BoREAs GREETs DELEGATES.

In providing for the comfort and enter
tainment of her guests St. Paul has been
able to cope with every disadvantage. ex-
cept that of weather. Old Boreas handed
out some decidedly cold stuff yesterday,
and this is one fact that made the big
parade anything but q pleasure to those
that participated. Nipping the ears ami
faces of those that assembled at Rice
park for the march over the business
streets to the Auditorium, it caused the
feet of the delegates to move at a lively
rate and many at an opportune moment
to slip from the ranks and rush for
place of warmth. Nevertheless the par
ade was a big success and received
plaudits from the crowds who braved the
elements and gathered along the line of
march.
The parade, headed by a platoon of
mounted police, in charge of Lieut.. Bldy.
the Minnesota brass band and Dr. Stone
as chief marshal, began it's cold march
at o'clock, covering the major
ity Of the principal business
streets, and arriving at the
Auditorium at o'clock. DR. Stone, as
chief marshal, was assisted by Gen
Lambert, Gen. Libby, former Chief NJ.
N. Goss, Col J. M. Hawthorne, Mai E.
II. Whitcomb, Capt. W. H Hart and
Capt w. j. Murphy.

The remainder of the parade was made
up of the delegates, possibly 1,500, each
state being proceeded by a lettered ban
ner, while the individual delegates wore
a sash of yellow in addition to hand
some badge of the association.
The lower floor of the Auditorium,
which has been set aside for the de-
liberations of the association, was we'll
filled when the delegates arrived. and
their addition to those already present
made a gathering of rather respectable
proportions when the president, George
E. Haskell, of Lincoln, Neb, stepped to
the front of the stage and raped for
order. Mr. Haskell is a small man, light
in physique and evidently popular 1udg
ing from the manner in which he was
hoisted aloft on the shoulders of the
Nebraska delegation and given lift
onto the platform. His appearance was
greeted with thunderous applause Fol
lowing selection by the Minnesota
band under the direction of Prof Sell
ing, and d brief Introduction by Presi-
dent Haskell. Gov. R. S. Van SAINT came
forward and welcomed the delegates,
saying in part
