ITS ARCHITECTURAL PLAN, EXTENT AND PROBABLE
COST.
The Centennial Committee on Plans and Ar
chitecture have adopted plan for the C0nten-
nial Building. II is called the Pavilion, and
was designed by Calvert Vaux, of New York, as
sisted by Mr.. Redford. 1t is the result Of the
study and thought OF a score OF years
Mr.. Vaux conceived his plan, in anticipa-
tion of the London Exhibition of 1852, and has
gradually developed it, until it has commended
itself to the Centennial Committee on Plans as
the best among forty-three competitors. Its
merits may be briefly summed up in these points:
1t is essentially original and American. No Ex-
position building in the world has been con-
structed upon anything like the Centennial plan.
We do not, therefore, borrow, but, as we should
We contribute new architectural idea to the
European world. The plan admits of an admir-
able classification, and absolutely prevents any
partiality in the assignment OF space, all parts
of the structure being equally accessible and
conspicuous. II also admits of grand vistas in
numerous directions, an important feature who'll
ly lost in the Vienna and other Exposition build
ings. 1t depends for its effect not upon the ex-
terror, but the interior. IL admits of rapid aud
cheap construction and finally, by the addition
OF the Sims plan it Is capable of indefinite sym
metric extension, as the requirements of the
Exposition may demand.
The main building ID to be constructed so as to
meet any increased demand for space. At
present tnb EQhlu btIuCbuE6 10 TO D6 AtUtU E6bt
long and $50 feet wide. The central part, to
the extent of 952 feet will be wider by the in
PRODUCTION of pavillions. The principal part of
the building will be a spacious hall 408 feet
wide and 3 2040 feet long with transept 952
feet long and 40S feet wide. The interior open
courts will be novel; They can be made at
tractive for fountains, orchestral stands and
points for observation. The foreign commits
sion adioins and offices and restaurants, ETC.,
will occupy exterior pavillions. A covered piaz-
"a surrounds the whole. Iron is the most de-
srable material for the main arches state gal
vanzed iron or tin for the roof and brick for
the gables. Or the arches may be OF iron rising
fifty feet from the ground the roof covered
with galvanized IRON and the rest of the arches
and gables be OF wood. In this way the cost
would be $3, $50, 900, and no cheaper would an
swer. The grand pavilion must have many
exits and entrances, and be easily approached by
the present park drives. The principal entrance
is to be from the east and q large concourse of
covered ways surrounding will be located at that
end. Railway tracks will enter the ground near
Belmont and Elm avenues crossing and facili-
tate the receipt of materials and freight.
Some idea may be formed of the size Of, the
building from the following figures Industrial
Hail will cover thirty-slx acres machinery hall,
ten acres agricultural hall, five acres. Tie
conservatory and such other buildings as may
be determined upon to be added to any extent
necessary.

The Now York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger says -
The journeymen bricklayers are doing what
they can to resist the reduction of their wages.
The General Council of the United Order of
American Bricklayers were in session at Ger
mania Hall nearly all day, to receive reports
from the various shops. Work has been stopped
at three or four uptown establishments, and the
number, of men who have quit thus far is not
more than so and even these it is ssid will soon
be taken back as the bosses are unable to get
non society men to take their places. Itis deni-
ed that the bosses are losing money. Brick has
recently fallen 81 per Thousand, and building is
by no means as slack as has been represented.
The bosses, however, while admitting lower
prices for brick, allege that apart from certain
contracts in hand, they have no engagements in
prospect, and that, at the present prices OF la
bor, they are not auxions to embark in new un-
deItthii g.,
rne HtrIks in progress to-day among the la
borers in this city in consequences OF reduction
of wages by the master masons is very general,
nearly all those who were at work on Saturday,
having suspended by order of the Union 1t is
estimated that some 5000 men struck to. day, and
they will stand out until successful. The en-
ployers appear equally determined to resist the
strike. 1t is now stated that over Is 600 are out
of work in this city.

commodlous and comfortable, and the panelng
and wood work decorations are all in keeping
with the luxurious furniture and general ap-
polntments Of the vessel. No Indifferent work
Is to he seen from stem to stern, but all the
WORK has been performed by skillful mechanics,
under the direction of competent engineers and
builders. The sofas, lounges and some of the
other furniture were made by the Enterprise
Manufacturing Co., of this city, and the uphol-
satering wae done by Malmsten q Akerman.

about 70 passengers. A few Wilmingtonians
ana several of the members of the Cromwell
