FALL FESTIVITIES AT ST. LOUIS
September 9th to October Oath, 1896
A Grand Continuous Reign of Mirth,
Melody and Mystery.

The committee having in charge
the St. Louis Fall Festivities, which
have contributed so much to the
pleasures of the good people of the
Mississippi valley as well as those
residing in adjacent states, again
announces its program covering the
nineteenth annual season of mirth,
melody and mystery. After a VOL
luminous correspondence, carried on
with the aid of Uncle Sans postal
service and mysterious messengers
from foreign lands, it was decided
that all the novelties of the world,
including the queens of song, kings
of humor, princes of melody and
wiseacres Of mystery, could by
land, water and aerial fight, reach
St. Louis by September 9th, 1896,
and take their places on her carni-
val stage where no curtain will drop
between the twilights of Septem'
Der 9th and October oath.

the program of gilt is the opening
OF the Thirteenth Annual St. Louis
Exposition, which throws it's doors
open to the public September 9th,

for all wishing to be delighted with
its magnificent displays and enrap-
tured by the straius of Gilmore
and Innes' peerless bands.
The master of ceremonies next
announces our newly discovered
but highly esteemed friend, King
Hotu, Supreme High Chief of the
