Yesterday afternoon the pure food
| show was we'll attended, although the
crowds so far have not been up to the
expectation of the management, pre-
sumably because an admission fee is
charged this year. This fact, however,
ought not keep the citizens of st. Paul
from attending the show, as 10 cents
Is but a small sum to pay for so large
a show.
The musical programme every after
noon proves a drawing card with the
| crowds, and the exhibitors all have
ample facilities for accommodating a
| large crowd
| entertained and instructed a gOod-siZed
audience of ladies during the afternoon
In the lecture room On the second floor.
The attendance last night was quite
large. Many delegates to the grocers'
| convention visited the exposition and
made the acquaintance of exhibitors
| and demonstrators. They seemed very
much impressed with the plan of ex-
hlb1t1ng manufactures and food prod
ucts and expressed surprise when they
saw how many different kinds of goods
are made in st. Paul. They were all
| certain that the exposition would Gre
ate demand among grocers and other
| business men throughout the state for
| st. Paul goods
| AT every booth demonstrations were
| given during the evening while the or
