OF EXPOS. STARTED

BIG CROWDS ATTEND EXPOSITION HERE NOTWITHSTANDING COUNTER ATTRACTION.

ALL ENTERTAINMENTS GOOD

Yesterday was the beginning of the second week of the big Industrial Exposition, and, notwithstanding the clash of national base ball stars across the river, the crowds continued to visit the exposition in great numbers.

The weather continued fine and there was every opportunity for the visitors to enjoy the city, jostle with the crowds in the streets, and make the day a big one.

It was "baby show day" also, and there were many fond mothers and proud fathers with their hopefuls entered in the contest. This contest will continue till this afternoon at 4 o'clock when all entries will close. Dr. Bodenstab is making the examinations.

State Anniversary Day.

Today is state anniversary day, and last night the clan was gathering from all parts of the state. It is anticipated that this will prove one of the most interesting and pleasing days of the week. There will be many politicians who have not met in years and it will be a grand reunion. They will all visit the exhibition and note the wonderful progress of the state since the early days when they were trying to pass laws for future generations. A full report with program of the day appears elsewhere, in this issue.

The New Program.

There is an entire new program in the vaudeville line, which is a whirlwind from beginning to close. Last week's class of entertainments could not be excelled, and the array of artists this week are equal in every respect.

The Japanese contortionists and acrobats are all that could be desired and held the audience in breathless attention while they were performing their wonderful feats.

Miss Pearl Stevens, vocal soloist, has a wonderful voice and a pleasing presence which captivates the audience. Her banjo accompaniments to some of her songs made a beautiful

combination. Miss Stevens' number was well received.

The Argentinos in their whirlwind and modern dances were both beautiful and artistic, being something new and novel.

Skipper, Kennedy and Reaves in their fifteen minutes of music and harmony made a decided hit. They are a happy trio and won rounds of applause with their stunts.

The DeKock troupe, jugglers of human beings, proved themselves artists of surprising ability. Their number closed the afternoon's entertainment, sending the visitors away feeling that they had had their money's worth had they not seen a single exhibit.

"The entire vaudeville program is one which is seldom seen in the middle west."
