Immense Crowds in Attendance Last Even
ing-Visit from Minneapolis Delegation
The Voting for the Prizes.
Last evening was red letter night for
the fair at Armory hall. Notwithstanding
the hall is large one it was packed full of
people, and what was better than all,
everybody seemed to have brought
their money with them, and
with their money disposition
to SPEND it freely. Everything was well
patronized Around each of the booths was
continually cluster of people, as fast as
one gathering moved away another took
its place, so that there was no cessation in
the display and sale of all varieties of ar
ticles.
THE MINNEAPOLIS DELEGATION.
About o'clock two companies of the
militia came down from Minneapolis
in a special train and marched
up to the armory building where
the fair is held. They we're met at the de-
pot by squad from companies D
and E, who escorted the visitors to the hall,
where for several hours they participated
in the social pleasures and enioyments of
the occasion.
MISCELLANEOUS SCRAPS.
All the ladies in the various booths had
made little extra exertion last evening
in the way of costumes, and had
added one or two more "bangs"
| l. r50 S
in the left hand corner of their hair, and
every bow knot was little larger and a
little more cute than ever before. Every
lady seemed to be determined to please
and be pleased. For several hours the
immense mass of people surged back and
forth and swarmed first around one booth
and then another, and the music stand
where Seibert's orchestra rem
dered some of the pleasantest
and most popular selections. Meanwhile
the voting was going on with animation at
all the voting stands. Altogether it was
| the largest, best natured and pleasantest
gathering that ST. Paul has seen for long
time. About IL o'clock the Minneapolis
boys took their departure for the train
amid the cheers of their comrades in arms,
who were very reluctant to part with
them.
