So much las been said and written
about the ability OF the city OF BuEalo
to care for the crowds which viii at
tend the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that few facts and figures
viii be appreciated by the general pub
lie
In the first place. there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which viii give
accommodation 10 50. COO people; there
are 6J0 boarding and rooming houses
affording accommodation for 1880,
while 1000 owners OF houses, most or
whom never before hung out their
latchstring for n consideration. have
signified their intention OF opening
their houses for the accommodation or
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1900 homes will accommodate at least
100000 visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for go uni
formed men. There are also two COM
panies arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1900 or so.
In addition to all this, there are
large number OF buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con-
verted into hotels, the plans OF which
are not far enough along TO afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac-
commodation at the present time. IL is
safe to estimate the present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodate
10000 strangers. To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least 10000
in the surrounding towns, such as Ton
AMANDA, La Sale, Niagara Falls, Lock
port, Williamsville, Gardenville, De
pew and Lancaster. all within short
trolley ride Of the city.

use Of which no charge will be made.
1t will be necessary for visiting organ
izations to furnish their own blankets
and subsistence.
There will be no accommodation for
cooking in this camp, but the visitors
will no doubt be able to make satisfac-
tory arrangements with restaurants on
the grounds at reasonable rates.
1t is expected that organizations TAX
ing advantage of these camp privileges
will, at such time as may be agreed
upon beforehand. give military exhibi-
tons without charge in the Stadium
Bands in uniform will be admitted 10
the grounds free. Organizations using
this camp will pay one general admi>
sion per man when they enter tile

Large bodies OF troops visiting the
Exposition must be- quartered outside
