annual exposition of Westcra Pennsyl-
yania opeIied Wedncs lay evenin;, for a
season OF 40 days. Judging from the at
tendance so far the people believe the
claim made by the managers that this
wears exposition will eclipse anything
ever held in Pennsylvania. The Infusion
of new blood into the management
wrought wonderful change and Pitts
burgh now has an exposition of which 1t
may well feel proud. i,
There are so many new, unique ana
novel exhibits this year that II II almost
impossible to begin to describe them.
The features of the show are the music
and art gallery The former Is being FUR
nished by lnnes' celebrated 18th regi-
ment band of New York and chorus OF
334 trained voices. Nearly all the paint
ings are medal winners from the Worlds 5
Fair and European salons. Among
the great works is Munkacsy's 81, 900
painting of 1.-The last hours of Mozart. "
1t is owned by General Russell A. Alger,
who is a presidential possibility, and
who will be at the Exposition during the
G. A r. Encampment. Another eele-
brated picture is Hovenden's Bring

place and attracts much attention
