PLANS FOR A CASINO AND PIER.
Venice to Be Reproduced on a Small
Scale in Lake MICHIGAN.

Venice to Be Reproduced on a Small
Scale in Lake Michigan.
One of the novel buildings at the
Exposition will be the Casino and pier.
The Casino, which will stand out in
the lake !, 1000 feet from the shore, is
intended to reproduce Venice on a
small scale in Lake Michigan. Burling
& Whitehouse of Chicago, have com
pleted the design for this structure of
Venetian order.
The Casino will be built on piles and
connected with the shore by a pier 50
feet wide. The base dimensions of the
Casino will be 1SOX4OO feet. The build
ing will consist of nine pavilliOns, two
stories in height, and, with the eXCep-
ton of the central one, 50 feet above
the surface of the water. The center
pavilion will be $50 feet high. There
will be communication between the
nine paviliOns both by gOndOlas and
bridges. Completely surrounded by
water this structure with it's fleet Of
boats and numerous waterways, is eX-
pected to have a decidedly Venetian
flavor. Surrounding the central pavil-
ion will run a gallery fifty-siX feet
wide. The pier connecting the Casino
with the shore will form q broad prone
made. At the west end of the pier will
stand the thirteen columns designed
by Sculptor st. Gaudens, to represent
the thirteen original States. In front
of the Casino Will he aharbor for small
pleasure crafts. At night this harbor
will be lighted by i~ncandescent lamps
sunk beneath the surface Of the water
on floats. The material of the Casino
will be of wood and the walls will be
covered with staff. 4 striking cOmbi-
nation Ofhigh colOrings will be effected.
The contract for the pier and Casino
has been let.
