The Ohio Talley Centennial Exposition.

One of the most important events in the history of our country’s wonderful growth and progress is the great Centennial Exposition which opens at Cincinnati on July 4 and lasts for one hundred days, or until October 27. Although the enterprise is called “The Ohio Valley Centennial Exposition,” or the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the Northwest Territory, it is really a national exposition in every 6ense, as every State and Territory is represented and will have splendid displays of their productions and wares. The National Government has appropriated $150,000 to defray the expense of the Government exhibit alone. Enormous cases from the Smithsonian Institution and other departments at Washington have arrived full of historical and art treasures of the capital and will be on exhibition. The area available for exhibition space in ‘he several vast halls constructed espesially for the occasion is nearly 550,000 square feet, besides nearly 100,000 more square feet for reception and restaurant halls. The works of art already on the ground for exhibition are insured Tor over $1,000,000. Cincinnati has uniformly been very successful with her expositions, but this year the public spirit and enterprise of her citizens have assumed national proportions and deserve national support.
