The Exposition is open-wide open.
1t was opened yesterday afternoon
with blare of trumpet and sounding
bugle horn; with marching ranks and
gaping crowds; with prayer and oratory
and music and general proclamation.
The beginning of the opening of which
so much has been said was the parade
in the afternoon. 1t was the best EX-
position parade ever seen in Mime
aI>)lis. From the leader, Lieut.. Fred
Coffin. down to the small boys on raw
bOned horses forming the rear guard,
everything was regular and according
to HOyle. The Mexican band swung
into Hennepin avenue off Fifth street
few minutes after O'Clock. They played
for the especial benefit of the members
of the Minneapolis police department
who eaded the line. The blue coats
never looked smoother. They marched
like old veterans. All but few left on
duty to protect the peace and dignity of
the state were in line. They made such
showing as to cause Maj. Henderson's
heart to swell with pride. Following
the police rode Capt. d. NJ. Gilmore and
aides. The Third regiment U. S. A.
band marched next with precision
that is, found only in the regular army,
and the soldiers of the Third regiment,
U. S. A. swung along behind their
band as if marching against the Indians
under Little Wound at Wounded Knee
| creek. Col. E. G. Mason was in
personal command. Ringwald's band
| led the first regiment n. g. S. NJ, COM
maDded by the most imposing figure
in the parade, Col. w. B. Bend. Com
pany q, of the Second regiment, fol-
lowed. Then came the board of EXDO-
SitiOn directors in carriages, with the
| speakers and representatives of the
press. The Sons of Veterans turned
out and marched with the parade,
attended by the Plummer post drum
corps. One hundred members of the
Minneapolis fire department closed the
line. 1t is but just to say that the fire
department boys made the best showing
of the day. They are not expected to
be soldiers who march like automatOnS,
but they preserved their lines and
of men in the parade, not excepting even
the regulars.
The long line swung up Hennepin
avenue to Tenth street. crossed over to
Nicollet and thence to the Exposition
building. All along the line of march
| thousands were aggregated. The streets
were packed. All traffic was suspended
for the time. a few dog fights along
the route only served to heighten the
zest of the occasion. The bright mount
ings of so many soldiers, real and orna-
mental, glistened III the sun; the ladies
smiled approvingly upon the brave
young men who could so far forget pre-
| judice as to come over from st. Paul
| and march in Minneapolis
| parade; the old men with q. A. r. dec
OratiOns on their breasts chuckled and
told one another how they used to march
down South; the small boys lOnged for
the time when they would be Dig enough
| to carry a gun and march behind the
band. There was not the slightest ces-
satiOn to the interest in the parade until
the last carriage had pulled up to the
main entrance of the Exposition, and
each and every occupant had been per-
| Sonally welcomed to the building by the
| Suaye. ceremOniOuS Col. Gore.

MINNEAPOLIS.
WEADON WELCOMED.

The shrill notes Of bugle pealed forth its
hlvery voice at the union depot yesterday at
1870 and there walked out from the door Of
that station tall willowy form, dressed in
The latest Oxford suit patent leather shoes
and on his head wore the latest style Knox
hat. He was escorted to handsome Victoria,
20 which was hitched four shining black
horses, bedecKed with plumes and fete day
decorations The aforesaid ''distingue" was
no other than Col. L. Percy Weadon,
Tor many years q local theatrical

AT THE BUILDING.
Music, Speeches and Electricity
Set the Machinery A-MOving.


The exercises at the building opened
with a selection by the Mexican band.
after which Rev. o. H. Tiffany offered
prayer. President T. B. Janney then
announced Mayor Winston, and amid
the confusion of thousands of voices,
the tramping of feet and the pounding
of hammers that official made brief
address. He said:
again the people of this great and
prosperous city have just cause for
thankfulneSs and cOngratulatiOn. Not
alone this city, but the great North
Star state, the golden Northwest, one
vast eXpanse of country, large enough
TO form one of earth's most powerful
empires, alike share in general pros
perity and success. The progress made
by the city of Minneapolis in her tri-
umphant march to commercial import
ance, taking rank with the first cities,
has been truly wonderful. The history
of the achievements of this city reads
more like romance and fiction than
stern truth and reality"
The mayor then enumerated some of
the causes when had led to the great
prosperity of Minneapolis, and the
generous way in which Minnesota had
been dealt with by nature. He spoke
particularly of the fertile soil, vast for
ests, bold navigable rivers, the high
ways of the nations, and of the great
mineral wealth of the state, enough, he
said, to enrich all the sons and daugh-
tiers of men. He also spoke of the
healthful climate, and said that all these
had contributed to make Minneapolis
the great city she had become. Con-
tinuing, he spoke of the great North
west, saying that no man living could
predict where its growth would ter
inmate. He touched upon some of the
visible capabilities and possibilities
showing the great eXpanse of the North
west and of Minnesota partlcu-
larly, and the great opportun-
ity which this vast territory
affords for diversified industries.
At this point his discourse became sta
tistical, and he proceeded to compare
the area of Minnesota and the North
west with that of powerful foreign coun-
tries, and showed that there are over
800, 900 square miles tributary to the city
| of Minneapolis. He showed that a
| fourth of the wheat raised in the United
States this year will be produced by
! Minnesota and the DakOtas.
He referred to the comparatively short
existence of the city of Minneapolis and
| the great strides which had been made
| in this brief existence, and urged that
! efforts be made to continue the progress.
| In conclusion he said:
have a deep, firm. abiding faith in
the people, and a neyer-failing conf
dence IN the future greatness and
grandeur of the city of Minneapolis, a
| perfect faith in every interest-man
featuring, commercial. intellectual and
moral instit utions If that confidence
begotten in us is not of a lasting inspira-
ton, that which to-day we see around
us and is within hearing of our voices
should and will strengthen us in ouI
firm purpose and determination to press
onward and forward to triumphant sue

MORRILL, APOLOGIES.
He Was Called Down by a Roasted
Saloon Man.

Saloon Man.
GOlightly Morrill, has put his foot into
it,agaln and been compelled to apollo
gize. He was quoted as saying that he
looked through the rear window of
Chas Rebou's saloon on First avenue
south while on his last Summing tour
and saw gambling going on there. Mr..
Rebou Indignantly denies that there
was any gambling in his house that
evening or any other evening. Morrill,,
he says. couldn't see anything from the
rear of his place anyhow as there are but
two windows there, one opening into
the elevator and the other into hall
way. He talked of suing the divine for
criminal libel and went so far as to put
the case into the hands of an attorney.
Then Morrill, came out with this state
ment:
''By some inadvertance l am made to
say in the Evening Tribune: The
same in Rebou'S." l know nothing of
Rebou's except by hearsay. l did not
visit it Saturday night or any other, and
so have made no accusation against it,"

THE EXPOSITION PROPER.
1t Opens Up Well for a First
Night Performance.

1t is safe TO say that never has the Mime
apolis Exposition been in better shape on
the opening day than yesterday. A few of
the exhibitors were behind, but that is
always the case. Nothing that came under
the scope of the management was unfinished.
Not a board, not O piece of bunting
remained to be put i'll place; not a
Bracket seemed to have planned everything
down to the last minute. When the main EN-
trance was thrown open in the afternoon
everything moved with the smoothneSs OF
New York legislature after visit from The
railroad kings. This is so unusual that it is
refreshing.
The interior ARRANGEMENTS of the building
are better than ever before After passing
the turnsile, the abrupt turn to the left
and right Of former years is done away
with This turn always occasioned
delay in handling a large crowd. Now the
corners are passed right across the pony
track to a center from which almost any
sized multitude can be distributed around
veniently located than before and there are
many minor changes that in the aggregate
make a wonderful Improvement.
Last night the building was aglow from
tower top to basement. 1t looked like the
Exposition of old as the strains of dreamy.
Spanish music fiOated out through the tor
tuous corridors, and the hummlng crowds
flowed along, mingling. crushing to one side
slipping easily past one another. The
crowd was not enormous. but was as large as
could have been looked for.
The first impression one gets Of the Expo
sition is pleasing. Directly one enters the
gale, the cleaning white walls of Fort Con-
ceptiOn rise before him. Inside IS. in minia-
ture, the parade ground of a modern fort
ress Muzzles of cannon protrude from en-
brasures; ugly-looking mortars lie scattered
about, with here and there a pile of bomb
shells, grape and canister and solid shot;
stands of small arms illustrating every stage
of Improvement from the Revolutionary
period to the present day, are everywhere.
This ordnance exhibit is one of the most in
teresting in the building.
Special attention cannot here be given to
the special features promised by the Exposi
ton management. The home of the cliff
jewellers, with specimens of their handiwork,
the fish exhibit, etc., are all and more than
was promised.
The Mexican band received a warm well
come. This organization will be popular,
judging from the reception of last evening.
