In compliance with requirement the
city of New Orleans, in its corporate ca
pacity, has donated the use of its princi-
pie park, containing 27 acres and has
appropriated 100000, markings subscrip-
ton equivalent to $5OO,OOO. The plans OF
the management are in strict conformity

The main building for this exposition
covers u acres; 25O,OD feet OF space has
been reserved in the center of the build
ing for foreign governments and an equal

The applications for space from foreign
and United States exhibitors, eight
months before the opening of the cN-
position, called forever 100000 feet OF cN-
hibiting space, and although the EXPOSE
ton building is the largest ever erected.
its size may be inadequate to the de-
mand.
The horticultural hall is said TO he the
largest conservatory ever built. 1t is
800 feet in length, l0i feet in the center,

80 feet high. 1t contains cold

throughout the central spaces.

The railroads have responded to the
request for low rates for freight and

ner. .

road have agreed to Il maximum rate on
passengers Of l cent per mile, and eX-
cursion rates will frequently be as low
as y and x of Il cent per mile. The
