The School Days
One OF the great attractions Of the
present Exhibition will be Saturday
afternoon concerts that will be Civ
en- from time to time during the sea-
son. There will be three concerts
given during the present month Of
May. At these there will be from
$500 to 2,7OO voices, and the exer-
cises will be held in the auditorium.
During these special days the adj
mission price will be ten cents.
From time to time also there will be
other school exercises in the several
grades Of studies. These will be
given with special references to sew
eral grades of instruction. When
these are given they will be either
held in the large auditorium or in
the lecture-roOm, accordingly as O
greater or less number attend.
This lecture room is now being
fitted up underneath the south gal
cry, and will be fitted up for the &C,
cOmmodation OF about 800. When
a class is admitted for special exer-
else the rest of the school will OF
course be admitted also. The ques.
ton Of admitting visitors in the
Evensngs and ora Sundays
is still an open one. In several in
terviews with the President OF the
Exhibition and several Of its officers
our reporter was informed that the
question had never come before the
Board of Directors in . tangible
shape. They were awaiting the de~
mands Of the people, aud would be
governed by the wishes Of the latter.
There would be, whenever there
was any special attraction, evenings
when the building would be lighted
and open to the public. This would
probably be frequently the case in
the warm weather, when attractive
concerts and popular lectures would
be given. The president further
expressed himself as decidedly in fa-
vor OF opening in the evening when
ever it was Thought that it would
pay and even at o small sacrifice to
the management.
