great Exposition once, but there are
thousands who go two and three timesa
week one can't begin TO see all the at
fractions Of The show in one day. because
there are the great musical concerts by
the most famous bands In the country,
and the special attractions that are
each Of them after enough to occupy the
attention OF single visit. 1t is the
place OF resort OF all classes and con-
dltions OF people. and II the Exposition,
pcrchdnce, should miss q season, Pitts
burghers would find a void hard to Gil
and out-of-town visitors one Of their
great annual attractions,
The record Of the Exposition the
sight seasons 1t has b0en opened bear
out these assertions. 1t is fact that
the average attendance IN round num-
bcrs has Appropriated 100000 people
each season OF forty days. and OF this
number the out-of-town visitors have
averaged 1900 annually In other
words, that number of railroad ticket
coupons have been taken in Mt the safe,
though the total out-pf-town attend
ance has been much larger.

year opens on September !, but a few
weeks hence. and closes on October l6.
