Saturday night the railway ticket Office

st. Paul and Venice!

st. Paul and Venice!
The sentence looks nice in print, and
both cities are right in line, though a
few thousand leagues apart.
st. Paul reminds one of Venice, not
because it is so different, but because of
last nights entertainment.
Most of you have read of the wonder
full street carnivals and grOtesque pro-
cessions in Venice, from which sprung
that sweet song entitled, 1.-The Carnival
of Venice" and not few of you have
reveled in the desire to go abroad and
see them. Perhaps you didn't think
then that st. Paul would be the Ameri-
can Y enice, but it is. Don't go abroad!
Save your dollars! Iii few days peo-
pie of Venice will be reading of st. Paul
that which st. Paul people have often
read of Venice.
The Mardi Gras festival last night
was grand success, and st. Paul has
added another score to it's long list of
"world leaders," The people join the
GLOBE in saying that nothing of the
kind has ever been witnessed in any
city except st. Paul, on this side of the
seething brine. This was the newest
and greatest feature of the winter Car
'nlval, and will doubtless give it life for
another seasons run. People went wild
over it; for to see such sig hts and
actions in Winter, outside Of a ball

one from Fargo and two from Minneap-
oils the West. Thus these twenty-siX
rivals so divided were pitted one rink
of the East against one of the West, and
the side having the highest total score
was, of course, declared the winner, the
rink having the highest rink score of
the winning side getting the trophy and
four gold medals.
The West won the victory by a total
score of PA to 23S, and Mckechnie's
rink, of the Winnipeg Thistles had the
HIGHEST RINK SCORE
on the winning side, being 25 to 8
against Waupaea No. 3. This was not
the highest rink score OF the game.

of Third and Minnesota a band was sta

the MASTERS marched up and down the
Enclosures. The kind of costume that
was not there must have been in Venice,

Bunker Hill was nicely represented,

TO-DAY's BIG TURN OUT.
The Great Industrial Parade
Promises to Be the Finest Yet.

The industrial parade which takes
place this afternoon promises to be the
grandest of the street pageants so far
seen. Every feature representative of
st. Paul's growth and symmetrical i'm
portance will be in line. All the lead
ing trades industries and Commercial
interests of the city will IL ION

municipal bodies will swell the colirr,fi
to monster proportions. Some idea -
the immensely of this procession can be
gained when it is known that the CON-
mittees formed for the purpose of or
ganizing comprehend forty-nine whole
sale branches of trade, twenty-eight re-
tail and twenty-five special committees.
A novel and interesting feature of
the procession will be the appearance
of the first church that was ever erected
in st. Paul, and after which the city
was named. The old log church which
stood on Bench street, now Second
