FISHERIES BUILDING.

This cut shows the central portion
of the Fisheries building. Excluded
from the view are two smaller poly
goual buildings, connected with the
man building on either end by ar
cades. The extreme length of the
building over all is /, 100 feet, and the
width 200 feet. The building is sub
divided into three parts, to conform 10
the shape of the site. In the central
portion VIII be the general fisheries
exhibit. In one of the polygonal
buildin will be the angling exhibit,
and in the other the aquaria. The eX-
terror Of the building is Spanish-Rom-
anesque, aud Will contrast agreeably
in appearance with the classic style Of
all the other buildings.
TRANSPORTATION BUILDING.
The main building of the transport
alton exhibit measures $50 feet front
by ESQ feet deep; from this will extend
westward to Stoney Island avenue q
triangular annex covering about nine
acres and consisting of one-story
buildings "a feet wide, set side by side.
As there will be railway track every
Is feet and as all these tracks will
run east and west, these annex build
ings may be used to exhibit an entire
freight or passenger train coupled up
with its engine IL is likely that the
display of locomotive engines Will be
quite stupendous, for they will all be
placed end on to the central avenue or
nave of the main building. As there
will probably be at least l0n engines
exhibited, and placed so as TO face
each other, the perspective effect OF
the main avenue will be remarka bly,
effective. Add TO the effect of the
exhibits the architectural i'm
preston given by long
vista Of richly ornamented colon
made, and it mcy easily be imagined
that the interior Of the Transportation
building will be one Of the most i'm
pressive of the Exposition.
The exhibits to be placed in the
building viii naturally include every
thing of whatsoever name or SORT de-
voted to purposes of transportation,
and will range from a baby carriage
TO mogul engine.

! states that one of the most gratifying
results of the month of October was ia
securing the official aceeptances OF
Austro. Hungary, Cape Colony, the

ard, special commissioner 10 that
country, says Parliament will be asked
to appropriate 100000 whereas the
Mikado originally intended to ask for
but $500 900. The government Of New
South Wales. the oldest of the Aus
tralasian colonies, has appointed Z
commission of fifty-three mem Ders anC
the other colonies will probably take
similar action.
