Progress Being Made in the Sew
eraT Great Features of the
-, Gala Week. srr.

In all the past festivities of mag
hitude given in this city the citizens
have not manifested nearly so much
interest as they have already evinced
in the street carnival and street
parades and pageants for fair week
Interest in the affair has developed
into boom, and without question
it will be one of the most memorable
affairs of its kind ever. held in the
Northwest. The people are just in
the mood for such a thing, and the
prospect of turning the streets into
theaters and Illuminated gardens of
revelry has touched the popular
pulse. 1t will be an entertainment
in which every resident of this city
will have an individual interest, for it
is a great rejoicing over the return
of prosperity, and "breathes there a
man with soul so dead, who never
to himself hath said, prosperity is
my long suit, and I'll jollify?" The
bicyclists of the city have responded
to the call for bicycle parade with
alacrity, and it is more than prob
able that two-thirds of the wheelmen
in the city and suburbs will be in
line on Tuesday night. All will come
with gaily decorated wheels, and
the sight under the brilliant illumi-
nations will be an imposing and
brilliant one.
The report of progress submitted
at the meeting of the general COM
mittee at the Commercial club yes
terday were flattering in the extreme,
and it was found that all the plans
may be carried out in their entirety,
with the exception of a parade by
the regular troops at Fort Smelling
Col. Page finds that it will be i'm
possible to turn out the Third regi-
ment, owing to army regulations,
and he refused similar request from
the Mill City. However, it is hoped
to turn out so many of the local
military and semi-military organiza-
tons that the regulars will not be
missed very much, though there is
no question that they would add
materially to the military display.
Col. c. S. Bunker has the affair in
charge, and is working away like
a whole hive of bees to make his
part of the programme a great sue
cess.
William A. Van Slyke, who has al
ways been the prime mover in the
matter of street decorations and il
Nominations, reported that the work
in his line is well under way, and
says that the street Examinations will
arUthinO lyiT1d Owe
witnessed here even in the palmiest
days of the ice palaces. Mr.. Kennedy,
who has been placed in charge of the
wheelmen's parade, has called meet
ing of the cyclists at the Commercial
club for Friday night, and every own
er of a wheel, no matter whether it is
a safety or an unsafety, is cordially
invited to be present. The Germans
have charge of the street carnival,
which will occur Friday night, and are
making handsome progress. In all
likelihood hundreds Of maSkerS will
take part in this unique celebration.
The matter of making an exhibit of
grains and ores was again discussed
and put over until October, at which
time it is planned to make such a
display as will attract large crowds
from all parts of the. country. A
wheat and grain palace will undoubt-
edly be erected then and it will be
on a magnificent scale. Hereafter the
general committee will meet at the
Commercial club at 1870 each day to
hear reports from subcommittee. 1t
has been learned that all funds nee
essary for this celebration can and
will be secured, so that all that re-
mains to be done now is to boom the
carnival and boost it to a success
full conclusion.
