. Among the many attractions which
will be presented to the visitors at the
Minneapolis Exposition this season,
will be the exhibit which will be made
this year by the United States Fish
Commission. Every kind of fish that is
to be found in the lakes and rivers of
this country will be exhibited in tanks
which have been prepared for that pur-
pose. A beautiful little grotto, made on
the same plan as the one which was
shown at the Worlds Exposition 10
Paris last year. has been constructed
under the personal supervision of Man.
ager Brack EFT, and in this will be shown
the fish swimming around as though in
their native element. There will be
fifteen tanks, each one being five feet in
length, and capable of holding large
number of the members of the fnny
tribe.
The military company of boys who de-
lighted the people Of st. Paul with their
drills was disbanded on account of not
having place in which to drill. Now
we owe these youths some help and as
we are liberal in trying to promote the
welfare OF our race, cannot we help
them. The needful thing now is hall,
which can be used one night in each
week; and if such a place can be Sc
cured without great expense one ohsta-
Gle will be removed. A competent drill
master, Mr.. J. H. Warren, we want the
sons Of veterans of the late civil war to
be ready to die for their country as were
their ancestors. and this can be accom-
plished by learning the soldiers tactics.
All members of the company are re-
quested to meet at the residence of Mr..
Owen Davis, corner of College and Wa
basha sts., Monday Sept. "a, at 1880.
Tomorrow evening at the Metropoli-
tan will witness the first production in
st. Paul of the famous comedy, "Dr.
Bill" from the Garden theatre, New
York. DIR. Bill" has had a remarkable
existence, having played "a nights in
Paris, 500 in London and los in New
York. 1t is said by those who have
seen the comedy to be one of the funni-
est comedies of the day. It is of the
higher order, not farce, but full of laugh
able situations on the order of "All the
Conf 'rts of Home" and "Wilk1nson's
Widows" The company presenting the
play here is to be an excellent one,
headed by Mrs. Geo. Knight. In "Dr.
Bill" the famous kangaroo dance, of
which so much has been written, is seen.
