Last night the Young ladies' or the
Minneapolis School of Physical Culture
were the attraction at the Exposition.
1t was not very definitely understood
just when the performance was to take
place, and as to what it was to con-
sist of, or how many young ladies
were to take part. every one was IN
the dark. In consequence, a large
audience secured seats about the stage
early in the evening, and waited. the
number increasing meanwhile, till late
in the evening. At last the door at the
rear OF the stage opened and six young
ladies in dark-blue blouse and knicker-
bockers, black stockings and high
shoes. came marching down upon the
platform, accompanied by mu-
stefan to furnish them with
music from the piano. for time.
They were are ali straight. well devel-
oped looking girls. with bright faces,
their hair fastened close to weil-poised
heads and firm. spTightly steps that be-
spoke something of the athlete Taking
their place at intervals on the platform,
they began by simple arm and hand eX-
ercises, tapping Of the chests, throwing
back of the shoulders. Bending eXer-
by leg and foot exercises, all III time
making pretty exercise. The exercise
with the rod was next in order and the
young ladies showed a remarkable de-
gree of lithenrss and agility in the way
they manipulated it. 1t was the club
swinging in which they showed the
greatest amount Of dizziness. however.
and showed an endurance that was
gained by no other mode than long prao-
tice. The young ladies were in con-
slant motion for fully half an hour, the
lastten minutes of which was consumed
in swinging the clubs. 1t would have
exhausted any man not in training. but
the Young ladies went off the stage with
steps that gave 10 evidence of fatigue,
but did show. though. that they were
glad the performance was over with.
The class consisted of twenty-five
Young ladies from the best OF families,
and there was some modesty on their
parts in coming on at all. The attend
ance yesterday was l0,S4l. The early
part of the day was given TO the orphans,
who were given a warm Wlcome by
Reagan Bros, who furnished lunch for
80 little ones from the following aSy-

To-DAY'S MUSIC.
Col. lines programme for to-day, es-
pecially the evening selections, IS more
of the classical and less of the popular
order than many that he has pre-
sented, and lovers of the masters, will
be more than pleased with some Of the
Numbers.
