Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-08-30

A GLOBE reporter visited the exposition
grounds yesterday afternoon and found every
thing as busy beehive in clover field
About 100 ladies and misses were
engaged in preparing the decorations,
while small army of men were employed in
putting them in position. 1t seemed to the
GLOBE man that the work of decoration was
delayed, and would be found in an uncom-
pleted condition on Monday morning next I'M
less an additional force is put to work. The
superintendents scarcely to realize the
immensely of the work yet before thrm, but
with vim and energy all may yet be got into
order.
Every lady in the city who is willing to as
sist in decorating will be conveyed to the
grounds free of charge by being at the Nicollet
house this morning at o'clock.
IOWA EXCURsIoNIsTs.
Yesterday Scrap Iron Bill" of Iowa, made
an arrangement for an excursion of 600 people
from the vicinity of Monona, Iowa.
They were assigned acceptable, quar-,
tiers for the entire week, and
will come and stay regardless of wind and
weather. Applications have been made to the
reception committee for more than 1000 per-

which attend to their own applications without
assistance from the committee.

side the agricultural building and facing the
track were placed on sale at the Office of the

able seats on the track.
