The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1875-11-25

Iefs' OF 'hls Kind, usually OF considerr
able architectural beauty, are provid-
ed BY the States of aPennysl vania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
New Jersey, New 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 care
riage builders, the glass makers, the
cracker bakers, the boot and shoe
manufacturers, beside, quite a num-
Der of individual exhibitors. The
great demands for space will proba.
bly, render this course necessary TO q
considerable extent, especially for ex,
hibitors who have been tardy in ma
king their applications. In the main
exhibition building, for example, $685.
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 THU d
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 in this department
$50 English, and $50 from other Eur
ropean COUNT ics-wl ich is about $50
more than entered the Vienna Ma
chlnery Exhibition. Extra provision
is being made for annexes to accom-
modate the hydraulic machinery, the
steam hammers, torges, hosting en-,
gnos, boilers, plumbers, carpenters,
etc
Power in the machinery hall will
be chiefly supplid by pair Of mons
ster Corliss Engines. Each cylinder
is 80 inches in diameter, with a
stroke of ten feet; the fly wheel is 81
feet in diameter, and weighs IS tons;
the horse power is 400; and the
number of boilers is 20. This engine
drives about mile of shafting.
For the art Of exhibition, the
eminent American artists are under.
stood to be at work, and il may be
confidentAy 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 the
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 build~
ings, though all exhibiting nations
will be represented in the central
art gallery.
The Secretary of the Navy has ar~
ranged that United States war ves~
sci shall call next Spring, at con-
venient, European ports, to collect
and transport hither to the exhibi~
ton the works of American artists
resident in Europe. Among the
ports thus far designated, are Soutl'
ampton for England, Havre for
France, Bremen for Germany, and
Leghorn for Italy, to which, if desir-
able, others may be added.
Mr.. Bell the eminent English
sculptor, who designed the groups for
the plinth for the great Albert Me-
mortal Hyde Park, London, is re-
producing in terra Gotta, at the cele.
brated works in Lambeth, the one
which symbolizes America. The
figures in this group are colossal, GOV
ering ground space of Is feet square
1t will probably be placed in the
great central gallery, oopposite the
principal entrance
The Art Exhibition will include, in
addition to the works of contempora-
ry artists, representative productions
