mined to select the one a. the head of
this sheet.
The plan was adopted on the Goth of
August.
The Masonry Contracts were signed
on tho 4th of September and on the
25th of the same month the principal
part of the Iron Work was contracted
for. by the Masonry Contracts, the
foundation was to be delivered on the
,2lst Of October; and by the Iron
Agreements the delivery Of castings was
to commence at the same time.
We shall now go into the details OF
the site and size of the building. Re-
scrvoir square, on which it is erected,
lies at the northern extremity of the
city of New York, west of the Croton
Distributing Reservoir to the Sixth
Avenue. The precise distance from the
| Reservoir to the Sixth Avenue is 445
feet, and the width, north and south,
from Fortieth to Forty-second street, is
40 feet.
1t will be observed that this piece of
ground is nearly square. The shape is
unfavorable for architectural purposes.
In other respects no better spot could
be found in the city. The Sixth Ave
nue. Bailroad runs directly past it; the
Fourth Avenue Railroad runs near it
and it lies immediately in the vicinity OF
the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Avenues,
the main thoroughfares of that part of
the city.
The architects and designers, whose
plan was adopted by the Board, are
Messrs. Christensen and Gildemcister.
Mr.. Gildemeister has been sometime
settled amonst us, and is not only an
architect, but an artist. Mr.. Carsten-
sen is the designer Of the Tivoli and
Casino of Copenhagen, the principal
: public grounds of that city, and has re-
Gently established his home under the
broad shelter of the Republic.
The main features of the building are
as follows: 1t is, with the exception of
the. floor, entirely constructed of iron
and glass. The general idea of the
edifco is a Greek cross, surmounted by
dome at the intersection. Each
diameter of the cross will be 365 feet
f 5 inches long. There will be three
, similar entrances one on the Sixth
, Avenue, one or Fortieth, and one on
, Forty-second street. Each entrance
will be AZ feet wide, and that on Che
! Sixth Avenue will be approached by ;
3 fight of eight steps; over each front il
' a large semi-circular fan-light al fee
; wide and 2l feet high, answering to thc
y arch of the nave. Each arm of the
: cross is on the ground plan l49 fee,
I broad. This is divided into central
: nave and two aisles, one on each side

square feet, in e,o27 pancs, l6 by "a
or 80 inches.
On entering this building, the OBJ
servers eye will be greeted by the vista
of an archcd nave, Al feet wide, 81 feet
high, and 800 feet long while on ap-
preaching the centre, he will find him
self under dome 100 feet across, and
us feet high.
1t is certain, therefore, that the edifice
will be larger, and more effective in its
interior view, than any thing in the
country.
The aspect of the. building will be en-
tirely different from that of the London
Crystal Palace. Its form affords the
requisite scope for pleasing variety of
architectural establishment, by which
all monotony can be avoided, and allows
a very economical use of the ground.
The rising dome, independent of its et-
feet in the interior arrangement of the
cdifce, will give height and majesty.
The following are the objects which
the architects have striven to combine
in their plan:
l. The greatest possible interior
area.
.. Perfect safety and elegance OF
construction.
3. A we'll calculated and pleasing
admission of light.
4. A variety of coup dell in the in
terror.
Such is the bailding which will soon
salute the eyes of the city OF New York.
In asserting that it will be the largest
and most beautiful construction in the
country, nothing has been said more
than il deserves. But this is its least
merit. The objects to which the build
ing is destined form its real recommen-
dation.
There is offered here to the Europe
an and domestic producer an unequal
led opportunity OF displaying the works
of his skill, without any charge from the
time that they enter the building tih
withdrawn. The Association have al
ready made public the fact, that their
object is Erhi5qt.om alone, and that they
have no interest whatever, direct or in
direct, in the final disposition to be
made of articles display d They thus
avoid coming in conflict with any branch
of regular industry. There Will DC
gathered here the choicest products OF
the luxury of the Old World, and the
most cunning devices of the ingenuity OF
the New. The interests Of Manufac-
turc, Commerce, and the Arts, will hnd
encouragement and protection within
these walls, and another guarantee will
be given to the petmanerce Of peace;
Here will be collected multitudcs OF all

The above is a wood engraving of the
elevation of the building now erecting
on Reservoir Square, in the city of New
York, for the purposes of an Exhibition
of the Industry of all Nations, or, as it
is more familiarly termed, Crystal
Palace, or Worlds Fair and it is pro-
per to preface description of the cdifce
by statement of the general organiza-
ton of the enterprise. '
The prodigious success of the London
Exhibition turned the minds Of the in
dustrial world to the propricty and ex-
pediency of repeiitions of that effort
in different parts of Europe. Thus,
there has been already Que in Austria ;
the same has been done in Ireland and
preparations arc making for one on a
very extensive scale in Paris in the year
1854.
1t was very natural that those citizens
of the United States who were III Lon
don in the summer Of 1851, and who
saw and felt the gratifying triumphs that
our people achieved during that year,
and who also saw the peculiarly popular
character of cxpositions of this kind
and their beneficial tendencies in re.
gard to the working classes, should early
have entertained the idea of repeating
lthe Exhibition on this side of the water
Accordingly, shortly after tho close o
the London Fair, steps were taken fo1
The purpose. ...,
The form of our political system, ant
the Constitutional restrictions imposed
on our State and Federal action, render
ed it impossible that the affair shoul'
be, as it was in England, taken Up ant

fore became necessary to rely on indi
vidual enterprise and activity. .gosl
