TILE OFFICERS RELEOTED, The following dny the Board of Dircctors mot at the now Bherman Houso, and Messrs. Hosing, Latlin, Crane, Palmor, snd Reyuolds wore ap- pointed & committee to mominate pormanent officers, This they did at a moeting held on tho 24th, whou thoy mado tho following roport, which was adoptoed : Prestitent—Toter Palmer, Vire-Prestdents—Tho Hon, Joseph. 8fedill, the on, 1.

Thoso sclotions wore eminontly Judicious, Mr. Roynolds, tho Secratary, had boon trained to Lis businoess iu tho State Fairs, otc., and was Kknown to possoss great qualifications as an or- gavizer, whilo the mombers of the Exccutive Committee, on whom the bulk of tho work would ave to fall, woro trusted and oxpostenced busi- noss mon. To thom tho success of the Exposi- tion is undoubtedly duo in gront part. MISOELLANEOUS, Tho vosxed question of s location came up ngain, for the right to uso tho Lako Parlk bad not thon beon dofinitely obtained. The Mayor still bolisved thers would be no diffieulty in the ‘mattor, provided the obstinate property-holders could bo assurod that the strugture to he erected was somowhat ormamental and of & tomporary nature. Anyattempt to got theground pormancut~ 1y would, he thought, result in failure. It is probable, iowever, that now the building in up, tho proparty-holdars_ will find it an ade vantago rather than a dotriment, sud will Lo williug to let it remnin to the end of timo. ‘I'se Directors mot ngain on the 2d, but failed to secure a quorum, and so adjournad to the fol- lowiug day, whou a sufliciont numbor were prou< ent, und thie by-lnws were adapted. T, M. Avery resigned, and the vaconcy was filled by thio cloc- tion of Edwin Leo Brown. TIE ERECTION OF A BUTLDING ORDERED. Then the meoting procecded to buainess. Mr, Coolbaugh first movad that the Boavd of Divec~ tors issuo an order for the qlnymcm'- of the as- sessments duo on stock on the 1a days of July, August, and Soplember, and, after that had booh ngreod to, offored the following, which mot with no opposition : Jesolved, That the Executive Committeo bo, and fhiey bro Heroby, netructed to praceed withaut'delny ad ok such niendures af may ho necessury to securo the construction of the necessary building for the Ex- josiion 10 bo Lokl during tho coming fll, and thnt ey nroauthorized to mako such contracts aud incur auch oxpenees 0a may Lo proper. Tho Executive Committeo having boen in- trusted with full power, wout on to provide for the oraction of the building, tho question of the location having been defluitoly settled on tho 28th of April by the pusuage, by the Common Council, of & resolution allowing tho uso of a portion of the Lake Fark, north of VanBuron Btreat, for tho orection of tho Exposition build- ing, tho plaus to bo submitted for the approval of the Board of Public Works, undor the super- intendenco of which body they wero to bo car- ried out. DOYINGTON'S PLAN ADOPTED. That matter disposed of, tho questlon of a building wag tuken up. Long beforo Mr. W, W. Boyington bad prepured a plan for a structure, tho length of it boing G540 feot, tho broadth 100 i tho muin body, aud 200 in tho cross_ soctions, the interior boing one stary with gallories, It contained s dining and lectire-room each €0 feet Dy 100, togethor with a large number of smallor rooms, 'Tho centro of tho Iacado was to have been terminatod by a domo 200 feot high. The building was to bo of glass and iron. Ar. Boy- iugton's interest in tho subject and the fact that hio hisd studied the mattor, naturally induced tho Exoentive Committes toturn to hita, and Lie, aftor remodeling bis plans so as to adapt thom to tho now site and the somewhat modified charactor of thio Exposition, submitted them in substantially their present form, providing for a bmlding bo- tweon Monrooand Jackson ktrects of 800 foet by 200, with an addition at tho north end. PHOFOED INOREASE OF STOOK, Tho Executive Comumitteo roported tueir ac- tion at a meeting of tho Board of Directors held o the 106k of dimo, and statod farthor, that bids had been advertised for for tho work to the amount of $108,323, and that in part psyment the contractors would take 50,000 in steck, which was thon beginniug to_bucomo popular, or would wait for that sum till the receipts from the Exposition bogau to como in, An additional sum of money would bo needed to covor plumb- Ing, gas ditting, soworage, &o. g‘iuun tho capital stock amounted to only $160,000, which was plniul{ insutticient to cover tho cost of tho building, Mr, N, C. Fairbank, of tho Fiuauco Committes, moved that the ne sary stope bo Lakon to raisc it to $250,000,—that is, that tho Bocretary should advertite, calling a meeting of the stockholders to vote upon the quention of an incroase of the amountof capital stock. ‘This was agraed to, and tho Lxecutive Committoo was authorized fo proceed to lot tho contract for the orectiou of the building in uc- cordanco with Mr. Boyington's plans, “The necessily for the iucrenso of tha capital ntock was speciaily urgent, since tho Bomid of Public Works, wnen consultod by & committee 2 to tho muunor of crecting tho building, ud recoived o roply that, boforo it took any ro- sponuibility ' the mattor, the monoy should be deposited with the cily, or properly socured. 3It, HUESING DIOVES A POSTPONEMENT.

TUT THE MOTION I8 LOKT. Thus did Mr, Iesing, tho doubter, stalo hia cago, towham Mr. Bouton responded that the upeoifications aud working drawings wora all rondy, and that the bullding could be in complote rendiness on the 1st of Beptomber, or the con- tractors would bave to pay forfeit. ‘Tho walls could ensily be gotton up in four weoks, ile had no foars at all on the suhjct of the bullding, Marshall Iold was of tho opinion that many would stibscribo 1n cago tho Exposition wore de~ forrad for a yenr, and Mr, Hesing was willing to doublo or treble hin own subseription if such wero tho cnse. Ho inquired If anytbiug had beon done to comnut them to holding it thia yonr? Had circulars beon sent out inviting por- #ons to oxhibit ? Bacratary lteynolds anld they had, in a gonaral Hort of & way, and that tho genorul lenor of thelr corraspondetico was that thoy could have, with s littlo labor, tho greatest Exyosition over bold {n Clleago, tho Secrotary was confldent, and, ag usual, 80 wgs D.

Itwas lost, sinco no onae voted forit. ‘i tomporary cloud caused by tho Jubi- loo passed away, and all wout on with their work with ronowed cuergy.
