According to instructions, we have
placed the agricultural and live STOCK
exhibits I'm the southwestern portion OF
the park, where the land Is compare
lively high and well protected. For agri-
culture a main building Is 10 be erected,
in size and arrangement adapted 10
every need OF this department, ana nav
ing an independent heating plant.
For live stock the buildings arc 10 Dc

| in charge. In general there will DO
housing for stock and their attendants
and hospitals for the animals. There
will be grand stands and display wings
and other buildings TO meet all proper
requirements. These buildings, while
| temporary, and therefore TO be cheaply
! erected aud more largely OF wood, VIII
| be carefully designed with due regard
/ 10 beauty and general effect. Realizing
/ the Importance of the agricultural ana
! live stock exhibits it is the intention or
| the designers to make these departments
! interesting i'm plan and appearance by
all the arts at their command.
The Government will furnish Its own
building and exhibits, among the latter
line of battle-ships fully equipped. A
! large open campus will be left near TINS
point for Government use and display.
| Across the inlet from the Government
! exhibit will be the buildings FOR the
| fisheries. building here, as beautiful
as possible in appearance, will be erected
of durable materials and fitted with
every arrangement ana detail 10 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 a manner not 70
| break up the quiet OF this expanse,
which may be used for the purposes
mentioned before when speaking OF those
near the horticultural exhibit.
The Machinery Hall, which will be
larger than any before built, will not
only cover machinery in the ordinary
sense, but will furnish n great central
open space spanned with wide trusses
where there will be the best chance pos
sibe for the display of the different
transportation exhibits. Railway tracks
are to be laid in all passages and covered
with the floors when not in use, so that
heavy machinery may be moved about at
out upon the main lines in the grounds,
so that locomotives and cars may enter
and depart without delay. Power houses
and heating plants will be made in con-
nection with this building. The main
building for manufactures is TO be ar
ranged In plan To cover many functions.
In it, either on the ground floor level or
above, are 10 be special isolated rooms
for judges and for special societies or
committees. Here are to be restaurant
and toilet rooms toward the canal and
toward the lake. The lighting of the
building is to be especially cared for, aed
heating provided where necessary for
comfort or to carry on any exhibits
This group of buildngs-namely: the
Administration, the Machinery the
| Manufactures, the Mining, and the
| Electrical-is to form a whole in design;
they are intended as mass to be i'm
pressive, as plan most convenient and
as structures to be very substantial. The
materials entering into their compost
tion will be largely iron, and masonry OF
brick and stone; though a free use will
be made of terra Gotta, wood, staff and
other materials.
The lighting OF the exhibition will be
by electricity, and much of the power TO
be supplied will be by the same means
! Displays are to be made under fountains
and waterways and possibly under the
outer lake itself. The special large
plant will be at the Machinery Building,
from which heat and power may be
transmitted to the Administration Build
ing. In other places needing steam
there will be separate plants. Gas is to
be used as little as possible and only
when demanded for set purposes Of man
ufacturing or very late lighting. An ar
rangcment will be made with the city Of
Chicago TO furnish all water required for
exposition purposes. Until it is deter
mined how much land is 10 be used on
the Lake Front and whether new land
is 10 be made there il cannot be def
nitely stated how the buildings will be
arranged. 1t is understood, however,
that buildings for what is known in the
classification as department X" and
for that portion of department l."
which is generally grouped with it will
be placed on the Lake Front, and that
I'm addition large facilities will be pro-
vided for the crowds who will make this
ground starting place for their visits to
Jackson Park.
