The Horticultural Pavilion.

The plans submitted by Mr.. E.
f. Kysor for the new horticultural
Hall, and which have been accept
ed by the Society. contemplate a
two-story building 76 feet front by
1872 feet deep, with an annex 39x6(
feet, In which will be built a stage
and dressing rooms. The mai Il
hall will occupy the whole Of the
principal building, except small
portion at the front end for ticket
office, ,vestibule, etc. In the center ol
this a fountain Is to be placed and
the exhibits will be arranged In
the center and on the sides length
wise of the hall, leaving aisles on
each side. The second floor will
consist of q promenade gallery rum
ming around three sides of the
building and giving extensive seat
ing capacity, large space in the
center being open and giving u
full view of the apartment below.
The exterior front is to be finished
quite ornamentally in the Amer
ican rustic style of architecture,
having on each side tower
of modest proportions. The
plan contemplates at some
future time the erection
of annexes on each side, 50x50, two
stories in height, one of which will
he devoted to the purposes of q
machinery hall and the other to an
art gallery. In the angles falling
in front of these annexes, one
story apartments will be construct.
ed 40x32 feet each, which will be
employed respectively for fine
art and floral halls. The
building will be adapted not only
to the purposes of exhibition, but,
with its stage appointments, and
large seating capacity on the
ground floor and in the gallery,
will be an excellent place for large
public gatherings, concerts and
theatrical performances. The
building will be entirely of frame,
and the estimated cost of the main
part first to be built is 81 500. The
whole structure completed, accord
ing to plans, will not fall short of
$4,000.

A Short History Of Petroleum.

The L,1a6ermon's Gazette give:
the following short history of Pc
trolsum: The production of petro.
leum as an article OF trade dates
from the 2Sth of August, 1859,
when Colonel Drake, in a we'll 694
feet deep, "struck OIL" and coined
a phrase that will last as long as
the English language. From that
beginning 1t has increased to an
annual production of 14,500, 600
barrels of crude oil. The first ex-
port was in 1861, of $1,000 barrels,
valued at $1,000, 900, and the ex-
port of petroleum for the year 1877
