 /^HE MAIN BUILDING is the larg-est ever erected. It is 1,378 feet Iona: by 903 feet wide, vvithouL courts, and has a continuous 
 roof composed largely of glass so arranged as to afford an abundance of light without subjecting the interior to the direct 
 rays of the sun. Within, the view is unobstructed. From one side or corner of the building to its o])posite, th ; intei io - 
 showing all the phases of industrial activity is seen. There are no partitions, and the lofty pillars, wide apart, supporting the 
 roof structure, present no impediment to one’s vision, but only serve to assist the eye in measuring the vast expanse. The 
 interior is surrounded by wide and spacious galleries, twenty-three feet high, which are reached by twenty elevators having the 
 most approved safety appliancf s, and by convenient stairways. 
 
 The machinery department occupies a space of 1,378 feet long by 300 feet wide, within the main building, and hasanexten- 
 tension added in iron 350 feet long and 150 feet wide for heavy machinery, described under the heading of Factories and Mills. 
 From the galleries overlooking more than two miles of shafting can be seen driving every known character of machinery. 
 
 Music Hall, with a seating cajiacity, in commodious chairs, for 1 1,000 people, a platform capacity for 600 musicians and 
 a mammoth organ built to order for the Exposition occupies the centre of the interior. 
 
 The main building will contain general exhibits. It is situated (as will be seen by the park plan published herewith) about 
 m the centre of the grounds.
