and crew of men is Kept busy prepar-
ing the various buildings for the eX-
hibitS they are to contain. Some OF the
exhibitors, whose merchandise require
care in setting up, are already
hard at work so as to be ready
for opening day, ana the several
TO or
accommodating their space to the needs
Of their entries. Not content with what
has proved interesting in former years,
the managers have left no stone I'M
turned to secure new and attractive
features, and the public will have an
opportunity to judge whether or not
they have been successful in their
efforts.
SO that no one day will be less inter-
eSting than the others, additional at
fractions will be secured, though they
have not. yet been definitely decided
upon. The main building will this year
present sight not soon to be forgotten,
with its great variety of beautiful eXS
hibits.
Chief among these will be decided
novelty at the fair in the shape of an
extensive electrical display to be made
BY the Northwest General Electric conf.
pany, of st. Paul. The machines which
will be used were shipped to the
grounds yesterday and under the dIrec-
ton of Superintendent Burwell the
work of wiring the booth, which is in
the main building. will be commenced
tomorrow. A 45-hOrse power, 220-voft
generator will be placed in the machin-
cry room to be run by a steam engine.
From this wires will be run direct to
the main building to a 25-hOrse power
motor and from this belt to a 250-light
dynamo. This will operate the
lights with which the booth
will be decorated, and as there
will be about $50 16-candle power
beautiful cut and colored glass shades
of various shapes. the general effect will
be magnificent. The current will also
operate number Of smaller motors,
one of which will run wheel having
different-colored burning lamps on every
spoke and which, when running at full
speed, appears like circular flame of
many eoIors. The other motors will
run fans. pumps, etc.
The piVOted fan motor will also be
shown. the speed of the fan making it
revolve Oh its pIvoted base. Several of
the Thomson recording meters will form
part of the display. the glass covers
used on them to show the working
parts being the same as were used
by the Thomson Houston company
at the Paris exposition when their
meters were awarded the only gold
medal for electric meters in competition
with all meters of American and foreign
make. A large fifty-ceIl medical bat
terry will be kept In operation to
AdmIuister Shocks
to those afflicted with rheumatism and
also to keep off small boys. The bal
anee of the exhibit will consist of the
almost innumerable specialties manu-
featured by the leading companies and
consisting chiefly of electric railway
equipments, station switches, trans
form are lamps, railway headlights,
lightning arreSters, cut-outs, station in
struments and wires, the whole making
a decidedly attractive and elaborate
exhibit. The effect Of the multi-coI-
ored lights artisticalIy grouped can
better be imagined than described. The
exhibit will be in charge Of Mr.. A. w.
Zahm. The Carpenter Electric company
will also make complete display OF
those electrical appliances used in heat
ing. cooking, etc. A large flour exhibit
will also he made in the main building
by the Lindeke Roller Mill company,
and, with the apiarian display and the
horticultural exhibition which is being
prepared for the worlds fair, this big
building will contain as diversified
collection of attractions as any ordinary
mortal could wish for. A slender wire
from the electrical booth will furnish
power with which to run the cof-
fee-roasting apparatus Of Griggs,
Cooper 81 Co.. and this concern,
with the c. w. Croft company
which has space Immediately adjoining,
will supply coffee and biscuits to the
fairgoers. The official programme, givI'
ing full list of the different events of
the week, is being prepared, and will
be published at an early date Today
at noon many of the entries close, and
it bids fair to be busy day at the Sec
retary'S Office. If energy and good
judgment count for anything, it is safe
to predict that more people will pass
the gates this year than ever before, and
that the society will finish the season
with comfortable surplus.
