THE WORLDS EXPOSITION.

In another column will be found
what seems to be rather extrava-
giant announcement. That of the
holding of a Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, to
open at New Orleans, December
LIST OF tho present year, and con-
tinuing for the period of six mont S.
The world is known to be very
fair sized body. having good
many countries and good many
people. An Exposition covering it
would be huge undertaking. Yet
from what we have learned of the
Worlds Exposition. it will come
nearer justitying its designation
than even its projectors could have
anticipated.
The reports of its progress. of its
development, of tho popular. al
most universal interest it is excit-
ing, of the movements of the peo-
pie, States. even all the Territories,
and of foreign countries. in their
preparations for representation in
it, are simply wonderful. No other
enterprise of the kind ever launch
ed has been received with the same
favor and enthusiasm. Even the
great Centennial Exposition Of
1876 is already overshadowed by il
in the magnitude it has obtained,
and the character and range of ex-
hibits already secured.
This Exposition is held by virtue
of an act of Congress, under the
auspices of the General Govern.
ment. (Which has appropriated
81. 100000 for its purposes the
National Cotton Planters Associa-
ton, and the City of New Orleans
Appropriations for its benefit have
been made by the principal States
Ct the Union, by numerous counties
and cities, and by several foreign
countries.
The main building, now about
finished, Is the largest structure
ever erected, covering 33 acres oi
space under one roof. The Horti
cultural Hall, also nearly com
pleted. ia the largest building eve.
erected for the purpose, being 60J
feet long by 19t i'll width. In the
center tower it is arranged to show
~. 600 p ates OF :ra t. The Govern.
Building will Of itself be much
larger than the majority OF wha!
are termed great exposition build
inss, it being $50 feet long by 56j
feet IN width. This building will
contain the Government and State
exhibits. Many other structures
will be erected This Exposition
gives every promise of being the
greatest and srandest ever held.
