The stockholders of the Minneapolis
Industrial exposition met yesterday aft
ernoon and amended the articles of in
corporation SO as to give the corporation
more power to issue preferred stock and
increase the assessment on the corpora
ton Indebtedness. Following this meet
ing the board of directors convened, and,
after little discussion, decided to hold
another exposition next year. Pre-
vlouS to arriving at this de-
clson the board listened to reports
from Manager Bracket and Sec
rotary Byron. The former stated
that he had received letters from sixty
nine of this years exhibitors, aud only
four were against the holding of all eX
position in 1893. All. however, with
the exception of one of those siXty-nine
exhibitors. declared themselves as being
willing to exhibit again next year.
Manager Bracket also stated that the
exposition had made little money this
year and the guarantee fund would not
he touched. Secretary Byron reported
that he had sent out letters to all the
business men and manufacturers of the
city and had received replies to fifty
eight of them. All but seven of these
replies were favorable TO having the eX-
seven letters against objected mildly
because of the fear that the holding of
the worlds fair in Chicago would de-
tract from the local show.
The matter was discussed at length,
and the sentiment of the meeting was
that the worlds fair would not detract
from the Minneapolis exposition. but
rather enhance it as a drawing card,
from the fact that many foreigners and
Eastern people would come to the
Northwest after coming as far as Chi
cag0. 1t would therefore be proper, ac-
cOrding to K. q. Potter, who spoke GA
the subject, TO have the exhibits repre-
sent more largely than heretofore the
manufacturing industries of Minneapo-
lis and the Northwest. He did not desire
that this should be done to the exclusion
of the Eastern exhibitors, but should be
made the feature of the exposition.
Frank NickelS then moved that the eX
position be held next year, and that it
be made better than ever, provided
guarantee fund OF not less than $780,
be secured by Dec. /. The motion was
put to vote and passed with but one
dissenting vote. The matter of drawing
up proper guarantee fund was re-
TERED to the executive committee,
which in tuIn was authorized to refer it
