FEATURES OF THE BUILDING.

The central feature OF the building is grace

architect, r. W. Gibson, says:
The principal entrance is put at the hrst-hoor
level so that all public museum nails are withln
ono hipht of stairs up and one down Ihls is
managed by forming terrace along lne HiHh
front of the building, reached by an lncine APP
nroach and raised at the centre nan the helsh.

Sovn a little. Thus the main floor is reached
without conscious climbing, while the basement
preserves its proper height OF story
The lecture-hal will seat 500 persons Ths
"a AT the intersection OF the wings IN the pase-
ment where II will be nearest 10 the railway
station and driveway This room mas SIX large
exits to the open air direct
The first and second stories will be devoted to
museum purposes, and have each an area OF
about 10 900 square feet. AT the main entrance
over the central door is the coat OF arms OF the
city of New-York, and on either side are the
seals of the United States and the State Of New
York The hall into which this door leads is
large and imposing, and from this one enters
the great rooms which will be devoted to eco

breaking cutting or destroying growing Things
and the woodman-spare -that-tree prayer need
never to be directed toward the managers OF the
gardens.
GROWING SCREEN.
One of the first steps taken by the managers
of the gardens was to lay out and plant border
or screen around the grounds. This is from forty
to eighty feet wide. and has double purpose.
1t will make a handsome and appropriate
screen, shutting out the surrounding neghbor-
hood and will serve also as reserve for the
regular plantations The border will contain
specimens Of all varieties of shrubs and trees.
and when specimens in the regular collection be-
come injured or die, new ones may be substi-
tuted from the border. This screen is laid out
in short blocks and numbered, and every plant
has a place on a card catalogue. BY this ar
rangement each may be located as easily ~ a
book in library. This same method applies to
very growing thing in the gardens. Broad vista
lines will be left in the screen at important
points in the gardens. There are several points
/ along the edge Of the gardens where the screen
is already thick. but it will take years to make
1t a wall between everyday outside and the
picturesque gardens.
The features Of the place aside from its natural
beauties will be the great museum which is
rapidly nearing coihpIetioh' 'he bIechhou"eS i''
which the foundations are complete; the herba-
ceous collection, the fruticetum and the arbore-
tum. The museum is about 3OS feet long and
30 feet wide. and has halls in each story 10 feet
wide, IS feet high and 50 feet long. Although
