The bicycle parade came off last eve.
ming on Front street and was witnessed
by great crowd. For some reason or
other the wheel riders of the city did
not cooperate in making the pa
rade large one, but what
there was of it was interesting. Anum-
Der of young ladies and girls were
beautifully costumed and rode grace
fully upon decorated wheels. Men and
boys, some on decorated wheels, made
up the balance of the parade The
riders went down Front street and
back.
The judges were Rev. S. D. Works,

The Exhibits.

A round among the booths where
the exhibits were being placed late
Tuesday, found everyone busy getting
things in shape, and everywhere the
work was well along.
The art and fancy work exhibit is To-
Gated in the vacant store building next
to the Savings bank. There the ladies
were very busy and were fast bringing
order out of chaos, The paintings
were largely in place, and the fancy
work was fast b ing arranged. The
display of both art and fancy work is
good and the indications are that it
will surpass that of last year.
At the Cherry street booth exhibits
of all kinds were being arranged.
Every line of vegetables and grain was
represented, and there were some fine
specimens eff each The potato exhibit
was especially fine one, while the
pumpkins, corn, squashes, celery, cab
bage, etc., presented most attractive
appearance. The exhibit of pantry
stores presented very inviting appear
ance, while fine display of apples,
plums, grapes and other fruit was be-
ing put in place.
At the lower booth on Plum street
Windmiller & Sons have very fine
display of plants of all kinds and also
of vegetables, in which about every
thing in that line is represented. Sew
eral manufacturing interests were also
represented with nicely arranged dis
plays, among which we noticed the
Hubbard Milling Co., Fowler & Pay,
cement, brick and lime, the Mankato
Cement Co. The Mankato Awning &
Tent Co.t,eA booth nicely fixed up,
representing the grains of Manitoba
attracted much attention, This exhibit
was at the state fair last week 80.

The baby show came off this forenoon
in Joseph Manderfeld's building on
Cherry street, and it attracted such a
degree of interest that there was solid
jam there while the show was in pro-
gress. Thirty entries were made, and
the babies were as bright and pretty a
lot as eyer were gotten together 1t is
no wonder that their mammas were
proud of them.
The judges were f. E. Crandall,

THE hAAK |. /:
Second Annual r air. and Harvest Festival a
GSas,iug Success.
Report of the FIRST Three Days--ExhEbifs
and Fair Notes.

Mankato's second annual harvest festi
val and street fair opened Tuesday with
every prospect of its being memor
able success. The first day is devoted
always to the preparation, and so it was
today. Entries were made, booths got
ten in order, tents pitched, buildings
decorated, and the finishing touches
put wherever needed 1t was day of
hard work for all, but the big fair was
taking form and everybody worked
with will.
The weather is simply magnificent
thus far, and if the next three days are
like today there will be a great cause
for rejoicing. A north wind blew
cool out of a cloudless sky and filled
everybody with ambition and cheerful
spirit
The secretary's Office has been busy
place, and many of the exhibits that
have been entered have been stored I'M
til tomorrow, as the manage
ment has extended the time for
getting the displays in place until to-
morrow noon. Every department is
we'll represented, and the booths are
objects of much interest and will be
crowded with people from now on,
E. ]. Sheldon has been appointed
superintendent of the Cherry street
booth and A. H. Beebe night watch
man. Richard Jones is superintendent
of the art and fancy needle work de-
partment.

FROM THURSDAYS DALEY.

The third day of the street fair
opened cool and cloudy, but with
threatening rain The roads leading to
the city we're filled with streams of
teams and the railroads brought crowds
from surrounding towns and from long
distances. Nature has favored the
street fair abundantly, giving the finest
kind of weather and good roads.
The air was again filled with the har-
mony of music from many bands today
and the booths and fakirs' tents were
crowded with restless throngs of people
bent on seeing all that there was to see.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the
fair, and big crowd is expected, An
attractive program has been arranged
to cover the entire day. and it will
doubtless be one of the best days of the
fair.

The Industrial Parade.

The industrial parade took place at
about 11:30 this forenoon and while
not as large as some that have hereto
fore taken place, it probably surpass-
ed anything heretofore attempted in
the pains taken to get up something
attractive in the way of floats. Several
were especially attractive, and all at
tracted attention and favorable com.
ment from the large crowds along the
streets. from the manner in which each
was designed to represent the various
lines of business. The parade formed
at the corner of Second and Walnut
and passed up Second to Jackson and
from Jackson to Front passing up and
down the length of the street. Among
those taking part in the parade we
noticed:
o. W. Schmidt, showing a Goth CEN
fury harness.
Geo. E. Brett, dry goods.
Geo. B. Owen, bicycles
Minneapolis Brewing Co.
Sch. Zimmerman, hardware.

The Burlesque Parade.


The burlesque parade was an hour
late in starting last night owing to the
many persons who had to be made up
by the one costuner. It got under way
at nine o'clock under the charge of Mar
shall Frisbie, assisted by Aides Mead,
johnson and Bowen. The parade was
great success, and contained num-
Der and variety of features that were
simply bewildering In part it was a
take off on various men and institu-
tions in Mankato, and a good deal of
fun was had out of it,
Front street was densely packed with
people, particularly from Plum to
Cherry streets, many thousands turn
ing out to witness the parade. Red
light was burned at intervals, and the
strings of incandescents across the
street added light and beauty to the
scene. Still there was hardly light
enough for the spectators to see all of
the features distinctly.
The procession included about every
thing under the sun, and it would take
too much space to describe or even re-
fer to each feature. There was music
in plenty, woman's band, $4,000
beauty, Mckinley and his cabinet,
Grover Cleveland, Boss Croker, Gen.
Alger, and several prominent Mankato
residents, including Judge Severance
and James Shoemaker, the school
board, police force, etc. ALI were
made up to closely represent the charac
tiers impersonated, and the more extin-
guished rode in open hacks.
The board of education discussed
weighty subjects, decided to elect new
teachers, cut salaries down, dispense
with the janitors in the interest of eco
nomy, decreed a general vaccination
and gave the scholars weeks vacation
The president had difficulty in maintain
ing order at times, and boxing gloves

The program of special events of the
day opened at $50 o'clock with a con.
cert by G. L. Kings band at the Cherry

concert by the same band at the
Plum street booth. Both were much
enjoyed.
CThe st. Peter band arrived early in the
afternoon and Immediately proceeded
to give serenade in honor of Mrs.
Fred H. Snyder in the rotunda of The
Saulpaugh. At two o'clock it gave a
concert at the Plum street booth, and

booth.
At $50 o'clock in the afternoon a

the Mankato and Henderson teams was

At 400 o'clock the balloon ascension

North Mankato, with a parachute leap.
This will be repeated each afternoon at
400 o'clock at the same place and is
well worth seeing. p

o'clock and closed at 10 80 o'clock today,

Mrs. Davidson. Of GAINESVILLE, Loses sz7
at Mankato Junction.

Mrs. Davidson, of Janesville was one
of the people who came in on last eve.
ning's Northwestern train to see the
street fair and perhaps to do some
shopping. She reported to the police
that she was robbed of her pocket
book at Mankato junction. The book
contained S27 in money and her return
ticket. She does not know exactly
know when she was robbed, but thinks
that it was just as she stepped into the
stub train at the station. As she was
not aware of the robbery at the time,
the officers haye no description of the
pick pocket.
Miss Minnie Johnson, who lives on
North Second, lost her pocket book
yesterday afternoon, and it was pro-
badly stolen. 1t contained some ,sma l
change and certificate of deposit on
the First National bank.

he found his vest unbuttoned and a.
long pocketbook that he carried in his
inside vest pocket gone. The pocket
book contained $3.50 in bills and two
notes to the value of $500 to s4OO. Mr..
Conklin has no idea who the thief was.
but he reported his loss to the police.
A young lady was robbed of $40
while standing in the Cherry street
booth during the middle of the fore
noon
A stranger reported to the police this
afternoon that he lost his pocketbook
