SECOND TO NONE.
Enthusiastic Resolutions by Official
 Representatives of Several States.

Jamestown Exposition, Va, July 16.-At the meeting of the State Commissioners association of the Jamestown Exposition held at the Missouri building, July 5, the follow ing resolutions were unanimously adopted, and asked to be published by the newspapers of the country.
 Whereas, we believe that the rep resentations in some of the papers of the country in relation to the Jamestown Exposition and to the accommodations and cost of living in this vicinity are unjust to the exposition and consequently misleading to the people of this country; and it is due to the citizens | of our respective states that they should have from us such authorita- | tive information as will enable them to form a just opinion of its valueand character and to mature their plans to visit it,with such knowledge of con- ditions as we their representatives can from our investigation and ex- perience, give them; therefore Resolved, That we hereby testify to the magnitude and varied attrac- tions of this exposition. ranking as it does with the leading expositions of the Ter-CentenniaI of our nation S birth, and we commend it to our fellow-citizens as worthy of their confidence and patronage.
 Despite bad weather. labor troubles and freight congestion, a great exposition has been produced unique in it's educational and histor- ical features and rich in architect ural beauty, set in the midst of his toric surroundings, its atmosphere teeming with associations connected with every period of our country,s history.
 The great exhibit buildings are filled with industrial exhibits of most interesting character. The United States Government has assembled in its buildings exhibits unsurpassed at many respects they surpass any previous exposition while in many respects they surpass any heretofore made. The buildings erected by the various states are unquestionably the best ever built at any exposition.
 "The amusement section compares favorably with that of any previous exposition. it's shows being clean, many of them of high order and most interesting.
 Assembled in the historic waters of Hampton Roads, which wash the shores of the exposition grounds, may be seen the great specimens of naval architecture of this and other coun- tries. The sightseer has opportunity to visit the colonial, national and state Williamsburg Wash ington and Richmond-in the neigh borhood of which are the battlefelds of all our wars from Yorktown to Appomattox, and to visit points of interest made sacred by events of three hundred years.
 The adjacent cities offer ample hotel and boarding house accommo- dations at reasonable rates, rooms be- ing obtainable from fifty cents up- ward and the cost of living. restaur- ant prices, etc, are moderate, giving the prudent visitors opportunity to i've as economically as their taste and circumstances may make expedient.
 Therefore in commenting this ex- position to the people of our respec- tive states we strongly advise them they should not fail to visit it, and to come prepared to remain long enough to study its vast and varied interests and attractions.
