The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-06-09

Unless all signs fail the twelfth BIZ
ennial head camp Of the Modern Wood
men of America, which conVenes in ST.
paul tomorrow, will be the most success
full in the history of the order and the
attendance is certainly going to be the
largest on record. Only bad weather can
prevent the coming of at least a hundred
thousand visitors it is thought.
The programme of entertainment is
more elaborate than that offered by
any previous convention. While the pro-
ceedings of the convention will be of
interest to members of the order only,
there are events in connection that are
both novel and attractive to the public
generally. The massing of over 100 uni
formed drill teams at Camp Northcot,
their parades and drills, and the COM
petition of bands that will accompany
them, VIII excite a great deal of atten-
ton. The parade Thursday morning
should be an impressive spectacle, as it
is expected 1860 men will be in line. 1t
VIII be almost as SNOWY as a military
pageant, for there viii be seventy-five
bands and twenty floats, besides the
WoOdman camps and the Forester teams,
which viii execute all the movements
OF the manual.
Another parade will be given Tuesday
afternoon, when the Forester teams turn
out as an escort for Company c, which
is to give an exhibition of historical mill
taIy drills at the Auditorium that night.
The programme of prize drill, band COM
petitions automobile and motor cycle
races at the state fair grounds Thursday
afternoon. and a big vaudeville show
at the Auditorium follows in the evening,
is calculated to furnish some fine sport.
Then there is to be a monster picnic,
with a dinner and ball, at Hotel st. Louis,
Lake Minnctonka, Friday, and besides
many impvomptu parades and social
expects to keep open house. and there are
excursions on the river to Minneapolis
and other points Of interest, which will
furnish a rare week of sightseeing and
enjoyment for the visitors.
