56 WORLDS COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. 
All buildings for exhibits have been designed with ref- 
erence to the health and convenience of attendants and visit- 
ors, and provided with spaces for taking care of packing 
cases and extra goods, with due regard for the safety of the 
contents; but it is impossible to go into further particulars 
at this early date. 
SEWERAGE. —This work will be handled by those most ex- 
pert, to insure a perfect fulfilling of its functions. 
TRANSPORTATION. 
All public passenger railways, whether steam, cable, elec- 
tric or horse, will enter the park at the southwest corner, 
though any of them may have stations at the Midway Pilais- 
ance, or other convenient places if kept outside the grounds. 
Roads entering the enclosure will deliver passengers near 
the Administration building, and from this place an intramu- 
ral, electric, elevated road will pass out through the grounds, 
entering buildings, where deemed advisable, and having con- 
venient stations where necessary. It will connect with the 
Station at the Midway Plaisance and pass back to the Adminis- 
tration building by another route, thus forming a complete 
circuit, and making it easy to go from one place to another 
without walking. 
_ Visitors once in the Fair will come out of the Administra- 
tion station upon the great square, where all the spaces will 
be very broad, affording ample room for the gathering or dis- 
persing of large crowds. Wheeled chairs and other means 
of conveyance are to be always kept in attendance at this 
_ point. 
DEDICATORY CEREMONIES. 
As provided by Congress, the formal dedication of the Ex- 
Position grounds and buildings will occur October 12, 1892. 
The President of the United States will take part in the 
ceremonial, which will be made the occasion of appropriate 
festivities, including military parades, fireworks display, public 
meetings, processions, musical entertainments, tableaux, etc. 
The programme for the dedicatory exercises which has been 
aes Cae promises a fitting prelude to the great exposition 
self. 
OPENING OF THE EXPOSITION. 
The Exposition will open on the first day of May, 1893, 
and will close not later than the thirtieth day of October 
thereafter.
