The only prominent features which the pres
snt state Of the work DO not disclose are the
outer dome, which will rise % fest above the
present framework, and the four semicircular
Conservatives, which will fill the corners
made by the union of the four wings. The
structure is 400 feet long in all directions, aud
the fOOr area exceeds that of any building on
the coast The cost of the Pavilion was
placed at $50, 900, including plumbing, which
the Directory reserved TO itself. 1t is be-
lieVed that the structure will cost the con.

leading roles, filed them in a manner testify
