BUREAU OF SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS.



There was a multitude of special attractions supplied.  Balloonists, Day-light
fire-works, High wire walking, High Diving, Log Rolling, Boat races, etc.,
etc., all of a character to fill in and round out the daily programs.

The special feature of the special attractions, however, was the splendid fire
works exhibitions displayed under provisions of contract with the A.L. Due Fire
Works Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, who were the official Pyrotechnists of the
Exposition.  They were the finest ever seen in the west and were greatly
admired and praised by those who have seen and judged the best exhibitions of
fireworks given in the United States.  The total cost of fireworks was rather
more than $12,000.00.

Special musical attractions were also provided, notably the Theodore Thomas
Orchestra, and the Apollo Singing Club, both of Chicago.  These organizations
with other musical matters, are specially referred to in this record under the
title of MUSIC BUREAU.

The chiefest special attraction perhaps, was the Indian Congress, which is also
treated separately under the title of "THE INDIAN CONGRESS."
