his reception by his subjects Of st. Paul,
of Duluth, lord high chancellor; John
J. Rhodes, of Hastings, lord high cham
berlain; Senator Henry Keller, of Sank
Center, chancellor of the eXchequer, and
Judge Lars NJ. Rand, of Minneapolis,
keeper of the great seal. The statement
In some other papers that the regal
party would be composed of the King
and Queen of the Carnival and their re-
tinue, was not so. The Queen of Win
ter as it should be, does not appear on
Wednesday at the reception, and the
five floats will be occupied by the king
and his four high officials only. The
kings chariot will be drawn by six white
horses in harnesses of frost. His majeS-
tvs chariot will apparently be formed
of blocks of ice from the Arctic regions.
Behind him will be an antelope and be-
fore him mountain goat. Two bear
cubs will gambOl at his feet. His
majesty Will appear as viking inregal
robes of silver, ermine and frost. The
chariot of the lord high chancellor will
be drawn by two horses tandem; that of
the lord high chamberlain by two
abreast; that of the chancellor of the
eXcheQuer by four in hand, and that of
the keeper of the great seal by four
abreast. The twenty-eight polar bears
and the two cubs, who will drive the
horses and guard the chariots, will ar
rive to-day. They were captured on
the last Arctic expedition.
The lady who is the Queen of Winter
is Miss Nina Smith, daughter of Mayor
Robert A. Smith. the lady who laid the
corner stone of the palace of King BO-
reals. Her majesty will appear to her
subjects upon the day devoted to the
prize parade of floats, Tuesday, the 2lSt,
and she will be accompanied by the
ladies of her court. This will be a very
pretty feature of the parade. A float
will be provided especially for her.
President Thompson telegraphed to
Col. Tom Lowry. of Minneapolis, last
night that if he would have the cable
running in time he could have the ap-
pointment of the Fire King. General
Manager W. Avian Slyke is in favor of
selecting Senator Marcus johnson, of
Atwater, to imperSOnate the Fire King
at the first stOrming, and Mayor AmeS,
of Minneapolis, to be Fire King at the
second Storming upon Minneapolis day.

free-for-all race has many entries,
several clubs being represented. 1t will
be a gO-as-yOu-please race to Manchester

routes. The snowShOerS do not seem to
understand that to get into race it is
necessary to enter at once.
The line of exhibition for the equip
age display Thursday will be along
Summit avenue, as it is believed this is
the best driveway. The display will
last from $50 to 3: 80 p. m. TO give the
judges an opportunity, the equipages
will leave Summit at $3.50 and drive
down by way of Sixth, Oak, Fifth, st.
Peter, Third, Sibley, Sixth and Mime
sofa to the palace grounds. The judges
will be stationed at the grounds. After
the inspection the equipages will leave
the palace and go down Minnesota to
Third street.
The Mardi-Gras upon Third street,
mBridge square to Sibley, will be
the true carnival feature of the Carni-

The Ice King was in the city in a
purely civil capacity yesterday.
Wednesday evening he will distribute
the patents of nobility among his ia
vored subjects.
The statuary around the Bridge
square electric mast is nearing compile
ton. A hollow octagOn tower is going
up around the mast. Upon the base a
statue of the Ice King will look down
Third street, and a polar bear will face
mated at night.
To stimulate interest in the minds of
the juvenile portion of the community,
an industrial art school has been estab-
lished upon the palace grounds, at
which Prof. e. r. Zeitner will give les
sons in ice sculpture to children. A
model will be surrounded by blocks of
ice, and the children will chiSel upon
these blocks, the one getting the near
est copy of the model to get the prize.
At the leading hotels the clerks in
