Commander Henry C. Taylor, U. 8. N., is actively at work at the new Pension building preparing to |sput the temporary canvas root over the court. “I propose,” sald Commander Taylor,when asked by a Star reporter about his plan, “to ‘Support my prin- cipal weights upon the tops of the two rows of large pillars, which cross the court transversely to 408 length, 1 am having built upon the top of these pillars a trestie work, the upper timber of which ‘will constitute a continuous back-bone from side toside. On these back-bones will rest the ridges of two great tents. ‘Three steel hawsers will be stretched from side to side of the court, and will be parallel to the lines of the pillars.’ One will cross the area between the two rows of pillars, and the other two the areas east and west of the Tows Of pillars, “The lower edges of these tents will be laced to these steel hawsers, troughs will de securely hung under these hawsers to carry off Tain of melted snow. ‘These troughs will be capa- clous enough to provide for torrential rains. ‘This leaves the space at the east and west extremities to be covered by a single flap for each, to extend from the steel hawsers up to the east and west Toots. From the back-bones on top of the pillars down to the steel hawsers, which are forty feet below and sixty feet horizontally from them, there will be lengths of small steel rope underneath the canvas proper, passed at regular intervals from the back-bone to the hawsers alid securely fastened to both. This is for the purpose of supporting the great weight on the canvas in case of a heavy ‘s00W, which may perhaps not melt.” ‘All Parts of the workare golng forward. rap- sald Mr. Taylor. “Ten thousand feet of can- vas are being prepared. The sailmakers are work- ing Ul 10 o'clock at night. Mr. McCarthy has a force of men putting up the backbone of, which I ‘spoke. My promise to the executive committee to Huish the root by February 20th will unquestion- ably be fulfilled.” Commander Taylor will have two long steel hawsers, one of which will be are in regerve and the other cut into three pieces, to used as described above. One of these is in New York and the other on the way here. “The wy department,” said Mr. Taylor, “has directed me to push forward this work as rapidiy as possible, and has placed at my di such faciliules as it commands. Ihave been much as- sisted also by the valuable sugvestions of Gen. Meigs and by the hearty and energetic co-opera- ‘Uon of the gentlemen of the committee.
