FUN AT THE EXPO.
The Great Ragamuffin Programme
Tonight.

Tonight
The great ragamuffin carnival of the
Minneapolis Exposition comes off to-
night. All the preparations are COM
pleted and the affair promises to be the
most stupendous success of all the big
entertainments which have been given
from year to year at the Exposition.
1t should be understood that the whole
thing is a grand burlesque. The
members of the Ragamufiin band appear
in ludicrouS costumes, wearing masks,
and the music which they will produce
will be wildly tunny. There will be a
great deal OF funny business inter
spersed, and probably a great many in
teresting scenes which are not down on
the programme. The managers say that
1t will be very interesting show for the
children.
The arrangements are being made to
accommodate very large crowd, as the
carnival seems to have. caught the pop
ular taste. Special trains are to come
in from Anoka, Lake Minnetonka, Red
Wing and Hastings, ana special inter
urban cars are TO be run between
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The de-
parting trains will be held at the de-
pots until after the close of the per-
formance, aud the interurban cars will
he waiting onCentral avenue, near the
Exposition building, at the same time.
Special arrangements have also been
made by the Minneapolis street car peo-
pie to handle the special crowd with
ease and dispatch,

st. Paul. that the ST. Paul people insist
on coming, and will be here in large
numbers:
