The Atlanta Exposition costs and cheap visits
An Atlanta exposition guide reassures visitors that entry to the exposition is fifty cents for ages over twelve and twenty five cents for children under twelve with free access to the buildings. Midway shows cost extra but are separate from the exposition. Water is available free at several points, and meals range from ten cents for a hot roast beef sandwich to twenty five cents for a dinner in inexpensive restaurants. Hotel rooms start at seventy five to one dollar for two people. Extortion fears about Atlanta are dismissed.

The Dangers of Race Course Gambling and Horse Valor
