Every one who was unfortunate enough to
be in Minneapolis yesterday is probably
aware that the weather was just about as wet,
drizziy and sultry as could well be, and must
nave been manufactured somewhere in the
far East and sent to Minneapolis as a gentle
reminder that the Flour City can't always
have the very best of everything Of course
the Exposition had to suffer with everything
else, and the various displays wore lone
some aspect all through the wet
dreary day, while the young ladies
who are wont to tire their faces by the IN
ceaslng smile they wear for the benent of
the male visitors, gave them a much needed
rest, for the simple reason that there was q
lack OF male visitors to smile at, and the ir-
repressible maidens therefore spent the most
OF their time in yawnlng matches, which
grew so animated that more than one section
of Malta, Tutti Frutti or Yucatan was
lost Ill the effort. The sedate and
SGmoer masens who hand out d R
d Co., commonly called chocolate had time
to sleep and take a much needed rest from
the long daily effort of trying to force
smile, which SO far has been productive of
rather slim results probably from the fact
that 1t is the drinkers who are supposed to
do all the smiling Even Doc" tina, speedy
canine, seemed to feel the effects of The
weather and trotted about the track in way
which showed that his heart was not in it.
Up to the present time the exposition has
been a wonderful success in. point of attend
ance, but it is also fact that must not be
lost sight of that up to date large amount
OF this same attendance has come from out
side the city. 1t now remains for the peonle
of Minneapolis to make the affair splendid
success. and they can do SO only by attending
the institution. A great many are wait
ing for the arrival of the Strauss Or
chestra. when they intend to come, but
at that time there will be little leisure for
seeing the various displays. 1t will be con-
slant study to hunt for an available seat, and
no time can be lost in paying attention to the
pretty sights when it is a feast for the ear
that is desired. These same people should
remember that it will take more than one
visit to see the show, and that the music will
be the more enjoyable when the nearer is
satisfied that he or she is familiar with
all the exhibits and is losing nothing by
quietly listening to the music. Certainly
enough has been written and SAID to con-
vince the Minneapolis public that the pres
ent one is the greatest Exposition that has
ever been given, and it is no more than
justice to have the people of the city turn
out In force and make the closing days of
the gigantic institution as great a success as
the opening weeks have been. There is not
the least doubt but what the public will be
equal to the occasion.
In the evening the attendance was far
above what was anticipated, large numbers

me special attraction for the evening was
the exercises of the Minneapolis Amateur
Athletic club, which took place on a clean
space of floor arranged on the opposite side
or the gallery 10 the band. A large audience
witnessed the feats OF strength and agility,
and the clever young fellows were greet
ed with round after round of APP

bell exercises, very fair act in tumbling by

heavy dumbell lifting by Charles Craigie
and j. Murphy was a fine exhibition of mus
cular strength. That which pleased the au-
dlence the most was the different bouts in
sparring. The boys showed themselves quite
scientific, and as they observed the best of
good nature tine contests were devoid of the
bad temper and hard hitting that too often
are part of such exhibitions. The club
should feel proud of the hearty reception
rendered it by the audience.

are hung from various posts on the different

result is very pleasing and the music trans
