The Dunbars Are Good.
In the mention of the vaudeville
acts as the exposition theatre h act
known as the Dunbars was = over
looked. This is one of the, cleverest
acts on the bill consisting of singing,
dancing. talking and clever imita-
| lions. MI. Dunbar is one of the best
animal imitators that has ever been
heard in the state and he has the
house in a continual round Of ap-
| plause and laughter all the time he
is on, the stage. Miss Dunbar is a
clever actress with a fine stage ap-
pearance and assists to a great extent
in making the act h hit that it is.
Lockwoods Clever Entertainers.
The Musical Lockwoods who are
giving daily programmes both after
noon and evenings in the halls of the
exposition building are an exceedingly
clever team. They play a number
of instruments, including the chimes,
s~aXaphone, Swiss bells and trombone.
They are not one of the noisy slam
bang teams so often found in Vaude-
! vile but play high class music in a
way that. is very entertaining.
School Work in Basement.
One-of the most interesting exhibits
in the entire building is in the base
ment, a good part of which has been
given over to the work of the school
| children of the state. There are speci-
mems of work from the, schools Of
many counties and all grades Of
schools are represented from h
smallest one room rural to the best
high schools in North Dakota. There
are fine exhibits from the consoli-
dated rural schools of the state and
the showing is interesting in as much
las it shows what the children of the
state are being taught. 1t is impos-
sible to go into~.detail in the matter
as there is such a mass of stuff shown
but it is we'll worth while to go to
the basement where one may spend
hours examining the different kinds of
work done. 5> 49,
y Great Vegetable Show.
The individual entries in the vege-
table class are also so shown in the
basement. Great benches and shelves
are loaded down with the product of
the garden and filed and one can
hardly believe that it was grown in
this state. Everything shown Is of
enormous size and of the best quality.
There is about everything one can
think of from peanuts to enormous
COW beets. There are cabbages that
Will hardly fit into a bushel basket,
cucumbers that could not be accom-
modated in q u case, n everything
else in the same proportions. There is
an endless array of fruits shown that
1t was supposed could not be brought
to maturity in this state. Tomatoes
of great size and delicious flavor, pota-
toes that are formible rivals for the
famous great big baked potato OF
the Northern Pacific and onions with
size to measure up to their strength.
There are carrots as large as ordinary
beets and celery, long, slender and
tender. There are muskmelons as
large as Georgia watermelons that
would put a pumpkin to shame for
size. There are %parsnips, parsley, peas
and peppers, spinach, sorghum and
sweet corn, and in fact, about every
thing in the vegetable world.
Dancing Pavilion Popular.
The dancing room in the machinery
hall was well patronized last evening
after the show and a large number Of
couples tripped the light fantastic I'M
til a late hour. Hurley orchestra is
furnishing the music and the dance
: hall promises to prove one of the most
popular places in the building after
the regular routine of the evening has
been completed.
Ladies Serve Lunches.
The ladies' guild of the Episcopal
church have secured the concession
for serving lunches and have put up
their place Of business in the domestic
science room on the main floor. They
are serving coffee, sandwiches and
cake and pie to those who do not de-
sire to leave the building for their
meals. They had a nice run yester-
day and the day before and besides
accommodating the public they will be
able to make a tidy sum for their
church work.
