tion.-NOtes and announcements.
Yesterday at the Exposition was dedi-
Gated to Dakota, and although Gov. Pierce
and his staff were not present, there was
generous representation of the citizens OF
Fargo, Jamestown, Grand Forks, Wheat
land, and even Bismarck. Rochester, Mimi,
also furnished large delegation, and there
were large numbers from Iowa, besides the
usual quota of visitors from Minneapolis
and ST. Paul. The attendance was about
eight thousand, which seems to be the set
tied average attendance for the past TIVE
weeks. How satisfactory this attendance
is can be judged from the fact that the at
tendance at the Minneapolis exposition
was larger than at the Chicago
exposition, although the city by the lake
has population of 700. 900 to draw upon.
While the temptation to continue the Ex-
position another month is very strong, in
view of the increasing popularity, the di-
rectorS have formally resolved to close at
the nOur named, and next week will be
positively the last.
SECOND ST. PAUL DAY.
To-day should bring an immense throng
of visitors. Special trains will be run to
the citizens of the SANITY City have been
cordially invited. The double wedding
takes place this evening. Col. Hubbard,
the general manager. who is a Reformed
Baptist minister, will officiate. His certif-
cate of ordination was yesterday received
from the Vermont village in which he used
to preach. The ceremony will take place
on the platform in front of the cathedral
organ, which will play wedding march
as the contracting parties appear. After
the words which unite for better or for
worse have been spoken there will be a
grand salute from the fire whistle chime,
the machinery will start, and the Mexican
band will burst out in the joyous strains OF
some grand production.
THE PRESENTS
for the bridal couples keep pouring in from
the exhibitors. Already enough silverware
has been contributed to supply several
large sized families. The Field
manufacturing company yesterday
sent in a handsome diamond ring and a
pair of bracelets. The Gilmore Furnitu re
company contributed a set of handsome
chairs. and Blum, the jeweler, sent in a
handsome set of Brazilian diamonds, and
numerous minor contributions of perfumery,
soap. crackers and household articles were
received. The happy couples have both
taken out their licenses but their names
| have as yet been withheld from publica-
ton by Col. Hubbard, who jealousy guards
his secret, even from the lady assistants in
the general office.
NOTE AND COMMENT.
The experiment of placing chairs close to
the railing about the light well was tried yes
terday and was eminently satisfactory in its
results in shutting off the people who insist
on standing up in front.
When the ladies visit the ''Pride of Damas-
Gus" booth, in the rear of the big organ, they
should ask the attendant to show some of his
hidden treasures.
Col. Gore yesterday went to Duluth to per-
sonally extend an invitation to the mayor and
officials of Duluth to visit the Exposition on
Monday.
The Mexican band yesterday played new
waltz composed by Prof. GarZan and dedi-
Gated to the ladies Of Minneapolis.
An exhibitor yesterday contributed box
of assorted tackS for the bridal couples to
put down their carpets with.
William Bradford, artist, will probably be
asked to lecture upon his experience in the
Arctic regions.
The elevator is doing an immense business
and is generally crowded to its utmost ca
pacity.
The board of directors will hold meeting
this morning at IL o'clock.
