making preparations for the com
ing meeting of the National Com.
mission. That promises to be de-
eIcdedly the most important event

prise. The plans for, and the
grouping of the main building are
to DC definitely decided upon. The

VIII require attention. The appor-
tlonment Of the buildings has pro-
ven a vexed question. However,
1t is about decided that three main
buildings will be located on the
Lake Front, viz, Art Building,
MuRic Hall and Electrical Appli
ance Building, and if possible the
great Water Palace. OF these, the
Art Building will be permanent anu
the most important. In the Music
Hall the most famous bands, or
chestras and choral socities of the
nation will hold forth. These
buildings are to be selected for
evening exhibits and entertain
ments.
1t IS also proposed to place upon
the lake shore one of "Timby's
Citadels', with revolving battery, ="
known as Timby's hemispheroid
system for coast defense. 1t would
command the attention of every
nation and decide the contest as to
what is best for harbor defense.
