St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-10-10

from the top of which a good view could
be had of the grounds and the lake, was
covered with human beings. At the
north end of the grounds. where the
state buildings are located. the crowd
was fully as great as in and around the
main buildings. The crowds were made
up OF people of every calling. The
great mass of people who go to make up
Chicago life mingled with farmers and
residents of smaller cities.
That the crowd was orderly was evi-
denced by the fact that only eight ar
rests were made before II o'clock by
Columbian guards and all the otfenses
charged were fence jumping.
The restaurants were wholly made
quate to serve the hungry. Half the
people carried lunches.
The exposition was transformed into
FARMLAND AT NIGHT.
Bright lights flashed from every nook
and crevice of the buildings. Search
lights cut wide swaths on the sky.
Multi-cOlored rockets shot heavenward; !;
showers of fire rained about the grand
basin and on the lake front. Through
1t all the floats representing Chicago's
progress were hauled. 1t was the grand
climax OF the feasted days of the fair.
Never before was there a sight so H.
spring at the fair. The great white
structures of the exposition stood out
lined against the heavens and the whole
was one superb blaze of glory. The
floats were marvelS or beauty. The
blending of the cOlors added harmony
to the scene of beauty.
The first was the Genius of Music. :"
She carried harp, and at her feet clus-
tered chorus of fifty, whose songs rung
out on the night air.
"ChicaUO was renreSentnd nv the
second float. Miss ElIz abeth Flynn ap-
peared as the typical Chicago figure.
She was costumed handsomely, and
across her breast were the familiar
words, II will" On the same float
wore the following representative char
acters: Love" Miss Floy Strong:
Liberty" Miss 5. Cruver; "Music." p"
Miss Esther GritZner: Art" Miss Cad
Matthew's; Science" Miss Blanche
Smithson; Literature" Miss Gertie
Owen.
Chicago as trading post in 1912 was
the subject of the third float. The
scene represented an incident in
the Fort Dearborn massacre Upon
the float was 4 group representing the
famous Chief BLACK Partridge" i'll the
act of reScuing white woman from the
tOmahawk of q ferociouS Pottawatomie.
The characters were of historical prom
inence, including the P0ttawatome
chief, Simon POkageOn, whose father
formerly owned the land on which Chi
cago now stands. A graceful group
was formed by three
INDIAN MAIDENS,
who chanted the songs of their tribe.
Sherjdan's famous ride, the figures of
Grant, Logan, Douglass and Richard
Yates, and Chicago offering her sons to
Lincoln formed fitting picture foI the
fourth float. 1t represented Chicago in
war. Cupids with trumpets decorated
with flowers drew the fifth float, on
which was the angel OF peace.
The sixth float represented Chicago
PROSTATE. typical of the effect of the big
fire. Ruined columns, fragments and
debris Surmounted by a colossal fire
fiend with torch i'll hand; a company of
firemeE climbing ladders, and making
an Intellectual attempt to check him. A
mother striving to rescue her child, and
gallant firemen rescuing people from
the flames. At the rear of the car Chi
cagO was seen rising from its ashes.
| Busy workmen were constructing build
| ingS on the site of burned ruins. This
| float was manned by the Chicago fire
| department, and was drawn by six of
| the best horses in the service.
The seventh float was mass of flow
| eIS, and represented commerce. An
argOSy with single sail on which was
| embaZoned the word Commerce" was
| constructed of flowers.
On the last float was Columbus at the
| court of Isabella. 1t was the handsom-
est float Ill the procession. The char
| acters were cOstumed in magnificent
robes. The scene was of supreme dra-
matte interest, and illustrated the mo-
ment when Isabella decides to offer her
| jewels TO furnish the means to discover
| the new world. The different countries
! represented some historical event on
the float.
The genius of electricity was appro-
| priately demonstrated by the float
Electra" 1t was in the form of an
| immense dragon. Over 1000 mean
| descent lights glowed from
THE MONSTERS BODY.
The colors were changed frequently,
and from the animals mouth darted a
tongue of flame. 1t was most realis-
| tic cOntriVance.
At the head of the brilliant pageant
| rode the Chicago HuSsars. followed by a
combined band of a thousand pieces.
| The route was through all of the prin-
cipal avenues. People lined every walk
| They were on top of buildings; in win.
dowS; in fact, every point of vantage
was taken long before the pageant
| started.
| The fireworks were the finest vet
| given. The magnitude of this feature
| was appalling. Rockets shot from every
corner of the White city, and a contiu-
ual sho wer of colored fire fell on every
side.
The brilliant features on the lake
front were ''Old Fort Dearborn" "rhe
Old City Hail." portrait of the first
mayor of Chicago, William B. Ogden
Chicago welcoming the world: Chicago
triumphant was the feature in front OF
the peristyle.
The largest piece of the evening was
the Burning of Chicago" which COW
cred all area OF $4,000 feet. 1t was pro-
duced in four scenes. The first illus.
trated Mrs. OLeary'S COW; second, the
kicking over of the lamp; tie fire start.
ing; thence gave realistic and correct
view of the burning of the city, closing
with the picture of Chicago in ruins.
In addition to this, flights of bombs, cas-
cades of rockets and every known va
riety of the pyrotechnic art filled oui
the evening programme. Other feat.
ures were the special illumination OF
the Wooded Island and fireworks set OF
from the water surrounding il.
