follow the example.
A number of Trade and Industrial Ass,
cations, which require large amounts @
space, Will be provided for in special build
lngS. Among these are the photographers
the carriage builders, the glass makers. tn
cracker bakers, the boot and shoe mann
tacturers, beside, quite number of in
dlvldual exhibitors. The great demand
for space will probably render this cours,
necessary to considerable extent, especiall,
Tor exhibitors who have been tarClv II
making their applications. In the Main
Exhibition Building, for example, 333. .3OC
square feet OF space had been applied-for by
the beginning of October by American ex.
hIhltors only; whereas, the aggregate spaco
which 1t has been possible to reserve for
the United States Department, is only l6O.-
OOO square feet, about oue-third of which
VIII be consumed by passage ways.
ihe Machinery Building, like the others,
Is already fully covered by applications.
There are about 1000 American exbibitors
In this department, $50 English, and 15O
from other European countries-wbicb ;s
ABOUT 25O more than entered the Vienna
Machlnery Exhibition. Extra provision is
being made for annexes to accommodate
the hydraulic machinery, the steam ham.
mers, torgcs, hosting engines. boilers
plumbers, carpenters. etc.
Power in the Machinery Hall will bo
chiefly supplied bya pair of monster CorIjss
Engines. Each cylinder is 40 inches in
diameter, with stroke of ten feet; the fly.
wheel is 81 feet in diameter. and weiois
% tons; the horsepower is 400: and the
number of boilers is 20. This engine drives
about 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, especially in the department Of land.
scape painting, the United States will nre.
present finer display than the public has
been led to expect. Quite aside from the
contributions of American artists, appIica-
tlons from abroad call for more than four
tunes the exhibiting space afforded by the |
great Memorial Hall. Provision for tho
surplus will be made in temporary fre.proof
buildings, though all exhibiting nations
viii be represented in the central Art
Gallery.
The Secretary of the Navy has arranged
that United States war vessel shall call
next Spring, at convenient European ports,
to collect and transport hither to the Exbi.
bltlon the works of American artists resi-.
dent IN Europe. Among the ports thus far
designated, are southampton, for England.
ltavre for France, Bremen for Germany
and Leghorn for Italy, to which. if desira.
bic, others may be added.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent English Sculptor.
who designed the groups for the rlnth for
the great Albert Memorial in HYDE parl,
London, IS reproducing in terra Gotta. at {
the celebrated works in Lambeth, the one :
which symbolizes America. The figures in
'his group are colossal, covering ground {
space OF ID feet square. 1t will probably
DC placed IN the great central gallery, op- I
P'9LIS tbe pIIhcIpal entrance.
The Art Exhibition will include. in oddi. s
ION to the works of contemporary artists. /
representative productions of the mast I
century of American art-those, for in. +
tance, of Stuart, Copley, TrumbuIl West. t
ASTON, Sully, Neagle, Elliot, Kensett. Cole, o
These, as well as the works offered by living il
rtists, will be passed upon by the Com. n
nIttee OF Selection, who will visit for tho n
purpose, New York, Boston, CHICAGO. and F
ther leading cities, in order to prevent the p
ieedless transportation to PHILADELPHIA of c
'orks Of Art not up the standard of adrnis. y
