array at the stands Of the leading Pitts
burg merchants. The wonderful designs
wrought in wood and glass, in iron, steel
and aluminium, evincing the remarkable
ingenuity of the age in inventions and
manufacture, will entertain the many
thousands who wander through the vast
enclosures, not to mention the thousands
of other products too numerous tdSngle

those little darlings, who so like TO be
whirled around through space, as well as
look at pretty things, what is again in
store for them? The dear old merry-go-

will eclipse any yet displayed in the
history of the Exposition, and it is well
known the quality of the paintings dis
PLAYED in past years were of the highest
merit. Paintings by the world famed
artists of Europe will be on exhibition for
the first time in this country. These alone
will be worth many times the admission.
But music, that great attraction OF all
attractions, what a treat there is in store!
One great band would suffice TO bring the
thousands, but when such grand organi-
zation as Gilmore's band, under the dlrec-
ton of the great Gilmore successor, Victor
Herbert, opens the great affair, and after
playing several weeks, is followed by
Conterno' g 9Th RegimentBando of Brooklyn
and the only Innes. it would seem that
enough has been said to predict that the
Pittsburg Exposition of 80 Will be
grand and glowing success.
For months large number Of men
have been employed in repairing and
cleaning the buildings, beautifying the
grounds and getting everything in readi-
ness for the opening which will be an
event in the history of Pittsburg.
The interior of the buildings will be
beautifully decorated at an enormous
expense. In fact, the management has
spent money lavishly for the entertain
ment of visitors, and unless all signs fail,
this years Exposition will be the greatest
in point of merit, attendance and enter
tainment since the foundation of the
enterprise.
Special features each day, such as
Flower Shows, Billiard Contests between
World Famed Billiardists, Ives, Shaffer,
etc, Bicycle Contests, Illuminations, etc,
etc, etc, will be pleasing departure.
The railroads will do everything in
their power to give persons within $50
miles of Pittsburg an opportunity to visit
this biggest of big shows, and will make
liberal reductions in their rates.
A failure to visit the Pittsburg Exposi-
ton this year will be an everlasting regret.
