less inquiries as to the arrival of dele
cations. Many called to ask in regard
to friends whom they expected. All
questions were answered as far as pos
sible. and every facility furnished those
who desired information.
During the day several delegations
arrived and were Immediately taken in
charge by the committee and assigned
quarters. By far the greater number OF
delegates will arrive this morning, how
ever Special and regular trains on all
the roads will bring in thousands be-
tween the hours of o'clock and noon.
1t is thought all will have arrived by
the time the convention opens this aft
ernOon at 4 O'Clock, with the possible
exception of 800 or 400. As soon as the
delegates report they are given slips
on which is the address at which they
will stay while in the city. The largest
delegations are expected from Wlseon-
sin, Illinois and Iowa. The number
from these states is not exactly known,
but will range between 1000 and 800
from each. A pretty sight is to be seen
at headquarters in one corner OF the
room. where upwards of dozen pretty
young ladies are buSily engaged in Dill

Change of Programme.
The management has seen fit to make
a change as regards Saturdays pro-
gramme, and one which cannot fail to
be pleasing to all interested. 1t was
originally intended that the delegates
should pass Saturday afternoon at Lake
Harriet, but, in view of the fact that
the large pavilion there has been
burned, it has been decided 10 go to
Mnnetonka Beach. Special trains will
be run on the Great Northern road
every ten minutes, commencing
at II O'Clock. Returning trains
will leave the lake so as to
enable all to come back in time for the
evenings exercises. The round trip
fare to the lake has been reduced 10 30
cents. and this will be the only expense
attached to the trip. as the party will re-
turn to the city in time for supper.
Hotel LAFAYETTE will be turned over to
the delegates for their reception. The
affair will be entirely informal and will
be principally devoted to a renewal of
old acquaintance and to having jolly
good time.
The First Reception.
The first of a number of church re-
= ceptions, to be given in the different
churches, was given last evening at the
FIRST Free Baptist church. corner of
Nicoliet avenue and Fifteenth street.
The large auditorium of the new edlfice
had been handsomely decorated with
water lilies, and a lily was given each
of the visitors. An elegant souvenir
programme, with heavy gilt embr0ld-
cred covers, was also presented. The
The programme included vocal and in
strumental music and literary selec-
tons besides a social time at which re-
freshments were served. The were adj
dresses of welcome by E. Page for the
Y. P. S. c. E, and by Rev. Francis l..
Hayes for the church. to which there
were several responses.
General Passenger Agent Pratt has
made a change in regard to the handling
of tickets. His Office will be in the eX-
position building instead of the New
York Life building, as at first an
nOunced. Those who expect to return
before July 10 will not be required 10
deposit their tickets with MIR. Pratt.
However, each will be required 10 write
his name on an envelope, which Will be
numbered to correspond with his ticket.
The envelope and ticket will be filed
away and a receipt given for the same.
When the ticket is called for the party
must write his name. which will be COM
pared with the signature on the ticket.
These precautions have been found
necessary to head off the ticket scalp
erS The ticket remains good until
August 81. but the holder will be
obliged to start before the Goth Of next
month.
All Trains Loaded.
No special trains arrived at the union
depot yesterday morning, although all
the regulars had extra cars attached to
carry the large number arriving. The
Burlington train from the South found
it necessary to put on five extra cars. Ii
arrived at o'clock from Chicago and
had over 500 delegates aboard. A
large committee met the train at
the depot and conducted the
delegates to headquarters, where
they were assigned quarters. The Con-
necticut delegation, about $50 strong
and filing eleven coaches, arrived last
evening shortly before 10 o'clock. A
large committee met them at the depot
in addition to those who met them some
distance out. All were Immediately
given assignment slips, and so perfect
was the arrangement that not the least
difficulty was experienced in handling
the crowd. despite the late hour of their
arrival. The New South delegation
also arrived last evening, and made a
good showing. The Georgia delega ton
was twenty strong. and the Maryland
delegates, numbering between thirty
and forty, also arrived yesterday.
So far but few delegates from Mime
sofa have arrived. They are expected
to put in an appearance to-day, how
ever. a close estimate of the delega-
ton from this state, outside of St. Paul
and Minneapolis. places the number at
1000. many are of the opinion, how
ever, that they will number nearly
twice that.
