The management Of the exposition
has decided to open the corn palace
to the public Monday evening, instead
of the afternoon. DeBaugh's band
will arrive in the afternoon from
Chicago and the members will thus
be given an opportunity to rest before
the evenings entertainment. The
exposition will be opened with prayer
by President Graham, Of the Univer-
sity, and an address will be delivered
by Mayor Silsby, who will formally
declare the opening of the fourth
annual exposition. Prof. DeBaugh's
band will occupy the rest Of the even
ing with a concert. The programs
for the first two days have been re-
ceived and they indicate that the band
will give entire satisfaction.
President Gale, who is looking after
the attractions on the street during
the exposition, has secured some
splendid talent that will amuse the
crowds when the concert is over in
the corn palace. One of the strong
features will be Count DeButts, the
wonderful bicycle trick--rider. He
performs countless and seemingly
impossible tricks OH his wheel and
does them with a gr%acefulness that
shows great ability III. his part.
The count will be seen on the street
every day. j. III. Jackson has also
been engaged for street work. He is
a contortionist, does an act on the
trapez, flying rings, and the sailor
perch, allsof which will be a great
card. Malcolm Anderson was secured
this moning as another street attrac-
tion. He does a juggling and balanc-
ing act that is counted II of the
very best for street work. Every one
of the men secured for outside work
is away up in his profession and will
prove a splendid drawing card for the
exposition management. Bands from
Woonsocket, Parker, Chamberlain,
also the Indian band, with the State
Band of Mitchell will furnish music
on the street every day Of the expo
sition. With all of these features
the street will be as lively as the most
anxious heart could wish for. Mr..
Gale expects to have two stands erect
ed on Main street on which the
special acts will be given during the
morning and afternoon, and also FROM
which the bands will. discourse music
during the day. There will not be
a dull moment in Mitchell from the
time the exposition opens until it
closes. The management is making
every effort to give the home people
and outside visitors the best show
that was ever held in Mitchell under
similar circumstances and the indi-
cations arch that the people will be
satisfied with the show in every par
tlcular.
Aphora. the premier danseuse, has
#-r
been added to the attractions in the
corn palace building and will appear
at each performance, afternoon and
| evening. Four beautiful acts all in
one. Fine stage settings, grand
costuming. Her electrical dances
are beautiful and with the aid of
electricity makes one Of the most at
tractlve acts ever given. Her per-
Torrance lasts 20 minutes.
During the last three days Of the
exposition Reeds Fourth Regiment
band of Sioux City has been engaged
to assist in the musical features o
the corn palace. This musical organ
ization has alfine reputation over the
northwest, and will prove an add,
tional attraction.
