This provides nearly ten more acres
for exhibiting space than there were
at Vienna, the largest international
Exhibition yet held. Yet the appli-
cations Of exhibitors have been so
numerous as to exhaust the space,
aud many important classes of objects
must be provided for in special build
ings.
An important special exhibition
will be made by the United States
Government AMI is being prepared
under the supervision of q Board of
Officers representing the several Ex-
ecutive Departments of the Govern
ment. A fine building OF Al acres is
provided for the purpose, space in
which will be occupied by the War,
Treas Try, Navy, Interior, Post Or
flee, and Agricultural Departments
and the Smithsonian Institution.
The WOmaniS Centennial Execu-
tive Committee, have raised $50, 1000
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 contrib
ute.
The list of special buildings is con-
stantly increasing, and present indi-
cations are their total number will be
from 200 to $50. Most OF the impor-
tant foreign nations-England, Ger
many, Austria, France, Sweden,
Egypt, japan, and Others-are put
ting up one or more structures each,
for exhibiting purposes, or for the uss
of the com mission ers, exhibitors and
visitors. Offices aud headquarters of
this kind, usually of considerable
architectural beauty, are provided by
the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, New Jer-
sey, New York, Connecticut, Mas
sschusetts, New Hampshire, Missouri,
Kansas, Virginia, West Virginia,
Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Della
ware and it is likely that others
will follow the example. r..
/ A numb of Trade and Industrial
Associations, which require large
amounts of space, will be provided
for in special buildings. Among
these are the photographers, the car
riage builders, the glass makers, the
cracker bakers, the boot aud shoe
Der of individual exhibitors. The
great demands for sp4ce will probably
rSnder this course necessary to con-
siderable extent, especially for exhibit
tors who have been tardy in making
their applications. 10 the Main Ex-
hibitiOn Building, for example, 333, 300
square feet OF space had been applied
for by the beginning of October by
American exhibitors only whereas,
the aggregate space which it has been
possible to reserve for the United
States Department, is only 160, ,000
square feet, about One-third of which
will be consumed by passage ways.
The Machinery Building, like the
others, is already fully covered by
applications. There are about I,00C
American exhibitors in this depart.
ment, $50 English, and $50 from 9TH
er European countries-Which Is about
$50 more than entered the Vienns
Machinery Exhibition. Extra pro
vision is being made for annexes tC
accommodate the hydraulic machin-
cry, the steam hammers, fOrges,
hosting engines, boilers, plumbers,
carpenters, etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall will
be chiefly supplied by pair Of mon
ster CorIiss Engines. Each cylindeI
is 40 inches in diameter, with stroke
of ten feet; the hy-wheel is 81 feet In
diameter, and weighs 55 tons the
horsepower is l, 400 and the number
of boilers is %. This engine drives
about a mile OF shafting.
For the Art Exhibition, the mos
eminent American artists are under
stood to be at work, and il may bC
confidently stated that, especially IL
the department of landcape painting
| the United States will present q fine
display than the public has been LEI
to expect. Quite aside from the con
tributions OF American artists, appll
cations from abroad call for more thar
four times the exhibiting space afford
ed by the great Memorial Hall. Pro
vision for the surplus will be made IL
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 a United States war yes
sci shall call next Spring, at eonven
lent European ports, to collect and
transport hither to the Exhibition tn
works of American artists resident IL
Europe. Among the ports thus fa
designated, are Southampton for Eng
land, Havre for France, Bremen fo
Germany, aud Leghorn for Italy, u
which, if desirable, others may b
added.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent Englisl
Sculptor, who designed the groups 70
the plinth for the great Albert Me
mortal in Hyde Park, London, is re
producing in terra Gotta, at the cele
brated works in Lambeth, the on
which sym bolizes America. Toe fig
ures in this group are colossal, cover
ing 8 ground space Of Is feet square
1t will probably be placed in the grea
central gallery, opposite the princips
entrance.
The Art Exhibition will include, /
addition to the works Of the conten
porary artists, representative produC
tions OF the past century OF America
srt-those, for instance, Of Stuar
} Copley, Trumbull, West, Aston, So
ly, Neagle, Elliot, Kensett, Col,
These, as well as the works offere
J by living artists, will be passed upo
