THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC.

     The Temple of Music, one of the most beautiful of the Exposition buildings, is situated west of the central fountain of the Esplanade and south of the Machinery and Transportation building. It is a square-shaped building, the arched entrances at the corner giving it a circular appearance. It is surmounted by a tower covering the entire building and this is covered with a dome rising 180 feet above the main floor. The building is colored in light yellows, with gold and red trimmings, and the panels in the dome are in light blue, producing an extremely beautiful effect. The building occupies a space 150 feet by 150 feet, and was designed by Architect Aug. C. Esenwein of Buffalo, N. Y., and cost $85,000.
     It provides an auditorium capable of seating 2,200 people, and contains one of the largest pipe organs ever built in the United States, and daily organ recitals are given by the most celebrated organists of this country and Canada. The organ is the work of Emmons Howard of Westfield, Mass., and is equipped with all the latest improvements known to organ builders. The principal national holidays will be observed with musical festivals, and many of the most famous bands of both the New and Old Worlds will give concerts in the Temple of Music, and from the various other band stands of the Exposition grounds.
