DELAWARE AND THE CENTENNIAL

The United States International exhibition Is
now fixed fact. Tho design, OF plap, for the
buildings has boen drawn, and is admitted to be
admirably adopted for all it's purposes. The
main exhibition budibge will cover nearly forty
asres OF space, and will consist of a series OF
payilions each over one hundred feet in height,
and forming grand avenues one hundred aud six
~ feet wide The entire building Will be sur
rounded by piazza or colonnade, ana az nee
cessary al rangements will be carried out Tor the
comfort aad convenience of both exhibitors and
The experience taught by the Vienna Exhibit
ton will be largely taken advantage OF, the d.
rector General A. T. Goshurn, Esq, having
visited Vienna and carefully studied it in all its
details In addition to the main building, there
will be erected special departments for ma
chinery in motion, agricultural implements, hne
arts aud horticulture; conserIatorles peleg ar
ranged long in advance for the growth of rare
hot house plants.
there we're nine millions of visitors to the
London Exhibition ten millions to the Pars,
and seven millions to the Vienna Iaklng ipto
consideration the fact that our people are
great travelling community, it seems reasonable
that there IN ~ even larger number Visit the
Centennial Exhibition OF 1876.
As may be imagined, the expenses ofssuch an
undertaking must be very great and to secure
lie necessary means Board of FInauce has
been chartered by act OF Congress. This BOARD
is composed of well known gentlemen OF Penn
sylvanla and other states, who have organized
and are now receiving subscriptions for the
stock which is issued III shares of $40 each
This stock has been apportloned to the different
states pro rata upon the population, 50 as u
give every citizen an opportunity 10 pecomt
permanently interested Some oil the states llaN'
completed their quota and the VaTion
State and local committees are now organl
Aug all over the country. The quota Of the
State OF Delaware is but 3,242 shares, and II II
now time that proper acuon should De taken ken
1t will be remembered that till the year l7T6
Delaware was attached TO PennsyVanla, an
therefore we may claim special right to tax
an active part In the celeDratioa OF the annlYer
Hary OF that date at which time we became ser
arate State. We trust that immediate steps WI
be adopted ali over the State, to secure the net
essary subscriptions by the organization
