Tbe committee also reported that by the ordinance tbe board la restricted to advertise in two Danera only, and those In Philadelphia. In order that the architects throughout this onnty should be reaohed, the oommlttee de cided to lasne oironlars, which are to be for warded to these gentlemen. With regard to the plana for the new buildings, thla clroular aays: 'A plan of Independence Square, show ing tne Dimensions ana grades or tne same stud tbe alee and position of Independence Hall, la hereto annexed. AU tbe buildings now on the Square are to be removed, except Inde ttendence Hall, which will remain Insulated and must not be disturbed.

Theinterlor walls of the superstruc ture are to be composed of brick, and the walls f the cellar of rubble stone. Strict attention la to ba paid to light, heating, ventilation, and acoousucs." Mr. Pase stated that the time for the recen Won of the proposals' was at a season during which aenllemen were absent from the city. He therefore moved that the date for proposals he extended to August 31, and that the award be made on or before Ujtooer 1. Tola being seconded, was seretd to. Mr. Kneats said that the ordinance did not prohibit the advertisement of the Board In papers of other cities, and moved that It be Inserted In a New York and Boston newspaper, Mr. Walters stated that even in such an event the circular would have to be sent to tbe architects. BOolonel Page gave as his opinion that the Board could publish tbe advertisement In other cities, as the oidlnunne slated that the advertisement should be published In at least Iwo Fhlladelnhla tmoois. Mr. Walters thought the ordinance should be adhered to. Colonel Page said that the publlo mind had Been considerably exerciseu.Bome nine since, In awarding the contract for the erection of a team engine In West 1'hlladelnhla. and be now bought that It would be better to adhere to tbe strlot letter of the ordinance, and confine the advertising to Philadelphia newspapers, and How the circulars, which would answer all the purposes sought for by the Board, to be sent anroao. Mr. Kneass then withdrew bis motion. Mr. Walters then moved that the Board ad Inurn, subject to a call of the Committee on Ar chitecture and Plans, which was adopted. The Exposition To-dat. If there were any necessity for It, we would say a word by way of Inducing all our readers to do as we did our selves this morning step Into Mr. John Wana maker's new clothing establishment on Oaes nnt street to-day and see the ''exposition." But the building has been thronged all the morning, and every man who was there Is ending the other members of his firm and the , public generally, and lor once the necessity of newspaper comment Is done away with. No one is disappointed, for the buildings, the stock of goods, the force of employes, and all the ap point menu of tbe establishment, are all that was promised, and more too. Tne satisfaction expressed on all sides Is full of enoonragement, and any who may have had doubts of the sue ess of this enterprise may banish them forth. wltb, tot the thing is sure to go. The ladies manifest great Interest In the department of boys' clolhlne, and ladies and gentlemen alike leave tbe "exposition" deter mined to establish themselves as customers at the new Chesnnt street clothing house. Collkctob Moorb Takes His Seat. Hon. Henry D. Moore, who haa been recently con firmed as the Collector of the port of Philadel phia, thla morning assumed the duties of his position.

In the afternoons, and then only at his office. The only changes thus far made are In the ap pointment of the two deputies and the cashier. O. i.
