Sale of “Conce**ion.”
Speaking of the sale of concessions
ou the Centennial grounds, we take
the following from a list in the Her
ald:
For instance, one man has offered
$50,000 for the privilege** of sweeping
* out the Exhibition buildings, guaran
teeing to pay all bis help and to keep
the fifty odd acres of flooring in the
building perfectly cleaned. One can
not but admire the ingenuity and bus.
iness foresight of this man, as a little
calculation will show that by a small
charge to each exhibitor for keeping
his space clean, and by being peT*mi(t.
ed to retain money ar.d valuables
found in bis sweepings, this enterpris*
ing individual might make a very good
thing out of the concession, notwith
standing the high price. This propo
sition!-- . -i. y t b.-eii auv pled by
the committee, who Ge e some doubt
as to the propriety of allowing it.
ANOTHER.
Neither can wo help wondering at
the ingenuity and apparent, reckless
ness of the man who has paid $12,-000
for the txclu -ive privilege of hiring out
rolling, or Bath, chairs to visitors to
the exhibition at fifty cents an hour.
He has also agreed to pay S4O on
each chair over 300 whioh he employs.
It is estimated that 150 more than
this will be $6,000, making SIB,OOO
for this privilege alone.
“ice cold soda“
'Another muu, with every confidence
that we shall have a. hot summer, has
given $30,000 for’tho right to dispense
soda water during the six months of
the fnr. He will also pay twenty
cents on every gallon sold, which roy.
alty will reach, it is thought, $32,000,
so that the soda wated man will have
to pav to the Centennial fund about
$62,000.
PUBLIC COMFORT DEPARTMENT*
The sum of $20,000 has been paid
for the privilege of forming and con
trolling the Department of Public
Comfort, The company is required
to put up a building 100 feet, to cost
not less than SIO,OOO. This is to be
used for waiting • rooms for visitors
and as reading and writing rooms for
ladies and gentlemen, and no charge
will be allowed The Company will
also have offices and messengers in
many portions of the buildings and
grounds, and will be allowed to charge
moderately for the care of packages,
parcels travellers luggage, umbrellas,
canes, etc., for which they will give
checks, and to sell newspapers and
periodicals, but not exclusive of the
rights of other newsmen. There will
be messengers and a system of tele
graph to be used by the Public Com*
fort Department, which will be of
great service to visitors. For instance
a party of travelers entering tire exhi
bition at one entrance may give ord*
ers to have their luggage and tickets
ready for them at another gate at a
certain hour, or they may telegraph
to have their luggage sent to a cert
ain hour, or they may telegraph to
have their luggage sent to a. certain
point to meet them. All these re
quirements the Public Comfort De
partment will atteud to with many
other little services, such as giving
information as to localities and objects
of interest. It will be a most useful
adjunct to the great fair it properly
con ucted-
A HOTEL CONCESSION.
The Globe Hotel is a large struct*
ure erected just outside of the princi*
pal enlrruce to the grounds, for Cen
tennial accommodations. It contains
1,800 rooms, cau lodge and feed 3,000
people, and is said to be largest hotel
m the world. About one,half the
ground on which it stands belongs to
the city, and is now controlled by the
Centennial Commission. The con
cession to build thereon was obtained
for $10,500 —a comparatively small
sum.
HESTAriIANTS.
There will be six restaurants within
the Exhibition grounds, all in special
buildings to be erected by the owners
of the concession, which cost $6,000
for each establishment. These struc
tures will be of the handsomest des
ign and construstion, none of them
to cost less thanslo,ooo, and as high
as $50,000. The names of the res*
tanrents are as follows; —P. Sudrean,
of New York, French restaurant; E.
Mercer, of Atlanta, Ga, “The South,**
a palatial club house, and the head
quarters of Southern visitors; L. Goy
ard, Les Trois Freres Proveneaux,
the famous P ris'an restaurant, R. J.
Dauber, of Philadelphia, a German
restaurant on a large and complete
scale; Tobiason <fc Heilbrum, the Amer
ican Restaurant, the building to cost
$50,000. Detailed descriptions of the
plans for these restaurants would be
of interest were there space in this
letter. A Jewish restaurant will also
be conducted by Charles Cfillroan ac
coding to the Hebrew dietary laws
It will be an vel an.l interesting feat
ure.
POPCORN AND V’ lAXUrS.
A ]) ■ corn capitalist has given s7,*

ing dm digys-o i ''Tci- world at the
groat fair, and h- n :. v say, with Rob
inson Crusoe,
-Vfy right til iv* is Done to- ilispuS*.
A peanut man has offered 81,000
better to peddle his p’epian fruit, but
the committee thought, when the
weight}- question was* considered,
that all the world scrunching peanuts
at once would make too many shells,
and the application was rejected and
the applicant is dejected.
ROYALTIES.
Besides the concessions above
named, the list of w hich can be Vouch
ed for as correct, there will be an in
come from royalties. Ten cents per
gallon will be charged upon all malt
liquors brought into the grounds dur
ing the continuance of the exhibiiion
for restaurants or elsewhere. The
revenue from this, it is estimated, will
be at least $50,000.

Austin’s Liver Regulator.
QUITE A MIRACLE WROUGHT IN OUR LAND
with Austin’s liver regulator
AND BLOOD PURIFIER.
Let all read what Rev J R Lamb, of
Riverside P. 0., Cocke county, E. Tenn,
says under date of Sept. 22, 1875 He
says, "I am 63 years old; have been sore
ly afflicted for 17 years; the last 10 years,
most of the time, unable to walk without
crutches, or to stand up and preach.—
Doctors and patent medicines, at great
cost, all failed, until i tried AUSTIN’S
CELEBRATED LIVER REGULATOR,
advertised in the Hotstou Advocate, and
found it all that it claimed for it —and
more too—for two bottles has so cleans
ed and renovated my whole system, that
I am now able to walk without crutches,
and stand up and preach. The relief is
a wonder to myself, and many express
great astonishment at seeing me walk
without crutches I have great hopes of
a perfect cure. Let any doubting Thom
ases come and see me, or write to my
neighbors.” Rev. John R. Lamb.”
