Yesterday was great day ut the
exposition. The attendance was
the largest since the opening day,
reaching nearly 5000. The wealth
er, though threatening in the morn
ing, was beautiful during the after
noon, and the parade of veterans,
United States troops and National
guard awakened great enthusiasm
among the thousands Of spectators
along the line of march.
1t was u splendid occasion. 1t
made the heart of every citizen
swell with pride. Everyone felt
that the turning point had come In
the exposition. 1t was the first day
on which visitors were expected, and
they were here; here by hundre DIS
and by thousands.
To-day Is Tacoma day. 1t ought
to be another great success. Tacoma
has sent over fine delegation to as
sist in giving distinction to the oc-
casion. The zouaves from Tacoma
arrived last night and the members
of the Tacoma board Of trade are
expected on this mornings train.
Spokane Falls ought to be put OH
her mettle. The generous rivalry
that exists among the leading cities
of Washington will no doubt bear
fruit to-day In an exhibition of en-
thusiastic civility toward the Ta-
coma visitors and toward Tacoma
day.

elaborate programmey yet seen. Yes

nn opportunity of hearing this con-

organization, and can completely fill
