flower-beds and zoological collection, can hardly be seen in less time. There is a comfortable refectory in the boat-house on the main lake. LINCOLN PARK PALM-HOUSE. The plan of the palm-house just erected at Lincoln Park, drawn by Architect Silsbee, shows a beautiful structure of steel and glass, light, airy and picturesque, sixty feet high, resting upon a bowlder foundation of split granite. The main building is 168x70 feet, with a rear extension of seventy feet, making the entire length of t...he structure 238 feet. In front of the main building there is to be a lobby 25x60 feet, which is ap- proached by a vestibule twenty feet square. The interior of the main building shows an unbroken stretch, save a few light support- ing iron columns for the glass roof. The conservatory is in the rear of the palm-house. It is thirty feet wide. At the extreme north end is a room 30x60 feet, which will be exclusively devoted to the cul- ture of orchids. This room will be further beautified by a sort of observatory tower built of pressed brick and terra-cotta trimmings.
