Some Notes and Comments.
Manager Palmer, of the Exposition, is
now summing himself in the palmy land
of Florida and arranging for a grand
display of the varied industries of that
state. The Florida show will be most
likely displayed on the ground floor,
around the fountain, in whose placid
pool will float alligators and other mon
sters indigenous TO the river st.
John. The business of the Exposition
is becoming quite active, and Secretary
Byron and Assistant Manager Field
have their hands full all the time. The
cry now is for space, space, space"
and coming as it does from the most
unexpected quarters, gives a good deal
of satisfaction from the fact that it
shows how we'll the big show has been
advertised.
Col. Gore, the shadow of his former
corporosity, will arrive in few weeks
and again preside over the advertising
destinieS of the greatest show on earth.
The colonel has divided his attentions
the past few months between directing
the fortunes of a circus through Iowa
acting as book agent-and writing adj
under the nom de plume of Lu b. Cake,
so he will bring to bear upon his arduous
duties here a wealth of knowledge
when he once gets started.
Upon Mr.. Byron's desk yesterday
afternoon lay an envelope, one of the
square. fashionable kind. 1t was post
marked Washington, and in the left
ha nd corner was stamped in blue colors
Executive mansion" A second glance
revealed the neat and graceful chirOgra-
ply of Mrs. Cleveland, and, of course,
great interest centered around that Oh
ject, and ''handle with care" was the
order of the day. The letter was adj
dressed to Minneapolis lady, and it is
presumed is in reference to the grand
show of WOmen's work that will be a
special feature Of this years exposi-
ton.
The plan of several well-known firms,
PRESENTING PRIZES
for competition, has been taken I'D in
earnest already and up to date the fol-
lowing enterprising gentlemen have en-
tered themselves:
George Vetter, handsome sealskin
cloak for the most popular saleslady in
the city; Eustis Bros, gold watch and
chain: Altman & Co., first-claSs suit of
clothes for the father of the largest
family present on ''Old Settlers day."
w. S. Mott & Co., gold plate trumpet to
the most popular city fireman; Man
ager Sterling, Peoples theater, gold
medal to the best scholar in the public
schools.
Arrangements have been made for a
complete and thorough exhibit of an en-
tirely new industry, which is really
something very interesting called the
manufacture of featherbone. The
work is carried OH at the little village of
Three Oaks, in Michigan, and employs
hundreds of hands. Featherbone is
used in the making of corsets, whips
and many other articles.
The question of having a grand
parade on the opening of the exposition
representing in colossal shape the in
dustries and beauties of Minneapolis, is
being agitated in earnest, and would
certainly be grand way to present to
strangers all the glories Of the Flour
City.
The new Autographs for this year are
completed and they are very handsome
In design. Thousands of these in few
days will food the land and announce
to a waiting and expectant public the
fact that the Minneapolis Industrial
Exposition for 1883 will surpass all other
