AS already stated last week, the
company travelled over Winona & st.
Peter and Minneapolis and st. Louis
railroads via Waseca. The bracing
air on Tuesday morning put the boys
in the best of spirits 1nd the four hours
ride to Waseca was pleasantly spent in
viewing the country, telling jokes,
singing songs, etc. The company was
accompanied as far as Kasota by L.
Felkel, Henry Keller, Jacob Hersheler
Mrs. w. Hauenstein, Mrs. Peter Her.

and several others, whose names have
escaped our memory, all bound for
Minneapolis to take in the greatest ex-
position ever held in the west. The
first stop of the company of any lenght
of time was made at Waseca where an
hour was spent, while waiting for the
train, in going through the various
marching exercises and the manual of
arms. Here the first details were
made and Gust. Peters was appointed
chief cook and Sam Baumgaertner as
sistant, and as the pleasing? informa-
ton had been impaired to us that we
would not reach Minneapolis until 7:45
p. m. they were dispatched to the city
on foraging expedition to procure
some lunch, while still another party
was sent out in quest of something
wet. Both parties returned with vic.
tory on their brows and everybody
felt jolly. When the train pulled up
to the depot platform our baggage and
ourselves were hustled into two new
cabooses which had been expressly
brought down from Minneapolis for
our accommodation. In the hurry to
get on the train the lunch was lost
sight of and nothing was thought of
it until we were speeding by and saw
it laying on the platform; then wall
went up and frantic jump was made
by all hands for the bell rope to stop
the train, but as the rope was only
fastened to the break on the outside
Of the caboose the attempt proved
futile and the boys finally drowned
their grief in some Minneapolis lager.
But even in this some difficulty was
experienced as Mic Heinen in his ef-
fort to tap the keg threw the key to
the faucet out of the car door and
not until nearly every key in the COM
pany was tried could the sparkling
beverage be made to flow. At Water.

was made to allow another train to

from this station nothing more of i'm.
portance occurred on the downward
trip and Minneapolis was reached at
7:45 p. m. On our arrival at the de-
pot we were met by Capt. Ames and
his excellent Zouave Corps and brass
band who escorted us to their armory
in the new Turner Hall, where, owing
to the lateness of the hour, we remain
ed during the night. Nothing was left
undone by Capt. Ames and his boys to
make our stay pleasant during the
night. The Turnverein also is en-
titled to our thanks for the numerous
courtesies extended us during our stay
in the city.

to the exposition ground was taken up,
where upon our arrival we were as.
signed camping grounds on the inside
of the enclosure. Three wall and three
A tents had been taken to the grounds
by Col. E. NJ. Van Cleve for our &C.
commodation and they were at once
pitched and the camp put into shape.
No sooner had we reacheh the grounds

drum corps to play for side show,
