will accomm odate tie officers of the bu-
reanx OF admissions and concessions and
also for the Midwinter Fair guards.
On the main floor there is to be large
auditorium, with a gallery and stage, at
the side of which are twelve boxes. This
auditorium will seat $500 people on the
main floor. which will be level and can be
used as ballroom If necessary. The gal
lery will seat 5000 people. and will slope so
as to enable every one to have a good view
of the stage.
The accommodations for the guards will
include drilIro0m and dormitories to &C
commodate 80 hunks.
The section devoted to the Bureau of
Admissions will have large general Of
fee connecting with fire-proof vault, sew
eral smaller Offices aud the front general
pOstoffice 25X50 feet. This bureau will be
10 the left of the main entrance, the right
being given up to the Bureau of Conces-
sions, which will be laid out similarly to
that of admissions.
AS TO entrances and the question of light
the main auditorium will be approached
by flight of steps 125 feet wide from the
front, while in all there will be four flights
OF steps for tngress and egress. Mullioned
windows will give side light and the roof
will be provided with q skylight. The
stage will have a large parlor for ladies

severe in the style of early colonial Span

be provided with benches and the first floor
with chairs which may be removed for
dancing.
The main features of the exterior will be

There will be meeting of the Swiss this
evening to take action In regard to a build
ing to represent their interests at the fair.
Their exhibit will be housed in the Swiss
Alp house. designs for which have already
been accepted. and will consist chiefly of
dairy produce, carving, clocks, etc.
+. A. Haber, chief of the Department of
Agriculture and Horticulture, has under
way very comprehensive plans for the
care of fruit and other products which will
be placed in cold storage. Exhibitors will
have to replace their goods tour or five
times during the exposition. as fruit packed
in cold storage will last about as long when
taken out as it would naturally have done
had it not been stored.
In the arrangement Of the Miners ex-
hibit. which is located in the Mechanic
Arts building. and which will occnpy
10000 square feet OF space. the idea most
prominent has been to mass the ores and
minerals in one group as far as possible
This has never been attempted before,
and will produce lasting impression on
visitors regarding the enormous value of
this industry. Although CALIFORNIA; ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair produced great
sensation, still the scattering of the dis
play did not produce the desired impress
sion, and some States with less than half
of our mineral wealth attracted more at
tentioD than we did because of the con-
centration Of their mineral exhibit in one
place.
The object of the Miners Association is
to take advantage of this fact and to make
combined display and receive uniform ac-
ton from all the counties in the State. OF
course, the greatest interest in the mining
display will be in the gold product, but all
the mineral industries will be represented.
There will be building stones, marble,
quicksilver, borax, chrome, coal. asphalt,

Colonel HaffOrd's Arizona Indian mu-
scum has been located south of the Ad-

space 24x50 feet. The structure for this
exhibit will consist of building erected

The London Mirror Maze has been To-
Gated near the Santa Barbara Amphibia

of the interior arrangement of the build
ing, which consists of labyrinth built of
mirrors, in which people will be constantly
losing their way, and coming out at unex-
pected points ana producing general mer-
