A PRETTY OPENING.
BOSTON ONE-PKICE MAKES A
DISPLAY
That Calls Out Vast Throng
OF feople-Music and
Flowers.

Never since the days when Third
street used to be Illuminated during
State Fair week has such a throng Of
people been seen on that thoroughfare
as promenaded last night between the
hours of 8 and IL. or while the excellent
concert provided by the Boston One
Price Clothing House lasted. Always
enterprising, Messrs. Buwlby s. Co.
have now fairly UutdOne anything that
they have before attempted. If their
aim was to furnish frSt-claSS
evenings entertainment to the
citizens of st. Paul. as we'll
as to the cruwds of visitors who are at
present doing the State Fair, they Ter
tainly succeeded in doing so. and on an
elaborate scale. 1t of course is impos-
sible for one firm to illuminate Third
street, but so we'll did the Boston sue
coed in lighting up the handsome store
on the corner Of Robert and Third
streets. that for several blocks each
way it almost seemed as though the
illumination was general. On balcony
built out in front OF the store and artist
ic4lly draped with American flags,
Seibert's full military band of twenty
four pieces was stationed, and during
the evening rendered the following
concert programme:
March-"Greater New York" Hosman
Selection-"Nanon" Genee
Overture-"CrOwn Diamonds" ..Auber
Waltz-"TObaska" ..-....... Chadwick
American Patrol" 80. Meacham
S,'leciiol-"Slave Songs of the
Popular Mediey-"rid Bits" 1880. Boyer
Galop-"Good Night. ...Auerbach
In response to the generous applause
received, Mr.. Slebert gave several extra
numbers. 1t is probable that during
/ the evening, 10000 people visited the
store and stayed for few numbers of

the music could still he heard. The
streets in the neighborhood presented
lively appearance, being completely
] thronged with people, as was
also the store. The decora-
tons, which were furnished by
L. l.. May & Co.. were exquisite. No

anu Ill convenient places around on the
flrst floor were disposed great palms
and beautiful ported plants 1t is prob
able that 500 would not cover the
expense to which the firm has gone
each evening TO provide an expensive
and high-class entertainment, free, to
the people who visit the store on any
one of the five nights this week. The
first concert occurred Tuesday night,
and there will be another tonight, of
which the programme is published
