In little over sixty days the great
celebration at Philadelphia of the
Nations Centennial, will have come to q
close. Disposition is already being
made Of the buildings. Tho main
building has already been sold. The
Pennsylvania Railroad and three other
railroad corporations have bought it to
remove and put up at Chicago as grand
Union depot. 1t will cover space two
blocks wide and six long and will be the
largest and handsomest building OF the
kind in the world. 1t is thought Machin.
cry Hall will be taken to New York and
used by large manufacturing firm.
Memorial Hall will stand in its present
position as memento monument OF the
great Exposition and we think it prob
able before the year 1880 will be the
Capitol Building. as it is extremely
probable by that time the State Capital
will be removed from Harrisburg to Phil
adelphia.
