AMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS
Plenty of Room for Visitors TO tho
Columbian Exposition.
George w. Childs Tells Through Ills Pa
per Of HE Personal Observations Ehilo
at the Dedication of tao Iar
buildings.

For the reason that reports to tho
contrary have been widely published,
it is desirable that it should be under
stood that during the continuance of
tho Columbian fair at Chicago in 1893,
there is every reason to believe that
there will be ample accommodations
provided for all persons, no matter how
great their number, who may wish to
visit the exposition.
The Philadelphia Ledger makes this
statement upon the basis of personal
observation and investigation of the
length and breadth of Chiearo's exist
ing and projected resources The num-
Der of the entirely respectable hotels
of the city is already exceedingly large.
Some of them are rs architecture
magnificent and as sumptnously pro-
vided with all the appliances and f1t-
tings of luxurious living as the most ex-
acting could demand. Tho charges of
all the hotels of this class are high, but
not exorbitantly so, or. in fact, no high
er than they are justified in being by
the luxuries and comforts provided for
guests, or than are the rule in the best
hotels of other cities.
Those which may be called the sec
ond-class hotels, in which many luz-ur-
les and all the comforts of agreeable
living may be enjoyed, are still more
numerous. Their charges are not high,
being no higher than those of similar
hotels in Philadelphia or New York.
srI or,I
class hotels IN Chicago, decent, eleanly
and fairly comfortable, the charges Of
which are 30 low as not to tnx unduly
tho holiday purse of the average salary
or wage-earner.
In addition 10 the hotels the nnme ef
respectable boarding and lodging
houses of higher. or lower class, higher
r lower prices, is legion. Further,
Shere is in Chicago class of fat

Importance or dignity to draw 60 many
far and near visitors to Chicago. Yet
with its present accommodations all the
sity's guests during the dedication sea-
son were well bestowed, and, as far as
the Ledger's observation wont, at no
more than d fair cost.
Great as the accommodations were
