THE EXPOSITION CLOSES.
An Enormous Crowd in Attend
ance LAST Night.

ance Last Night.
The fourth annual Industrial EXPOSE
ton of Minneapolis drew to close last
night with an enormous crowd in at
tendance, and q. 364 people visited dur
Ing the day. Every floor of the big
building was packed with people.
The attendance was made up
for the most part of Minneapolis
people, and it was an interested
aggregation of people. Many of them
were DrOcraStinatOrS who had put Off
seeing the big show until the last
moment, and discovered after entering
the doors that there was something IN
town worth seeing. so they were intent
On seeing it all in the few hours that re-
manned. The special attraction OF the
evening was the swimming race be-
tween N. +. Boice and Gilbert l.. Byron
in the big pool. The two young men
were clad in Capt. Boyton's swimming
suits. and it was their first trial III the
cumbrous armoT. For this reason
they were the very personifcation of
awkwardness, and were the more anus
ing. When they came out upon the
platform in the pool Boyton'S men
filled the rubber suits with air. and
then helped them launch out. Very
cautiously they sat down on the brink
and slid out into the water, and with
much eXertiOn on their part and on the
part of their helpers they were headed
for the race. and then given the word,
and amid the shouts of the spectators
they splashed across the pool and
back. In the second bout they
heightened the fun by using paddles.
In both heats Young Byron was winner.
Both of the gentlemen have been in the
employ of the Exposition during the
season. Mr.. Byron is one of the gen
eral managers, and Mr.. Boyce the lead
ing photographer of Hastings.
During the first part of the musical
programme in the evening Manager
Byron presented F. n. Innes with an
elegant badge, the present of the board
of directors. The badge consisted of
two gold bars attached by golden chains
and Tyre suspended from the lower
one. The upper bar of gold, which was
especially heavy, bore the name OF f.
n. lines, the Second Minneapolis Expo
Sition. The Tyre was delicately en-
graved and was set with diamond sur
rounded with a crescent of pearls. Mr..
Byron made a very becoming speech
and presented with the pin the follow
ing resolutions, which Mr.. Innes ap-
peared to appreciate equally with the
gold medal:
MINNEAPoLIs, Sept. %, 1ss9-Mr. F. NJ
Innes: In Pursuance of instructions re-
ceived at the meeting of the board OF dlrec
tors held Sept. %, 1889. it affords me great
pleasure to submit herewith the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the hearty thanks of this
board be and the same is hereby extended to
F. n. Innes for his services during the fourth
.,o1S ,,s1tr rio1 0vn n hinnPann-
lis. 1t being the deliberate judgment of this
board that the concerts given by Mr.. lnnes
and his famous Thirteenth regiment band OF
New York have never been equaled for per
lection either in ensemble or solo playing
by any musical organization heretofore in
Minneapolis, and that to this fact is due in
no small degree the magnificent financial
showing of the present season.
Resolved, That the thanks of this board
be and the same are hereby rendered to the
members of lines band for their gentle
manly department, uniformly polite de-
meanor and prompt. willing fulhllment of
their duties: and be it further
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions,
publicly presented to Mr.. lines next Satur-
day evening, Sept. 29, 1889;
lSignedl w. G. Dyer.
Secretary and General Manager.
The musical programme was an I'M
usually good one and was listened to by
a very full audience. 1t went to make
the grand finale of the Exposition sea-
son a memorable occasion.
Manager Byron said that it would be
impossible to give accurate figures in re-
gard to the financial condition of the
Exposition for several days. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 paid entrances of
visitors have been made at the EXPOSE
ton during the season. This would be
an average daily attendance of about
1888. which is surely good for show
that runs for thirty consecutive days.
Although General Manager Bynum
has handed in his resignation from the
position of manager, he will in all prob
ability retain the position of secretary.
His resignation has not yet been acted
upon, and it is possible Will not be &C
copied.
Col. Cove. who has an interest in the
Occidental Oil company, will be resi-
dent manager of the concern. OF
course. the Exposition could not run
without the colonel another year, and
he will doubtless be part of the show
for 1890.
Innes' band goes Immediately to Sault
Ste. Marie, where it will give series
of concerts.
Prof. Clausen will take tour with
his wonderful panorama through the
Eastern states. 1t has proved draw
ing card at the Exposition, and will
doubtless be very popular.
