Great crowds of Suburbanites already

this year are of such high order that to do
aught 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 so interesting,
elaborate and grand was dreamed OF at the
insignificant admission fee OF IS cents. 1t
surely is 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 rltherinu novelties to place on
his Pittsburg programs. While Mr.. Dam
rosch sands in truth for the highest in his
art, vet his concerts are arranged to please
and e,!isHthe llrge>, number Of people.
Assisting him This season will be Miss
Annie Bussert. beautiful soprano soloist,
especially engaged from New York City.
Out-of-town patrons can not but become en-
amored of this charmingyoung woman, who
besides gloyng in splendid. rich voice,
boasts a commanding stage presence, and
never fails to delight and tascinate her
hearers.
The exhibits have been completely changed
the past week. and the New Exposition pre-
,rnts cleaner and more interesting face to-
llv than ever before.
The attractions are enjoying unusual pat
onage because Of their really high merit.
These in detail arc the Cinematograph with
absolutely new pictures; the Dancing
Narionettes. Nit Pelee in Eruption, "
The Laughing Gallery" Darkness and
Dawn" - The Haunted swing" "The
Merry go-round" and the favorite "To-

All railroads entering Pittsburg have made
elaborate preparations to handle the record
breaking throngs that are sure to crowd the
Exposition buildings these las, two weeks.
