MINNEAPOLIS DAY.
Prof. Stempf's Chorus and Brill
liant Musical Feast.

II
Capt. Hoay's stable of ponies appeared
on the streets yesterday morning, and
created quite a sensation. They had
been given an extra cleaning and the
metal on the harness frightened up be-
fore they left the Exposition building,
and as they came down Hennepin ave-
nue. and over the bridge they presented
quite an imposing sight. They were
driven singly, in teams and tandem, fol-
lowed through the entire route by
crowd of admiring juveniles, who
crowded around them so close that it
was rather difficult matter to drive
through the streets.
To-day is Minneapolis day at the
great show and it Is expected that
day success. The people of the city
will be given this special oppor-
tunity to prove their loyalty to
the interests of Minneapolis and they
should not be slow in proving that,
they know how to appreciate and sup
port an affair that is as worthy of pop
ular assistance as the Exposition. This
will be an occasion when those who
have not yet attended should go and
swell the numbers.
1t will also be great day for all low
ers of classical music, Conductor Reeves

with choice selections from the works
of all the grand masters, among other
great compositions the ever favorite
Overture TO Tannhauser." In addition

Ius will sing some of its best selections,
and as the organization has become

EdlSon'S talking dolls for the little
girls, the Photographs and exhibits for

pin to Tenth street, to Third avenue, to Sew
enth, to Second avenue, to Ninth, to Nicollet
and down Nicollet to the building. The
four-in-hand tandem and double teams, be-
