EXPO. 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.
