One of the chief architectural fea-
lures at the Pan-American Exposition
will be the splendid Temple of Music.
This will be the center for musical in
terests at the great All-American Ex-
position. Music lovers will naturally
wend their way to this building very
soon after arrival upon the grounds.
and both here and from the band
stands in the great Esplanade and in
the Plaza they will always find some
entertainment in progress which will
appeal to their love of musical art
The Music Temple is well along, to-
ward completion. It's architecture is a
free treatment of the Spanish Renais
sance, it being octagonal in form, with
pavilions at the corners. The grand
entrance is at the corner of the Es-
planade and Court of Fountains, the
spacious courts upon which most of
the principal buildings of the EXPOSE
ton have their frontage. The cornice
and balustrade are of elaborate compo-
sition, the latter bearing names familiar
to the musical world. The interior Of
the temple will be particularly fine in
it's sculptural and color decorations.
The exterior of the building will be
ornate in architectural features and
groups of sculpture designed to illus
trate the purpose and character of the
building. A dome whose crown is 1876
feet above grade and whose interior is
brilliant with golden tints and other
rich hues gives an imposing finish to

the drum of the dome admit abundant
light to the large auditorium. This will
seat 1,200 persons, and with the add.
tional seating capacity afforded in the
balconies fully 1000 persons can be ac-
commodated. The decorations of the
interior will illustrate such subjects as
the grand divisions of Music, Oratorio
Grand Opera, Symphonic Music, etc
The sculptor will typify such subjects
as religious music, lyric music. gay
music, heroic music, etc.
The great organ for the Temple OF
Music, which is to cost $4,000, is un-
der construction by Emmons Howard
& Son, and already there Is much
eagerness among the leading organists
of the United States to have the priyi
lege of playing upon it during the Elk
position. Two recitals by prominent
opponents of this branch of musical
art will be given each day. Concerts
by the leading instrumental organiza
tons of America and Europe will be
given every day during the progress OF
the Exposition in the Music Temple
and from the band stands in the Plaza
Esplanade and other parts of the
grounds. In connection with the sub
ject of music at the Pan-American Elk
position mention should be made OF
the notable attractions to music lovers
to be provided at the great Saengerfest
of the North American Saengerbund
which will open in Buffalo on Monday
evening, June "a, 1901
No feature of the Pan-American Elk
position will be OF more importance
than the exhibit of mines and metal
lurgy. The building to be devoted to
these exhibits is one of a group OF
three magnificent structures. arranged
In the form of horseshoe, at the west
ern boundary of the Esplanade The
Mines building is the southernmost OF
the group and is connected with the
