Most Magnificent Accommodations Ever
Seen at an Exposition.
Ample provision will be made at the
Columbian exposition for the fullest set
ting forth of the splendid live stock in
terests of the United States. w. [.
Buchanan, chief of the department Of
agriculture for the fair, says of the
buildings for live stock:
One of the most desirable and inter
esting features of the exposition will be
the proposed live stock and agricultural
assembly hall, the erection of which is
now assured. This building will prob
ably connect machinery hall with the
agricultural building, fronting on the
main court of the exposition grounds,
and will be conveniently near one of the
stations of the elevated railroad. It will
be a very handsome building and will
undoubtedly be the common meeting
point for all persons interested in live
stock and agricultural pursuits.
On the first floor, near the main en-
trance of the building, will be located a
bureau of information, in charge of at
PENDANTS, who will furnish visitors with
all necessary information in regard to
the assembly hall and the main agricult-
ural building, as we'll as other features
Of the exposition. The first floor will
also contain suitable committee and
other rooms for the different live stock
associations of every character, where
such associations a NEST and have
their secretaries in constant attendance,
thus affording this important industry
ample headquarters near the live stock
exhibit and the agricultural buildings.
On this floor there will also be large
and handsomely equipped waiting rooms,
with tireplaces for ladies, lounging rooms
for gentlemen and handsome toilet facili-
ties. Broad stairways will lead from
the first floor in the assembly room,
which will have a seating capacity of
about 1900. This assembly room will
furnish facilities for lectures, which will
be delivered by gentlemen eminent in
their special fields Of work, embracing
every interest connected with live stock,
agriculture and its allied industries.
When IL considers that in this room
almost daily there will be lectures de
livered, papers read and discussions had,
conducted by eminent specialists from
all parts of the world, the Importance of
such a building for educational purposes
is apparent. Taken in connection with
the exhibits, this feature will make that
part of the exposition devoted to live
stock, agriculture and horticulture a
complete gathering together Of all that
an advanced civilization is capable Of
producing. In the assembly room the
most approved theories will be advanced
and explained.
The entire second floor of the assem-
bly, building is given up to committee
rooms, and rooms for headquarters for
each and all of the different farmers or
CARNATIONS in existence in this country.
1t will furnish a definite and pleasant
home for all such organizations during
the entire time of the exposition, where
each may have its secretary or other Of
fetal constantly in attendance to furnish
information and transact other business,
and where the members can hold such
consultations as they may desire.
Such a building was never erected at
any exposition, and its construction here
will show the board of directors purpose
of affording every desirable facility that
they can furnish to aid the great live
stock and agricultural interests of the
country.
