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. Its architecture is
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
its sculptural aud color decorations.

ornate in architectural features and
groups of sculpture. designed to illus
trate the purpose and character of the
building. A dome whose crown is 1856
feet above grade and whose interior is
brilliant with golden tints and other
rich hues gives an imposing finish to
the structure. Star shaped windows in
the drum of the dome admit abundant
light to the large auditorium This will
seat 1,200 persons, and with the addi-
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.

as religious music, lyric music, gay
music, heroic music, etc.
