The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-09

No more popular place can be found
in this city this week than the OLD
Market house with its manufacturers
exhibit down stairs and its bench show
up stairs. The only thing to be regret
ted about the entire affair is the un-
fortunate lack of space which does not
allow Of the proper display of the truly
handsome exhibits of the local manu-
facturers at the food show, and sadly
interferes with the enjoyment of the
demonstrations.
The entire hall has been decorated
with the greatest Of taste and 1t seems
a pity the effect should be spoiled by
crowdng.
There were geo people in attendance
yesterday. and the booths were crowd
ed all day by those anxious to taste
the delicious samples given to each new
conner.
Ii NAV he that the morning hours
were the pleasanter The attendants
had not yet grown weary, there
were fewer people, and the ladies' IN
charge of the booths were less rushed
and had more time TO devote to lndl-
V!duas
The girls from the st. Paul High
school orchestra were among the early
morning visitors taking a peep at tine
show between rehearsals.
They eailv sampled all of the bis
Cuffs eriddle cakes. syrupS, co1ees ana
fruits. and then made a critical eH-
animation of the stand they are to oc-
emmy the last of the week, Wheh IL
comes their turn to furnish the mus
cal programme. The stand is some
nine or ten feet above the moor ot nc
hail and is reached by steep hlSht OIL
stems The girls determined they couid
rrach the top all right, but went OIL IN
haste TO seek the building inspector
and learn if the elevation was in every
way safe And they will insist on
fire escape.
Jesse Gregg and Harry Black were
also morning callers and after pelng
Informed that they were expected to
dcvour three dinners during the after
noon. they in turn hurried away TO

The excitement at Groff's booth ran
hieh all day. and fresh help was re-
ouired to serve the visitors with cof-
fee and biscuits.
Mrs. T. B. Wheelock was in charge
of this booth, assisted by Mrs. Bernler.
Mrs. Elmer Moses, who is in charge
of the Crescent Creamery exhibit,
wears a rabbits foot. She has served
dainty ice cream and tiny glasses OF
milk each day.
In the afternoon the crowd began to
gather and the Seibert orchestra was
promptly on hand and rendered a popu-
lar programme, which was hugely en-
joyed by every one.
The music, by the way, for the pure
food show has been the best the city
afforded. Monday afternoon Miss
Hope and her childrens' orchestra de-
lighted the people, and in the evening
the Twin City Mandolin orchestra gave
a most excellent programme. Yester-
day Seibert's men furnished the after
noon programme and last evening ia
cob Danz was heard in trombone solo
accompanied by Miss DanZ.
