follow the example.
A number Of Trade aud Industrial
Associations, which require large
amounts of space, will be provided for
in specia! buildings. Among these are
the photographers, the carriage builders,
the glass makers, the cracker bakers,
the boot and shoe manufacturers, be-
side, quite number of individual ex-
hibitors. The great demands for space
will probably render this course neces-
sary to considerable extent, especial
ly for exhibitors who have been tardy
in making their applications. In the
Main Exhibition Building, for example,
335, 300 square feet of space had been
applied for by the beginning of Octo
Der by American exhibitors only /;
whereas, the aggregate space which it
has been possible to reserve foI the
United States Department, is only l60,
600 square feet, about one-third of
which will be, consumed by passage
ways.
The Machinery Building, like the
others, is already fully covered by ap-
pIi;ations. There are about 1000 Amer
lean exhibitors in this department, $50
English, and $50 from other European
countries-wh:ch is about $50 more
than entered the Vienna Machinery Ex-
hibition. Extra provision is being
made for annexes to accommodate the
hydraulic machinery, the steam ham
mers, forges, hosting engines, boilers,
plumbers, carpenters, etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall will be
chiefly supplied by pair o: monster
Corliss Engines. Each cy Under is 40
inches in diameter, with stroke of ten
feet; the fly wheel is 81 feet in diam
erer, and weighs 55 tons; the horse
power is 400: and the number of
boilers is 90. Thi, engine drives about
mile of shafting.
For the Art Exhibition, the most
eminent American artists are under
stood to be at work, and it may be con-
fdently stated that, especially in the
department OF landscape painting, the
United States will present finer dis
play than the public has been led to
expect. Quite aside from the contri-
buttons Of American artists, applica-
tions from abroad call for more than
four times the exhibiting space afforded
by the great Memorial Hall. Provi-
sion for the surplus will be made In
temporary fre-prOof buildings, though
all exhibiting cations will be represen
ted in the central Art Gallery.
The Secretary of the Navy has ar
ranged that United States war vessel
shall call next Spring, at convenient
European ports, to collect and trans
port hither to the Exhibition the works
of American artists resident in Europe.
Among the p.ris thus far designated
are Southampton for England, Harre
for France, Bremen for Germany, and
Leghorn for Italy, to which, if desira-
bic, others may be added.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent English Sculp-
tor, who designed the groups for the
Plinth for the great Albert Memorial in
Hyde Park, London, is reproducing in
terra Gotta, at the celebrated works in
Lambeth, the one which symbolizes
America. The figures in this group
are colossal, covering ground space of
Is feet square. 1t will probably be
placed in the great central gallery, OPP
Posite the principal entrance.
The Art Exhibition will include, in
addition to the works of contemporary
artists, representative productions of
the past century of American art
those, for instance, of Stuart, Copley,
Trum bull, West, Aston, Sully. Neagie,
Elliot, Kensett, Cole These, as we'll
as the works offered by living artists,
will be passed upon oy the Committee
of Selection, who will visit for the pur
pose, New York, Boston, Chicago, and
other leading cities, in order to pre-
ven. the needless Transportation to Phil
adelphia of works Of Art not up to the
standard of admission.
A large number of orders and fra
ternities have signifed their intention
to held gatherings at Philadelphia du-
ring the period of the Exhibition
Among those which may now be emu
merated, are the Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania, Independent Order of Odd
