The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-12


Interest still continues in the manu-
facturers' exhibit in Market hall, and
yesterday saw fully as many people
pass through the big doors as on the
day before. At the Hamm exhibit 1000
souvenirs were given away, and then
the supply gave out. That was at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The music was excellent.
Thursday evening Hyliard's orchestra
furnished one Of the best programmes
given during the week.
Prof. Danz and his men were in at
tendance yesterday, and gave a some
what longer programme than has been
had before. Though the shortness Of
the programmes has not been the fault
of the musicians, but rather for lack
Of time.
The competitive dinners yesterday
were the chief attractions during the
afternoon. The tables were artistically
laid and decorated with great punches
of roses, and when the hour for serv
ing came such elaborate, and at the
same time, dainty menus were offered
as to quite test the judgment of the
women to whom was left the delicate
task of deciding which dinner was the
best in every way.
of potato just a little favored above
the other two by the judges.
The meats were wonderfully tender
for the price, and were well cooked.
The fish was beautifully garnished
though this was additional and was
not Included in the cost of the dinner.
The breads, cheese sticks and sand
witches were all daintily made and in
every detail was the competition close.
However, the women did not discuss
the merits of the several dinners with
one another, but cast their ballots
alone and the result was unanimous in
favor of the first table, which was ar
ranged by Mrs. Wheelock, who did not
compete before.
The second prize went to Mrs. Lind
blonl, and the third to Mrs. Oberg, the
judges voting alike in all cases. This
was somewhat remarkable, and spoke
all the more highly in favor of the
winning Woman's menu. But in point
of fact, there was very little difference
in the menus throughout. They were
all excellent and worthy Of the great
est praise.
