beautiful lawn city, is wearing her most
charming attire, and decked out in her Ex-
position robes, with banners flying, bunting
waving and streets cleaning, she will be
more attractive than ever.

velvet, with scarcely fence to mar their
beauty; her grand boulevardS and delightful
drives around the shores of her beautiful
lakes; her glorious autumn weather, with
bright, sunny days, and nights clear and
cool; her Falls of st. Anthony. constantly
turning the wheels of the giant mills, that
are the pride of all Minneapolitans and the
wonder of the world; her magnificent hotels,

peers of and in the universe; her energetic,
ambitious citizens, have all combined to

surprise and delight to her thousands of
visitors.

brains are always alert, to contribute, to
work and to plan, for the good of their

and determinations; living down injuries

day and night will continue to succeed each
other.
