According to instructions, we hsvc
placed the agricultural and live stock

tho park, where tho land is compsra-
lively high and well protected. For agri-
culture , main building Is to be erected,

to beauty and general effect. Realizing
the importance OF the agricultural and
livestock exhibits, it Ia the intention OF
the designers TO make these departments
interesting In plan and appearance by
all the arts at their command.
The Government will furnish Its own
building aud exhibits, among the latter y

large open campus will be left near this
point for Government use and display.
Across the inlet from the Government
exhibit viii be the buildings for the
fisheries. A building here, as beautiful
as possible in appearance, will ba erected
OF durable materials and fitted with
every arrangement and detail to carry on
the propagation, subsisting, and display
OF water animals. A plant for heating
will be supplied. About and near the
fisheries are to be small, finely designed
buildings, disposed in 4 manner not to
break up the quiet Of this expanse,
which may be used for the purposes
mentioned before when speaking of those
near tho horticultural exhibit.
The Administration Building Is to

The Machinery Hall, which will be
larger than any before built, will not
only cover machinery In the ordinary
sense, but will furnish a great central
open space spanned with wide trusses
where there will be the best chance pos

transportation exhibits. Railway tracks

In It, either on the ground floor level or
above, are to be special isolated rooms
for judges and for special societies or
committees. Here arc to be restaurant
and toilet rooms toward the canal and
toward the lake. The lighting OF the
building Is to be especially cared for, and
heating provided where necessary for
comfort or to carry on any exhibits.
The electric and mining exhibits are
to occupy each building across the
canal from the Manufactures building,
