w
1t should be matter of pride to the
present Exposition management that SO
many words of praise are heard in re-
gard to the Exposition of 1890. The
only complaints that are heard come
from few who are of the opinion that
the show is too expensive, but upon
Soberer contemplation. even they have
to admit that the argument is poor
one, when it is considered that the
crowds in attendance daily more than
make up for the vast expenditure. Ii
had been the intention to give show
that would be novelty in it every fea-
ture, and the efforts toward that end
have been more than successful. The
art gallery alone is proving a great
drawing card, and upon one day last
week the attendance was above 5000,
| that number of tickets being sold at the
doors. OF course the monographs have
much to do with the good attendance,
| but the gallery itself should be given its
just dues.
The display made by local firms is
| far above that of former years, each one
having been determined to give some
| thing that wonld show that the mer-
chants of Minneapolis have in stock
| the finest wares that can be secured. 1t
| is matter for comment also that many
| of the manufacturing exhibits are made
| by local firms, and one is hardly aware
| of the number of them until he reads
| the signs above the displays. In all
branches of business there is the same
elegance, which goes to show that the
local retail market is fit to compa re
with those Of the East in every way
There is pleasant rivalry, too, among
exhibitors to put their best foot for
ward, and the amount of talk INDUCED
in by the men and ladies in charge
would do credit to a travelling mOunte-
bank.
Minneapolis people have always been
ready in the past to give the institution
their hearty support, but never in it's
history have such crowds attended from
neighboring cities and outside the state.
st. Paul has been liberal with her pat
| ronage, as is made manifest by the long
trains of ears that await the people at
the stations, especially the one that
leaves directly after the completion of
the performance of ssThe Last DAYS of
Pompeii. This actually bears out the
assertion that the Exposition of 1890 is
an unqualified success.
A word, too, should be said in praise
of Mr.. Reeves and his splendid band
that daily furnishes such excellent pro-
| grammeS of music. Undoubtedly it has
| proved a great attraction, and the seats
| about the gallery are always crowded
| during its performances. 1t is especial
ly pleasing to note the vast repertoire
the band appears to possess, for up to
date there has been total lack of repi-
tition that is noticeable to those who
attend more or less regularly,
| and who enjoy the music above
| all else. The management made no
mistake when it engaged the American
band. The numerous SoloistS long ago
| stepped into popular favor. especially
Mr.. Church, whose splendid perform
| anceS on the c0rnet are invariably re-
| ceived with hearty encore, until it
| has become matter of fact that he is
| to repeat all his numbers or give new
one. The descriptive pieces are far
above what QUE usually hears in that
| line and are worthy of special mention
Yesterday the building saw its larg-
| est crowd for the season, as the visitors
began to arrive early, and there was a
constant stream of people going in and
| out al! through the day. At night the
building about held its capacity, loco
| motion being somewhat interfered with
| by the stopping of people to view some
| interesting object. But, as rule, the
| more people the merrier time, and no
one need to complain on that score.
| The performances of Yank Hoe and
| Nine. Omne draws the crowd in
| vast numbers to their portion of the
| house, and as their repertoire of
| tricks are ever varied. interest never
lagS in their performance. Of course
the ponies and the trotting dog never
| fail to delight the younger people, and
| Interest never seems to lag. Some have
been disappointed that the talking dolls
have not been shown earlier, but they
Will only add another feature they
finally arrive in their perfected shape.
Friday evening request programme
will be given by the band, and the re-
quests for special numbers may be sent
to the Exposition Office, and will be con-
Sidered i'll the order in which they are
received. All requests must be in by
Thursday noon. The programme for
