Scarcely will the gates of the White City at Chicago bo closed and iia streets deserted or given np to the vandals when another World's Fair will be opened to the nubile at the Golden Gate. The am- use -of the citrus and other faire on the Peet&c coast led Californians some time ago to plan a general exhibition on e, generous scale, to which the whole world of art and industry would be invited to contribute. Accordingly, what is official. Iv known as the California Midwinter International Exposition was organized. Actual work was begun last Summer, and is now being pushed with eo mach energy that it promisee to be finished by New Year's Day, the date set for the opening. The Fair will oontintte for six months, from tannery let to June 30th. The site of the exhibition is Golden Gate Park, whish, all visitors will testify, is "beautiful for situation." The park borders on the ocean and is three miles long and a half mile wide, and art and nature combined make it a pleasure ground of uncommon attractiveness. One hundred acres of the beet part of It have been given up to the exhibition, and the remainder will form au environment of great beauty. From January to June is in many respects the beat part of the year in California. It is a prolonged Springtime. The rainy season being over, bright weather prevails, with mod- erate temperature, and an almost tropical luxuriance of flowers and foliage and general vegetation. Some fifty buildings in all will adorn the exhibition grounds, of almost fie many different styles of arobiteoture. First in point of size is that devoted to manufactures and liberal arts. It is small in contrast with the huge structure of the same name at Chicago, yet its ground area measures 462x237 feet. The architecture is of Moorish type, remind- ing one of some of the old Oalifornia mis- sions. An imposing colonnade, with lofty semicircular arches supported by sleuder twin oolumns, extends along each side. At each corner is a tower, with a flower garden in its upper story, while a large roof garden encircles the great central dome. The walls when finished will be a creamy white, and the tiled roof of a glowing red. Bronze and copper rod will he freely used within for decorative effect. The building is of one story, and a broad gay ilex extends all round it in. side. The Mechanical Arts Building is 400x 200 feet in size, and is of Indian architec• tare, though it is difficult tc see in it the least resemblance to the Tnj Mahal, to which solus enthneiastio admirers have likened it. The form of its domes and towers suggest the temples of the East, however, and so dos the lavish wealth of ornamental details. The building will contain steam engiuee of 3,000 110180 - power, for driving the machinery and supplying power for ele0trin lighting. A third large building, measuring 400 by 200 feet, is devoted to agriculture and horticulture. Itis Romanesque in de- sign, and is crowned with a huge dome, more than 100 feat in diameter. Out- side, encircling the base of the dome, is to be a garden, and that portion of the dome which forms the background of the plants and flowers will be adorned with life sized figures in relief, not of olaseic type, but modelled after Kate Greene - way's quaint characters. There is also a tower, built of redwood, eighty feet high. The gem of the whole oollectiou is the Fite arts Building, a brink structure, 120 by GO feet in size. I1 was inteuded to make it a model of pure Egyptian architecture, and the approaches to it are appropriately flanked by ephinxee. All its features are, indeed, Egyptian, but they are biassed together in a rather startling manner, Fee example, the roof, directly above the principal en• trance, is surmounted by a huge pyre. mid. The columns and mural deceit• tione are all of pure Egyptian type, how. ever, and the some idea is faithfully parried out in the apartments within. The Administration Building some- what resembles, in general form, that at Chicago. It ie Drowned with a lofty dome resting on an octagonal base, and the whole etrueture ie exceedingly or. nate. Numerous other, smaller buildinge will be scattered about the grounds, and in what is balled Concert Volley, a lofty tower will be erected. This is to be 2112 feet in height, extremely graceful in its lines and suitel to elaborate decoration. The primo object of the tower is to furnish faoilitiee for lighting and ourin0e electrical displays, It will eleo be util• izecl 0,0 a grand Inusio stand, in which bands will play oonetantly during the day, It will be enpplied with an °lava• tor and poviliena open to the public. Four Moorish pavilions 60 feet high will flank the open spade, each containing foul etoriee and decorated with the great- est elegance. On the second tlootu of the tower hill bo four ebiembero, two for battle', awl the other two for a resting. place for vieitors. The third and fourth dears of the tower will be open to the public, affording a tnagnifiaent view of the exhibition and the city. The plaza about the toWer will give (seating room for eight or nitre thousand people, En- oiroling it le a walk large enough to give room to tltoaeands more of opeotatere, This architectural centre has been de. signed for striking effect. The amide stand, which forms the foundation of the tower, is in a sort of basin, serving ad. nlirably fie an amphitheatre ; at eaoh of the four corners is a caaaado and on eaoh side is a restaurant. The whole is 003. preached by eight etairwaye. At 0113110 the colored, ever•changing lights of the tower will brighten the oasoadoe and il- luminate the grounda. Another prominent feature of the ox• position will be a great allegorical form• taus, forming an apotheosis of the archi- tectural, sculptural and aquatic. All of the structures are 00 located as to allow the eye a methodical view, but the ma- thematical stiffness is completely obvi- ated by the landseape effects. Near the entrance inside the grounds will be a subterranean plane out of which will extend grottos, In the caverns the operations of gold and silver alining will be shown. At the end of the cave will be an aquarium stocked with fish of all kinds. The material used in conatrna• tion will consist of tile different geolo- giant elements of the country itself. At tbe roar of the Agriocltural Building will be a large field, reserved for experiment- al work, for windmills and kindred ap• plianaes. The Chinese Six Cnmpaniee are pat- ting up a big building of their own, eur- loundiug a garden of rare Chinese plants. It will Contain a Chinese theatre and restaurant, shops, eto., and have a lofty tower of tiles and porcelain. The Hawai• ion Government is preparing an elabor- ate exhibit, covering two acres. Another feature will be a reproduction of the famous Prater of Vienna, There will be a Hungarian village, with a troop of genuine Czardae ; a Turkish theatre, a street in Cairo, a Japanese tea garden, and many other shows similiitr to those of the Midway Plaisance. The president and director•general of the whole enterprise is the Hon. M. H. de Young. The other members of the administration and officers are Irwin C. Stump, viae.president ; P. N. Lilienthal, treasurer ; Colonel A. Andrew, R. B. Mitchell, the Hon. Eugene J. J. Gregory, Sacramento ; Jacob H. Neff, Colfax; Ful- ton 0. Berry, Fresno : J. S.
