bic spaces for exhibits. The ground
plan of the building is parallelogram,
$40 feet by $40 feet, covering about 1O4
acres. Sixteen foreign nations have
space in this building, and in the 147, )
572 square feet which remain, more
than 1000 American exhibitors are &C
commodated. This necessitates special
buildings for the collective exhibits of
their natural resources, provided by the
different states.
In addition to the grounds within the
Enclosure, an eigibly located stockyard,
p acres in extent, has been provided
for the display Of live stock, which will
be exhibited in series of shows during
the months of September, October and
November. Two farms, moreover, of
about 80 acres each, have been suitably
planted for the trials of agricultural
machinery.

independence Hall.

The Hall of independence, on Chest
nut street, between Fifth and Sixth, was
commenced in 1929, and completed in
1874, having been designed for the use
of the Provincial Assemblies, and the
long hall formerly in the upper story
was often used for grand official BAN
quets given to governors, distinguished
strangers and generals, and to the mem
bers of the First Congress, when they
arrived in 1774. 1t was originally dec

The Agricultural Building

stands north of the horticultural build
ing, being separated from it by TO
mantle ravine, and has a commanding
view of the Schuylkill river and the
northwestern suburbs Of Philadelphi a
beyond. This building illustrates a
novel combination of materials, mainly
wood and glass, and consists of long
nave crossed by three transepts, each
being composed of truss-arches Of
Gothic form. The nave is $50 feet long.

and 70 feet high, and the two end tran
septs so feet wide and 20 feet high. Its
interior appearance resembles that of q
great cathedral, and In looking from
transept to transept the vista IS e1-
tremely imposing. A portion Of this
building is supplied with steam power
for the use of agricultural machinery.

Machinery Building.

This structure is located about $50
feet west of the main exhibition build
ing, and as its north front stands upon
the same line, is practically a continue
ton Of that edifice, the two together
presenting a frontage of 1924 feet
from their eastern to their western
ends, upon the principal avenue within
the grounds. This building consists of
a main hall, 1,402 feet long and 100 feet
wide, with an annex on the southern
side POS feet by 210 feet. The entire
area covered is sos, 440 square feet, or
nearly thirteen acres, and the floor
space afforded is about fourteen acres.

seven feet above the ground, are finish
ed with brick work in panels between
the columns. Above this there are
glazed sashes. The roof covering is Of
tin, that being the best roofing known
in this climate to resist leakage. The
flooring is Of plank, upon sills resting
upon the ground, with no open space
beneath. Turrets surmount the build
ing at all the corners and angles, and
the national standard, with appropriate
emblems, is placed over each of the
main entrances. There are numerous
side entrances, each being surmounted
with trophy, showing the national
colors of the country occupying that
portion Of the building. In the vesti-
bules variegated brick and tile are in
troduced. Louvre ventilators surmount
all the avenues, and skylights the cen
trail aisles. Light, Of which there is
ample supply, comes from the north
and south sides almost entirely. There
underlie the building two miles Of
drainage pipe, the water supply and
drainage system being complete. Of
fees for the foreign commissioners are
placed along the sides Of the building,
in close proximity to the products ex-
hibited. Offices for the administration
are at the ends. The design of the
building is such that all exhibitors will
have an equally fair opportunity of ex-
hibiting their goods to advantage.
There is comparatively little choice of
location, as the light il uniformly dis
tributed, and each of the spaces devot-
ed to products is located upon one of
the main thoroughfares.

form promenades looking outward over
the groonds and inward over open gar
dens extending back to the main wall
of the building. These garden plots are
each 80 feet by SO feet, ornamented in
the center with fountains, and intended
to display statuary. The arcades are
highly ornam ented, and the balustrades
of them and of the approaching stair
cases are also designed for statuary.
The walls of the east and west sides of
the structure display the pavilions and
the walls of the picture galleries, and
are relieved by inches designed for
statues. The frieze is richly ornament
ed, and above it the central dome
shows to great advantage. The rear or
north front of the building is of the
same general character of the main
front, but, in place of the arcade, has a
series of arched windows, twelve in
number, with the entrance in the CEN
ter. Between the paviIions is the grand
balcony, promenade 275 feet long and
40 feet wide, elevated 40 feet above the
ground, and overlooking to the north
ward the beautiful grounds of the park,

short distance northward Of, the main
building, and is in commanding posi-
ton, looking southwark across the

A dome, rising $50 feet above ground,
surmounts the center, capped by a CO.
lossal ball, from which rises the figure
Of Columbia. The main front of this
building looks southwark, displaying a
main entrance in the centre, consisting
of three enormous arched doOrways, a
pavilion on each end, and two arcades
connecting the pavilions with the cen
ter The entrance is 20 feet wide, to
which there is rise of Is steps. Each
of the huge doorways is 40 feet high
and Is feet wide, opening into a hall.
Between the arches of the doorways are
clusters Of columns, terminating in en-
blematic designs illustrative of science
and art The doors are of iron, reliev-
ed by bronze panels, displaying the
coats of arms Of the states and terrific
ries. The United States coat of arms is
in the center Of the main frieze. The
dome is of glass and iron, Of unique de-
sign. While Columbia rises at the top.
a colossal figure stands at each corner
of the base of the dome, typifying the
four quarters Of the globe.
In each pavilion there is a large win
dow, ~ feet by 81 feet. There are
altogether eight of these windows, used
for the display of stained glass glass

grand hall 2S7 feet long and IS feet
wide, capable Of accommodating 5000
persons. This is nearly twice the di-
mansions of the largest hall in the
United States. From the galleries
doorways open into two smaller CALLER
les, SO feet long and % feet wide. These
open north and south into private
apartments connecting with the pavil-
ion rooms, and forming two side CALLER
les 210 feet long. Along the whole
length of the north side of the main
galleries and central hall extends cor
ridor II feet wide, opening on its north
line into series of private rooms, % in
number, designed for studios and small
er exhibition rooms. All the galleries
and the central hall are lighted from
above, the pavilions and studios from
the sides. The pavilions and central
hall are designed especially for the ex-
hibition of sculpture. The fine build
ing gives $4,000 square feet of wall
space for paintings, and 10000 square
feet of floor space for statues, etc. The
skylights throughout are double, the up
per being of clear glass and the under
of ground glass.
Great as is the space afforded in the
Memorial Hall, the applications from
American and foreign artists have
proved so greatly in excess Of its capac-
ity as to require the erection of a much
more spacious building. This, though
only of brick, harmonizes architecture
ally with the Memorial Hall, and is to
be permanent. 1t stands just i'll the
rear of the original art gallery, and
communicates with it. 1t affords co.
900 square feet of wall space availa BILE
for paintings, and contains "a galleries,

south 464 feet wide. The larger por-
ton is one story high, the interior height
being 20 feet, and the cornice on the
outside 48 feet from the ground. At
the center of the longer sides are pro-
jections 416 feet in length, and on the
ends of the building projections PIG
feet in length In these, which are In
the centre of the four sides, are located
the main entrances, which are provided
with arcades upon the ground floor, and
central facades 90 feet high. The east
entrance forms the principal approach
for carriages, visitors alighting at the
doors of the building under cover of tho
arcade. The south entrance is the
principal approach from railway cars.

centre has been raised above the sur
rounding portion, and four towers As
feet square, rising to 120 feet high, are
introduced into the corners of this ele-
waited roof. This gives ventilation as
well as ornament. The main building
has ,00S square feet of surface, or
nearly 217 acres. It's ground plan shows
central avenue 100 feet in width and

tween the central and side avenues are
aisles 4S feet wide, and on the outer
sides of the building smaller aisles, 24
feet width. To break the great length
of the roof lines three transepts have
been introduced, of the same widths
and in the same relative positions to
each other as the longitudinal avenues.
These cross the building, and are 416
feet in length. The intersections of
these various avenues make at the CEN
ter of the building nine spaces, free
from supports, which are from 100 to
120 feet square, and which aggregate
4l6 feet square. The general elevation
of the roofs of all these avenues varies
from 45 feet to 20 feet.
The building rests upon the ground,
the land having been thoroughly graded
and prepared. The foundations consist
of piers of masonry, the superstructure
being composed of wrought iron col

The Ce ntennial Hymn.

The following are the words OF the
Centennial Hymn, sung by the chorus
of nine hundred voices:
Our fathers Cod from out whose band
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet to-day, united, free,
And loyal to our land and Thee,
TO thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening one.
Here where of old, by Thy design,
The fathers spake that word of Thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
or rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time from all
The zones Of earth our guests we call.
Be with W. while the New World greets
The Old World, thronging all its streets,
Unwilling all the triumphs won
By art or toll beneath the sun;
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship of hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furled
The war flags of gathered world,
Beneath our Western skies fulfill
The Orients mission of good will,
And, frcighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonauts of peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or sold
oh! make Thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure, in justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of thy righteous law,
And, cast in some diviner mold
Let the new cycle shame the old

Pennsylvania and city of Philadelphia.

for its prophetic inscription. Original
ly imported from England in 1852, but
cracked in its first ringing, it was recast
in Philadelphia, and the inscription
Proclaim liberty throughout the land,
and to all the people thereof was
placed upon it. This was more than

of the colonies was dreamed of; yet,
