At the meeting of the exposition
board yesterday morning report was
received from Manager Bracket. Mr..
Bracket had just returned from his
Eastern trip, but he was not present
on account of the fatigue he had eX-
perienced, He reported that he had
seen representatives of the best
bands In the East and that all of them
would send in their terms later. He as
sured the committee that the Minneapo-
lis exposition of 1892 would be the most
interesting that had yet been held. He
finds that there will be no difficulty in
finding any number Of new and inter
esting features. The pure food exhibit
will be made prominent.
The special committee on art director
recommended that Ii. Jay Smith b.
paid $1,000 for his services this year
The is 500 more than was paid him last
year, but the board can save money
even at that, as it will not have to pay
so much for the cave dwellers' exhibit,
much of it being already in place. The
report was adopted. Mr.. Smith out
lined his plans to the board. He
will go into the district where the
cave dwellers' remains were discovered
and will search for new relics. He will
also secure sketches and views of that
district. MIR. Smith suggests that the
board secure a train of pack burros.
Mr.. Smith intends to reserve at least
four rooms for the best paintings in
Minneapolis and st. Paul.
w. Nj. Bracket was seen yesterday
in regard TO what he had done for the
exposition in the East. He was asked
particularly if he had secured the
Marine band, of Washington.
NO." said he, "that's out of the ques-
ton at that time OF the year. The Ma
rine band only gets one leave of absence
a year, and this commences in a few
days. Even aside from that it would
not be advisable to get it here as there
would at once be a howl from all the
professional musicians in the country.
They would object to the Marine
band. composed of enlisted men.
it would be simply knocking
another band out of job. The secre-
tary of war did not think, on this ac-
count, that it would be quite the prope r
thing to do to allow the band to come to
Minneapolis on that account. But we'll
have a band, however, and a good one.
l have already sent to the board the
names of the bands l have heard which
would be acceptable. There is Levy's
band of New York. This numbers
about forty or fifty pieces and is led by
Levy himself the greatest cornetist in
the world.
HE agrees to play solo at each con-
cert. He is whole attraction himself.
Then there is the Germania band, of
Boston. one of the oldest musical or
CARNATIONS in the country and one of
the best. The instruments for the Bos-
ton Symphony orchestra are selected
from this band. Then there is the Old
Guard and Brooks bands, of New
York. making strong list.
81 can't tell you anything now about
the attractions in the amusement line,
as must confer first with the board,
but will say that we VIII have the
largest list of features to select from we
ever had. The show will be fine one,
as We have more time to make seiec-
tionS and a much larger line"
