The work of putting up annexes
still goes on. Those to the Horti-
cultural and Agricultural Halls
are the latest: A temporary con-
servatOry of wood will be erected
on the north side of the first-nam-
ed building, and an annex, cover
ing 10000 square feet, and intend
ed for the exhibition of carriages,
and various kinds of wood will be
erected just north of Agricultural
Hall. The contract has also been
awarded for an annex. $50 by 200
feet, to be used for the pomoIogi-
Cal display, and located at the
north. east corner of the main
structure. The object is to afford
plenty of exhibiting room for the
fruit, berries and vegetables of the
summer and fall. and it is esti-
mated that ten thousand dishes
of it must be displayed in order
to make a proper display of fruit.
Among the numerous comment
orative statues, fountains, etc.,
which are to grace the Centennial
grounds is the colossal monument,
forty-eight feet in height, by M.
Bartholdi the eminent French
Sculptor, commemorative Of the
friendship which has ever existed
between France and America, and,
which, at the close of the Exhibit
ton, is to be erected on an island
in New York harbor. 1t will be
located near Machinery Hall, on
the bOarder of the Centennial lake.
The light which will CLEAN from
the torch and crown of the figure
will be furnished from an electri-
cal instrument in Machinery Hall.
The pedestal will be of sufficient
height to allow the brilliant iIlu-
minatiOn to extend all over the
Centennial grounds.
The arrangements for entrance
and exit to the Exhibition are
most completed, and very thor
ough they are. There will be
thirteen places of entrance and
exit, selected with reference to
thier proximity to the main roads
and to the points where the rail-
roads, horse cars and steamboats,
will set down their passengers.
The entrances will nearly all have
four gateS-one for visitors proper,
another for bearers of compliment
tary tickets, third for exhibitors,
members of the press and en-
g'CEres. md a fourth ,f wagons
According 10 the estimated traffic
at these points, there sal. he at
each place Of entrance a number
Of gates or turnstiles. OF these
there will be 1906; the exits, II in
number viii be near them. and
there viii be n all, including
.--ose ~. oAs, 45J gates.
The turnstiles will have the
usual four arms, and will be in
tWos at the end of passageW
ten feet long, separated by anoth-
er passageWay. Means will be
taken to prevent a direct pressure
upon the line of visitors in these
passageways. Each turnstile will
be under the control of a keeper
who will receive the admission |
fee-a fifty cent note-befOre the |
visitor passes the stile, which will, |
by mechanical contrivance, be |
opened by the keepers foot. AS
the stile turns for each entrance
it registers itself at the gate, and |
by electrical communication at |
the managers Office. The money |
when received is deposited in a |
box placed under the counter, and |
which by on ingenious contri- |
vance locks itself when pulled |
from its position, and can only be
unlocked by the bank officers.
Between the two entrances will |
stand an officer, who, with his
back to the middle passage pre-
viously referred to, will watch
both lines as they enter, and on
the least disturbance will pass the
disturber out through the middle
passage and beyond the fence.
The exits are ingenious contri-
vances, and the motto painted Ov-
er them should be "nulla retror-
sum-" For while freely permit
ting departure from the grounds,
they absolutely prevent re-en-
trance, although no officer is re-
quired to watch them. They will
resemble small rooted sheds. with
two gates opening inward or back
ward from a post on the fence
line. These gates are a sort of
compound turntile with ratchet
and are so construct
ed as to eject the departing sight
seer some what after the Spanish
fashion. 1t is we'll to be sure you
are right before you go ahead for
when once you have entered the
tolls it is best to abandon all hope
of returing.s.Y Your only choice is to
