THE AUDITORIUM.
ment of the convention these recorders
of events, and its magic messengers on
either hand are the seats of the national
committee. Above this central point of
the convention, this seat of the presiding
genius, dependent from the ceiling-itself
vast semi-dome made up of harmonious
arrangements Of the sister colors of the
great republic, red, white, and blue, and
intermingling electric stars of light,
proudly stands forth the great shield of
the United States. This shield, its hori-
Eon of stars, its stripes of union-all are
pictured out, put in basso relieve of
light made up of variously colored cleo
trio jets. From the sides Of this, extend
ing over the whole hall, widthwise of the
platform front, are the national colors,
ranged in fretwork of strIpes-the en-
bodiment of the nation reposing in the
luxury of peace. The great space Of the
platform, with its galleried rear, its
stretching canopy of colors, its great
shield, its roof illumined with hundreds
of electric spots of lights, is the altar
scene of the panoramic distance that
first strikes the eye Of the spectator as
he energies from the dimly lighted,

Thanking the front portion of the plat

in fact, but small in comparison with
their expansive surroundings.
These are the boxes for the lucky ones,
the wives and daughters of the delegates,
and are fragrant with beauty's presence.
All these vantage grounds of sight are
made snug by wealth OF drapery. Be-
meath the lower one of these snug cor

A COMMERCIAL WELCOME.

The millions of yards of bunting and
acres Of flags which lined the principal
streets were divided into two distinct
schemes of decoration-for patriotism
and for revenue only. The latter scheme,
being designed purely as an investment,
is considerably the more elaborate and
does infinite credit to the commercial en-
terprise of the town. A certain corner
of Madison and Clark streets furnishes
beautiful illustration. 1t exhausts the
stock of the professional decorators, as
to variety, if not quite as to quantity,
and displays endless collections of po-
litical devices and patriotic emblems. 1t
misleads visitors from rural neighbor
hoods, and they are hard to convince
that what they behold is not the head
quarters Of the national committee.
Chicagoans passing by glance at the huge
flags tiuttering from every window, and
word welcome in large letters, smile,

A Highly Pleasing Musical Event
1.-The Juveniles Create Aston
ishment.
The Grand opera house last night was
the scene of as fashionable gathering
as ever assembled in Minneapolis to
witness musical event. The occasion
was concert given under the direction
OF Prof. Carl Lachmund, the well known
musician. The leading feature of the
entertainment, and what was the great
drawing card of the event, was
the admirable work of the juve
nile musicians. Little girls and
boys one would hardly think
could obtain a sufficient knowledge of
music and render selection in cred
liable manner, drew out enthusiastic
applause from the cultured audience
by their commendable execution. The
most amusing happening was the trio
Edna Matson and Master Doutin. They
were all very small and about the same
height, and make cute appearance as
they marched Oh and Off the stage.
After an encore they were called back
and made a response in the way of
bow, that brought down the house. The
violin solo by Miss Wagner, accompa-
MED by the well-known SOloists, Ring
wall, clarionet: Freeman. flute; Strach-
mer, cello: Seeman. violin: Bahamas,
viola, and Lachmund. piano, was
the principal number, unsteady. on
the programme. The numerous selec-
tons rendered by the entire juvenile
orchestra were eXcellently executed,
and reflect great credit upon Prof.
Lachmund as an instructor. Master
~ &c hl
best boy violin Soloist in the Northwest,
made great hit by his rendition of a
popular serenade. The programme con-
cluded with
A SHORT ADDRESS

consideration it was one of the most
successful musical entertainments of
the season. Every seat and box in the
house was occupied, and the upper gal
lery which is usually occupied by the
gods" were filled with ladies in full
dress. MIR. Lachmund is highly pleased
with the generous patronage that the
public extended, and will take it
as a signal of their appreciation
of his successful work. The names

MAKING A RECORD.
Judge Hicks Again Ignores Prece
dents in the Gambling Cases.

The friends of Judge Hicks, who have
been trying to defend his action in let
ting the gamblers off with fine, were
in remarkable good humor yesterday,
owing to the change in the judges de-
meanor toward the gentlemen of the
green cloth. When county attorney
Davis moved to nolle the cases against
the rest of the gamblers yesterday, he
received rebuff something as his
friend WOrrel did couple of weeks ago
when he moved to have the cases
dismissed, because the witness Forrest
could not be found. The county attor-
ney stated TO the court that he did not
have sufficient evidence to convict the
parties under Indictment and therefore
thought it best to nolle the cases.
"The court does not feel warranted in
Diminishing these cases." said Judge
Hicks. "There was evidence intro
duced on the former trial that points
Enthusiastically to the guilt of some of
these parties"
81 have intimated what would like
to do, replied the county attorney.
al nd the court refuses to dismiss
these cases." replied Judge Hicks, with
considerable energy.
Il have nothing further to suggest
them" replied the county attorney,
smiling blandly.
Mr.. Davis" said Judge Hicks,
"there are two cases in which the evil
dence did not seem sufficient to convict.
The court will say to you frankly that
in those cases we would be willing to
accept a 'nolle.' They are the eases
against Flanagan and Shaw, who were
indicted for dealing at faro. The court
won't discuss any case where the evil
dence shows clearly that the defendant
was the keeper Of gambling device, as
it does i'll the case of Blake"
At this point Mr.. Benton and WOrral,
attorneys for the different defendants,
took hand in the discussion. Mr..
Worrall said he had been assured by
the county attorney that these cases
would be dismissed to-day and he was
not prepared to go to trial.
1t was finally settled that the case
against doc" Noble should be contin-
ued until next Monday and the other
cases should come on for trial Thursday
morning.

The Sisters Hospital Fair.

Archbishop Ireland was in the city
yesterday for few hours to ascertain
the progress in matters pertaining to
the Sisters hospital fair, which opens

Moran, of the immaculate Conception,
