FAREWELL TO REEVES.
To-Day He Will Lead for the La.
Time in MinneapOliS.


Time in Minneapolis.
Some people know good thing when
they see it. and others see good thing
when they know that it is to be seen.
Such has been the case with the engage
ment of Reeves American band at the
Exposition. There is not the least
doubt but what that great musical Or
ganiZati0n has been the means of draw
ing many people to the big show
that would not otherwise have come
on many occasions. The music has been
invariably of a high class and Its per-
Torrance far above the average. ESpe-
clally has this been the case in the SUlO-
lists that have contributed SO largely to
its success. They have been invariably
accorded the most hearty of receptions
whenever they have been upon the pro-
gramme. and certainly their music has
been worthy of the most hearty applause
People who have listened to them and
enjoyed their finished work should re-
member that this Is their last day in
Minneapolis, and turn out tonight to
give the great conductor rousing good
bye. The last piece TO be played is a
characteristic one, and is just what the
occasion requires. The piece starts off
with crash of sound and is followed by
spell vi lIlcn OliG ny
one the parts drop out, the musicians
pack up their instruments and leave the
stage until one alone remains, who fin
isheS with plaintive solo, and when
the music dies away he too folds up his
stand and leaves the conductor alone.
Sadly he looks about him and then
turns to the audience, bows them his
adieu and departs for the far East, de-
serted leader.
These are the great shows last days.
and just one week from to-day will see
the very last day of the great show of
1890. one of the greatest local EXPOSE
tons that has ever been held in any
city. There is but one more week in
which to see the wonderful Edison ex-
hibit, the greatest art collection ever
gotten together in the West, the phono-
graphs. the little ponies that have
so delighted the children, and
thousand and one lesser attractions,
any one of which are worth going to
see. During. this week people should
flock to see them, for probably they will
never again come to the Northwest.
The show has been great success, and
Minneapolis people have it in their
power to make it still greater by their
attendance, to show that they appreci-
ate what has been done in the way of
vast amusement enterprise for Mime
apolis.
There is little use, however, to pray
for attendance for next week. The
great Strauss orchestra will be here,
and there is not man, woman OF child
who can rake, Scrape or borrow quar-
ter who will not hear that great organ
iZatiOn in its characteristic music of the
Rhine and Rhone. Crowds will flock there
and the capacity of the third floor will
be taxed to its utmost to accommodate the
public. 1t will be great success. how
much so, no one can tell until after the
| first day, for as rule Minneapolis
audiences are great musical critics, and
can tell for themselves as to the merits
| of Strauss.
The programme for to-day is as fol-
lows:
/ LastDay OF Reeves Band.
Farewell to Minneapolis.
Two Reminiscent Concerts.
| The Great Success of the Season, Concluding
With
1.-THE Deserted Conductor"
In which each musician plays his part, folds
up his rack, wraps up his instruments and
| quietly departs for Providence, r. l., leav-
| ing the conductor, NOW deserted" to fol
| low alone.
| An erroneous idea having gained cur
rency that Capt. Hoag's ponies close to-
day. The management states most en-
| phatically that they will remain at the
| Exposition until October as they are
proving stronger attraction than ever.
