Programme and Arrangements for
Minnesota troops at Chicago.
The members OF the national guard of
the state are in a condition of ecstacy
over the prospect of the figure they will
cut in Chicago at the worlds fair SER
vices. 1t has been definitely settled
that each company of the three regi-
mentS will be ready for the muster in
large numbers. A spirit of enthusiasm,
in other words, pervades the organiZa-
ton, and every individual member is
particularly DESTROYS of contributing to
the display of citizen soldiery. The
controversy over going has been set
tied. The advertised schedule of de-
partureS and arrivals reads:
The Programme.
The first train with the First regiment
will leave Minneapolis at $3.50 Wednes-
day morning; leave st. Paul at E, ar
rive i'll Chicago at 10 p. ln., and reach
the grounds at II D. m. The second
train with the Third Regiment will
Ieave st. Paul at 7:30. arrive in Chicago
4 at $50 D. m., and at the grounds at
II 80 p. IT..
ID The third train with the Second regi-
ment will leave st. Paul at S:l5 a. M,
arrive in Chicago at II rs D. M, and at
the grounds at 1915 p. IN. Certainly
that is schedule that ought to please
anyone. Then as to the return. 1t APP
Z pears TO have been supposed by some of
b the companies that they could wander
home whenever it seemed good to them
$50 to door when inconsistencies overlook
|, them. This is not the case. The time
I of starting home is as follows: Sunday
train will leave the
/ grounds at O'Clock, Chicago at Z, and
Twill arrive in st. Paul at 10 D. III. and
minneapolis at 10:40. The second train
will leave the grounds at a. M, Chi
( cago at 4, and will arrive in st. Paul at
z. This time for the second train is not
syet beyond peradventure, but in all
probability will be carried out.
! The third train will leave the grounds
at 7:15 a. m. Chicago at Sis. and will
arrive in st. Paul at 11:l5, but not with
its full complement OF troops, for several
of the companies will leave the train at
LA Crosse and Winona. OF course, if
individual soldiers wish to remain in
Chicago they can do SO, but they will be
under the necessity of paying their fare
home, as transportation will not be
forthcoming for personal expeditions.
Battery b. of Minneapolis, will come
to st. Paul on Train No. l, and will
take the second train, containing the
Third regiment, on which all the troops
Of the mounted squadron will go, as the
Third has more room with them than
the other two regiments.
AS to the Second regiment, Col. Bob
Letter says that six of his companies. A,
at Winona, and d will join it al La
Crosse. The Seconds band will 20
thirty-two strong, equallng the FirSt's
band in point of numbers. Mounted
officers of all the regiments will take
horses from here, transportation being
furnished on the express trains with the
troops. Men should not forget to take
one days ration, as the trains will not
stop at any point for dinner. Coffee
and sandwiches Will be served on the
grounds upou the arrival of the trains.
1t may be of interest to the boys to
know just what their rations are to be.
Here is a sample bill of fare:
Breakfast-Coffee and tea, bread and
butter, beefsteak and pork or mutton
chops, fried or boiled potatoes, liver
and bacon. Dinner-Bean soup, roast
beef, pork and beans, boiled Or mashed
potatoes, parsnips, beets or carrots,
bread and butter, coffee, tea or milk,
rice pudding and sauce. oupper-Cold
roast beef aud corned beef, ham, pork
and beans, fried potatoes, pickles,
bread and butter, coffee. tea and milk
The contract price is 20 cents per
meal per man. The cost is surprisingly
moderate, considering the elaborate
fare.
A good many of the soldier boys had
looked with CONSERVATION and alarm
upon the line of march that had preyi-
Ously been announced. It meant fatigue
and hardShips that few would care to
endure, but all that has been changed.
Originally 1t was announced that
Nearly Twenty Miles
were to be encompassed in the march:
but the distance has been cut down to
about three miles. The route will be
from Jackson park to and around
Washington park, which will not require
any great effort even from the tender
recruit The column will form on
the east side of Washington park
in lines of masses. The presi-
dent of the United States will have his
station OH the west side of the park.
The column will change direction by
the left flank and pass in review in
columns of masses. After passing the
president the troops will act as an es-
coEt to and into the buildings, where
they will have an opportunity to see the
exercises.

troops from other states may be sepa-
