being not less than 62,600 feet superficial. The greatest number of panes inserted by a man in one day was 108, being 367 feet 6 inches of glazing."

It is gratifying to be able to state that Messrs. Fox, Henderson and Co.'s astonishing contract to deliver over the building-or "the Crystal Palace," as it was now generally denominated, on account of the fairy-like beauty of the structure-to the Commissioners, on the 31st December, was punctually performed-the crystal edifice had sprung out of the ground almost with the silence and rapidity of Aladdin's Palace; and although the severity of the frost had put a stop to the operations of the glaziers, yet three-fourths, and by far the most important portion, had been covered in; and punctually on the 1st of January the Commissioners occupied the vast space with their carpenters, painters, and artizans, and urged forward the final preparation for the reception in the

world's wonder in architecture of the world's wonders of art.

Among the later operations connected with the completion of the work, the most remarkable for the celerity with which it was conducted, was the ornamental painting of the nave roof. Iron straps, attached to the trusses, supported a number of scaffold poles, on which a perfect cloud of boards was laid, and as many as between 400 and 500 painters, by these means, worked their way, with extreme rapidity, from one end of the building to the other.

By the 1st of May the building was completed; the interior and a great part of the exterior were painted; the roof covered with canvas, and the crowds of workmen of all kinds, exhibitors, and their assistants, were replaced by the vast assembly collected to witness the inauguration of the Exhibition by Her Majesty, which took place punctually on that day, as determined sixteen months before.
