nearly four acres Of scenery. Under the
glare of scores Of electric lights this

feats Of the Roman hippodrome, aerial
and acrobatic acts of the circus. ballets
by a corps Of trained dancers. pageants
of senator's. musicians. priestesses. In

of the city by the volcano Vesuvius.
Following Immediately upon the scene
of ruin and desolation comes the brill
liant display of Pains fireworks. which
is alone worth all the effort and expense
of visit to this exhibition.
