Milwaukee Exposition.
A Few OF THE MANY IMPORTANT FEATURES
OF THE GREAT Snow.

The Milwaukee Industrial EXPOSE
tion which will be opened TO the pub
lie Sept. 2, gives excellent promise of
being superior in many respects to any
former display of that character yet
seen in the Northwest. Unlike many
of the so.called expositions of the
country, which present the same at
fractions year after year will be made
up very largely of entirely new fea-
lures and displays. The management
has been to much trouble and expense
TO secure such attractions as will
make the Exposition thoroughly edu-
cational and instructive to all classes.
as well as pleasing to the eye. Among
the many Industrial features will be
complete tin shop. manu- featuring all
kinds Of tinware; a new machine in
operation weaving many colored rugs,
the production of which has ever been
mystery; a binding Irvine factory
and IA complete brush factory in oper-
atiDn; new styles of pottery making
and novelty glass workers, and scores
of other industrial features. A large
port on of the space formerly occupied
by carriage exhibits will be devoted to
industrial works.
The art gallery will be one of the
most varied aud elegant ever put on
public exhibition in this country, and
will contain vast variety of choice
pictures by the best American and
foreign artists. Many of the most
attractive natural scenes of the world
will be accurately portrayed upon the
canvass before the visitors. In all of
the vast collection of several thousand
pictures there will be few, If any,
ever seen there before.
An inspection of the museum in
connection with the Exposition will
alone prove worth the trouble and ex
pense of visit to the metropolis of
| the tate. While it has always been
elaborate and extensive, those famil-
| lar with it heretofore will scare ely
recognize it now because of the many
new specimens of the animal kingdom
| which have been added during the
past year.
A new feature of special interest to
Wisconsin visitors will be found in
the accurate pictures of many of Wis
consin's choicest stock farms and
| summer resorts. There will be pic
| lures of the dells of the Wisconsin
river, and many of the lakes of the
state to which all delight to resort
| in the fishing season. This feature
will not only please but interest all,
because it illustrates some of the many
features of the state which are max
ing Wisconsin famous.
The celebrated Clauder band, whose
afternoon and evening concerts have
delighted the many thousands of Wis.
itors to the Milwaukee Exposition in
| former years, has been further
strengthened by the employment of
several more of the best musicians of
| the world, and will continue to
| give concerts both afternoons and
evenings which would draw audiences
of thousands in any city even at high
| price for seats. There will be moth
ing lacking in the Exposition to COM
bine complete entertainment with a
vast amount of valuable information
for all.
A special effort has been made to
secure entirely new mercantile dis
plays, and, as result, many of the
old booths have disappeared, and new
ones of the most beautiful design are
taking their place. All of the exhibit
ton space in the building has been
taken, and it is safe to say there will
be no unoccupied corners or stalls in
the vast building this year. 1t will
| be great show, indeed, and will be
open each week day from Sept. to
Oct. II, covering the State fair week.
so that visitors to the fair can see
both shows without additional travel
ing expenses.
AS usual, cheap excursions will be
run by the railroads from many points
in the state during the Exposition, 50
| that all who wish may spend day
among its wonders at tritilng ex-
pense.
