rHE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.
which Opens In Cincinnati July ..

h1ch Opens C1nclnn1C July -
No event of the past decade has created
rs much interest in the whole country as
the coming Of the Centennial Exposition OF
the Ohio Valley and Central States, which
opens its doors in Cincinnati on the nations
birthday July ~, to continue Tor one nun
dred days and nights-a celebration in honor
of the one hundredth anniversary OF the
settlement of the Northwest Territory.
Unlimited means have been placed at the
disposal Of the managers by the enterpris-
ing business element OF the Queen City, and
nothing is being left undone that will con-
duce to the success OF the undertaking. In
stead Of LOCALS some suppose-it Is
National event, made so by the hearty CO.
operation on the part OF dozen OF the CHIEF
States in the Union, and the encouragement
given 1t by the fact that ''Uncle Sam" IN
tends to make an exhibit of his own of the
treasures stored away in Washington City
an appropriation for the moving and care
Of which has been recommended by Con-
greSSional Committee to whom the matter
was referred.
The guarantee fund Of one million and
fifty thousand dollars, which the Board OF
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them to provide magnificent quar-
tiers in which to display the mass OF articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merous Expositions on smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili-
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing OF
the kind ever held in this country, not eL-
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel-
phia in 1876 The area of exhibiting space
will be about 700, 900 square feet The tenn
porary buildings, when ready for occu-
pancy, will have cost no less than a quarter
of million Of dollars, and are models Of
architecture, combining all the elements
necessary for the uses to which they will
be put
The Exposition has been advertised for
the past year in a mastery manner, and
there is no section of the country that has
failed to hear of the great event. Applica-
tions for exhibiting space have been re-
ceived in abundance from every cline, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt its en-
tire success, both artistically and fnan-
cially.
