1t must be a wonderful sensation
to san along through the air be- |
tween Heaven and earth.
Bird-men ny over the State Fair

tice when they ny over this IN
spring scene they turn about
again and agan. seemingly greatly
attracted and impressed.
What man has done In producing
the flying machine, the submarine,
wireless telegraphy, the telephone.
the automobile, the tractor and the
many other wonderful, useful and
progressive things Of the world
has been fairly matched by the
composite genius Of many minds
in producing the CENTENARY
CELEBRATION COLUMBUS.
So many unusual, instructive, APP
pealing and delightful things have
been assembled IN this GENTEN-
AIRY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS
that you will marvel at them just
as we have all marveled at the
genius Of man In uniting Gods
power with his. for the betterment
Of the world, as has been done IN
hundreds Of ways.
But the greatest OF all benefits
that comes Of uniting Gods poy-
er with mans IS THAT WHICH
LIFTS MEN AND WOMEN TO.
THE PLANE OF APPRECIA-
TON OF LIFE, its duties and its
beauties.
To see former cannibais and
head hunters live like civilized
beings gives one confidence In
humanity.
Ohio people should be very proud
Of their great Coliseum at the
tate Fair Grounds, Columbus
building that seats, 1900 people
and has such splendid acoustic
qualities that the voice carries
perfectly to all parts Of 1t and Is
heard distinctly.
To divert Just a moments
Ohio people should also be very
proud OF the greater Oval Amphi-
theatre at the State Fair Grounds
where more than $4,000 people can
be seated comfortably.
don't know how many other
places there are In America where
10000 people can be seated to see
part Of Great Exposition, but
there are not many, that's certain,
SO the State OF Ohio may be count
ed as a Great Leader In producing
at its Capital such splendid facili-
ties for the entertainment Of her
people.
No wonder the managers Of the
CENTENARY CELEBRATION
SELECTED COLUMBUS as the
place to display its marvellous ex-
hibits.
Now let me return TO the Pag-
cant. Directly in front Of the
stage stands one OF the greatest
pipe organs Of the world, purchas-
ed for this CENTENARY CELE-
| BRATlON COLUMBUS. e
YOU MUST HEAR n. you
must see the master organist
whose touch with hands and feet
brings to your ears wonderful
music sounds-harmonious and I'M
spiring-from all noeks and cor
ners Of the great Coliseum
Surrounding the organ is the efn-
cinnati Symphony Orchestra Of as
pieces.
Have you ever heard this wonder
full Orchestra?
II not, do so by all means.
Yon can listen to 1t for hours and
get Joy and thrills out Of every
minute.
Topping off all this-a great
chorus Of colored folks, on one
side Of the Coliseum, and great
chorus Of white folks, on the other
side, totaling 1000, join IN wave
of song that will life you to your
feet when you hear IT.
OH, THIS PAGEANT rs REAL
LY WONDERFUL
And this, mind you-as big and as
inspiring as 1t isis only 4 part Of
this Great Exposition.
