THE CROWD GROWING BTIMj LARGER
AXD M(TrE APPRECIATIVE THE
STATE BUILDIXOS HOW DIFFER
ENT STATES HAVE I'ROVIPED FOR
THE COMFORT ASti CONVENIENCE
OB' THEIR CITIZENS THE KNIOnTS
TEMPLAR RE-t.NION.
From our Rrgiilnr Corresroiidcnt.l
Pliilmlclphia, June Gtli, !S76.
One very plengftnt feature on the Exhibi
tion Grounds is the buildings ercclcl by
the different States for (lib oe'cQthmodation
ami convenience of their homo visitors.
These buildings do not ns a rule contain
anything in the way of exhibits, but are
merely ' State headquarters," ivbero citi
zens of States mny find a comfortable place
to test, write and visit in which they can
feel perfectly i.t liotnc, because it is, col
lectively, their Own. The buildings are
nearly all sitonterl on Slate Avenilo, in (he
northern section of the grounds, which is
the highest part cf the inclos'.ire and over
looks the main exhibition structures. A
register is kept iti each headquarter, where
in visitdrs from that Stuto are asked to
write their name?, and flics Cf the loctd
newspapers arB placed at their disposal iu
the ptlH'drs and reading robrYs. The latter
feature is not very complete as yet; and I
would respectfully call the attention of locnl
ncwsp.p!!is in yout State to that fact. The
publishers will serve a much belltr purpose
nnd accommodate more of their home
people by furnishing their papers for the
State headquarters than by aidiugGeo. 1'
Rowell & Co. in a big advertisement of
that P.rW.
The Pennsylvania building is this largest
and is loented within a stone's throw of
Machinery Hall, facing the lake. It is
10TjxU5 feet and of Gothic architecture,
On citlicr side ot the lmnu entrance are
two towers fiaakiui a larger one, while
a neat porch extends around tt portion o
each of tho four sid'js of the building. The
main tull-ahce leads into a large hall about
sixty feet long by forty wide, aud high in
proportion, the roof being formed t)f riu
nitrous graceful arches. Ths walla have
been properly painted nnd ornamented,
and il is proposed on them shall be hung
the portraits of till tho Governors of the
Ktnte, from thb time of Pctih to the pres.
cut. On cither side of the hall arc two
rooifis, each about twenty feel square. The
first of thbse on the right is intended fur
the tise bf citizens of tile !?ta(c, wilh nu
adjoining room fitted up in elegant style
ns ft ladies' parlor. The carpet is llrus
scls and the furniture of Walnut, covered
vVith Uiaroori rep. 'In the opposite side,
the first room is intended ns a committee
room, and the furniture is finished iu red.
The Governor's room adjoins it on the
west, nnd is fitted up in fine style, tho fur
niture being finished in blue. Each apart
ment has connected wilh il retiring rcoms,
nnd every convenience is arranged for those
who shall frequent the building. The
ttl co.'t of the buildlhs nnd furniture
was ?17.000. It is in charge of A. C.
Mullin, Secretary of the 13:tird of Mauag.
ers and General Superintendent, Who is
issiste.l by Lcivis G. Dull, Assistant Super
iulehdsrit, and a messenger ahd janitor.
Hon Morton JIc'Michilel is President of
the Hoard of Manngers, nnd ex-Governor
Curlin Vice-President. Jt U intended
soon to have n formal opening, when mem
bvs of tho legislature hud other officials
will be invited to enliven the occasion.
New York lifts really the most elegnnt
Stale building on the grounds; though it is
not s i large as Unit of Pennsylvania, nor
half so costly. Thero is really a striking
contrast in the Iwo buildings, when the
cost of each is taken into consideration.
Tho total coBt of the New Yb'rk structure
is put down at $ 8(X(I, acd yet the furniture,
finish and style Of tho whole thing would
lead one to estimate its cost above Pennsyl
vania's $17,000 building. It is two stories
high, trith elant lndlei' parlors tin the
second floor, furnished superbly, and hav.
ing two rooms for the use of guests. On
the walls are large crayon portraits of
William Cullen lliyuut nnd Gerret Smith.
In the Governor's room is a similar and
very fine portrait of Governor Til Jen. The
building has a comfortable homelike air,
and is withal both thowy and convenient,
Tt is built on the square-box plan, with
ample piazra room. It is under the man
agement of the New York commissioners,
headed by Mr Frank Leslie aDd Jackson
Schultz.
One of the most imposing of the Slate
groitp is that of Ohio, btiilt of dressed
stone from the quarries of the Htile, and
therefore cf a more substantial character
than is usual among these essentially tem
porary buildings. T6' the rear of it is
erected a large hall which Trill serve as
a place for meetings bf County and State
organizations that may desire to use it
during the progress of the Exhibition. The
stone for this structure was contributed from
twenty-eight difl'erent quarries, nnd have
been put into' tho walls both dressed and un
dressed, and so arranged as to displuy the
different colors and tarities. The top por
tion of tho front is of a very fine specimen
tf dressed fund s'one from Dayton aud
some handsome window sills aud cornice
como from llerea. The interior of the
building is cool and aiiy, being comfortably
finished and withal a very attractive place
for Ohio people to reudesvouz while on the
grounds. Something over $7000 was ex
pended in its construction. F. W. Green,
Esq., is in Charge afld will cheerfully show
Obiosn's every attention. Governor Hayes
is announced for a reception here 6a th
4th of July.

Illinois has one of the neatest and most
attractive white frame collages within the

Wisconsin has anotlnr cosy little collage

'Badgers" who happen in. The State ap
propriated $20,000 in all, the remaining
$11,000 having been used in presenting

New Jersey's building shoots up the
sharp top ofono of its Dutch towers square
ly above all the other buildings that front
on Belmont avenue; aud its red tiles are
among tho first things noticed by one who
cnteisthe Belmont gate. The building i8:
on tho othct ei lib of the road, separated in
a measure from the group of State build
ings. Tlia old Holland house architecture
in which tlie building is fashioned is thought
to bo suggestive of a State containing so'
many descendents of the Hutch. New
Jersey was the first and probably the most
liberal contributor to tha Centennial Ex
hibition outside of Pennsylvania. Cou
nnuticut is distinguished for her old-fash"
ioncd cottage, evidently planned with much
care atld regard for ihe supposed character
of the State. Indeed it is cicntioned as u
fact to tie noted that the general design was1
mado by Honald (J. Mitchell) better kuown
as Ik. Marvbl, author of "Reveries of d
Bachelor The Massachusetts artist who
first painted that Slate's house tho color of
pig's liver has come iu for a good htorc of
criticism. It has been recently repainted.
The orchiicclure is indescribable, but tho
building does Hot on the tfholc make a baii
showing in tlie Slate group. It is Urge as
compared with the other buildings, aud
Btands out well from all points of view.
The Mississippi building is quite tasteful
in the rusli: style, 40 x 30 feet in size. It
is striking because of Its elaborate decora- ,
tion with thb luxuriant rilo'sses aud ever
greens of the Slate. Mithigan has a struct
ure dboilt like tho other Western State
buildings nearly completed. Kansas and
Colorado occtipy together a large building
132 x 13'2 iri the form of across, andsur
mounted by a cross. It is nf w about ready
but has not been formally opened. A large
portion df the interior will be devoted to the
exhibition o't drficle's illustrating their re
sources. In a future letter, though pcrhap.i
not the next one, I shall undertake to tclt
what the States have displayed iu the Ex
hibition buildings. This letter is not what
would be classed with the rdcy sort, but it
contains m'atterof inlcrcdt to your readers.
The tit J is fall of peoplo, and for two or
three days past il lids seemed more like the
opening day. Much of this influx is due to'
the Knights Templar re-unio'ri, but a great
deal of it comes from the growing attend
ance tit the Exhibition, the beauties and
wefndcr3 of which are being daily more ap
preciated; Marty gay Sir Knights, with
their' ladies, have seen the great world's'
fair this week, and Thursday morning the
great parade took pluco. It was one of
the' finest ever witnessed. Over 13,000
Knights were eipeeted lo be in line, but
the actual turnout did nbt reach that num
ber. The re-union is recorded as one of
the graudest events in the history of the'
order.
