enough to satisfy even an alderman's stom-
ach.
Next to this was a canopy supplied with
chairs, where tho weary might find rest.
Then came the grand tent, under which
Governor P;llsbury had provided q repast
for the distinguished visitors and the men,
bers of the Historical society Under this
largo canopy WAS fifteen tables arranged in
circular form. The tent was tastefully dec
GRATED with the rational colcrs and ever
green's, and the tables were adorned with q
profusion of flowers, presenting picture of
great beauty. Under this canvas the Governor
received and feasted his friends after the
formal exercises were over. Never before

accounts OF oil there was to be seen and
done on the grounds The imagination of
the reader must supply tho deficiency. 1t is
sufficient to say that the citizsns OF Mimi
eapolis, both in their private and corporate
capacity, dispenseda boundless hospitality on
the occasion, and oil, the many thousands
present, went away satisfied that it was good
for them to be the G.
