ittielfitis - designed: It is to be a
wooden afttfitlitliVitre, constructed ,
solely with a View . it) leemfort and
Convenience; and, these once secured,'
thei objects, of the design' are fulfilled.
It is not uufrequently 'a ;puzzling
question how to`design a large
„tem
porary structure, which shall be' able
to accommodate
,4onveniently
safely an itritnense number - of people.
The last exhibition building in Lon
don was BiMply a huge and unsightly
'Mountain , of brick, surmounted by a
more unsightly dome. It served the_
purpose, however, far which it W 9.3,
_meant,. giving accommOilatioo to
ger piles of nratififietures than . ever
were 6116k:tel.] in'One building - be.fbre.
So'it ig"Writh this which is now Tieingbuitt. It is to be one Of ' i the' largest
structures ever raised itit,Olfie'ago, and
it will provide ample ue - comyhodation
for the largest number Of persons ev
er assembled under one 'roof in this
city.
The building will be of gigantic
proportions, meek/ring 628 feet in
eircumference and 200 feet in diame
ter, and planned to afford arepleroom
for . 15,000 people. Externally there
will be little to attract, the eye.—The
national colors displayed in prelusion
from numerous staffs rising around
the roof will be the only ornament,
visible. The immense size of the
structure and its perfect proportions
in every detail will, however, exeite
-universal amazement. E .ln'''lSet it will
be tt mutter of-just surprise that, the
arrangements for the accommodatiem
of the countless tb rots of the peo
ple who will attend the forth-coming
convention should have been'reade so
adequate and satisfactory. At the
same time the Democratic people of
'Chicago, by *hese liberality thiti
mammoth structure is to be erected,
will have the pride arid pleasure, of
knowing that this undertaking rivals
by far anything of' tbe kind ever be
fore attempted.
The inclosure of the amphitheater
will,hee twenty-two feet high. The
roof at RS highest or eentral point
will be elevated thirty-seven feet, a

twenty-eight feet. The - roof is, here,

tersburg and 'Weldon road requires a
developement of our lines several
miles to the left. To tap the Peters;

ent impracticable, and propably it
will be impossible to do more than
'make it the object of visitations from

is one of the meanest, dirtiest, and
most contemptible acts recently en

is in keeping with their acts. Some
