The Exposition is moving along in
the same old style. Everything is as
good as can be. Some of the exhibitors
are still a little behind but they are
bustling all the time and will be all
right in few days. That the manage
ment made no mistake in securing the
Mexican band becomes more APP
parent after every selection. The
MeXicans are not given to throwing
themselves wide open on Wagnerian
music. appreciated by but a few mu-
steal cranks. The Exposition music is
for the people. The Mexican band rem
derS compositions that catch the popular
ear. and at the same time are of such a
character that the musical critic can find
no fault with them. And the execution
is well nigh faulIless. Almost every
selection is followed by all enthusiastic
encore.
The attendance at the Exposition
building for the opening day, Wednes-
day, was the largest ever known in the
history of the concern on opening day.
By actual count the number of persons
VITO passed through the gates was A.
271. Manager Bracket considers this
to be a very favorable omen, and the d.
rectors look forward to the prospects
with the greatest amount of pleasure.
A tank containing about LOCO tiny
trout from the fish hatchery at Duluth
arrived at the Exposition yesterday.
The little fish seemed to stand the jour
ney in an excellent manner and very
few of them died.
A meeting will be held by the EXPOSE
ton directors tomorrow in the EXPOSE
ton building. The management desires
a full attendance at the meeting as there
are large number of important things
to be looked after by the board.
The exposition management is very
indignant at the treatment which it has
received at the hands OF the South Su
periOr improvement company. The
company requested that a certain
amount of space be reserved for them in
the building, and large place was set
aside for that purpose. But yesterday
a t legram was received from the rep
resentativeS eff the company stating that
they would be unable to occupy the
space. This is looked upon as being
very shabby treatment.
Inc exhibits which were not in their
proper places in the Exposition build
nearly all been arranged, and an ap-
pearance of completion is very
much more apparent. There was
very large crowd present last night, and
the compliments which were passed on
the excellence of the exhibits were nu-
merOuS.
Senior VeaZey was received with the
greatest amount of enthusiasm yester-
day afternoon when he rendered one Of
his cOrnet solos. He was compelled to
answer to three encOres after the rem
dering of the "Suanee River"
The members of the Mexican band,
with their unique caps and gay uni
forms, attract a great amount of atten-
ton as they stroll about the Exposition
building looking at the different eXhib-
its. They marvel greatly at the sights,
and the Exposition seems to be Won
derland to them.
