INDIAN TUNES
AT EXPOSITION
Melodies Of Poor Lo, Writ
ten by Californians, Give
Public a Musical Treat
BY PAUL EDWARDS.

CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING,
California music composition is having
an inning at the San Francisco build
ing, where an exquisitely toned piano
with an automatic playing attachment
is pouring into the public ear melody
from three folios of the best efforts of
Golden State musicians. The folios were
prepared and sent here by Byron
Mauzy. They contain both vocal and
instrumental selections. Among the no.
table pieces in the collection are "GhoSt
Dance of the Zuni Indians ''Zuni Cra-
die Song" and Lovers Wooing," trans
lated by Professor Carlos Troyer. The
''Ghost Dance" had already been played
by an exposition band and was well
received. These Indian compilations
have an originality and oddity about
them that bring more than passing at
tention from musical people. The two
songs named have been sung success
fully by Denis O'Sullivan and David
Bispham. Edgar Stillman Kelly's Ell
Dorado suite and his Macbeth" music,
| the ballads of Major Darling and bits
| from the operatic efforts of Emil Bru-
guiere and DR.. II. ]. Stewart are among
the many pleasing compositiQps in the
collection. I'll 81

from wharf building and hay to Batten-

SAN FRANCISCO EXHIBIT.
San Francisco has a great advantage
on the model street, for other cities
show little besides street-cleaning ap-
| paratus and other municipal utilities,
which are entertaining to city officials
and contractors, but do not draw nor
hold the public, and are not especially
attractive to women. The commercial
exhibit is properly given the most
prominent place in the San Francisco
strewn around to attract public that
will not go very far to view CONNER
c;al exhibit only.
A wealthy and refined class finds its
way to the San Francisco building. and
while there are some things about the
structure. and display that are neces-
sarily crude because of the adverse
conditions under which the work was
carried on, these visitors find enough
that is pleasing to cause them to call
again and to send their friends around.
Monterey County has sent to the
California display in the Educational
building a collection of shells that is
the delight of the children and an OBJ
ject of interested inspection by the
scientists in the structure. The shells
were gathered by the children of the
Monterey schools on the beautiful
! ocean front at that place.
COLLECTION OF SHELLS.
| There is an unusually large collection
/ of sea urchins, always interesting to
the wise men of the pedagogic world.
