The banquet in honor of j. j. HiEv
which is to take place on the evening Of
the third day Of the celebration, June
9, will be one of the greatest events Of
that weeks pageant. About the same
board will sit some of the most promi-
nent men of this country and of Canada
men who have been either business
associates or admirers of the railroad
president in whose honor the dinner is
given. The banquet committee has
already received assurances from many
prominent men in Chicago, New York
and other Eastern cities that they will
be present on this occasion, and the
committee is arranging to entertain
these distinguished guests in suitable
manner. The list of home guests who
will attend includes the most prominent
business and professional men in the
Twin Cities.
AT this early hour many of the invited
guests from abroad have already re,
spOnded. accepting the invitation,
Among those expected, and most OF

tions, are: Sir Donald A. Smith and
Lord Mount-Stephen, of Montreal; Ii.

the Chase National bank; Mr.. Hughitt,
of Chicago, president of the Northwest
ern road; Marshall Field, D. S. A.
SSSpFasSre p L. Armour L. l. u PnEteFF,,
of Chicago; John S. Kennedy and Jacob
Ii. Schiff, of New York. From hong
there are Gov. Nelson and Senator T.. H
Davis. Others as prominent in public
life as those mentioned above have also
accepted.
1t is difficult for the most imaginative
to picture i'll his mind what the parade
of June will be. The committee in
charge cannot tell, for the subject =.
Grows in Magnitude
and Importance daily. AS one of the
artists remarked yesterday, ut will be
equal to anything ever witnessed in this
country" 1t will be different, however,
from the parades which have made st.
Louis and New Orleans renowned. The
floats of the latter are wholly Orna-
mental. They are Partisan fancies,
without any significance to local indns-/
tries. The floats to be seen iA~Inls
parade will not only ba~ Ornamental
and artistic. hGt-cmDlematic of these
Northwestern and Western states,
passes, of the city of st. Paul, and
The business men of st. Paul are
making special efforts 10 be we'll repre-
sented on this day. Large sums Of
money are being lavishly expended on
the decorations of floats. But not until
the day of the parade will the public
know what they have designed. The
committee on floats asks those who have
declG>d on plans and designs to notify
Secretary Seek, of the JObberS' union,
of the same. As-Soon as this notice has
been given, one of tie committee will
call on the firm and givc~a permit, il
the float is satisfactory, enC%Siug the
owners of the float to position IN the
parade The committee has decided TO
not allow trucks and wagons in the BAR
ade without they have some special dis.
play on them. If this rule were not put
in force the parade would be without an
end. This was one Of the great objec-
tions to the Willard parade. Almost
everything was permitted in the line,j
and the people along the route were
compelled 10 wait patiently while load
after load of lumber and coal passed in
review. The idea is to have parade
which will be
Attractive and Instructive.
Every minute something new, pleas
ing to the eye, will pass. 1t Wllllbe an
object lesson-a history of the modes OF
transportation in the Northwest.
The committee on decorations has re-
ceiyed %, 900 specially designed flags,
known as the Great Northern flag 1t
is in blue and white. with red and white
lettering. They come in three sizes
and will be placed on sale very soon.
These flags will be used largely in dec4
orations, and the effect will be very
pretty. Mr.. RobertsOn's plan of dec
Grating the city without special regard
to the line of march is meeting with
general approval. 1t is the wish OF the
committee to have every store and every
house in the principal parts of the city
decorated.
The Minneapolis committee is rapidly
determining what kind of an exhibit
that city shall have in the parade. 1t is
reported that four Flour City interests
are to be emphasized, the lumber, job
bing, milling and farm implements.
They will be of sufficient prominence to
represent the city properly.
