world famous I'cslgnor of the Chlcngo Audi
torium , nnd for many years past widely colo-
b rated ns the special architect fnr the national
political conventions of both loading parties
whotovor held In the United States , today
handed In his report. Ho says that arrange
ments for the conversion of the Mlnnonpolls
exposition building Into n hall fur tno repub
lican national convention hns progressed
sufllciontly to Justify the prediction thai
Minneapolis will furnish the republican party
the belt , convention hull yet constructed In
this country.
The exposition building , ho says , Is being
reconstructed to scat between UMXK ) nnd 1 1-
QUO spectators , everyone of whom will com
mand n full vlow of the entire space , occupied
by the delegates. Every spectator In the
hull will ho able to see and hear ovei'3'ono
who miy rise to speak in thu body of dele
gates , or from the rostrum.
In n general way , thn arrangement of the
hall may bo described as follows : In the
renter will ba n space nearly square which
vvlll bo occupied by tlio delegates for whom
settees nnd opera ctialrs will bo provided.
Tha aisles will ba MO arranged ns to render
easy tue approach to the scats themselves ,
and communication botuee.i the dltTerent
delegations. Immediately In from of Iho
spare occupied by the delegates and extending
across Its entire width will bo nn elevated
rostrum , in the center of which will bo
another elevation , which is to bo occupied by
the chairman of the convention , the clerk of
the convention and the stand for the speak
ers. Immediately behind this will bo seats
lor tlio national committee and for the hon
ored guests nf the convention. To each sldo
of the lostrnm for the ofllcors of the convon
tlon will bo tublus , llr.st for the representa
tives of tbo Associated Press and for the
chief ruprospututlves of thu Western Union
and Postal Telegraph comp.inio * nnd then
for the reporters of the lending dallies of the
country. In addition to those will he chairs
for ttioso renrosentutlvoj of the press not en-
gaqediln the Immediate work of making
verbatim reports of the proceedings , but en-
ciitrpd In description writing , etc.
The scats for tua nnectutots will nsu in
every diioctlun from the central space before
described upon a method of stepping tuuh-
nlr.illy known us the "uacoustio curve , "
thi' purpose and effect of whlcti is to glvo the
best and most cflcctivo combination of sight
und soiiml lines Known to modern science.
Hariing the difl'erenco ns between tbo
curvilinear und the rectangular plan , thu
conditions rodomblo moro the Roman amphi
theater limn those of the Interior ol nny
modern structmo.
The nu'.anr ol ingress and ecross will bo
similar to these in use nt the various
music festivals und conventions held
in former times in the exposition building ,
nnd now In use at thu Auditorium. The
seats will bo .subdivided into comp ir.itivol.v
small suctions , each with a separate entrance.
nnd such arrangements will bo made
in tlio printing and designing of
the tickets thai the nntlre mummoth
audience can bo seated ns rapidly as the audi
ence of im ordinary theater. The arrange
ments made for oprcss from the house In
volve the election of now stairways , nggro-
irntlng 120 feel in width. Work" upon the
drawings is being prosecuted wllh the ut
most diligcnco and it is expected the work
will bo ready for letting contracts within two
weeks.
Thu citi7ciu of Minneapolis have taken
hold of the preparations for this con von tlon
with a xoal and enthusiasm that promise
gro.it results. To supplement existing hotel
accommodations arrangements are being
made to convert a number of new and not
