have visited the New Exposition az Pitts

this year are of such high order that to do
aughte else but enthuse over them were quite
out OF the question.
In first instance the music presented to
date has completely swept Exposition visit
ors of their feet, for nothing 50 interesting,
elaborate and grand was dreamed of at the
Insignificant admission fee OF IS cents. IL
surely i like giving away gold dollars to
offer such music at such nominal prices.
The musical feature for the closing two
weeks of the Exposition is the great New
York orchestra OF Walter Damrosch, the
ever-popular young conductor. who all sum-
mer has been gathering novelties to place on
his Pittsburg programs. While Mr.. Darn
rosch stands in truth for the highest in his
art. yet his concerts are arranged to please
and edify the largest number OF people.
Assisting him this season will be Miss
Annie Busserf, beautiful soprano soloist,
especially engaged from New York City.
Out-of-town patrons can not but become en-
anored of this charmingyoungw woman, who
besides glorying IN splendid, rich voice,
boasts . commanding stage presence. and
never fails to delight and fascinate her
. hearers.
The exhibitshave been completely changed

The attractions are enjoying unusual pat
