ton building. April 10 to "a This is
now an assured fact, as the managers
OF What to Eat" the local food peri
odical, have secured from the managers
the use Of the entire third floor Of the
Exposition building for a food show.
Among those who have signified their
intention Of making exhibits are Bens-
dorp's cocoa, the Pillsbury- Washburn
Flour Mill company, the st. Paul Syrup
Refining company, Minneapolis Yeast
company, and several others. This
show will not be limited to foods, but
will contain everything used in con-
nection with the kitchen and dining
room, such as kitchen utensils and din
ing room furnishings and decorations.
S. E. Olson & Co. will build a model
banquet hall.
What to Eat will, perhaps, have
the most extravagant exhibit, and the
Household Economic association has
already spoken for space
o. H. Rask is in charge Of the pre-
liminaries for the food show.
There will be no extra charge for
seeing the food show, as it will attract
a large number of ladies particularly
and others who would not have gone
to the bicycle show had that been the
only attraction. Besides the exhibits
now arranged for, there will be num-
Der of other attractions
1t is expected to have the largest
poster exhibit that has ever been
shown in the Northwest. This exhibit
will contain all the best posters pro-
duced in this country, as we'll as
abroad, and will be on the third floor.
A course of cooking lectures will be
given in what was formerly used for
the dining hall. Exhibitors can have
two weeks, if they so desire, to prepare
their booths and exhibits.
The kaleidoscope people wired yeSter-
day that the pictures of the Corbett-
F'itZsimmons fight would be on hand
to open April 10, and a spacious apart
ment hung entirely in black is to be
prepared for the kaleidoscope show. The
kaleidoscope pictures were finished up
and shipped East yesterday. 1t is I'M
derstOOd from kilograms received in
Minneapolis that the photographic
process was entirely successful.
Intense interest is being created
among the racing wheelmen of Mime
apOliS in the series of races to be held
during the big show. There will be d
race every afternoon, for which special
prizes are to be offered, and it is eX-
pected, with good reason, that the best
riders in the Northwest will be present
to compete. John S. Johnson has writ
ten that he would be in Minneapolis
in time for the show.
Il have only partially recovered from
my late Illness" he says, land l am
not sure yet whether | shall attempt to
go into training this season or not. AS
IL
. asked the doctor whether l should be
able to train for this years racing. He
told me it would be a good deal better
to lie quiet, but / have picked up so
rapidly that it is yet possible | may be
able to go on the circuit in 1897. l am
going to be in Minneapolis all through
the show, and as l expect to sign with
the Spalding company Immediately, 1t
is possible l may be there in their in
terest."
Helen Baldwin, in a letter received
yesterday by the management Of the
cycle show, denies that she has signed
a contract with a Chicago firm to eX-
hibit their wheels for 1897 and that she
will be here during the show in the ca
pacity Of a saleswoman. On this Helen
saws: TT is time enough for me to go
into the salesWoman business when /
am nc longer able to hold my own on
the track; as matters stand at present
1 am feeling well and propose to get my
share of the money in the coming few
months / am going to be among the
bunch that starts there when the cycle
show opens"
Jimmy Michael, the welsh rarebit, -
who leaves shortly for the coast 10
start in on the circuit races for the
season of 1897, announces his intention
Of spending a couple of weeks here
with John S. Johnson before going to
the coast. Michael and Johnson be-
came great friends while the latter was
in Europe last year
1t will cost $4,000 to get the dogs to-
gether that will attract public attention
at the first bench show Of the Mime
apolis Kennel club. If it were not that
the Minneapolis cycle show came in the
same week and was held in the same
building, it is doubtful whether the of
ficers of the kennel club would have
ventured to expend so much money.
1t was recognized, however, that in
holding the two exhibitions at one time
that portion Of the public not used TO
dog shows, would have a chance af-
fOrded it to admire the many fine ami
mails owned in the Northwest while
the dog owners and fanciers would be
afforded the chance to size up the best
things going in wheels.
Since Secretary Brown, of the kennel
club announced that the show would
be held, his office has been almost as
crowded as that of the cycle show man
ayers. There has been a very marked
improvement in the class Of hunting
dogs owned in the Twin Cities during
the last few years, and when the lot
are punched in a show 1t will be found
that this part Of the country is not
so very far behind what it should be
as one Of the best hunting territories
in the United States. A number Of the
most enthusiastic dog men IN Mime
apolis are working hard for the success
Of the 1897 kennel show and it is bound
to be q 60
Three of the most prominent handlers
Of wheels In Minneapolis took space yes
terday, and the few dealers remaining
out are confidently expected to swing
into line within a week.
General interest is being excited In
the coming twenty nile race from MIN
netonka to Minneapolis between the va
rious horseless carriages. The New
York World refers to this as the first
really practical trial Of the kind that
has ever been made, and points out
that wherever such trials have occurred
hitherto the weather conditions or the
state Of the roads has been such as to
preclude the possibility OF anything
like a fair test.
There seems to b. a craze among
manufacturers this year for mounting
specimens of their wheels in from SlO-
600 to $50, 900 worth of jewels. One Min
neapolis jeweler has been given con-
tract to mount a wheel Of a we'll
known maize with $4,000 worth Of dia-
monds, ard the work will be COM
menced tomorrow. There are at least
three other bejeweled wheels to be on
exhibition here.
