which, added to the loyal local folks,
VIII give the city the appearance of
real old time celebration Charming
Seabury made wise selections of mis-
committeeman with the result that at
this time the smallest detail has been
provided for, and when Wednesday
comes the affair will move forward like
clockwork.
Owing to the variety of the pro-
gramme there will be something to
amuse and entertain everybody who
comes to town. The serious ceremonial
at the capitol, the sports for those who
go in for them, the parades, the music,
the lire department run, and the many
side features can hardly fail to make
the occasion memorable one.
The country's young soldiers, her vet
Grams and the city'S civil societies will
march in line: there will be fun fer
the children, and a glance at the long
list of attractions will show that great
pains have been taken in the prepara-
ton of the festivity which is to mark
the interesting event.
1t is expected that between "a, 1000 and
10000 people will be brought in on the
different roads, and these, added to the
local spectators, make up audiences
for the bicycle races, boat races, base
ball game, theatrical attractions and
the miscellaneous merrymaking which
is planned for the midway which is to
be held on Sixth street.
There will be bands and fireworks,
and gaily decorated buildings and
unique features, such as electric bat
tleships on the street car lines. twen-
tieth century cars running around the
loop, and no end Of odd phases to the
one INNER Sc potpourri Of jollity.
Chairman Rukard Hurd, his chief
deputy, w. G. Strickland, and their
aids are entitled to considerable credit
for the effective manner in which they
have devised and prepared to put into
effect the rather long and interesting
programme.
All the railroads have made excellent
arrangements to handle the great
crowds of visitors to the city on the
9th and 2Sth. during the corner stone
ceremonies and celebration. The Wis
ccnsin Central will bring passengers
to the city from as far East as Abb
bottsford, Wis, the Burlington from
La Crosse, the Great Northern from
WATERFOWL and the other roads will
carry visitors from every point in Min
nesota at a one-fare rate The tickets
for the excursions will be good until
July 80, so that every one will have
ample time to see the show and the
Twin Cities.
E. A. Young, chairman Of the trans.
portation committee for the celenra-
ton excursions, expressed himself as
much pleased with the way the rail-
road men have responded to REQUESTS
to assist the city to make the occasion
a success.
We are in receipt of letters every
day." said Mr.. Young yesterday. task.
Ing US about the celebration. and 7 am
certain the biggest crowd of people
ever seen here will be present during
the carnival. That carnival was
happy thought Of the entertainment
committee. People would rather come
mere TO see some fun rather than a
solemn stately parade, and the nro-
gramme devised by the COMMITTEES in
sCres plenty of entertainment for old
and young. 1t will be a gigantic cireus
and will always be pleasant menorv
for the city,"
