hlbitors only /; whereas. the aggregate
space which it has been possible to res
erve for TIE United States Department
lis only 100. 600 square feet, about one
third of which will be consumed by pas
sage ways.
The Machinery Building, like The
Others, is already fully covered byap-
plications. There are about 1000 Amer
lean exhibitors in this department $50
English, aud $50 from other European
countrles-whlch is about 900 more than
entered the Vienna Machinery Exhibi-
tion. Extra provision IS being mad e
for anncxes to accommodate the hy-
draulic machinery, the steam hammers,
FORCES, hosting engines, boilers, plum
bers, carpentt RS, etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall will be
chiefly supplied by pair of monster
Corliss Engines. Each cylinder Is 40
inches in diameter, with stroke of ten

ter, and weighs So tons; the horsepower
ls 400; and the number of boilers is 90.

For the Art Exhibition, the most EN-
insnt American artists are understood
ia 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 contributions OF Ameri-
can artists, applications from abroad call
for more than four times the exhibiting
space afforded by the great Memorial
Hall. Provision for the surplus will be
made in temporary fire-proof buildings,
though al! exhibiting nations will be
represented in the central Art Gallery.
The Secretary Of the Navy has arrang-
ed that United States war vessel shall
call next Spring, at convenient European
ports, to collect and transport hither te
the Exhibition the works of American
artists resident in Europe. Among the
ports thus far designated, are Southamp-
ton for England, Havre for France, Bre'
men for Germany, and Leghorn for Ltsly
TO which, if desirable. others may be adj
ded.
