attraction second in interest only to the expo
slion itself. 1t was then impossible to
obtain seats tor Its reproduction, certainly
after the September rush began, except by
purchasing tickets for "A week in advance and
rs the number of visitors grew, even this did
not suffice. Thousands of persons who de.
sired to witness what was considered Mr..

Never before have there been more attractive
combinations Of color, form and beauty in a
stage procession. Rarely, if ever, have there
been more living figures of grace and sup
