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 we'll along to-
free treatment Of the Spanish Renais-
sance, 1t being octagonal In form, with
pavillons 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
tion have their frontage. The cornicc
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 sculpturhl 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 structure. Star shaped windows in
the drum Of the dome admit abundant
light to the large auditorium. This will
seat 200 persons. and with the add!.
tional seating capacity afforded in the
balconies fully 1000 persons can be nc.
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 orgarists
Of the United States to have the privi-
lege Of playing upon it during the En-
position. Two recitals by prominent
eXponents Of this branch of musical
art will be given each day. Concerts
by the leading instrumental organiza-
tions 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
