now in doubt of completion. En-
/ gineerS competent TO express al
opinion, say that the work of install
1 ling heavy machinery is of such a na
ture that the relative number of mer
put on the work cuts but little figure
The work OF placing the heavy pieces
has to be accomplished with the aid
/ of three large twenty-ton electric
cranes. These cranes can only work
at 3 certain rate of speed, which is not
I sufficient 10 guarantee the placing of
all the machinery exhibits before the
middle or latter part of May. The
matter of greatest concern, however,
that of having the great power plant
in readiness when President Cleve-
land is here TO 'toueh the button'
and start the whole in motion, is hap
PLY well under way. Mechanical En-
gineer Foster assures the executive
authorities that as fast as more power
Is required he will be able to supply
it, and that the complete plant will be
capable of working atits maximum of
4a,0lO horsepower on opening day,

which is to furnish nearly half the
power, is being rapidly put together,
and soon its thirty-ton cylinder will
be vibrating to the touch of 10000
horsepower force.
A large company has arrived from
Java; also the Sultan's dancing girls,
of whom there are thirty-six women
in the colony. Sixteen of these are
dancing girls loaned by the Sultan of
Solo. Great-eyed, soft-voiced eoquet-
fish little creatures, with huge silver
ornaments rivetted TO their ears-the
insignia of royalty-are the dancing
girls. These girls promise TO be the
most attractive feature of Java's eX-
hibit, and range from II to is
years of age. They will dance |
TO the accompaniment of the native |
orchestra of thirty-six gongs, drums, |
banjo-like fiddles, bells, tOm-toms and |
other strange instruments. Their |
dancing is said to be a succession of |
graceful posturingS and poises.
The new tickets of admission to the |
Exposition were distributed last week, |
and are on sale at the different down /
town hotels, music stores, etc. The
tickets are not good for admission till |
May LIST, and will be refused at the /
gates if presented before that time.
There are four series, differing in the
which are portraits respee-
lively of Columbus, Washington, Lin
coin, and an Indian. In general APP
pearance these tickets resemble the de-
signs for fractional paper currency of
greenback days. They are printed on
heavy cardboard and the scroll work
Of the engraving is intricate, TO pre-
vent counterfeiti1g.

twenty years ago this work was be-
yun, and it has been finished only a

character may be obtained when it is
that the method used in
making it requires SO stitches to the
square inch. II is done on rich silk
