THE BARBECUE.
A feature which will be something of
a novelty in the Northwest. and which
Will prove doubtless a very enjoyable
one, iS'the barbecue. Two beeVeS, one
of which has been donated by j. w.
Ortiz, Jr., and the other which has been
purchased, will be roasted whole, and
warm sandwiches of prime roast beef
will be served the people. Some idea
of the extent of the preparations
for the feast can be gained
from the fact that loo lOaveS of bread
have been purchased for the sand
wiches, twenty barrels of cider, and
twenty boxes of apples. The steers
were slaughtered yesterday at the
Union Transfer stock yards, and were
last night taken in charge by the Min
nesota Provision company and dressed
for the roasting. which begins
at 1 o'clock this morning. Two
pits were dug yesterday, each of
which were placed six cords of hard
wood. When the. wood becomes one
bed OF red-hot Goals the steers are
placed over them, resting upon strips of
railroad iron. 1t takes fourteen hours
in which to cook the meat thor
oughly, which will be ready to
be served at 6 o'clock this evening.
A procession will be formed at 7 80
O'Clock at the West hotel to escort the
speakers to the Milwaukee depot. p.
b. Winston and G. Toole will act as
marShals; Al Ortiz, Ed COnroy, Aid.
McArdle and E. B. Clements as aids.
The st. Paul delegation will arrive at
s O'Clock by a special train over the
Manitoba road, and will be escorted
from the union depot to the Milwaukee
depot to the grounds.
A cordial invitation to the entire pub
lie to join in the celebration, prospect
i've OF party affiliations. and ladies are
especially invited to attend. As the
process of cooking the beeves entire
will doubtless be interesting to many,
those who desire are invited to visit the
grounds during the day.
