The articles to he exhibited have been
classified in seven departments, which, for
the most part, will be located in appropri-
ate buildings, whose several areas are as
follows:

This provides nearly ten more tres for
exhibiting space than there were at Vienna,
the. largest International Exhibition yet
held. Yet the applications of exhibitors have
been so numerous as TO exhaust the space,
and many important classes of objects must
be providedlf or. in special buildings.
An important special exhibition will be
made by the United States Government,
and is being prepared under the supervis-
ion of board of officers representing the
several executive departments of the Gov
eminent. A fine building of ~ acres is
provided for The purpose, space in which
will be occupied by the War, Treasury, Ma
Wy, Interior, Post Office, and Agricultural
Departments and the Smithsonian Instltu-
ton.
Tho women's cent en- NAL executive COM
mittee have raised $4,000 for the erection
of pavilion in which to exhibit every
kind of women's work. To this collection,
women OF all nations are expected to con-
tribute.
The list OF special buildings is constantly
increasing, and present indications are that
their total number will be from 200 to $50.
Most OF the important foreign nations
England, Germany, Austria, France, Swe-
den, Egypt, Japan, and others-are putting
up one or more structures each for exhibit
ing purposes, or for the use of the commits
sioners, exhibitors and visitors. Offices
and headquarters OF this kind, usually of
considerab BILE architectural beauty, are pro-
vided by the States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Missouri, Kansas, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Nevada, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Della ware; and it is likely that
others will follow the example.
A number of trade and industrial asso-
Citations, which require large amounts OF
space, will be provided for in special build
ings. Among these are the photographers,
the carriage builders, the glass makers, the
cracker bakers, the boot and shoe manu-
faclurers, beside quite Il number of indi-
vidual exhibitors. The great demands for
space will probably render this course nee
essary to considerable extent, especially
for exhibitors who have been tardy in max
ing their applications. In the main exhi-
billion building, for example, 1873, 800 square
feet of space had been applied for by the
beginning of October by American exhib-
itors only; whereas, the aggregate space
which 1t has been possible to reserve for
the United States department, is only 16O,-
900 square feet, about one-lhirdEof which
will be consumed by passage ways.
The machinery building, like the others,
is already fully covered by applications.
There are about 1000 American exhibitors
in this department, $50 English, and $50
from other European countries-which is
about $50 mole than entered the Vienna
machinery exhibition. Extra provision is
being made for annexes to accommodate
the hydraulic machinery, the steam ham
mers, FORCES, hosting engines, boilers,
plumbers, carpenters, etc.
Power in the machinery hall will be
chiefly supplied by pair of monster Cor
liss engines. Each cylinder is 40 inches in
diameter, with a stroke OF ten feet the
hy-wheel is 81 feet in diameter, and weighs
SIS tons; the horse power is 400; and the
number Of boilers is 20. This engine drives
about a mile of shafling.
For the Art exhibition, the most eminent
American artists are understood 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 led
to expect. Quite aside from the contribu-
lions Of American artists, applications from
abroad call for more than four times the ex-
hiblting space afforded by the great Me-
mortal hall. Provision for the surplus will |
be made in temporary fire-proof buildings, |
though all exhibiting nations will be rep |
resented in the central art gallery.
The Secretary of the Navy has arranged |
that United States war vessel shall call |
next spring, at convenient European ports, |
10 collect and transport hither TO the exhl-
bition the works of American artists resi- |
dent in Europe. Among the ports thus far
designated, are Southampton for England, |
Havre for France, Bremen for Germany, |
and Leghorn for Italy, 10 which, if desira-
BILE, others may be added.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent Engll sculptor,
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 a
ground space Of l5 feet square. 1t will
probably be placed in the great central gal
lery, opposite the principal entrance.
The art exhibition will include, in addl-
ton to the works of contemporary artists,
productions of the past cent
uTy OF American art-those, for instance,
Of Stuart, Copley, Trumbull, West, Aston,
Sully, Neagle, Elliot, Kensett, Cole. These,
as we'll as the works offered by living ar
lists. will be passed upon by the committee
