OPENING. Brilliant Event at the Point-In Every Respect a Finer Exposition Than Ever Before. By 7 o'clock Wednesday evening, a human tide began pouring down Duquesne Way, destined for the Exposition buildings. These were radiant with electricity and filled with a finer gathering of attractions than at any time in tha seventeen years of the Expo.'s existence, and Duquesne Way has never looked better in the vicinity of the Point. The massive stone wall of the P. R. R. great building in process of erection is almost finished and bounds the street opposite the Exposition. All the old unsightly structures are gone and the Block House is duly cared for and surrounded by young trees. The first exhibit in the main building is the wonderful display of Canadian products. These grace the foyer, and prepare visitors for the attractions beyond. Everything is finished and complete as to booths, and these are exceptionally fine. That of H. J. Heinz is a towering white edifice, a duplicate of the one used at the World's Fair, St. Louis. The Boggs & Buhl booth is a snow white and crystal beauty, full of exquisite creations; and the displays of Home, Rosen- baum, Horne-Stewart, and many other leading concerns, show an artistic arrangement which is admirable. The relief map of Pittsburg and vicinity, and the display of large photographs of mills, factories and furnaces, is the most instructive feature of the main building, bestowing a practical demonstration of the Iron City's greatness. It is a condensed and enjoyable schooling for all who see it. The gallery of portraits of prominent Pittsburgers shows about 200 faces, all excellent, large photographs. These include the fea tures of Frick, Garnegie, Brashear, H. Buhl, Jr., G. F. McKenna, R. Pitcairn, J. D. Gallery, W. S. Guffey, Schwab, and many others. In Music Hall, Walter Damrosch and his orchestra, delighted thousands. The hall is handsomer than ever and beautifully draped. Machinery Hall is found full of most interesting mechanism, and a remarkable display of realistic fire quelling, in "Fighting the Flames." All adjacent woodwork is made fireproof, and electricity is handled by experts. Until October 21, tha Exposition will delight and instruct tens of thousands. It is a tribute to the ability of Manager T. J. Fitzpatrick. Women's Auxiliary. A meeting of the Women's Auxiliary has been called for Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the president, Mrs. George A. Gormly. It will be held in the Y. M. G. A. building. The meeting, which will be the first one of the fall, will be devoted to a consideration of the part the Auxiliary will take in the coming carnival and fete to be given for the benefit of the proposed Se-, wickley hospital, and the annual election. Annual Convention. The annual convention of the Pittsburg District of the Young People's Union will be held in the First Baptist church, Nineteenth street, South Side, on September 19. This will be an interesting session, and it is expected that a large number of B. Y. P. U. workers will be present. The local Union is trying to send a good representation. New Addition. Mr. J. H. Lindley, proprietor of the Sewickley Garriage Works, on Walnut Street, has almost completed a new addition on his large building. It is reported that the upper story will be used for a varnish room and the first story as a show room. il
