ONLY SIX MORE.
Programme for the Closing Days
ofthe Exposition.

OF the Exposition.
Only six days more of the great Min
neapolis Exposition. How many sad
hearts there will be caused when the
big building is shut up for an indefinite
period, and when all of the pretty girls
have gone away to their separate homes?
Truly the prospects are not of an en-
couraging nature for the young man.
What would the people of Minneapolis
do if there was no Exposition to afford
them amusement? The immense array
OF wonders which have been gathered
by the Exposition management for the
instruction of the children and the
amusement and delectation of the older
persons, act as a method of instruction
which is invaluable to the seekers for
knowledge. For the small sum of % cents
the Exposition management provides
for the people number of attractions
which it costs thousands of dollars to
secure, and it is only by the expendi-
ture OF the small. admission fee by the
thousands of visitors that the expenses
Of the exhibition are paid. The affair is
not money making concern; it is for
the purpose of instructing the people,
and for the purpose of advertising the
city of Minneapolis. The present EX-
=
pectations of the people and the man
agement, as the attendance has been
large and the interest which has been
manifested has been great.
Among the special attractions which
the management offers to the public for
the last week are baby show, an eXhi-
bitiOn drill by the crack military COM
pany of the Minnesota militia, pony
to be given away TO one of the
children, and finally, a number of extra
performances Of Paiu's great spectacle,
the Siege of Vera Cruz" In addition
to these, there are the innumerable at
fractions which are to be found in the
big building in the form of various eX-
hiDtS. Not the least of these are the
celebrated Sanford sisters, who have de-
lighted thousands OF visitors to tine EX-
position with the skilful manner in
which they have rendered difficultselec
tions on the sixteen different instru-
ments which they play. Each afternoon
and evening the hall in which they have
been performing has been packed. In
addition to the instrumental selections
which they have rendered, these talent
ed young ladies, the oldest Of them being
only eighteen years of age, sing, dance,
and give recitations, etc.
The Exposition management will eX-
pend a considerable amount in the dis
play of fireworks which will be made on
the evening Of the 23d, the occasion of
the great harvest festival. There will
probably be some very fine street illu-
mInatIons to be also made by the expo
sitiOn.
There were number of callers at the
Exposition building yesterday who
came to enter prize babies for the baby
show which is to be given Friday after
noon and evening. Assistant Manager
Byron will have the direction of the af-
fair which inSureS It's complete success.
Director Regan will be the host of
all the orphans in Minneapolis and st.
Paul next Tuesday when all of the
homeless little ones will be given an
admission to the building and lunch.
They will be entertained at the expense
of Mr.. Regan.
Everybody expects that the day of the
harvest festival will be the biggest one
programmes will be rendered by the
Mexican band and the Sanford sisters
orchestra and the exhibitors will arrange
for their portion of the entertainment
of the visitors.
This evening will be the occasion of
the second concert which will be given
by the Minneapolis Choral union. This
organization will also sing Wednesday
and Friday evenings.
The extra performances of ''Vera
CRUZ will be given on the evenings of
Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday of this week. The management
