been ordained, rain or shine, for the
horned brethren possess resources
within them that defy the elements to
eclipse their joy
st. Paul Lodge No. SO will do the
honors. 1t is therefore quite needless
to predict that the hours will not lag
A shadowy outline of the programme
to be carried out will suffice to sug-
gest to the sophisticated intellect what
pleasures are in store for the jolly Wis
ltorS. Should it rain pitchforks this
programme is subject to some altera-
tIons and omissions, but for every
number skipped there will be a dupli-
cation OF the pieces de resistance The
time will be filled.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Elks
will be received by their st. Paul breth-
rem at the latter's magnificent hall on
Fourth street, near st. Peter. The re-
ception will last until 1 p. m. During
these three hours the guests will find
an opportunity to become acquainted
with the members of No. SO and also
to visit the Commercial club, which has
extended an all-day welcome to the
Elks. They will also find entertain
ment near at hand in a concert to be
given for their benefit at Rice park
by Seiberts' band, between the hours
OF 1880 and 1:30 p. m. Shortly after
they will proceed to the spacious par
lOrs of the Ryan hotel, where a gen
eral reunion and renewal of old ac-
quaintances will take place. Miss
Hopes ladies' orchestra and mandolin
club will grace this occasion by their
presence as well as by their music,
At this point the programme diverges
as it were, like two country roads, and
the Elks will enjoy the privilege of ex-
ercising their choice for they can't
go both ways at once.
Those who delight in a carriage
drive along the most picturesque resi-
dence avenue in this country, will find
carriages waiting for them at the hotel
at 23O p. M, prepared to take them
for a drive along Summit avenue, the
just pride of the Sanity City, and
through many other picturesque quar-
ters of the city commanding beautiful
views of the Father of Waters and the
green valley stretching away in the
distance
On the other hand, and here is where
the compulsory exercise of choice
comes in those Elks of an inquiring
and scientific bent, may see glowing
PCt'PApAitNANp
of knowledge by visit to Brother
Hamm's manufacturing establishment
out in the Second ward. For fear
some Of the brothers might lose their
way to this interesting landmark the
neat little pocket programme of the
days doingS lays down the following
minute directions: Take Lafayette
and ROndo street cars at corner of
Fifth and Robert. Leave the cars at
the corner Of Minnehaha and fEdgertOn
streets-only two short blocks distant
from Brother Hamm's place of busi-
ness" After the brothers find them
selves ''only two short blocks distant
from Brother Hamms place of busi-
ness" it seems to have been assumed
that further and more explicit direc-
tions were not needed. Cars will run
every six minutes, which is likewise
deemed wise provision, as the street
car company will honor Elk badges ]
announces that Brother Hamm will
entertain the visitors point out the
beautiful scenery, etc. The reception
is to last from to 5 p. m.
Other Elks there may be who will
prefer to visit Fort Smelling or Indian
Mounts. For them chartered street
cars will be in waiting from to 5
p. M, on Wabasha street between
Fourth and Fifth, and on these cars,
too Elk badges will be equivalent to
car fare.
But the gem of the day." as the
programme puts it, without intending
any reflection on Brother Hamm's re-
ception, will be the barbecue at Como
park, from 4 to 8 p. m. Cars for Como
park will run every two minutes dur
ing the afternoon and evening. The
barbecue will be given on the high
point of land across the lake and di-
rectly opposite the pavilion 1t is prom
ised that the barbecue will be all that
the name implies and will be the gem
of grand lodge week. 1t is a subject
mete for silent ina agination rather than
feeble description. The Elks will not
leave Como park at the conclusion of
the barbecue but will remain to enjoy
pyrotechnic display and a concert
by Watson's First Regiment band The
programme is as follows:
