the Exposition management ever before at
tempted sousa and his great concert band
opened the Exposition on Sept. Z, and attracted
thousands of people from all parts of Western
Pennsylvania and adjoining states During
the past week patrons OF the big autumnal
show have been RECALLED with magnificent
orchestral concerts by Walter Damrosch and
his celebrated New York Symphony torches
ira Such grand music was never before
heard there and never heard anywhere for
such small price of admission. 1t was an
experiment with the Exposition management,
but 1t proved to be signally successful, for
every concert by the famous orchestra was at
tended by thousands of people. The average
attendance during the stay of Damrosch and
his artists wss not less than 1900.
While Damrosch has gone there comes in his
place no legs an important parsonage in the
music world at large 1t is Victor Herbert,
the celebrated composer of the "Serenade,"
which met such an enthusiastic reception as
performed by the Bostonians last season; the
wizard of the Nile" and other comic operas.
Herbert comes rs conductor of the famous
Twenty second Regiment band of New York

the finest of its kind in the United States not
excepting Sousa's and the old Gilmore band
Herbert begins his engagement Monday
evening, Oct. 3, and remains to the close of the
Exposition season, a period of three weeks He
was at the Exposition two years ago and was
very warmly received. Since that time he
has won new laurels and is today considered
one of the foremost figures in the music world.
1t is a deserved compliment to Conductor
Herbert that he is to remain here for the clos.
ing three weeks of the Exposition season. for

diving by Captain Louis Sorcho, who was one
of the divers employed by the United States
government to inspect the wreck of the
battleship Maine, in Havana harbor last Feb
ruary in which over 200 American marines
lost their lives and the arena of trained lions
bears. wolves and monkeys Too see the baby
lions is also great treat. Three baby lions
were born just after the Hagenbeck show ar.
rived at the Exposition grounds and they are
literally the lions of the hour, for they are
idolized by everybody who visits the big show
Many women have taken the pets in their
arms and fondled them as they would kitten
or pet dog. The feats of daring of the hon
tanner are also worthy Of comment.
In the main building will be found the cine
photographic with lifelike views of the late war
with Spain. and other interesting features
The merry go-round and the gravity railway
afford plenty of good, wholesome amusement
for the young people at the west end of the
Exposition grounds.
