Power in the Machinery Hall will
be chiefly supplied by pair of mon
ster Corliss engines. Each cylinder is
| 40 inches in diameter, with stroke
of ten feet; the fiy-wheelis thirty-one
| feet in diameter, and weighs 55 tons;
the horsepower is 400; and the num-
Der of boilers is 20. This 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
confidently stated that, especially in
the department of landscape painting,
the United States will present finer
display than the public has been led
to expect. Quite aside from the con-
tributions of American artists, appli-
cations from abroad call for more than
four times the exhibiting space afford
ed by the great Memorial Hall. Pro-
vision for the surplus will be made in
temporary fire. proof buildings, though
all exhibiting nations will be repre-
sented in the central Art Gallery.
The Secretary of the Navy has ar
ranged that United States war vesr
sci shall call next Spring, at conve-
nient European ports, to collect and
transport hither to the Exhibition the
works of American artists resident in
Europe. Among the ports thus far
designated, are Southampton for Eng
land, Havre for France, Bremen for
Germany, and Leghorn for Italy, to
which, if desirable, 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 producing
in terra Gotta, at the celebrated works
in Lambeth, the one which symbol
ICES America. The figures in this
group are colossal, covering ground
space of Is feet square. 1t will proba-
bly, be placed in the great central gal
lery, opposite the principal entrance.
The Art Exhibition will include, in
addition to the works of cOntempory
artists, representative productions of
the past century of American art
those, for instance, of Stuart, Copley,
Trumbull, West, Aston, Sully, Nea-
gle, Elliot, Kensett, Cole. These, as
we'll as the works offered by living ar
fists, will be passed upon by the Com
mittee of Selection, who will visit for
the purpose New York, Boston, Chi
cagO, and other leading cities, in Or
der to prevent the needless transporta-
ton to Philadelphia of works of art
not up to the standard of admission.
A large number of orders and fra
ternities have signified their intention
to hold gatherings at Philadelphia
during the period of the Exhibition.
