MECHANICAL HALL.

This building is in frst-class condition
now, and the exhibitors are vieing with
each other iii the attractions and profu-
sion of their contributions to
the amusement and instruction of the
curious visitor. The final arrangements
seemed to be completed when the boiler at
the left of the building steamed up at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but '.Minne-
haha' still lacked the water wherewith to
complete the illusion wrought by its beau
tiful and artistically contrived surround
ings, and remained hollow mockery.
