Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1881-09-10

Thursday morning the GLOBE announced
that with fair weather the exposition so dis
astrously commenced on account of the rain,
would end in a blaze of glory. Yesterday was
| almost perfect day, and the consequence was
that between thirty and thirty-five thousand
people ilocked to the grounds to see the rich
programme of events offered for this enjoy
ment-the great amphitheatre, 100 feet over a
quarter of mile in length, being twO-thirds
full, while the track on each side
was lined with dense throng of
spectators for at least half It's
length in the opposite direction of the amphi-
theatre. Two bands of music, one in the band
stand, and the other about midway to the
amphitheatre, furnished music at intervals
during the afternoon.
The Judges of the racing events were Col.
King, Capt. Bart Atkins and Col. Funk, with
Col. Armstrong and B. 8. Lovejoy as timers,
and w. L. MintZer as starter, all OF whom per-
formed their duties most acceptably.
The programme was carried out without a
hitch, exec pt as to the balloon ascensions of
Prof Rulison and Mile Carlotta, which was
prevented by the strong wind blowing.
