Dear Sirs:

     We have served as counsel to the American Stock Exchange and PDR Services
Corporation as Sponsor (the "Sponsor") of MidCap SPDR Trust Series 1
(hereinafter referred to as the "Trust") in connection with the offering of
units of fractional undivided interest in such Trust (hereinafter referred to as
the "MidCap SPDRs").

     We have examined instruments, documents, and records which we have deemed
relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In
such examination, we have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of
original documents and genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; and (c) the truth,
accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties
contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have
reviewed.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the MidCap SPDRs
offered by the Sponsor were legally issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2
promulgated under the Investment Act of 1940, as amended.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                         /s/ Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
