MAYOR'S DAY.

                              October 10, 1898.

       The mayors of the principal cities throughout the west had been  
invited to attend and participate in the exercises.  Many were present,   but
with the usual modesty of these distinguished officials, but few had   accepted
the invitation to participate in the exercises as speakers.  The   exercises
were held in the Auditorium at 11 o'clock A.M. with the   following program:

                    Music     .    .    .    Omaha Concert Band.

Exposition Grounds, and the grand illumination of   fireworks in the evening.
