were read and acted on, after which the bust
ness meeting was ended and preparations be-
gun for the business of the evening. During
the day members of various societies through
out the state kept arriving on all trains. The
different classes marched from the depot to
the hall, headed by the society band. Many
of them visited places OF interest around the
city, while others sat in the shade and dis

THE EVENING PAGEANT.
"Oh, what night it wasv'
Since the halcyon days of ice palaces and
other frigid things, when the whole North
west seemed to grow daft and let itself
loose, nothing like last night has been seen
here and it is safe to say that nothing similar
will be witnessed until similar convention

Minneapolis with Its presence. Several hours
before the time set for the procession to
move the streets along the line of march were
packed with people of all ages, colors and
conditions. About 9 O'clock Mayor Ames
and Col. Glenn stepped upon the balcony Of

them to call on him if anything was needed
to render their stay here more agreeable
During the applause Col. Glenn stepped to
the front and convulsed the audience with q
few remarks, remarks that only the jolly
friend OF the people can make.
The crowd would have listened to them all
night, but the marshals formed the line and
the procession moved down Washington ave-
hue amid the cheers of the crowd. The

All along the line Of march the sidewalks
were blocked. The streets also. In vain the
drivers of hacks and carriages raved and
tore around. 1t would have been as easy to
drive through a stone house as through that
crowd of enthusiastic sight-seers. On the
corner of Hennepin and Washington avenues
