reason for the confident hope that the
Cincinnati Centennial will be proper
tionately as successful as was it's great
prototype.

CINCINNATI
CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

Over three million feet OF lumber,
thirty car loads OF glass and many tons
of iron, and dozens OF barrels OF paint
will be consumed in the entire construc-
ton. Never before In Cincinnati
has such an immense amount Of
work been done In so short a time.
or course the interior decorations will
consume considerable more time. but one
can safely say the Centennial Exposition
buildings will prove to be one of the
quickest jobs on record.
The new buildings will have about
twenty-three acres Of floor space. This,
with the floor space of Music Hall and
the permanent Exposition Buildings,
will make an aggregate of almost forty
acres.
