For ten years artists and architects put their heads together to make it the acme of beauty and convenience, and now for ten' years the builder has been busy; It has a frontage of 350 yards; 28 lines of rail run into it; it .will see 400 trains a day there are fifty clocks to tell the time! The finishing touches will take till 1015.
