 CANADIAN CENTENNIAL GUIDE. 
 
 The infoi-iii.ition coiitiiiiied in the CANADfAN Centen- 
 nial Guide, is of very gi-eat iiiqtoitance to tliose wlio coii- 
 teiiiplate a visit to the Centennial Exhibition tha coniinif 
 season. The pamphlet is compiled more for the special 
 l)enetit of thr.se who wish to have an accurate knowh^dfje of 
 the expenses of the entire trij), before leavin^jf home, than for 
 the moi-e faAored to whom expense is of trifling consider- 
 ation; and yet the latter will tind in it information of much 
 valne, in the detailed descrijttion of the various routes, and 
 the opportunity atiorded of securing accommodations in 
 advance, either in New York, or Philadelphia and its 
 surroundings. 
 
 The objects sought to be attained by the (Iuide may be 
 classified under several distinct headings, as follows : — 
 
 First. — To give a detailed description of the various 
 Railroad and Steamboat Routes to Philadelphia and return, 
 and their cost, from the principal railroad centres of Canada, 
 and the American frontier. 
 
 Second. — To present the claims of each road from a 
 business standpoint, and also as affording the greatest 
 amount of pleasure on the trip.

 locality, price of board per day and week, and accoamioda- 
 tions ; together with a similar gnide to New York, for the 
 benefit of those who desire to sptuid a few days in the 
 Metropolis, either going or returning. 
 
 Fourth. — A description of the points of interest in the 
 two cities worthy of inspection, and the c}it;a]K^st and uiost 
 convenient methods of reaching them.

 AN HlSTolUCiAL RKKTCH. 
 
 It will 1><» intereHtin;^ in this connection to know some- 
 thing of the history of the ( ■entennijil project, whose fulfill- 
 ment was witnessed on the 1 0th of May last. It is utterly 
 impossible to give the name of the fii-st individual who first 
 suggested the idea of a gi'and natir)nal celebration in com- 
 memoration of the Declai'ation of In<lependenoe. It was 
 repeatedly alluded to in Foui-th of July orations, and in 
 editorials pr'.ited by leading newspapei*s throughout the 
 Union. Prominent among those who urged the matter 
 were Hon. Jolm Bigelow, of New York, Colonel M. Ricliards 
 Muckle, of Philadelphia, General Charles B. Norton, 
 Professor John L. Campbell, now Se^' etary of the United 
 ►States Centennial Commission, and otheiu Without at- 
 tempting to detract from the merits of the numerous 
 claimants who would wear the distinguished honor, yet it is 
 but simple justice to the present age, and that history may 
 be correct, to award the honor of the inception of the idea 
 to Professor Campbell, who, in 1869, addressed the Hon. 
 Morton McMichael, Mayor of Philadelphia, a letter setting 
 forth the necessity and propriety of holding a National 
 Exposition in Philadelphia during the year 1876. The 
 letter was referred to Councils, but that body refused to take 
 action on the suggestion, and the matter was permitted to 
 droD for a time. Subsequently, the Franklin Institute, of 
 Philadelphia, considered the matter in all its bearings, and 
 finally addressed a communication to Councils, asking that 
 a suitable tract in Fairmont Park should be set aside for 
 the purposes of an Exhibition. 
 
 John L. Shoemaker, Esq., had the honor of presenting 
 the communication to Council, and was thereupon made 
 
 j^i 
 
G 
 
 Cliairinan of tlif5 Centennial Comniittee of tluit l>o(ly, in 
 which position he has up to tiie present tinn; earnestly and 
 faitlii'ully hiboreil for the advancement of tlie ])i-oject. From 
 the moment that tlie [)lan assnnied a definite shape it lias 
 met with the warm eiicoura<j;ement of the people of the 
 country, and its success is due in a gre-it measure to this fact. 
 On February 24, 1870, both branches '^f Councils 
 adopted .a petition to Congress setting forth the im})ortance 
 of selecting Philadelidiia as the place for holding an Inter- 
 national Exhibition of arts and manufactures, and the pro- 
 ducts of the soil and mine, in 1876, in connection with the 
 celel)ration of the Centennial Aiuiiversary of American 
 Independence. The mattei' was laid before Congress by 
 Mayor Fox, heading a committee of Councils and a Legis- 
 lative committee, and on the 9th of the following March, 
 Hon. D. J. Morrell, chairman of the committee on Manu- 
 factures, inti'oduced in the House of Representatives a bill 
 providing for the holding of the Exhibition, which measure, 
 after amendment and considerable delay, tiiially. on January 
 11, 1871, passed the House. In 1872 the bill became a 
 law in consequence of passing the Senate and receiving the 
 President's sanction. The Centennial Commission was 
 formally organized on March 4, 1872, and the Board of 
 Finance, May 10, 1873. On the 4th of July, 1874, Mayor 
 Stokely removed the first shovel of earth from the spot on 
 which now stands Memoi'ial Hall, and the gigantic under- 
 taking w{is then fairly and formally inaugurated, the com- 
 pletion of which was so auspiciously celebrated at the open- 
 ing day. 
 
 THE EXHIBITION GROUNDS. 
 These are situated in the south-western extremity of 
 Fairmount Park, bordering oii the western shore of 
 Schuylkill River. A reservation of 23G acres exclusively 
 
for exhibition purposes, wms forinally deeded to the Com- 
 mission by the City of Phihidelpliia on July 4, 1873. 
 
 The buildings are located at a convenient distance from 
 each other, and may be seen to great advantage from 
 George's Hill, from the foot of which extends Machinery 
 Hall, and beyond are the glass and iron walls of the Main 
 Exhibition Building, — the two together forming an almost 
 unbroken line of four thousand feet in length. The offices 
 of the Commission and the Board of Finance lie a little 
 south of Machinery Hall, neai- the railroad entrance, while 
 directly noith of them, beyond the line of the two great 
 buildings, is the Judge's Hall for the use of the International 
 Jury. The granite walls, with theii' iron dome surmounted 
 by a colossal iiguie of Columbia, of the Memorial Hall, in- 
 tended to be a National Art Callery, are to be seen south- 
 ward, and about midway of t^'e Main Building. Still 
 farther to the north, beyond a i., ,ine shaded by lofty trees 
 and spanned \)y a fine bridge, is the Horticultural Hall, 
 overlooking the Schuylkill, while still farther north, and 
 beyond a second ravine, is situated the building for 
 Agriculture. 
 
 The garden of the Exhibition occu])ies the space 
 between the Machinery Hall, the Horticultural, and the 
 foot of George's Hill. In the arrangement of the grounds 
 two leading features are noticeable. The first is Fountain 
 Avenue, leading from Horticultural Hall to the foot of 
 George's Hill, and crossed by a park drive, Belmont 
 Avenue. The spaces formed by this intersection are divided 
 as follows: The block bounded by Belmont Avenue, Fountain 
 Avenue, and the Hill, is devoted to tiie British and other 
 buildings for foreign commissioners, and the United States 
 Government, and those for the different States. The block 
 inclosed by Fountain Avenue and Machinery Hall has, as a 
 di itinctive feature, an artificial lake. On the north side of 
 
 m

 Fountain Avenue, beyond the Park Drive, is the structure 
 for the Women's Depai-tnient, wliile east of Belmont 
 Avenue, and south of Fountain, is tlie reservation for the 
 buildings and garden of the Japanese Commission. 
 
 The statuary which has been erected by various societies 
 includes the Colossal Fountain near the foot of George's 
 Hill, which is 105 feet in diameter, and 35 feet in exterior 
 height ; the Columbus Monument, near the junction of 
 Fountain and Belmont Avenues ; the Humboldt Monument, 
 the Hebrew statue of Religious Liberty, and the Wither- 
 spoon Monument. The fountain, which was erected by the 
 (Jatholic Total Abstinence Society, at a cost of $r 0,000, is a 
 centre from which radiate various avenues, chief of which 
 are Fountain Avenue, and the Avenue of the Keimblic, 
 which extends along the northern sides of the Machinery 
 Hall and the Main Building. In addition to the avenues 
 already mentioned, there is the Agricultural Avenue, State? 
 Avenue, Lansdowne Drive, and the drive to Belmont Man- 
 sion. Various walks leading through the gi'ounds afford the 
 visitor abundant opportunity to view their natural and 
 artificial beauties, and give easy access to all parts of the 
 inclosure. Among the principal entrances to the grounds 
 may be mentioned the following : — 
 
 1st. East end of Main Building. The chief entrance 
 for carriages. 
 
 2nd. Between the Main Building and Machinery Hall, 
 for visitors coming by the Pemisylvania Railroad and the 
 street cars. 
 
 3rd. Entrance from George's Hill. 
 
 4th. Entrance at the junction of Belmont Avenue and 
 the Park Drive. 
 
 6th. Entiance for visitors by the Reading Railroad, at 
 their depot.

 THE MAIN BUILDING. 
 
 The Main Exhibition Building, the exponent perhaps of 
 all the buildings within the Centemiial enclosure, is a stu- 
 pendeus work. Its great proportions make it a slight sub- 
 lime, and belittles its sister edifice, which when considered

 tM)verH an ait*ij. of 21.47 acres, and consistH of a parall<'l<»-

 Tlie effort to obtain architectural effect ha^ not been 
 obtruded into the construction of the building, thedesign hav- 
 ing iK^n to obtain the best building possible for the particular 
 purposes for which it was erected. Nevertheless the gene- 
 ral appearance of the exterior is grand and innxjsing, and 
 the interior has been richly decorated The sti'uctvn-e is 
 lighted almost entirely from the side, and the gi-eatest pos- 
 sible amount of light has been secured by constnicting the 
 sides of glass, and of as small columns as safety in construc- 
 tion would permit. This plan has resulted in the uniform 
 distribution of light throughout the building, so that there

 is no I'hoice of location ho frtr as lij[,'lit is concornod. Tliis 
 is an admiral))^ feature in an exliibition ImiMiii*^', and one 
 wliicli lias never before been so fully and KuotHssfully intnn 
 <lue»' 1. The nmteiials chietly used in the construetion ai'e 
 jujlass and iron. Water, <^as and drainage have- been abun 
 dantly supplied. Structures in the side aisles alonj.; the 
 sides of the l>uihling have been constructed for olUces for 
 forei«;n connnissioners in close proximity to the pioducts ex- 
 ijil»it<>(l. Ollices for the oMi'/ei's of the < ■onteiiniaj (.^onmiis- 
 sion eiuployed in administration have been placed at the end 
 of the buildin<(, and in the galleries on the sides. The divi- 
 sion of the building into long avenues affords an equally fai)' 
 <)p{)ortinity to exhibitors to display their gooils to advan- 
 tage. 
 
 The arrangement of the countries in secti ms includes 
 one prominent feature which is peculiar to this Exhibition, 
 and which is thoroughly international in concej)tion. The 
 immense area of tw^uty-one acres covered by the building is 
 in the form of a parallelogiam, divided hj an a\'enne 30 
 feet wide running east and west through the centre, and 
 another avenue 30 feet wide running north and south 
 througli the centre. This divides the floor s})ace into four 
 central towers into each of the four grand sections. In or- 
 der to embody the international feature with most effect the 
 leading nation of the four principal races of the world is 
 brought to the front of one of these four sections, thus : 
 France has the northeastern tower and adjacent S2)ace as 
 the representative of the Latin race; England has the north- 
 western tower and adjacent space as the reprepentative of 
 the Anglo-Saxon race ; Germany has the southwestern tower 
 and adjacent space as the representative of the Teutonic 
 races ; and the United States of America has the south- 
 eastern tower and adjacent space as the representative of the 
 combined Western races. These four gi-eat nations thus

 MACHINERY HALL. 
 
 sThls structure is located about 550 feet west of tlie main 
 Exhibition building ; and as its north front stands upon the 
 same line, it is jiractically a continuation of that edifice, the 
 two together [>i-esenting a frontage of 3824 feet from their 
 eastern to their western mds ui)on the principal avenue 
 within the grounds. " This building consists of a main hall, 
 1402 feet long and 360 feet wide, with an annex on the 
 soutliern side 208 feet by 210 feet. The entire area cover- 
 ed is 558,440 square feet, or nearly 13 acres, and the floor 
 space afforded is about 14 acres. The chief portion of the 
 building is one story in height, the main cornice uj)on the 
 outside being 40 feet from the ground, and the interior 
 height to the top of the ventilators in the avenues 70 feet, 
 and in the isles 40 feet. To break the long lines of the ex- 
 terior, projections have been introduced upon the four sides, 
 and the main entrances are finished with facades extending 
 to 78 feet in height. The eastern entrance will be the prin- 
 cipal approach from lailways, and from the main Exhibition

 promenades are : in the avenue IT) feet wide, in th(i aish^s 10 
 
 feet, and in the tranui^pt 25 I'i'et. The walks extending 
 
 across the building are all 10 feet wide, and lead 8t either 
 
 end to exit doors. The foundationn of this building arc 
 
 piei-s of nuwjonry, the 8uiK3r8tructure consisting of solid tim- 
 
 l>er columns supnorting roof-trusses constructed of straight 
 
 wooden principal beams and wrought-iron ties and struts. 
 
 The columns are placed in longitudinal lines, and in these 
 
 rows stand 1 feet apart. The columns are 40 feet hi'^h, and 
 
 HUppoi-t resnectively the 90 feet roof-spans over the avenues 
 
 at ii iHiight of 40 feet, and the 60 feet roof-spans over the 
 
 aisles at the height of 20 feet. The outer wjills are built of 
 
 masonry to a height of 5 feet, and above that are composed 
 
 of glazed sash between the columns. Portions of thase 
 
 sashes are movable for ventilation, and Louvre ventilators 
 
 are introduced in continuous lengths over both the avenues 
 
 and the aisles. The building is entirely lighted by side-light 
 
 from the north and south. 
 
 Double lines of shafting are introduced into each 
 
 avenue and aisle at a height about 20 feet. A Corliss steam- 
 engine of 1400 horse-power drives the main shafting. There 
 are also counter-lines of shafting in the aisles, and special 
 steam-power furnished where necessary. Steam-power is 
 furnished free to exliibitors. In the annex for hydraulic 
 machine there is a tank 60 feet by 160 feet, with 10 feet 
 depth of water. It is intended to exhibit all sorts of hydrau- 
 lic machinery in full operation ; and at the southern end of 
 the tank there is a waterfall 35 feet high by 40 feet wide, 
 supplied from the tank by the pumps on exhibition.

 THE ART GALLERY. 
 
 Three hundred feet north of the Main Buikllng, on art 
 elevated teiTace, stands the Memorial Hall. The style of 
 the building is the modern Renaissance. The materials 
 used in its construction are granit, iron, and glass. It is 
 thoroughly fire-proof, and will furnish a safe dej)ository for 
 the many works of art therein to be exhibited. 
 
 Its length is 365 feet, width 200 feet, and its height 59 
 feet. 
 
 From the central portion of the structure rises a dome 
 of iron and glass to the height of 150 feet. Its bell shaped 
 summit is surmounted by a colossal zinc statue of Columbia, 
 23 J feet high, weighing three tons. At each of the four 
 corners of the base of the dome are gi'oiips representing 
 Mining, Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufactures, (^ver 
 the main entrance are two groups, representing Science and 
 Art. Three distinctive features are displayed in the front 
 of the building, namely : three large door-ways in the centre^ 
 a pavilion at each end, and arcades, similar in appearance to 
 those in the old Roman villas, which connect the pavilions 
 with the centre. The promenades thus formed look outward 
 over the grounds and inward over open gardens ornamented 
 with flowers, etc. The upper line of hese arcades forms a 
 second promenade thirty-five feet above the ground. The 
 walls of the east and west sides of the buildini? are relieved 
 by five niches for the reception of statues. 
 
 On the north front of the building arched windows 
 take the place of the arcades. Between the pavilions, at an 
 elevation of forty feet from the ground, extends a gi-and bal- 
 cony 275 feet long and 45 feet width, from which a fine 
 view is had of the park that stretches away to the north- 
 ward. 
 
 The main door-ways give entrance to a reception hall 
 appropriately frescoed and decorated. It? dimensions are 
 
u 
 
 82 feet by 60, and the hei;^4it to tlie ceiling 53 feet. From 
 tliin hall, door-ways open directly into the central hall which 
 is 83 feet scjuare. "JUie height of the ceiling of the dome 
 which rises over it, is 80 feet. On either side of the central 
 hall are galleries that form, with it, a grand hall nearly 
 twice the size of any in the coiintiy, and large enough to con- 
 tain 8,000 persons. 
 
 Beyond the side galleries are end galleries connecting 
 with the pavilions at the corners of the building. The cen- 
 ti-al hall and these galleries are lighted from above. 
 
 There are thirteen rooms on the north front of the build- 
 ing. Like til e pavilions, thpy are lighted from the side. The 
 pavilions and central hall are intended specially for the dis- 
 play of sculpture, and afford 11,921 square feet of 
 floor surfa/ce. The various rooms and galleries for 
 the exhibition of pictures present a total wall space of 71,- 
 992 square feet, and their capacity has been largely increas- 
 ed by the erection of temporary partitions in the galleries 
 opening out of the centre hall. 
 
 The Art Gallery was erected by the State of Pennsyl- 
 vania at a cost of $1,500,000. It is to remain after the close 
 of the Exhibition, and serve the purpose of a National 
 Memoi'ial Hall, for the free exhibition of art treasures from 
 all parts of the Union. 
 
 The contributions having been in excess of the space 
 provided by Memorial Hail, an annex has been erected for 
 the exhibition of paintings, which will be found directly 
 north of the Art Gallery. The visitor will find an exit from 
 the latter at the rear side, directly opposite the annex. 
 Another annex will also be found between the main building 
 and the gallery, at the right hand, or to the eastward, devot- 
 ed exclusively to the display of photographic productions.

 mount Park. This Htnicture is located on a termce border* 
 Ing the Schuylkill River, a Rhort distance north of Memorial 
 Hall, and has a coiumaudii»<;f view of the Schuylkill River 
 valley and the north-western portions of Philadelphia. Ro 
 n»antic ravines running down to the river are on either side, 
 jseparatiug it on the south from Memorial Hall and on the 
 iioi'th from Agricultuml Building. These ravines are span- 
 ned by ornamental bridges 500 feet long and 60 feet wide, 
 for convenience of a'.cess. Carriage-roads, a railway and 
 foot-walks pass over them. The Horticultural Building is 
 (lesigned in the Moresque style of architecture of the twelfth 
 century, the chief materials externally being iron and glass. 
 sup})oited by fine marl)le and brickwork. The building is 
 .'583 feet long, 193 feet wide and 72 feet high to the top of 
 the lantern. The main floor is occupied by the centi-al con- 
 servatory, 230 feet by 80 feet, aud 55 feet high, surmounted 
 by a lantern 170 feet long, 20 feet wide and 14 feet high. 
 Running entirely aroimd this conservatory, at a height of 20 
 feet from the floor, is a gallery 5 feet wide. On the noi*th 
 and south sides of this principal room are four forcing-houses 
 for the propagation of young i)lants, each of them 100 feet 
 by 30 feet, and covered by curved roofs of iron and glass, 
 which, appearing upon the exterior of the building, present 
 a very fine feature. A vestibule 30 feet squai-e separates 
 the two forcing-houses on each aide, and there are similar 
 vestibules at the centre of the east and west ends, on either 
 side of which are apartments for restaurants, reception- 
 rooms, ofiices, etc. Ornamental stairways lead from these 
 vestibules to the internal galleries of the conservatory, as 
 well as to four external galleries, each 100 feet long and 10 
 feet wide, which surmount the roofs of the forcing-houses. 
 These external galleries are connected with a gi-and promen- 
 ade, foi*med by the roofs of the rooms on the lower floor^ 
 giving a superficial area of about 17,000 square feet. The

 which will be devoted to liorticultural jnirposes, and are pre- 
 pared for planting. In this plot there is an extensive seiies 
 of sunken gardens. • , 
 
 THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING, . 
 
 This building, in which will be displayed all the pro_ 
 ducts of the soil, both in the crude and manufactured con- 
 dition, together with agricultural implements and macliinery, 
 is located east of Belmont Avenue, and to the north of Hoi*" 
 ticultural Hall. The structure, which is built of wood and 
 glass, presents some novel features in its general plan and 
 ariangement. Tlie nave of the building, which is 800 feet in 
 length, is intei-sected by a central and two side transepts, 540 
 feet long. These sections, iii wliich the truss system is intro- 
 duced, have the form of a Gotliic arch springing from the 
 ground, to an jiltitude of 75 feet, the intervening spaces 
 between them l>eing inclosed and covered by ornamental 
 roofs. The entire area within the building, for exhibition 
 purposes, is nine and one half acres. Tlie j)eculiar form of th(i

 THE UNITED STATES EXHIBITS BUILDING. 
 
 The Exhibits of the General Government will be pre- 
 sented in a building situated on Belmont Avenue, north of 
 Fountain Avenue. Its cost was about $60,000. It has a 
 floor area of 82,640 square feet, a length of central nave and 
 aisles of 400 feet, by 100 feet in width, and a transept 300 
 feet long by 100 feet wide. The building is constructed en- 
 tirely of wood. About $500,000 has been appropriated by 
 the government for its exhibition purposes, and the various 
 Departments and the Smithsonian Institution will be fully 
 represented. 
 
 The purpose of this exhibition is to "illustrate the fimc- 
 tions and administrative faculties of the government in time 
 
1 
 
 of peace, and its resources as a new power, and thereby serve 
 to demonstnite tlie naturcj of our institutions and their adap. 
 tation to the wants of the people." To give effect to the 
 purpose of the government, a Board lias been created of seven 
 members, one each from the War, Treasury, Nav^y, Interior, 
 Post Office, and Agricultural Depart monts, and the K^mith 
 sonian Institution to which is intrusted the care of the 
 entire Exhibit. • 
 
 AIUIIVING AT PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 Canadian visitors to the Centennial will mostly arrive 
 
 at Philadelphia by either the Pennsylvania, or the Phila- 
 delphia and Heading Railways. By perusing the different 
 routes presented in this volume, it will be seen that each 
 line touching the Canadian border, connects with each of 
 these lines of Railways, which cross each other at German- 
 town Junction, a few miles out of the city. Passengers 
 taking the Pennsylvania Road at any point between Jersey 
 City and Philadelphia can land directly at the Centennial 
 buildings and ojjposite the entrance to the grounds between 
 the Main building and Machinery Hall, or can go down 
 town to the Depot proper between 32nd and 33rd streets as 
 heretof(5i"e described. 
 
 Those connecting with the Philadelphia and Reading 
 Road at Allentown or Bethlehem, can get off at a depot 
 near the eastern end of the Main building or go into the city 
 to the Depot at the corner of Callowhill and Broad or L3th 
 streets, sixteen blocks farther down town than if the arrival 
 had been on the Pennsylvania Road. But in no case would 
 we recommend visitors, who have travelled such a distance as 
 Canadians must, to stop off at the grounds, unless boarding 
 accommodations are previously secured in that quarter. It 
 is much more satisfactory to go direct to the hotel or board- 
 ing house, and after resting and securing such information as 
 cannot be obtained in a work so limited as the Guide, take 
 the street cars to the grounds.

 THE CITY OF PllTLADKLPTTIA. 
 
 Philiuhilpliia is oiio of the host luid out citioa on the 
 continent, and after a Htran<((U' once nnrhu-stands tlie method 
 of namini]^ and nunduiring its streets, it is an easy mattffl' to 
 find any h.)c;ality which it may be desirable to visit. In order 
 to be found au j'aU to the task at all times, it is (juite neces- 
 Hary that the points of the compass should be perfectly un- 
 derstood tlie first time tlic stranger arrives there, as it is 
 ever afterwards a difficult matter to locate })oints of interest, 
 when the visitor gets '* turned around," to use the common 
 phraseology, or when one gets iioi-th, south, east and west, 
 somewhat mixed. To prevent such occurences, and give a 
 detailed description, we may be pardoned for addressing the 
 reader in the first person : — 
 
 Supposing you arrive at the city depot of the Pensyl" 
 vania Hail way. On passing from the depot you observe a 
 street running to the right and left, [)arrellel with the front of 
 the building. This, is Market Street, the dividing line of 
 the city. If you take one of the Market street cars going to j 
 
 the right you will go direct west, and will find the terminus 
 in the country. If you choose the same line of cars going in 
 the opposite direction, you will go eastward, and remaining 
 in it until you reach the eastern terminus, you will be landed 
 at the bank of the Delaware River, the eastern boundary of 
 the city, across which can be seen the city of Camden in 
 New Jersey. Learning this, it is an easy matter to recollect 
 that Market street and all other parellel streets run east and 
 west, tlio city proper being eastward. 
 
 The city being divided by Market street, all that portion 
 to the right as you go eastward, is south, or as it is called, 
 " below," and that to the left, north, or " above." 
 
 Facing the east, the first street to the right parellel with 
 Market, is Chestnut, the Broadway of Philadelphia, then 
 comeg Walnut, followed by Locust, Spi'uce, Pine, Lombard, 
 
 I 
 
fl 
 
 28 
 
 South, Tlaiiibritrge, etc., etc. T\w first to tlio left is AicIj, 
 the next Haeo, followed by Vino, Oallowhill, Spring (lardon» 
 Green, Wallace, etc., etc. 
 
 The cro.ss streets run parellel, and being at right angles 
 to Market, of course run north and south, those to the right 
 going south, and those to the loft leading noi-thwai-ds. Those 
 are not named, but numbered, commencing at the Delaware 
 River with ^r8t, and ending with sixtieth, 30 blocks west of 
 the depot, which i^ between 32nd and 33rd. 
 
 We will now suppose you have rooms engaged at the 
 Merchants Hotel on " 4tli street, below Market." You 
 select a Market street car, going " down." Four or five rods 
 below, you pass 32nd st., over which you would pass if you 
 took the Chestnut street cars in front of the depot, and after 
 passing 31st and 30th, you reach a bridge over the Schuyl- 
 kill, (* School-Kill') the stream which seperates West Phila. 
 delphia, from the eastern or principal business portion. On 
 arriving at 4th st., you leave tlie car and go south until you 
 reach the hotel. You may understand that it is between 
 Market and Chestnut, for, if it had been beyond the latter, 
 your hotel card would have read, " below Chestnut," instead 
 of "below Market." 
 
 Another point peculiar to Philadelphia streets, is in the 
 numbering. Every block contains exactly 100 numbers, the 
 odd numbers appearing on one side of a street and the even 
 figures on the other. The numbering on the north and 
 south, or cross streets commence at Market, on either side. 
 
 To show how easily one can find any location when the 
 numbering is once understood, we will give one or two selec- 
 tions, knowing from personal experience the value of such 
 knowledge when once attained. 637 north 15th st., is the 
 point you wish to reach, from the corner of Mai-ket and 4th 
 sts. That would be 11 streets west and 6 blocks north. 
 You take a car for 15th street, get out there and take g< 15th 
 
29 
 
 Htreet car, on the north .siilw of Market. On looking ut the 
 nuiuberH on tlio right liand yon find No. 7, which indicates 
 tluit the nnnibor yon ai-o in st^arch of, is on tlio opposite .side, as 
 it is an even nnniber. Again, Hiipposing yon are h)cato<l al 
 the corner of Wahiut and 23rd street, and wish to goto 21:5 
 north 10th .<t. As Wnhnit is sonth of Mai-ket, the Utter 
 nnist be crossed to tlie nortli side. 21.*» nortli 10th streei 
 will then be easily fonnd by proceeding to 10th st., and going 
 above, two blocks and thirteen doors on the side of the odd 
 numbers. 
 
 3254 Chestnut could be found between 32n<l and 33rd 
 streets, on Chestnut, there being also 100 nund)ers between 
 each cross street from the first to the sixteeth, or last sti<^et. 
 
 Taking Market Street as a center of calculation, and 
 remembering that a block always contains but lUO numbers, 
 it will be found an easy matter to locate most any place in 
 the city. 
 
 STREET RAILWAYS. 
 
 No city in the United States possesses as great a num- 
 ber of street rail ways which charge as reasonable latea, as Phil- 
 adelphia. The cars are much superior in neatness and 
 comfort to those of New York. The fare on any line is 7 
 cents for each trij), but the passenger can, and should pur- 
 chase of the conductor, 25 or 50 cents worth of tickets, which 
 are good on any road in the city. Four tickets will be given 
 for 25 cents. If the passenger is on or near the line on 
 which he is travelling, a single fare issulHcient, but if he has 
 to go some distance on a cross street he hands the conductoi- 
 9 cents and asks for an exchange. This exchange or extra 
 ticket will carry you over the connecting lines, and saves five 
 cents to the one who understands the "dodge" which is not 
 usually made known to strangers. "The Union Line" runs

 Anotlu^r point in connection with th(5 street mil ways 
 which visitors should bear in niind, is the difll'rence in run- 
 ning the cars, to what is exhibited in other cities* With 
 the exception of Market, nearly all the princij>al Stro(;tH of 
 the city arc; narrow, and do not admit of two tracks or of 
 running the cars in but one direction. Tn I\Tarke« street 
 there are two tracks, but in the pai alhd streets only one is 
 allowed. In Chestnut street, the cars all move eastward ; 
 in Walnut they run westward ; in Jjocust eastward and so 
 on tlnoughout the city.

 HOW TO REACH THE GROUNDS. 
 
 The Exhibition Grounds can be I'ejiched in three ways . 
 by street railway, railroad, or by steamer. Nearly all the 
 street cars running east and AV(;st, either run direct to the 
 Grounds or connect with those that do, so that it is 
 an easy matter, to find a car going in that direction. — 
 Owing to the usually crowded condition of street cars a* 
 present, especially after they pass 8th or 9th streets, it ig 
 much preferable to go to the depot of the Philadelphia and 
 Reading Road at Callowhill street, and take the passenger 
 cars of that most excellent I'oad. The fare is only ten cents 
 and a payment of 15 cents on the 13tli or 15th street cars 
 will procure a ticket over both roads, to the depot near the 
 grounds. Tlie Reading Road passes through a portion of 
 Fairmount Park, and affords a faint glimpse of the beauties 
 afforded by that charming i-etreat, the largest Paik on the 
 . continent of America. Passengers going to the Exhibition 
 grounds by this railroad, which is considered the quickest 
 
31 
 
 Toiito, will ontor tho jOfroimdH at tlio east end of tlio Main 
 ImiMin.L,', or tlio turn-stilos ivljoinin^ on tlionortli side. 
 
 If tho visifor is located Konio distanoo ubovo ir>tij 
 Rtie(^t, it woidd l»o advisiihlo to tako a car direct to tho 
 jj^rouiids. if tlie tri]» is made hy a Wahiut, Chestmit or 
 Market stnuit car, the approarh to llie ExaihiviOii will be hy 
 liaiieaslor Avenue, from tli') Pennsylvai'Ia Kailroad depot to 
 44th street, and fioiu llienee hv Ut)ln»ont Avenue. Those 
 jjoins^ ])y the nortli sid»5 routes, generally approach the 
 ^(rounds hy Khu Avenue, parallc;! with the line of tlie Main 
 an<l JNIachinery hnildln«;s. Visitois will iind more trouble in 
 ^ettini^ a seat in retinnin;^ to tho city at niiL^ht, than on 
 It'avinf^ it eai'lier in the day. To prijvent this annoyance as 
 much us possible, we would advise those returnin^i^ to the 
 city by Eelmont Avenue, to walk down tliat street on the 
 left hand side, as far as the depot of that line (about twenty 
 or thirty rods,) and take a scat in a car tliat will soon 
 start for tho triangular s]>ace in fiont of the Exhibition 
 buildings, and return to the city as soon as loaded. This 
 plan is adopted by citizens and will insuie a good seat with- 
 out extra expense, something very ucoejilable after an all 
 day tramp inside the grounds. 
 
 Another method of iciaching the grounds, is by street 
 Kailway to the landing of the lairmount steamei-s on tho 
 Schuylkill, which can be reache<l by cars running westward 
 on the north side of Maiket or by any of the cross streets 
 below 24 til. The landing is at the lower end of Fy rmount 
 Park on the east side, about six blocks above the Markc^t 
 street Bridge. This way of going to or coming fiom the 
 grounds, will piove the most pleasant of the three, and 
 should not be neglectad. Taking the steamer at the lan«ling 
 opposite Green street, you pass Lemon Hill on the right, on 
 which stands the Mansion of Robt. Morris of revolutionary 
 fame, and to the front of it on the river margin, are the 
 
 ■ ■■ 
 
''II 
 
 )l 
 
 lu 
 
 elegant boat houses of the Schuylkill Navy. On the left 
 side will be noticed the Zoological Gardens occupying 3.'i 
 acres. As you ascend tlie river you find a number of invit- 
 ing summer houses for the use of pedcstrains, and a little 
 north, ''Grants Cottage" a small cabin which was used by 
 General Grant as his headquarters at City Point, Virginia, 
 during the last year of the war. Nearer the bridge is the 
 Guard House for lost children, a building that is frequently 
 in use during the summer months. Passing on up the river, 
 the eye is delighted with the natural beauty witnessed on 
 both sides of a very dirty stream until the Centennial land- 
 ing is reached on the left, from which you ascend through a 
 romantic ravine to the eastern end of the Main building. 
 
 INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE. 
 
 The favorite entrance to the Exhibition grounds is on 
 Elm Avenue opposite Belmont Avenue, between the Main 
 building and Miichinery Hall. Before attempting to enter 
 the grounds, furnish yourself with a fifty cent sciip. If you 
 have none, stej) into the Centennial Bank at the right hand 
 and get a bill changed. Passing through the turn stile you 
 are confronted with a large square between the two build- 
 ings mentioned, in the centre of which is the Bartholdi 
 Fountain, made by Major Auguste Bartholdi of Paris, and 
 presented to the Commissioners of Fairmount Park. After 
 making an inspection of this justly celebrated work of art, 
 we would advise a trip around the grounds on the miniature 
 railway, before entering any of the buildings, for two reasons. 
 First, the visitor is somewhat fatigued before reach- 
 ing the Exhibition, and second, a tour of the grounds 
 gives one a better understanding of the various localities to 
 be visited, which will afterwards be of much value, besides 
 affording a temporary respite from the sometimes arduous 
 task of riding four or five miles in a crowded street car 
 
33 
 
 Turnin<^ to the right, and crossing the square, diagonally, to 
 the corner of the main bni Ming, you strike the Ave3n\ie of the 
 Kepublic, running parallel with the l^uildings, and take a car 
 at the lirst station, a building about the size of a soda 
 fountain but not so large as some of those which will be seen 
 bt+'ore leaving the main structure. Passing the junction of 
 Belmont Avenue, the lirst building of a foreign style is the 
 office of Cook Sz, Hons, the great English Railway Ticket 
 Agents for toMrists' routes. Immediately beyond is a 
 miniature lake, from the surface of which rises several 
 hundred stieains, in a circle, making an apjjearance wonder- 
 fully attractive. Arriving at the western end of Machinery 
 Hall, the course is obstructed by a fountain erected by the 
 Catholic Total Abstinence Society at an expense of $30,000. 
 The track here turns to the left, crossing a plateau behind 
 the Hall, and makes a circle around to the west side of the 
 fountain, passing by several buildings for the display of 
 special articles of manufacture, the largest of which is a saw 
 mill. Opposite the fountain, at the l(3ft, is the Missouri 
 State building ; next, a little farther back, Arkansas, after 
 which comes the buildings of the English Government, the 
 moot extensive on the grounds, and easily recognized by the 
 quaintncss of the architect are and leaden window sash. 
 Beyond the English, on the same side, is the New York 
 State building, followed in rotation by that of Massa- 
 chusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Mi ^higan, Wisconsin, 
 (where can be seen the famous eagle, " Old Abe," which ac- 
 companied a Wisconsin regiment through the whole war) 
 Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Opposite these state buildings 
 are those of the Government of the United States. 
 
 After crossing Belmont Avenue, the ti-ack passes 
 around tlie green-roofed Agricultural Hall, behind which, on 
 the right, wdll be seen the Annex, Wagon, B)-ewers', and 
 Pomological Buildings. After passing the latter, on the left 
 
 a 
 
84 
 
 r 
 
 will be seen the Model Butter and Cheese Factory, followed 
 by the Tea and Coffee Exhibition Building. The train now 
 passes between the Agi icultural Hall and Lauber's American 
 restaurant, the proprietor of which pays ,f80,000 for the 
 privilege of feeding the hungiy, and quenching the thirsty 
 
 with lager beer at five cents a glass. 
 
 Retm'ning to Belmont 
 
 Avenne again, on the left hand corner another restaurant 
 will be found, called "The South." From this point the 
 track follows Belmont Avenue until it reaches the station at 
 the starting point, and passes successively the Kansas State 
 building, Womens School House, Womans Pavillion, 
 Egyptian Mosque and numerous others. A L linking 
 Pavillion will be passed at Fountain Avenue and Belmont 
 and by looking up the former street to tl^ left will be seen 
 the beautiful Horticultaral Hall.

 CENTENNIAL ROUTES. 
 
 In this Department of the Guide, will be found a list of 
 the various Routes from the Canadian Frontier, to Philadel- 
 phia and return, and the latest schedule of rates. It will 
 be noticed that some of them afford an opportunity of visit- 
 ing various Summer Resorts, either going or returning, at 
 excursion rates. None of them afford more pleasant or 
 varied routes than the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg 
 and the Utica and Black River Railways, both of which are 
 accessible from Ottawa, Prescott, Perth, Smith Falls, Corn- 
 wall, Brockville, Gananoque, Kingston, Napanee and Belle- 
 ville.

 ' Arriving at the 4Jiul Street depot, take a 4th Avenue 
 car, which will be found in the depot, and go to Grand or 
 Courtland street, and thence to Pennsylvania ferry. Fare 
 6 cents on each road. If you wish to use the coupon, take 
 a Transfer coach at the depot, which 'vill also land you at 
 the feiry. 
 
 Arriving at Jersey City, follow the crowd straight ahead 
 to the reception room ; get your tickets out, iH'esent them 
 to the gate-keeper at the farther end, for inspection, pass 
 through and take the left hand tiain. If the Central Road 
 is on time, and it has an envied reputation for that feature 
 of its managemant, you will reach Jersey City in time to 
 take the 8:35 a. m. train (providing you leave Ogdensburg 
 at 2:45 p. m., or Cape Vincent at 4:40 p. m.,) and arrive at 
 Philadelphia at 12:05 noon. But if you wish to loiter at 
 New York or Jersey City until 9:25 a. m., you can have 
 the choice of two trains leaving at the same time, one of 
 which will land you at Philadelphia at 12:45 noon, and the 
 other at 12:10, only five minutes later than the one leaving 
 at 8:35. This fast train is called the " Limited," and is a 
 special favorite with the travelling public, from the fact of 
 its being composed wholly of Pullman Drawing Room cars, 
 making t)ie trip of 90 miles in two hours and thirty-five 
 minutes, with only two stops, at Newark and Trenton. If 
 you wish to enjoy the creme de la creme of lailroad arrange- 
 ments, by all means avail yourself of an opportunity of a 
 trip by it, either going or coming. The extra fare is only 
 $1, each passenger. The railroad fare from Ogdensburg to 
 Philadolphia and return by the same route, or by the "Day" 
 or "Peoj)les' " line of steamers, from New York to Albany, 
 at the option of the purchaser, $20.55. From Cape Vincent, 
 $18.45. Tiains leaving Ogdensburg at 7:30 a. m., or Cape 
 Vincent at 8 a. m., reach New York at 10 p. m., Philadel- 
 phia at 4:30 a. m. next day. Passengers leaving at this hour 
 must lie over at Jersey City until 12 o'clock midnight, but 
 if they choose, can take a sleeping car at that station as 
 soon as they arrive there. This car arrives at Philadelphia 
 at 4:30 next morning, but the passengers have the privilege 
 of remaining in their bei*ths until 8 o'clock if they choose, 
 a feature that is of much service to traveller arriving at

 passes over the most interesting portion of Pennsylvania. 
 The return route passes through Lancaster, Pa., Eltnira. 
 Watkins, Rochester, Syracuse and Rome, N. Y., and affords 
 an opportunity of visiting the greatest summer resort of the 
 world, Niagara Falls. 
 
 Arriving at Niagara Falls, omnibusses will be found at 
 the depot, of the Spencer, Cataract, International, Park 
 Place, Niagara, and Falls Hotel, on the American side, and 
 Clifton House, and Prospect House on the Canadian side. 
 With the exception of those on the Canada side, it is a very 
 short walk to any of the Houses mentioned. 
 
 The fare at the hotels are as follows : Spencer, $3.50 ; 
 Park Place, $3 ; International, $4.50; Cataract, $4.50 ; 
 Falls, $2.50; and Niagara, $2.50 per day. The Falls Hotel, 
 Spencer House, and Niagara House, run free omnibuses. 
 The Clifton House and Prospect House rates are, respect- 
 ively, $3 and $2.50 per day in gold. The Clifton House is 
 at the end of the new Suspension Bridge, and the Falls 
 Hotel, near the Canadian Falls. Both are well kept, and 
 afford a full view^ of the whole Falls from the veranda. it 
 
 Hack hire is $2 an hour, or so much for the whole trip. 
 In engaging one, have it understood what points should be 
 visited before starting. If the tourist has a day to spare, it 
 is much cheaper and pleasanter to go on foot. By this 
 method the whole expense for one person will be only $1.25. 
 
 In visiting Goat Island, take the forenoon. On reach- 
 ing the Island, the overseer's house will be seen in front, at 
 which point a path turns to the right, one to the left, and 
 one goes straight ahead. Although the progi*amme handed 
 you at the toll gate advises turning to the right, yet we 
 think it advisable to follow the straight path past the 
 overseer's house, and take the first branch to the left, which 
 leads to the Sister Islands. After viewing these, go around 
 the island to the right, to the starting point. Yisit the 
 
40 
 
 (/aiuula side in the afternoon, for the best rainbow effect, 
 
 going across the river by the bridge, and returning by the 
 
 Perry, into Prospect Park.

 NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILWAY. 
 Of all the great railway lines in America, there is none 
 that affords as much general satisfaction to the travelling 
 public as this road, on account of its railroad facilities, and 
 the excellent time made, under all circumstances. It costs 
 a trifle more to go to Philadelphia by this route than by 
 cutting " acrcis lots," but the extra expense is well repaid 
 by the absence of numerous changes and delays experienced

 on other roads, and a view of the scenic grandeur aiSbrded 
 by its proximity to the Hudson. Passengers going over 
 other roads connecting with the Central, should manage to 
 make the trip up or down the Hudson by daylight, securing 
 a seat on the right side of the car going down, and the left 
 coming up the river. 
 
 Those taking. the Atlantic Express, which leaves Niagara 
 Falls at 1:45 p.m., Buffalo, 1:50 p.m., Rochester, 5:10 p.m., 
 Rome, 9:30 p.m., and Utica at 10 p.m., should take the 
 lower berth in a sleeping car, if they are at all fond of 
 scenery. Awakening at Poughkeepsie about daylight, the 
 tourist can push his curtain one side, and feast his eyes with 
 a panorama of nature for one and a half hours, which will 
 ever afterwards remain a bright spot in his memory. We 
 mention this as a special feature of a fast train that makes 
 connections with railways running from our frontier, affords 
 a good nights rest, and lands one in New York at a reason- 
 able hour in the morning. ' 
 
 Tlie passenger unacquainted with sleeping cars will bear 
 in mind that in the hot season the upper berth is the cooler* 
 and also that the choice of berths will sometimes be refused » 
 for one reason or another, but by informing the conductor 
 that your wishes in the matter must be complied with, oi- 
 you will leave the car, you will generally be accommodated.

 on account of the location. The Watkins Glen House is in 
 connection with the Glen, but the tourist will find it much 
 
more pleasant at the other hotel on account of its proximity

 NEW JERSEY SOUTHERN. 
 
 A pleasant and profitable trip from Philadelphia to 
 New York, is on the New Jersey Southern Railway, running 
 from Camden opposite the foot of Market Street. The route 
 passes through Long Branch along the Atlantic Coast tp 
 Sandy Hook, from which point steamers run up the Sound 
 to Pier No. 8, New York. Besides afibrding an opportunity 
 to visit Long Branch and enjoy a walk or a ride on the 
 famous Beach, it presents many points of interest from Sandy 
 Hook up the Sound, such as Forts, Lafayette, Hamilton, 
 Wadsworth and Richmond, besides passing Quarantine, the 
 residence of Judge Brunt, (where Douglas, one of the ab- 
 ductors of Charles Ross, was killed,) Coney Island, anc^ 
 Rockaway Beach. On arriving at New York, walk up to 
 Pier No. 1 6, and take a car crossing Broadway and every 
 Avenue in the city. 
 
nOARDING II()rSF>S AND HOTELS. 
 
 Under this huading will bo found ii lint of rospcictable 
 JK)arding liouses, and their rates j)er day or week. Centen- 
 nial visitors will find it niiich more pleasant to en<|;age rooms 
 in advance by mail, which can be done by addressing the 
 proprietors. Instructions are added to each card, showing 
 how to reach the number by street car from the Ponsylvania 
 Railway depot. 
 
 MERCHANT'S HOTEL. 
 
 « 
 
 This popular hotel having accommodations for 800 
 persons, is situated on 4th street, between Market and Arch, 
 and is one of the oldest Hotels in the city, having been 
 built in the year 1840. It was for many years the head- 
 quarters of Southern Politicians, many still making it their 
 home in the city. 
 
 It is fitted up with all the latest improvements, su(!h 
 as modern bath rooms, steam elevator <fec., &c. To tluise 
 who delight in visiting historic points, this house has a 
 peculiar interest. Directly in front of it is the old Penn meet- 
 ing house with capacious grounds, which was to revert to 
 the British Government when vacated for religions })urposes. 
 A little to the right rises the spire of Christs Church, which 
 was completed in 1754, and contains the chime of hells 
 which were removed before the British entered the city, and 
 replaced at the close of the revolution. 
 
 Directly back of the Hotel rests the remains of Dr. 
 Benjamin Franklin and his wife Debora, marked only by 
 a plain slab with proper inscription. The whole vicinity of 
 the Merchant's, abounds with such points of interest, and 
 attracts many strangers to its capacious quarters. 
 
 The present proprietors are Canadians. One of them, 
 L. W. Ca^, kept the Royal at Hamilton, and is well known

 to the trav«*lliu<^ public, Mr. S. 0. Case, the Hoiiior partiior

 Tl;e tonus arc $3. 00 })er day. For the convenience of 
 vi.sitors to the Exhibition, dinner will be served from 6 till 
 10 p. m., in addition to the regular dinner from 12 to 3. 
 The dinning room being between two oj)en lots, is the coolest 
 ill that part of tlie city, and lias seating room for 300 persona. 
 
 Three lines of cars, one on Arch, the first street north, 
 one on Walnut, the first stieet sonth, and one passing by the 
 door, go direct to the Exhibition grounds. 
 
 To reach this Canadian headquarters from Pensylvania 
 Railway depot, take Market street cars to 4th stree€, an<l 
 and walk north to hotel ; from Philadelphia & Reading 
 Railway Depot on Callowhill street, take Callowhill street 
 cars going east to 4th, and 4th street cars to the door. 
 
 MARBLE TERRACE. 
 
 J 
 
 .f _ 
 
 I 
 
 Chestnut street is the 5th Avenue of Philadelphia, and 
 on its upper portion will be found the finest residencies in 
 the city, especially above 34th street. Between 32nd and 
 and 33rd streets stands a colossal building occupying the 
 whole space between the two streets on the south side. It 
 ia called Marble Terrace, from the fact that its whole front 
 ia composed of Marble, even to the uppermost story.

 FIRST CLASS BOARDING AND LODGING

 BY MR. & MRS. E. R. SIIEPARD, 
 
 (FOUMERLY of 13INGIIAMPTON, N. Y.) 
 
 Wo take [)]eaaiiro in being able to inform our many 
 friends and ac(i[uaintanceB tliat we have secured the two 
 above nieudoiied communicating', four story, large and Land- 
 8ome]y fundslied residences, admirably urrauged and locat- 
 ed, for a pleasant, cool, and quiet home during the Centen- 
 nial b^xposition. The location has few (if any) equals in the 
 city, in points of genernl conveniences; being .situated about 
 midway lietween the business centre, Independence Hall, 
 places of amuBement, and the Centennial greundn. l^]s[»ecially 
 so in its accessibility to i^ainnount Park a. id the Exhibition 
 Building, by steam and lierse cars, and boats on the Schuyl- 
 kill. Four lines of horse cars within a block, for all paits 
 of the city, and two depots for steam cars within a half mile, 
 also a line of Centennial Coaches, 25c. fares, have a stand 
 one block distant. By walking a short distance at each 
 end of the route, a delightful ride on the river takes you to 
 the grounds ; or, if preferred, it will be found a very pleas- 
 ant walk of two miles through the Park. The location 
 possesses the advantage of being in a first-class neighborhood, 
 on liigh grounds, — no mosquitoes — cool, and quiet ; no cars 
 passing the door, yet Mount Vernon street is one of the 
 popular drives or approacli to the main entrance of Fair- 
 mount Park, less than half a mile distant. Further, just 
 within and beyond the Park entrance, are the Fairmount 
 Water Works, steamboat landing, music pavillion etc. 
 Everything that personal attention, good board, attentive 
 waiters, and a two years residence in Philadelphia, can do 
 to make it pleasant for our guests, will be done. Terms, 
 with full board, $2, $2.50 and $3, per day, according to 
 room and accommodations. " A good safe in tlie oilice."
