ters of this kind, usually of considers
able architectural beauty, are provid.
ed by the States of Pennysl vani,.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Kew Jersey, Now York, Connecticut
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, West
! Virginia, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and Delaware; and it is likely that
others will follow the enample.
a number of trade and industrial
associations, which require large a.
mounts OF space, will be provided
for in special buildings. Among
these are the photographers, the cara
riage builders, the glass makers, the
cracker bakers, the boot and shoe
manufacturers, beside, quito a num-
Der of individual exhibitors. The
great demands for space will proba-
bly, render this course necessary to
considerable extent, especially for ex.
hibitors who have been tardy in ma
king thcir applications. In the main
exhibition building, for example, $780,
300 square feet of space had been
applied for by the beginning of Oc-
tober by American exhibitors only;
whereas, the aggregate space which
it has been possible to reserve for the
United States Department, is only
100000 square feet, about one third
Of which will be consumed by pass
sage ways.
The machinery building, like the
others, is fully covered by applica--
tions. There are about 1000 Amer-
lean exhibitors i'll this department
$50 English, and $50 from other Eu.
ropean counts les which is about $50
more than entered the Vienna Ma
chlncry Exhibition. Extra provision
is being made for annexes to accom-
modato the hydraulic machinery, the
steam hammers, torgee, hosting en-,
gines, boilers, plumbers, carpenters,
etc
Power in the machinery hall will
be chiefly eupplid by pair of mons
ster Corliss Engines. Each cylinder
is DO inches in diameter, with q
stroke of ten feet; the fly wheel is 81
feet i'll diameter, and weighs IS tons;
the horse power is 400; and the
number Of boilers is 20. This engine
drives about a milo of shafting.
For the art of exhibition, the
eminent American artists are under
stood to be at work, and it may be
confidently stated that, especially in
the department of landscape painting
the United States will present a finer
display than the public has been lod
to expect. Quite aside from tho tho
contributions of American artists, ap
plications from abroad call for more
than four times the exhibiting space
afforded by the great Memorial Hall.
Provisions for the surplus will be
made in temporary fire proof builds
ings, though all exhibiting nations
will be represented in tho central
art gallery.
The Secretary Of the Navy has ar~
ranged that United States war vcs~
sci shall call next Spring, at con-
venicnt, European ports, to collect
and transport hithor to the cxhibi~
ton the works of American artists
resident in Europe. Among the
ports thus far designated, are South
ampton for England, uavre for
France, Bremen for Germany, and
L4ghorn for Italy, to which, if desir-
able, others may be added.
