PITTsBURG, August 10, 1s9l.-"Ine
world do move," is an old saying, but
none the less true. The particular por-
ton of the aforesaid sphere to which we
desire to call the attention OF our read
ers is Pittsburg and its grand EXPOSE
ton, which opens its doors for the third
season on Wednesday evening, Septem-
Der I'd, for period of forty days, or to
be more definite, closing October nth.
The wonderful success which has at
tended the efforts of its promoters In
the past two years Is already we'll
known to the people Of this community,
and has passed into history as one OF the
most deserving, at the same time one OF
the most successful Of public enter
prises. Its management has the Halter
ing record to its credit OF having faith
fully carried out its promises, as thous-
ands of delighted visitors can abundant
ly testify. The Exposition has. in con-
sequence, received the unqualified
Endorsement of every intelligent
citizen OF Western Pennsylvania and
adjoining States. The gentlemen who.
have this important undertaking In
charge are determined to do everything
IN their power to make it more attrac-
tive and valuable each year. From
present indications they are on the
right track, and are bound to succeed.
No expense has been spared TO provide
the best attractions possible for their
patrons. The famous Seventh Regiment
Band of New York, under the direction
of that established favorite, Colonel
Cappa, as leader, has been engaged
for the entire season. This Is the
first time this magnificent musical
organization has ever visited Pitts
burg, and the Exposition manage
ment is to be congratulated on being
able to effect an engagement with such
a representative body OF musicians. The
members of this great band are all SOLO
lists OF established reputation, and their
presence at the Exposition will very
materially add to its interest. The ex-
pense 70 the management in making
this engagement is very great, but they
feel that they will be reimbursed for their
enterprise and outlay by increased at
tendance of all lovers of music. We
commend the band Of the Seventh and
its famous leader TO the confidence OF
all those who appreciate really good
article In the musical line.
Another attraction will be the Art
Department. which will comprise col
lection of the rarest and most costly
gems from the studios Of both Ameri-
can and foreign artists. The loan COL
lection OF paintings rendered the Ex-
position Society, through the courtesy
Of many of the wealthy and public
spirited men OF Pittsburg and Ale
gheny, is unquestionably the finest col
lection of valuable works OF art ever
shown in Plttsburg, and has never
been surpassed as a whole, anywhere In
this country. In no other way can our
citizens hope TO see such examples,
except through the generous donors
who have kindly promised them TO
be placed on public exhibition. An
opportunity like this may never occur
again: indeed, IL is certain that ii will
not. Application has frequently been
made the owners OF these valuable can
NdSSeS III Tue pdsI w IOdil Iucin, OuV
the request has always been denied.
Having given consent in the present
instance is ample evidence OF the
esteem In which the Exposition is held
by the representative men OF the two
cities. This feature alone is worth ten
times the price OF admission charged.
IL has been suggested by many
friends of the Exposition that a sep
arate admission should be asked TO
the Art Department over and above the
regular entrance fee, but the manage
ment has persistently refused to do so.
Their action in not doing so cannot be
too highly recommended, and it has been
positively determined to make the price
of Ambulance to the entire display, in
Guiding the Art Department, at the old
figure, twenty-five cents. The Exposi-
ton is booming, and this will be It's
most prosperous year, and everyone
who can should certainly improve the
opportunity to visit It before 1t closes.
