The interior Of the main edihce Is 20 metres long
by 1G- broad. Let me say, once torall-regre,-
ting that we do not wisely adopt the trench
system Of weights and measures-that the
metre is feet 3 inches and lines English.
IL is divided lengthHse into three galleries. the
central one. or nave, is 1870 meters long by - in
width and 30 in hight; around 1t, above the lower
range of windows runs an upper gallery, "A me-
tiers wide Besides its glass dome, the Palace Is
lighted by So large windows. There are 40 sup

Although tomorrow is nOmlnally the last day
for the reception Of goOos, many exhloltors are yet
behind hand. In this respect an exception is
made in favor of distant exhibitors, as Americans,
Swedes, and others. Ii is said there are about
81, 0C0 English exhibitors, 500 Austrian, 1900
rein $50 Belgian 400 Swiss, $40 Spanish, 22D

French; the number of exhibitors from the United
States | have not heard or seen stated; am
afraid it is not large; per contra We have more
commissioners than any other three countries.
In respect of space France takes less than half
for herself: this from courtesy, not indulgence.
As have mentioned in previous letters, she has
not reserved a sufficient space for all her own
merifOrOus producers. Only few DAYS ago it
was decided TO build the connecting gallery aud
include the old Panorama building, Of which have
spoken above. About its construction, and in COM
pleting the decorations Of the main palace and
LAYING out the English garden opposite swarms Of
werkmen, like bees around hive are busy night
and day.
One Of the best features OF the Exhibition, the
prices Of admission, have left to the last. Sea
sOn tickets | am told, are 10 cost but ten dollars
go francs, and the Emperor and Empress setting
a good example and their faces against dead
heads have put down their names on the season
list There are 70 be each week il is said, one
FIVE franc day three one franc days, two half
franc DAYS, and one four day. Several medi-
cal men and a Provisional Hospital will be at
tacled to the Palace. Unhappily there have been
frequent calls for medical service IN the course OF
its cOnstru ction. 1t is certain that these light
headed, thoughtless Frenchmen are much less
given to needless exposure of life aud limb than
We calculating. prudent Yankees. But spite OF all
these precautions numerous accidents have hap
