of this kind, usually Of considerable
architectural beauty, are provided
by the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, Connecticut:
Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, West
Virginia, N eva ada, Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Delaware and it is
| liksly that others will follow the
example.
a number of Trade and Indus
trial Associations, which require
large amounts of space, will be
provided for in special buildings.
Among these are the photograph
ers, the carriage builders, the
glass makers, the cracker bakers,
the boot and shoe manufacturers,
beside, quite number of individ-
ual exhibitors. The great demands
for space will probably'render this
course necessary to a considerable
extent, especially for exhibitors
who have been tardy in making
their applications. In the Main Elk,
hibition Building, for example,
$4,000 square feet Of space had
been applied for by the beginning
of October by American exhibit
ors only; whereas, the aggregate
space which it has been possible
to reserve for the United States
Departments only 100000 square
feet, about one-third of which will
be consumed by passage ways.
The Machinery Building, like
the others, is already fully cover
Jed BY applications. There are
about 1000 American exhibitors
Fin this department, $50 English,
and $50 from other European
countries--which is about $50 more
than entered the Vienna Machine
T ry exhibition. Extra provision is
being made for annexes to accom-
modate the hydraulic machinery,
the steam hammers. forges, hoist
ing engines; boilers, plumbers,
carpenters, etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall
will be chiefly supplied by apair Of
Monster Corliss Engines. Each
cylinder is 40 inches in diametre,
with stroke of ten feet the fly.
wheel is 81 feet in diametre, and
weighs IS tons; the horse power
is 1400; and the number of boilers
is 20. This engine drives about
a mile of shafting
For the Art Exhibition, the most
eminent American artists are
understood to be at work, and it
may be confidently stated that, es-
pecially in the department Of land
scape painting, the United States
will.present a finer display than
the public has been led to expect.
Quite aside from the contributions
of American artists, applications
from abroad call for more than
four times the exhibiting space af-
forded by the great Memorial Hall.
Provision 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
arranged that a United States war
vessel shall call next Spring, at
convenient European ports, to
collect and transport hitber to the
Exhibitio the works Of American
artists resident in Europe. Among
the ports thus far designated, are
Southampton for England, Ha7re
for France, Bremen for Germany,
and Leghorn for Italy, to which,
if desirable, others may be add
ed.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent English
Sculptor, who designed the groups
for the plintb for the great Albert
Memorial in Hyde Park, London,
is reproducing in terra Gotta, at
the celebrated works in Lambeth,
the one which symbolizes Ameri-
ca. The figures in this group are
colossal, covering a ground space
of Is feet square. 1t will proba-
bly, be placed in the great central
gallery, opposite the principal en-
trance.
The Art Exhibition will include,
| in addition to the works Of contem-
porary artists, representative pro-
ductlons of the past century of
American art-those for instance,
of Stuart, Copley, Trumbull,
