Another Minneapolis Day.

1t is desired that the concluding week
shall receive the largest attendance of
the Exposition if possible, and especially
upon Friday, second Minneapolis day,
and with this view the following adj
dress has been issued:
To the Public: The Minneapolis In
dustrial Exposition, now nearing the
close of its third annual exhibition, has
without doubt materially benefited
every line of trade and industry repre-
scented in the city of Minneapolis.
1t has been a pronounced success
from the start, and has every year made
some money aside from the general
public benefits which it has conferred
upon the city of Minneapolis and the
Northwest in general. There is every
prospect now that, if the last week
of the present Exposition can
be made the thorough success that it
should be, that the institution will be
practically out of debt, with POSSIBLE
ity of sufficient surplus remaining TO
pay small dividend. That this is a de-
sirable thing to do all will admit, and
we accordingly ask every citizen OF
Minneapolis to unite with us in making
the closing week notable one in the
history of the Exposition.
and others will be asked to close their
respective places of business on Friday
next and attend the Exposition Ell
maSse. 1t is also requested that they
purchase tickets for all their employees,
and that they will use every effort
to have the attendance during
the last few days of the Expo
sitiOn large enough to be fully worthy
of the city of Minneapolis, which has
never yet failed to respond when called
upon. (Signed) w. ID. Washburn, B.

The following houses have already
signified their intention to close at II m.
Friday-Minneapolis day-the big boom
day at the Exposition, Minneapolis
week: Dodson, Fisher & Broekman, j.
Jannev, Sample & Co., S. E. Olson q
Co., D. NJ. Gilmore Furniture company.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
D. NJ. Gilmore, w. E. Steele, w. J.
Dean, A. j. Blethen, 7. B. Janney, S.
E. Olson, George A. Bracket, E. A.
Merrill, G. r. Chute and E. r. Barber
was appointed at Wednesdays meeting
of the directors to make thorough can
vass of the business houses, and solicit
them to buy Exposition tickets and close
their places of business Friday next,
the 2Stb inst, at noon, in order TO give
their employees an opportunity to visit
the Exposition and make it big boom
day in all that the word implies. As
the names of parties who express a will
ingness to close up on that day are
given to the above committee they will
be published in the daily papers, and
those whom the committee does
not reach will confer a favor
by sending their names to Secre-
tary and Treasurer Byrne in order
that they may be published with the
others. While the Exposition has been
a success, it is not due to the people of
Minneapolis that it is so. The country
has responded more literally than here
tOfore, the receipts of railroad tickets
being far in excess of previous years.
Thus it behooves the residents Of the
Flour City to turn out this week, the
last of the big show, and evidence by
their presence their appreciation of the
superb Exposition that has been pro-
vided them by the exhibitors and the
directors.
