LOADS OF LONELINESS.
Thousands of Ladies at tho ExPos1-
ton in spite of Bad Weather.
Doings OF Ladies' Day--NeXt Weeks
Programme. aw

Yesterday was Ladies' day at the Expo
sition. The weather was decidedly bad for
that exhibition of apparel for which ladies
usually take pleasure in venturing out. and
it was feared a small attendance would re-
suit. But the sweet feminine mind is per-
verse, if nothing else. and the result was
that all day long the huge building was
filled with representatives or the Flour CitY
fair Exhibitors laid themselves out 70 give
the ladies fitting reception, and sent thou
sands OF them home laden with beautiful
and unique souvenirs Some of tl.sse in
geniOusly devised advertising schemes were
beautiful and elaborate affairs AMI were
eagerly sought and carried off by the ladies
and children. The Mexican band II ndercd
some special music, and all day lons had
large, attentive and appreciative audience.
The ''Star Spangled Banner was rendered
in the evening, and was received with up
roarious applause. The day as whole
was so successful that another Ladies' day
will be given further along in the season.
RECEPTION TO sERGT. BRA1NERD,
the Arctic explorer. and one of the Greedy
survivors, was given in the afternoon and
evening AS has been stated, he is the
guest of VIM. Bradford, the painter of the
Arctic scenes which occupy the second
room in the art gallery. The reception
took place i'll this room and, with the vivid
paintings of the scenes of his exploits, the
spot was Singularly appropriate. Mr..
Bradford assisted in the reception, which
was entirely informal and presented the
hundreds of visitors who came in. Both
gentlemen seem never to tire talking of the
wonderland which has been the sepulchre
of so many brave fellows. and there was
yesterday no lack of interested auditors. A
second reception took place in the evening.
Sergt. Brainerd is handsome, stalwart
young fellow, of athletic build and bold,
daring look, and the ladies were quite will
ing to lionize him TO any extent. He will
return, in day or two, to his home at
Marathon, n. Y.
