The neat manuscript notes list all the band performances he managed to catch through the year of festivities including John Philip Sousa conducting his popular marching band; the Philippine Constabulary Band which had originally played in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair and whose performances at the PPIE proved very popular including 1 conducted by Sousa; and the Marimba Band “of Honduras” which was actually the Hurtado Brothers Royal Marimba Band the official Guatemalan Representatives at the PPIE who performed standing room only and wildly popular packed concerts; as well as the U.S. Marine Corps Band Arizona 1st Infantry Band St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum Band Oakland School Band and more. He was also actively interested in the aerial shows performed at the PPIE featuring flights by pioneering aviators four of whom would not see 1917 as Silas Christofferson 1890-1916 perhaps best remembered for his dramatic leap off of the roof of the Multnomah Hotel in downtown Portland; Lincoln Beachey 1887-1915 who drowned while performing loop aerial maneuvers in a test Beachey-Eaton Monoplane crashing into San Francisco Bay in front of the PPIE crowd; Art Smith 1890-1926 who replaced Beachey and pioneered sensational aerial displays with fireworks and magnesium flares over the night skies; Charles Niles 1868-1916 who performed with Petrossi only to die a year later in OshKosh WI; and finally the Paraguayan daredevil Silvio Petrossi 1887-1916 noted for his illuminated night flights as well and even survived a crash in San Francisco Bay only to die in 1916.
