The ST. Paul winter carnival of 1896
will end in blaze of glory tonight,
and, judging by the attendance upon
the other special events, will be wit
messed by a big share of the popula-
ton of the Twin Cities. The fire king
with his all merry devils will be on
hand, and after repeated assaults will
overpower the allied forces Of Borealis
Rex and the Sioux Indians, burning
the stockade and block house. 1t will
take a long time to do this, however,
and the rex who sways the icy sceptre
will put up a strong fight.
The storming of the fort will be the
grand climax of the carnival, and those
who have witnessed the last night of
former carnivals we'll know what a
magnificent sight it will be- The fire
works display will last about one hour,
commencing as soon as the grand pa
rade of carnival clubs reaches the fort
from the city. In this part of the pro-
gramme every conceivable device
known to the art of pyrotechnics will
be employed.
When the clubs reach the grounds
each member will be supplied with
number of Roman candles, and while
these are being utilized Maj. Pardee
and his assistants will see that the air
is kept full of rockets and bombs and
shells and all the other kinds of ammu-
milton appropriately adopted to use Of
a mighty fire king. The forces will
march upon the block house and, after
seeing it nicely enveloped in flames,
will complete their victory by driving
the Indians from the stockade and
burning.
The parade will be a grand feature
of the night. An important change
has been made in the line of march.
Instead of forming at the Hotel Ryan,
as before, the clubs will gather at
o'clock at Third and jackson streets,
and make as early a start as possible
"he procession will then move UP
Third to Robert. along Robert to Sixth,
up Sixth to Summit, on Summit to Mel
son. out Nelson to Western, over to
Marshall and along Marshall to Kent,
and from thence will make the entrance
to Fort Karnival. The following pro-
gramme will be followed out:
Approach of the army
heVelry within the castle.
SentinelS discover the enemy.
fusiade by attacking party on all Sides
Defense by the royal troops.
capture OF the palace
Explosion OF the magazines
flhal destruction OF block house by fire.
fof this spectacle, which is to be
added to by several set pieces, Col.
Pardee and his henchmen are putting
forth their best efforts, and there is
no doubt that it will excel the DreviOus
one.
The First battalion of the First reg
1ment, under Maj. Price, will head the
parade, and will clear the way for the
carnlValiers. The formation will be as
follows:
First division, under. command Of Marshal
John Hardy, On Fourth street, with right rest
ing Robert.
Second division, containing the ladies and
commanded by Marshal ]. ]. Ryder, on Jack
son street, with right resting on Third
Third division George Lambert marshal
on Third, with right resting on Robert
Fourth division, under Lieut.. Whine, on
Robert, with right resting on Third.
Iho TWO kings, the queen and the
Jacks will take their floats at the Mer-
chants hotel, and the floats will be
given place near the head of the pro-
cesslon, SO that they may pull out at
Marshal avenue and Kent street and
time.
1t has been suggested that, in order
10 neutrallze the rush, people should
Try 20 get their tickets down town and
avoid the rush.
The presence Of the First regiment is
going to add materially to the interest
and the effect. The following order has
been issued:
