CROSS HALLS
that form the ribs OF the main structure, and
IN fact, are part Of it, only with this difference
that, until their inside circles reach the long hall
which they croes, they are, to all intents and
purposes. separate galleries. The length Of
each one Of these cross-ha11s is $50 feet takiug
out the width OF the Main Hall, through which
they cut until they meet their sis-a-uis that il,
tween these cross-bt.iidings are Is courts, or
open spaces, left; each one Of these is 100 feet
vide end about $50 long. lnasmuch az the de-
.1and Tor covered space has, in spite Of the I'M
naenso area that has already been built over. far
exceeded all expectations, the most Of these
courts will be rooted over, and thus may easily
be turned into additional exhibiting rooms. I
question, however, the practicab:lity of this
plan, because both Light and cir are admitted
into the et3ross-gallcries through windows OPEN
be rooted over, then it could be dore only ct the
cost OF both air and light to the cross-halls, as
well as to part Of the Main Hall.
AL the above Buildings have just mentioned
are under cover, with their floors laid, and are
nov being decorated and made ready for tho
reception Of the exhibiting articles, which, in
the Main Hall, are to be arranged On shelves
running along the sides and the centre, and, in
the cross-halls, only on shelves on the walls, SO
that 100 900 people will easily move along and
inspect the exhibited goods without any incon-
yenlence or discomfort
THE HALL FOE MACHINERY
Is situated about 1o5 yards in the rear Of the
Main Industry Hall. Its length is $500 feet,
and its breadth about 175 feet. But, immense
en- this space is it has been found insufficient to
meet the demand for space. Thus. agricultural
machinery has been excluded from it, and
second building, for agricultural machines, ia
now being erected on tho southeast end Of tho
one already completed. The spaea between the
which is about 400 feet wide, will be ali studded
over with buildings and pavilions for

The most noteworthy among these latter will
be the separate building now being put up by
the English Tor the collective exhibition of e1-
cluslvely English agricultural machinery. The
French, Germans, and Austrians will also have
their collective exhibiting phviions. Besides
these, great many manufacturers are erecting
buildings Of their own, to til them with goods Of
their own manufacture.
