Another big attendance seems to be
the burden of the cry at the Exposition
building every day. Although the day
was not specially propitious as regards
weather yesterday, the attendance dur
ing the afternoon was fairly large, and
when evening came the crowds began
to pour in again to glaaden the heart of
the management. The special attrac-
ton, of couse, was Prof. Reynolds
chorus of LOCO school children, and
it was pretty sight to see
the happy little faces that passed
through the turnstiles. Each one of the
little people had been provided with a
pass upon which is miniature photo
graph of their own bright faces. What
group a collection of these would
make for some gallery, and certainly no
other city could boast of such a pretty
lot of children. Whatever may be said
in regard to the beauty of Minneapolis
womankind, it is certain that In the
coming generation the city has some
thing to be proud of in that particular.
Looking from the gallery upon that
sea of happy young faces, ranged
clad in spotless white, with here and
there brilliant spot or dash of color
from ribbon or flower; the faces
flushed with the glow of health, it was
sight to make the Minneapolitan
proud of his city and the Northwest.
Of course their friends turned out IN
force to listen to their performance, and
thousands of approving smiles were
sent across the space that separated the
family pet from its proud fam
lily. Then how they did sing.
Their training had been per-
feet, and the young voices filled the
vast building with melody that almost
reminded one of chorus of song birds
and Blue" they sang like little patriots.
waving the national colors above their
heads in time with the chorus. OF
course they were encored, and gave
"Come Merry Birds of Spring." and if
the feathered bipeds didn't answer
to the invitation it was either
because it was far past their bed
time. or they were jealous of
the singing qualities of their whilom
rivals. Then. just to make their sue
cess binding, they sang 'Our Hearts
Are Light in a manner that left no
possible douJti in the mind of the aver
age listener that such was indeed the
case. While the little ones we're not
singing they took special delight in
crowding to the exhibition of Stereop-
ticon views. that never fail to please
children OF all ages and conditions, and
when their services were no longer re-
quired the ponies drew their undivided
attention as long as the parents would
remain and purchase the little tickets
that allowed them to make the circuit
OF the track. 1t was worth the full price
of admission to hear them yell when the
trotting dog driven by Willie Ketchum,
whom every boy in Minneapolis envies,
bad his race with the ponies, and their
eXultatiOn knew no bounds when he
won. If the amount of caresses be-
slowed upon that speedy canine last
evening were to be often repeated, the
chances are that DOC" would be
spoiled beyond all redemption.
The elder people amused themselves
in various ways; in fact, the general
complaint seems to be that there is not
time enough in which to give any
amount of attention to the splendid
exhibits, that form an endless study.
The art gallery drew more than
its share OF patronage, and
IL was llupOSSlUlC W ullu
vacant seat before any of the favorite
canvasses. The photographs were
kept busy necessarily, and the attend
ants found little time for their favorite
pasttime of gum chewing between the
| constant cross-fire of questions they
were compelled to answer. From the
| number of passengers the trains
carried away from Minneapolis Satur-
| day and Sunday, it seems improbable
| that any strangers could be left in the
city, but others must have come in their
! place, for certainly there were hundreds
of visitors from out of town yesterday.
They came early, stayed late, lost each
| other in the crowds and had good and
| exciting time generally.
The wonderful mechanical toys, the
latest invention of Mr.. Edison, have ar
| rived, and will be on exhibition to-day
| and hereafter in the room back of the
| space at present occupied by the
| Edison exhibit. They are wonderful
toys and will not only interest the
children, but the older people as we'll.
A doll that is dressed in the latest
| Partisan style is a grand affair in its
way, but when it adds to it's other at
fractions vocabulary of nearly hun
| dred words, it begins to rank with the
| marvellous featS of mechanism of the
| present century. When one looks at
them and hears them talk, it is almost
possible to believe that they are able to
| walk, sleep and eat, like the fairies that
| are told OF in Old-time tales, that is if
| fairies were ever supposed to do such
mortal things.
Tonight the local and outside public
will again have an opportunity to see
PAINS Last Days of Pompeii" given
with increased care. and radical
change in the pyrotechnic display. The
management has been so we'll pleased
with the patronage the spectacle has
received that it is determined to make a
special effort in these last three per-
fOrmances to give the grandest displays
| of which it is capable, and the magma
ton and skill of the chemists
and pyrotechnic artists will he
taxed to the utmost to pro-
duce something startling and novel.
They have been hard at work for the
past few days OH special designs and
features, and the result. together with
the stock which is to arrive from New
York, will no doubt form a display that
will eclipse all previous efforts. These
three performances, tonight, Thursday
and Saturday nights, are positively the
last opportunities that will be given to
see the greatest display of its kind that
has ever been given to the people of the
| Northwest. The Great Northern train
| to st. Paul will not leave the union
| depot until 10:45, to accommodate the
st. Paul patrons.
