THE PEOPLES DAY.
Another Successful Occasion at the
Popular Exposition.
PROGRAMME FOR THE NEXT WEEK.
Interesting Special Days Laid Out for
People of All Tastes.
SOME OF THE PROMINENT EXHIBITS

The attendance at the Exposition yester
day was perhaps the largest for the present
season. 1t was Peoples day, and the peo.
pie turned out in force to do honor to their
own day. The hot weather did not heIp the
attendance, although the halls of the Expo.
sition are kept so cool that they are
pleasanter than the streets, even on such a
sweltering day as yesterday. When the
weather is cold it is just as nice Colonel
Cappa had very good programme, and his
band was enjoyed by the large audience to
the utmost.
Tomorrow will be request day." That
is to say, the band will play any music re-
quested by the public. This will insure the
programme pleasing the largest number,
because the band will play such pieces as
are asked for by the most people Request
DAY should be popular.
On Tuesday Ireland will be honored
Irish music will be played, and the Irish
people will be the guests of the day. There
will surely be large attendance on that
occasion.
ANOTHER DAY FOR LADIES.
Wednesday will be given up mainly for
the ladies' They will be in command on
that day more than usual The entertain
ment will be fitted to feminine taste; and
the band will play such airs as it is sup
posed the softer sex like best Lady, or
matinee day, is the time when light music is
played and everything is given up to pleas
ure alone
On Thursday the Scotch will be the ia
Tyored nation. Old Scotia will be brought
back TO the memories of MANY of her sons
when the quick airs of the heather resound
through the building. Ehe noble songs
that have been sung by her bards in all ages
will be revived and it is expected that the
national blood will be fired, and that
the Scots will say it is the happiest day
they have spent for many long wear.
On Friday classical music will be rem
dered again bv the band. 1t is right that
the educated ear should be consulted once
week, at least. Although classical music is
mixed In with every programme, there are
many visitors to the Exposition who do not
care for the lighter style of music at all,
but who prefer TO listen to the works of the
old masters and Wagner all the evening
II Is TO please such that classical night
has been instituted by the management
saturday will be peoples day. again.
This will bring to a conclusion what bids
1alr TO be the most successful week the Ex-
position has vet had.
RESPONDING TO A REQUEST.
There have been so many requests for
repetition of that grand descriptive niece of
music, "The Battle of Gettysburg" that
the management has determined to give il.
provided a sufficient number of Grand |
Army posts ask for it to insure a good at |
tendance of old soldiers. The selection |
will be given with all the effects of cannon, |
etc, and it is only necessary to make sure |
that there viii be a large attendance of |
veterans to say that the occasion will be a |
memorable one.
So, far, the indications are that the Ex-
position Society will clear a much larger
amount Of money this season than it did
last. The show is steadily growing in
favor.
