The zsuse sre Of the building demanded great care in

end tie ar Infect has wainsooted the walls made each

intercept the reflection of sound back upon the stage in al
echo aiser tie fashion OF the whispering gallery in thu
done Of st PsHs the partitions opposite the stage in th'
f and second ba COMES are elevated much possible
Fer the purpose the heavy projections of the prosce
ruu and boxes eondense the sound. and throw il will
greater force into the theate while the deep AM
heavy hsDgings preclude e possibility Of is return Blu
despite the niCest sccousal calculation should the vena

BIZ, hollow tub transmitting sound but destroying its in
eligibility
When completed this building viii be second to none 10
If ts interior dfcOrafionS-
the grand sweep of the pectatory blazing with beeweed
beauty the foreground Of fine white and gold with shaded
relief the rudy background, giving prominence to the
vast au6uce the bold curves and the graceful foliage al
oyerspread pemeated aud pervaded with quiet radiance
like golden rain, will present corp de all of unsurpassed
grandeur Some NAV obiec that the pillars which support
the balconies not composed of rcn which would GER
any present airy appearance bur in consideration
of the University of the building the managers believed
the use Of iron would excite feel Of insecurity and terror
in the minds of tie audience Aside from the pillars in
spring the audience with confidence they in char
acter with the magnitude of the building.
The Academy is adapted for ball room purposes as well
A. operate performances The may readily be un
screwed from the floor and by mechanical contrivance
the cor can be elevated level with the stage and as
fne ball room as the most devoted Terpsichorean could
desire is ready FOR immediate use
In building devoted to public entertsinment-the con
servaon Of public comfort especially in the matter of space,
il great desideratum The introduction of new species
Of chair will undoubtedly 60 far toward the attainment of
this end These new chairs composed of gded cast
iron frames wei padded at the back seat and rests
ard covered with crimson plush The space between the
backs OF the chairs % inches The width Of the body Of
each chair 20 inches its depth foot while the seat
is nearly two feet in depth Its novelty consists in the seat
folding up fat against the back Of the chair by OF
springs attached to pivot whenever the occupant rises
This allows him step back within the space of the foot
deep frame and give free passage TO lady or gentleman
Seats Of this description will be inserted in the wall at the
back Of the spectato that when the building unusu-
ally crowded they may be made of at other times they
vii fold up against tie wall ready for use but never
in ho way These seats cannot become dusty for so soon
as the audience rise depart the seats fold up and free
passage way il afforded to any part OF the house
The details of the building complete in every sense
There are FIVE reeshmentsaoon three kitchens and other
aaneements for the accommodation Of public balls dinners
acknowledgements generally Altogether this building in
its conception and execution bids fair to confer well de
served fame upon the architect Mr. Sazer to be orna
nent worthy of the commercial metropolis OF the country
and lasting honor to the prncey enterprise Of it, found
ers 1t is to be hoped that the beraly which has charao
terized the erection of the building win influence its man
agement Should the prices of admission be placed 30 low
as to be no barrier to the popular enjoyment of first ea
opera-the exotic will become indgenous-the success
the enterprise be beyond all question
