MUSIC AT THE EXPO
HERBERT, ELLERY AND DAM.
ROsCH AMONG ATTRACTIONS
THAT ARE YET TO COME.

The season at the %Pittsburs EXPOSE
ton, which Is about half over, gives
promise OF being one of the best In
the eighteen years Of the popular
show at the headwaters of the Ohio
river. First, as TO the musical attrac-
lions Of this year, too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the manage
ment for the strength of the organi-
cations which have come and gone
and which are yet to be heard In Expo
sition music hall. C~reatore opened
the season; then came the Theodore
Thomas orchestra; then Sousa for a
week, Victor Herbert arrives In Pitts
burg on Monday, September "a. Her
bert remains for n week. Ellerys
band October 1-6 and Damrosch
Is the attraction from October s to the
close, October 20.
Too much cannot be said Of the vir-
tue OF these musical organizations.
Their presence in Pittsburg from year
to year has become an annual mupical
treat-something which has elevated
Western Pennsylvania In the musical
world several notches. Victor Her
bert has arranged a series of musical
gems for his stay in Pittsburg which
outrivals that of last year, II possible.
He Is considered P%ittsburg's wi eom-
poser and the city promises to turn
out en- masse to do him honor.
Aside from the musical attractions
at the Exposition, there are so many
new and novel features that It. Is al
most impossible to take in everything
In an afternoon or evening. Thou
sands upon thousands Of dollars have
been spent in r~ejuvenating the big
buildings and making them attractive.
On last Friday evening, Frank Bos-
tock's trained animal show opened at
the Exposition in the immense Hippo
drome In Machinery Hall. Bostock is
known the world over as having one
OF the finest animal shows in the uni
verse. Included in his program Of
animal acts are twelve ferocious lions,
innumerable tigers, pumas, hVsnas.
dogs, birds-in fact animals OF all
kinds. Immense steel cages have been
built at the extreme end Of the Expo
sition grounds which contain the most
ferocious animals svsr captured in =
Jungle. The Bostock show will re-
main at the Exposition until the close
Of the season. Then there ID the DE
struction Of San Francisco" which Is
. replica Of the awful disaster Of last
April when the Golden Gate was de-
stroyed. BY a series Of electrical ef-
fects, the audience ID transported to
the seacoast city and for = half hour
almost imagines It ID going through
the terrible ordeal Of AN earthquake.
20 realistic Is the effect.
Among other attractive features are
the following: Round New York.

play; display Of the resources Of the
South; vitosraph moving pictures,
enormous Ferris wheel and scores Of
other instructive and amusing things.
The excursions which are being run
to the Exposition on Wednesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, n fare for

popular each week. Thousands upon
thousands Of out-of-town people are
taking advantage Of these reduced

shopping expedition, is complete with

Last years. attendance at the Expo
siticn was nearly 100000. This year,
II the attendance keeps up as 1t has
since the opening, the record mark
of a half million will be reached. This
is pretty good evidence that the West
