WEST s [s. snvite you to see and hear the new MASON & RISCH and HENRY HERBERT PIANOS including the famous DU'O•ART Reproducing Piano at the Canadian National Exhibition MASON rnE »d (SCH 230 YONGE ST. TORONTO i Famous military and concert bands peered in former years at the Cana- dian National Exhibition. The high standard has been maintained this year by the engagement of the great' Edwin Franke Goldman organization of New York, sixty musicians, and re- garded as the loading ensemble of its kind in the United States, The accompanying illustration shows the new seating arrangement of the Edwin Franko Goldman band. The reed instruments stretch across the front of the stage. At the left of the conductor are the first clarinets and immediately to the right are two oboes, behind which are • the second and third clarinets. The flutes, saxophones and bassoons are direct- ly in front of the conductor, It will be noticed that all the brass instru- ments have their bells pointing dlreot ly at the audience. In the centre to- ward the rear, four bell front basses will be noticed together with two string basses. Toward the lett in the rear is the battery seotion.show- ing a complete paraphernalia includ- ing tympani, bass drum, small drum, tom-tom, chimes, gong, fire bell, fire I siren, etc. This new and novel seating ar- rangement rrangement was adopted ' after much experimenting and it is Mr. Goldman's contention that the fine tonal effect obtained by his organization is large- ly due to the arrangement of instru- ments. Mr. Goldman adopted a new seating arrangement some years ago which has guise been approved by many of the concert bands through- out the world. It became known as the "Goldman Seating Plan and is now used almost everywhere, especial- ly for radio broadcastiug. . The now and later arrangement shown, in the illustration is a decided improve- ment upon Mr, Goldman's former plan. This band will appear daily at the Canadian National Exhibition from August 23rd to Sept. 7th, Many, other Sine military and concert bands will appear also and as a further' offering to music -lovers, the Cana-� diem National Exhibition Chorus of two thousand vetoes will appear dur-I ing the period' of the fair ander the direction of the internationally fare-,' ous Dr, Ii, A. Frisker, conductor of the great Mendelssohn Choir of To,', route. As it that were not ehongh, the Exhibition management has ar- ranged with the Thavlu Opera Com- pany of Chicago for open-air presenta- tion of several of the standard operas,' works of the fatuous masters, For': the bands and operas, an elaborate system of amplification - has been ar.. ranged ,a modern elegem which dogs not djstort vocal or instrumental music,. The Tlhavtu proseIntations Exhibition are a novelty which are expected to prove a sensation at the Canadian National Exhibition as they have out- doors elsewhere, Exhibition Notes Agricultural Resume The Canadian National Exhibition, now recognized as the greatest agri- cultural institution In the world, has to its credit the glorious record of fifty-one consecutive years. of unabated effort to advance the interests of our Nation's basic industry. The pres- ent year sees the management of this great organization planning and pre- paring a more iteresting and educa- tioal agricultural program than ever for its "EMPIRE YEAR" Celebration. From end to end of the sixteen and one-half acres of buildings under one continuous root, the very finest live stock in the land will have the most modern and sanitary exhibiting facili- ties, judging arenas and show rooms. It is safe to say that the spectacle to be presented wilt faithfully por- tray "The Agricultural Development of a Nation:' Heralding the show the annual premium list went through the mail some weeks ago to a host of patrons in all 'provinces throughout Canada and the many States of the union. The list for 1929 is the most at- tractive and comprehensive ever is- sued•by the C. N. E. Association. It contains one hundred and fifty-eight Pages' and is replete with Information relative to agriculture embracing every division of live stock. Through the many sections listed revisions and improvements for the general good of breed and breeder are notice- able. Increased Entries in Horse Events In the breeding horse sections classes have been added for young horses, and the "Junior breeders" will be , afforded 101 .apportunity 01 praaet(ting their mantels to advnat- age, Saddle, 'harness and hunter classes will, es usual, make up the Horse Show. There has been eon^ tsiderable revision of the elassiRca- tions In this department and the prize money for the raspsetivo placings is now On a More generous scale, The 1929 Norse Show obviouslywill be more outstanding than even that of 1928 when a record entry was secur- ed, Weil filled classes of first quality and keenly contested' events always characterize the splendid show in the Arena and furnish much pleasure and many Orilla eacti afternoon and evening to the vast crowds in atten- dance. Poultry Classes to Encourage Juveniles and Egg Exhibits The Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Show will be held on the aper floor of the eastern annex and Ma most modern cooping equipment is being provided to accommodate an entry of at least 6,000 exhibits. A special fea- ture that makes this show attractive to breeders is the guarantee of single cooping of all birds entered at a nominal fee of only 75c per indivi- dual exhibit. This Is of great benefit to breeders of gilth quality stock, for when birds are cooped together in ne cage—as they are under the dou- ble cooping system --serious, injury to a valuable specimen often results, Boy and girl poultry breeders are be- ing catered to on quite au extensive scale, twelve sections being provid- ed for juvenile competitors. By way of encouragement the Hon. John S. Martin, Ontario Minister of Agricul- ture, offers a silver trophy for the "Best Young Pair Shown". Other new additions this year are Fanciers' Egg Classes and Sales Display Pens. Trotting Program The 1929 renewal 01 the trotting and pacing program annually sponsored by the Canadian National Exhibition IMS announced and is being acclaimed by horsemen as the most important race meeting of its kind in Canada this season. Offering an aggregate of 53,500 in purses, its outstanding features are the two futurity races .in. augurate dby the Canadian Standard - bred Society and haviug respective guarantee dvalues of 53,000 and 52,000. The two futurities, one for three-year- old trotters and the other for three - yea -old pacers, will be contested on Wednesday, September 5th, with the 2.10 pace, thus making a feature of- fering that will be witnessed at no other race meeting In Canada this year. Th °balance of the program is de- voted to class races of uniform value of $500 ad provides for trotter's and Pacers whose eligibility range from the 2.30 class down to the 2.10 pacers: The entire program is being raced under the rules of the Dominion Har- ness Horse Association and the elig- ibility of horses intended for racing at this meeting may be obtained from Mr. Charles Snow, 331 Brock Avenue, Toronto.

The etassi0cation of the "Nation' al's" feather and fur department has always bean r'egar'ded by the breeders as a comprehensive oue, This year, however, i.t has been extended by rho addition of breeding display pans, eales classes, juvenile sections and a fanciers' egg department. The prem» ium money throughout the numerona caissea is on the same Munificent scale as has been offered at "National" shows heretofore. Nothing in the way of attracting and encouraging breeders of all classes of stock has been overlooked by the management, and a record en- try in all sections in recognition of the painstaking efforts made is confi- deutly anticipated. The Canadian National Exhibition management has accomplished many wonderful achievements in the past in their pre -show publications but the prize list compiled for "Empire Year," 1929, overshadows all previous offorta.
