exhibition building is smaller in size, and
much less elaborate in its structure having
three parallel aisles, and no cross aisles,
and being about twenty-five hundred feet
in length, with breadth of one hundred
and sixty feet. The idea of making of
this building eventually railway station,
has caused Reconstruction to be of solid
and substantial order. 1t is to be sup
piled with every facility for displaying
the machinery which many nations will
contribute to the best advantage; and will
contain ample motive power, with shaft
ings on iron frames, heavy engines, etc.
The machinery to be displayed in this
building will be mainly the latest and
best inventions for use in the mechanical
arts, while a smaller receptacle for simply
agricultural implements is to be erected
separately. At the present moment at
least five thousand men are employed in
constructing the main building and its de-
Tendencies, and the work has been going
on steadily all winter. Considering the
relative time, the Exhibition is much more

useful, and ornamental, will be displayed
without regard to space or expense, the
pleasure and refreshment of the multi

arrive, will be cared for by ample prepare

than anything else, made the Paris Expo

on the ground. whittier the guests may
resort, either for familiar home dishes, or
to seek those which have become famous
as the culinary specialties of other nations.
These will be luxuriously fitted up, and
provided with everything to charm the
