commanding elevation in Fairmount
Park = the rising accommodating
buildings of the Exhibition appear
with their diversified architecture,
gay colors, and glittering trophies,
in the sunshine, like new city Of
fairyland. The majestic long roof
lines Of the main building and ma.
chinery building, the colossal stat
ues on the dome and roof of Mem
orial Hall, and the granite eagles
lowering over its pavillions; the
Gothic arches of the Agricultural
Building-lts roof of Imprinted tin
flashing even stronger lustre than
the crystal shield of the beautiful
mauresque Horticultural Conserva-
atory little further away-these,
with the numerous other buildings
completed and in every stage of
erection by workmen whose trowels
and hammers make a gentle distant
din, compose a scene that when the
leaves Of the intervening trees grow
out in May will have no counter
part in any travellers memory. 1t
was in the bright, airy, and grace
full Horticultural Hail.. with its
arched roof and beautiful colors,
that the famous Congressional
SPREE" on the 18th of December
last, eliminated in grand banquet.
In this cnticing place, Congress, the
Supreme Court, and the President
and Cabinet, together with numer.
Gus representatives of the "third
estate" sat down together and
drank Philadelphia wine. This is
said to be the shrewd device by
which the Government appropria-
ton was carried, but l do not be-
lievc it. Many Congressman who
enjoyed the goodies of that occa-
sion voted no OH the bill, even Mt
the risk of having their patriotism
questioned. l was in Washington
while the matter was pending, and
know that it was not lack of pat
riotism which caused those adverse
votes. 1t was the overpowcring
triumph of that very sentimental
patriotism that carried the measure
against other powerful influences
and considerations. Dissatisfaction
has been expressed that the affair
is in the hands ola corporation, and
some greedy spectators whose OBJ
Ject is gain-to make a few private
fortunes. l think this is simply
croaking, but promise to inquire
into them and watch them, and tell
you more about them in my next.
For full descriptions of the build
ings, and what Is to be seen and
done; the details of rules, regula-
tons, and unique things to trans
pire in connection with the Centcn-
nial; the opening May 10th, and
the 4th of July Jubilee, etc., l must
employ future letters. There are
many interesting things to write
about, but this letter already ex-
Goods the space reasonably belong
ing to it. l have rambled around
and talked good deal without say
ing anything. Some of the funniest
