In addition to the above the managers of the Exposition will erect two large hotels, in close proximity to the grounds, to accommodate
1,000	visitors each, besides over two thousand boarding-houses, that can accommodate from ten to forty persons each, at prices varying from $1.00 to $2.o0 per day. Mr. Walshe, the Chief of Information and Accommodation, office at No. 164 Gravier street, will furnish to any one who calls a list of persons that will entertain visitors, with number they can accommodate, and prices. Several other hotels are now in progress, which will undoubtedly be built, thus assuring full accommodation for all that may come.
Notk.—All the largest hotels have a large number of furnished rooms, close to the hotels, hence, the number of rooms given in above table are only those in the hotel proper.
