The II C!ii iei7 Itil llitif
The Machinery bmidiu r. which is
526 by 1L'4 feet, is a hapoy cjmbiuuciou
of solidity and fore-. It i3 a structura
of the Roman-Doric: order. It is the
first building that greets the visitor as
he enters the grounds,. It -is situated
on a terrace, and in order that it may
be pleasant and cool on warm days the
boilers and great engines are situate!
in a power house separate from the
main building, The roof is high and
the interior i3 commodious. : Shade
trees grow -on three sides, and the
powerhouse is almost hidden from view
in the foliage. The arrangement of
the floor leads to three main entrances,
marked bydmposiug porticoes, with six
columns each, crowned by gables sculp
tured in high relief in appropriate de
signs. It i3 63 feet to the top of the
roof. The north end of the structure
borders on the lake.
Transportation Hull din?.
Between the Commerce and Agri
cultural buildings, west of the Parthe
non, is the Transportation building. On
one side of it lies Like Watauga, and
on the other is a long, shady avenue.
The dimensions f this building are 400
by 120 feet. Railroad tracks have been
laid through it, with entrances from
the north for engines and trains. The
remainder of the fljor space is divided
into blocks of different; sizes for the re
ception of smaller vehicles and other,
displaysi Simplicity is the feature of
the design selected for the Transporta
tion building. A most pleasing effect
has been obtained without the use of
a single column, merely in the group-)
ing of the masses ana proper propor-5
tioning. Ail structural ornamentation
is in the most refined classical style,
brought into strong relief by the wall
service, to which it lends beauty in
charm in return.
The Agricultural Huihliu;.
I One of the finest buildings on the
grounds is the Agricultural building,
on a sloping elevation north of Lake
The Nejrro liutidiiiff.
Another building that deserves more'
than passing mention is the Negro
building,, whiGh is situated on the east
side of Lake Watauga. Ic is a massive
and imposing structure, ''- ponstructe i
with a view of accom no.iating th? vast
variety of. exhibits which chg uagrorace
will contribute. Its contents, showing
specimens of work done by the negro in
all the walks of life, will tell a great
story of moral and mental progress in
the last 50 years. The uejroe? of the
south have the greatest opportunity
ever offered them to libit the history
, of the pist an i tuS hpn aul poiiibili
ties ot t.ie future.

will be demonstrated by exhibition or
specimens of work by pupils on wall

f The interest taken in this department
by school superintendents aud teachers
throughout the state- indicates that, J
aside from the various amusemeut fea
tures, the Children's building will be
one of the most' popular and instructive
attractions of the exposition. The
largest .roo-v will be devoted to exer
cises for children. Toys aud unique ar
ticles from all nations wiil form an
other interesting exhibit, and, in fact,
everything calculated to amuse, please
and instruct children and to encourage
and stimulate study aud advancement
will ba found iu its proper place. In the
rear of the building will b3 a b dutiful
grassy and well shaded plot, in which
deer and other pet auimals wid have a
share in the amusement of th?ir little
friends, and in front'there will be a tall
tower, with silver chimss in the belfry,
bought also with money raised by the
chifdreu.

feet at the center, and with six smaller
domes, appropriately placed, the pro
portions appear esp3cially pleasing.
The style of architecture is renaissance,
and the dimensions are 535 by 175 feet.
The principal doors, front aud rear, are
under arch effects, .while the end and
entrances pass through portico3s. Glass

on tne exhibits will ba strong and thor
oughly diffused. ' The staff on the exte
rior lends a charm and brilliancy to
the design that would not otherwise,
have baen secured, and the oruatnanta
tion and statuary, especially over the
south door, are handsome. .
.The state of Tennessee will place its
exhibit under the magnificent dome, a

is strikingly decorated. The effects,
wrought with grains, are wonderful.

The Electricity Haildiux.
While many of the building suggest
in architecture the arto:" ancient Grease,
the Electricity building is modeled after
the tower of Babel, a clever idea cer
tainly. This will prove oue of the im
posing features of the exposition, for
the spiral edifice will be brilliantly illu
minated at night with new electrical
devices. .
