It Was Illustrated in the Mag nificent Industrial Parade of Yesterday, When the Greatest Turnout of All Carnivals Was on Exhibition. Every Line of the City's Busi • ness Was Represented in the Line. It Took a Whole Half Day for the Procession to Pass a Point. The Curling Bonspiel Attract ed All Who Love the ' Scotchmen's Sport. To-Night the Palace will Be Stormed Again— Sports of the Carnival. "Out of the way or be crushed!" yelled the mounted police yesterday afternoon, and backed by a pair of lusty lungs their voices circled high into the air, above the shrieks of the small boy, the roll ol drums and the loud clanging of numerous gongs. Push ing, jamming and squeezing, the im mense throngs slowly and laboriously melted from the streets to the sidewalks. It reminded one of a Belfast riot, to see the people glaring at one another and ripping out an occasional ear-splitting oath, as they pushed this way and that to get away from the hoofs of the po licemen's steeds. No one ever saw such a crowd on Third street, nor did one ever experience such "compression" as tiie multitudes ga**e way for the Industrial parade. St. Paul's Industrial parade formed a principal feature of -the Carnival. Every business, industry and trade ap peared in line and proved far more in teresting and instructive than any Mardi Gras or street festival on record. There were butchers, bakers, brewers^ foun dries, groceries, presses, boilers, school rooms, stationery stores, organs ami every branch of trade one could well im agine, and along the streets were manu factured various articles as proof and samples of TnE employe's skill. The people along the route were in tensely enthusiastic and received these exhibits with yells of delight and ap plause. Besides these, the officers and "fathers'* of a great municipality ap peared in force to show the character and appearance of those who govern the place where such establishments and manufacturing industries are lo cated. There were many amusing feat ures, and everything was gotten up in the best possible style. A grand show ing was made by the fire department and every branch of the city service. The old settlers.in one immense wagon, appeared as statues of the pros perity of a great city, and on every hand were received with great favor. The Knights of the <irip formed a pretty and pleasing line. Over fifty bright, handsome, in telligent men appeared in neat, dark dress and plug hats, and evidenced the strength and character of the houses they represent. They made one of the most pleasing parts of the parade. It was a great exhibit of wealth, prosper ity and progress, and every one who saw it pronounced it the grandest ex hibition they had ever seen. Brass bauds and drum corps were disturbing the quiet forenoon air as early as 11 o'clock, and on nearly all the down town streets there were signs that something was going to happen long before noon. In front of any number of places of business, wholesale, retail, manufacturing, and even offices, there were being RIGGED OP FLOATS, loads of merchandise and hat not, that when brought together and strung in line,made one of the longest processions that has ever been seen anywhere. It was a procession that the people liked to look at, too. It is hard to tell how many people saw the procession. Men, women and children stood in the melting snow and watched it for two or three hours. Expert medical testimony as to the number of colds and sore throats re sulting from cold feet would be inter esting, but the returns are not all in on that point. It was about the same for the entire length of the line of march. First come first served, was the rule for standing room, and those who got in the front rank early in the game, kept their places, while the shorter ones, who came ate, contented themselves with occa sional glimpses at the taller floats as they came along the line. The parade could not but have had a good effect on the thousands of strangers in the city, who were able to get a bird's-eye view of what St. Paul is, what is going on up here, and what are the sources of the city's greatness. Many of the old citi zens were surprised at what they saw. They did not know so many industries were represented. The suburban youngsters, North, South and West St. Paul, not to be out done by the parent city, showed the "old man" what they could do when stirred up, and made a record in the procession of which all must feel justly proud. If there were and who supposed that these little towns existed only in the fertile imaginations of real estate boom ers, these had their doubts dispelled by good and substantial evidences of their growth and prosperity. HOW THE L.IKE WENT. Features of the Great Panorama Illustrating the City's Business. At 12:30 things began to grow lively In the vicinity of the Seven corners, and the tedious business of formation was being pushed by the officers in charge. It is no easy matter to handle bo unwieldly an aggregation of horses, vehicles and men, and though it was the intention to start the line in motion at 1:30, it was fully 2:30 when the vast column took up the march, the platoon of police heading the great line. Up then rode Grand Marshal Bushnell upon a sorrel steed. He was gaily uni formed in a Carnival costume of blue and white. He and his staff presented a fine appearance as . they proudly rode before the Great Western band. The musicians were in blue uniforms com bining a Carnival effect with a military style. The officers of the Carnival asso ciation v rode in a big omnibus. Six mounted trumpeters followed, march ing front. Chief Black and his assistants and staff, and the members of the board of fire commissioners rode In carriages, being followed by the massive chemicals, en gines and trucks of the fire department. The fire laddies had done their best in rigging up their fire-extinguishing out fits, and the horses, arranged in pyra mids, tandems, four-abreasts, and four in-hands, and decorated with plumes and tassels of all colors, reflected great credit upon their masters. A particu larly interesting feature of this— the first division was a miniature hose cart drawn by four dogs, and manned by eight small boys, who were attired in the cute red and black uniform of the Red Fox club. Gen. Bishop, in the uniform of the old Minnesota Second warriors, and his aides, who were in red and blue uni forms respectively, brought up the sec ond division. The military band from Fort Snelling and nine carriages con taining Gov. McGill, ex-Govs. Marshall and Ramsey, Adjt. Gen. Seely, the gov ernor's staff, the judges of the supreme court, Judges Kelly and Brill, aud the "last survivors of the OLD SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION'" lead this division. Then came up the two floats of the Daily Globe news boys, all the "kids" tooting horns and trying to outdo everything else. The street and sewer departments fol lowed. "Labor Overcomes all Ob stacles" was the motto of the street force. Some of the night brigade wore yellow oilskins. A large force of workingmen, with picks and shovels at a carry, marched up iii eights. The sidewalk cleaners came next with the legends. "My Sidewalk is O. X. ; Clean my Neighbor's," and "Clean Your Side walks or We Will," borne high aloft. The "underground world" was repre sented by a white horse and cart and men with shovels. Then came street sweepers drawn by five teams and four by four horses abreast each. A big stone cart followed with a four abreast. A street scraper, decorated with Ameri can flags, was tugged along by a four in-hand, also a stone travoy, and eight tandems drew a snow plow each. Seventy snow carts in double file fol lowed. Oifrone was held a banner with the motto, "Give Us More Snow," and a wagon filled with snow was described by the legend, "Snow, Beautiful Snow," The gas force had two floats composed of globes and a banner worded, "Our Illumination the Best Yet." Fourteen men followed with lamplighters upon long decorated poles. This division afforded lots of fun for small boys all along the route of the parade. the THIRD DIVISION. The third division, consisting of the floats and turnouts of the wholesale trade, was commanded by Marshal E. F. Warner and headed by "the Metropoli tan band. Allen, Moon & Co. had several big loads of tea, coffee, tobacco tubs and grocer ies, drawn by four-in-hands, all the horses being covered by white sheets with red borders. A series of transparencies told the public the his tory of the big fire of Beaupre, Keogh A: Co., and how the firm had so quickly resumed business. Some bright sen tences punctuated this story, such as "Minnesota Air is Very Bracing, You Know." Creelman, Avery & Co., were represented by loads of coffee, tea and spices. On one of the loads a Japanese sat with a huge umbrella. The turnouts were variously decorated. Burbank's transparency was next in line. The Fleischman yeast turnout was very unique. J. 11. Roach had a load of con fectionery on dress parade. The float of M. F. Kennedy was a very well got up affair. It was composed of tobog gans, hunting outfits and deer-heads. Noyes Bros. ft Cutler had an entire lab oratory on runners, with long white beared chemists mixing drugs, and all the occupants in the uniform of the Med-a club. William Burkhard's turn out was also very fine, the float being made up of buffalo-heads and sportsman's goods, and two deers, with magnificent antlers, standing compla cently upon the float. Cuinmings ft Fillebrown had four wagon-loads fruit. The turn-out of Albrecht Bros, wastery elaborate. A Siberian courier, wrapped snugly in furs, and holding up a leopard skin, came first as the guide and fore runner. A four in hand was attached to a huge float of furs. A bright galaxy of ladies was seated around the rig, over their heads. A BIG ALLIGATOR being suspended. A deer stood among the ladies, and a golden eagle orna mented the canopy. Mounted postilions drove the horses. The Snow Flake baking powder float was a bakers outfit drawn by a tandem of six horses. Min iature flags adorned the turnout. The P. 11. Kelly Mercantile company had a magnificent illustration of business in the twelve horse team, four abreast, and the huge pyramid of chests of tea, decorated by stars and stripes. Samuel Bliss had four big loads, heaped up, of syrup, molasses and groceries. The Shinah-to club and drum corps fol lowed, paving the way for the huge transparency of Finch, Van Slyck <fc Co., which was filled with boxes of dry goods ready for shipping, and was illustrated with pictures of the original house in 1857. and the present firm's building. Deppe Bros., Wolterstorff, Moritz ft Co., and the Detroit Stove works, all had appropriate exhibits of stoves and hardware. The float of the Detroit Stove works represented Cleo patra's barge, with four Egyptians as the ancient : oarsmen. It had a canopy in colors of blue, yellow and gold, with a gold star on top, and the horses were covered with white sheets, and adorned with orange plumes. The Standard Oil company had two loads of "eocene" on exhibition, and the six city delivery oil tanks of the Globe Oil company were all -in line. The St. Paul Roller mills advertised its flour by a float of rollers and milling machinery and four loads of mill stuffs. Two equipages and two loads of flour represented the Lindeke mills, and a load of millstuffs decorated with sheaves of golden grain did the same thing for H. A. Schultz. Then the wholesale liquor floats came up. Six horses pulled the Anheuser-Busch -float and dry people SMACKED THEIR LIPS. The postillions were all in blue. George Benz turned out with a mag nificent showcase on runners, full of the substantial of life. Joseph Schlitz and Chris Stahlman had fine exhibits on parade also. The thing which attracted more than usual interest was the float of the Standard billiard hall. Schaefer and Carter were playing a game of bill iards with apparent ease. A magnifi cent exhibit on runners, made up mostly of tin of all colors, very pretty in effect, and carrying a load of employes, all of whom wore tin masks and tin tiles, truly comical, was the float of Adam Decker, while the - Sterling Stove company turned out with an ox team and an old rusty stove, the lat ter smoking, and emphasized by the motto "The Oldest Stove Foundry in America, 1788." To contrast nicely with with this another sleigh followed bear ing a range, splendid and magnificent. Frost & Co. followed with stoves; Wall blom & Thorsel with a load of furniture, and "Dwight's Soda" with a tandem and transparency. ....:; The fourth division, also made up of the wholesale trade, had its peculiar features, too, for immediately, behind Marshal R. C. Hunger's horse came the fine and very tastefully gotten-up turn out of Mast, Buford & Burwell. It was a massive float drawn by a four-in-hand of dapple grays, and on the float was a magnificent equipage, something like the one which took first prize last Thursday, viz: A dapple gray tour-in SAINT PAUL, MINN. THURSDAY Hi hand attached to a victoria sleigh on bobs, the horses decorated with white plumes, and . ca parisoned with silver-mounted English coach harness, and Russian chimes. White plumes set off the horses of the float also. E. M. Hallow ell had a simi lar float, with an equipage consisting of white horse and elegant Russian sleigh, the steed being decked with plumes of cardinal and turquoise blue. The float of the Northwest Wagon company con tained six minstrels '•THE JACKSON BAND," who sang sweet old time quartettes, sextettes, trios and choruses all the way. J. H. ■ Scliurmeier's float was a representation of the wheelwright's trade. J. H. Mahler's float, drawn by four horses abreast, bore a horse and cutter, well warmed with furs, and the entire outfit decorated with plumes of rainbow hues. Mast, Buford & Bur well had two more exhibits, one of an "old hickory" wagon, the other of agri cultural implements. Martin's livery rig was a bay and black pyramid of three, decorated with plumes of orange, red, blue and black, attached to a Portland cutter. For a unique design D. D. Merrill's "school on bobs" took the biscuit. It represented the old and new styles, and a mischievous '•kid" was up on the roof throwing snow down the chimney. Garrison & Co.'s turnout, driven by a polar bear, represented a Carnival bouncing scene, brown wrapping paper being used for the bouncing-blanket, and a dummy in St. George's costume being the victim. Whitney's big piano, drawn .by a tandem of three, attracted much attention. Holmes' and Dyer's plumbing exhibits followed, and then came the stationary engine (in motion) of Robinson & Cary, the en gines and pyramids of cocks and valves of Holland & Thompson, the tinware of the Barnum works, the iron fences and furnace castings of the St. Paul foun dry, the scales and windmills of Fair banks, Morse & Co., and the big wire cage of the wire works. Scribners gal vanized Gambrinus was a very novel as well as massive affair. Behind Gam brinus was a colored banjjoist regaling the crowds with "Dixie." Guthunz & Rochstroh's white infant casket, and Averill, Russell & Carpenter's loads of many tinted wrapping paper completed this division. FROM AVfcST ST. PAUL, The Industries of the Sixth Ward Showed Up Big. The fifth division was made up of West St. Paul exhibits. First came Paul Martin and his aides, then four mounted riders clad in the uniforms of the St. George Snowshoe club. Then came the old settlers' float drawn by six horses and loaded down with the old settlers of West St. Paul. The motto, "We came before the flood," hung along the side of the float. Capt. Starkey looked gorgeous in a linen ulster. The Crescent creamery came next with four decorated floats drawn by our horses each, and a dozen single teams, all loaded down with the products of that industry. An old-fashioned "up and-down" churn was one of the feat ures of this display. "Every man is the architect of his own fortune" was another laughable thing. Here was represented a man running a stream of water iuto a milk can— a solitary cow stood in the middle of the cart. The St. Paul Barrel company's float next came along. On it was a force of men making barrels and casks. The Spa bottling works and the Waterous engine works followed with specimens of their wares. Three floats of the American Manufacturing com pany, bearing derricks and derrick ma chinery, showed up the heavier manu factures. Horman & Co. had a very pretty float filled with elegant fur over coats, each topped out with a beautiful buttonhole bouquet. A Japanese woman, parasol, fan and all, topped out the fine grocery display of Bigue & Lovensou. A float finely upholstered and fitted out with an ele gant parlor suite, on which about a half dozen ladies and gentlemen were seated, represented the business of A. Yolk. A load of white ice, drawn by twelve horses in double teams, repre sented the St. Paul Ice company. A beautiful sailing yacht, with canvas spread, bore the name of J. Dingle, the boat builder. Loads of lumber, shingles, laths, etc., were the contributions of B. C. Matteson. The St. Croix Lumber company, a load of lumber containing 8,500 feet, drawn by four horses. A full dozen teams, with loads of coal, 6labs, and all kinds of fuel represented P. B. Doran's wood and coal yard. Ten beautiful horses with yellow plumes, mounted by as many postillions, drew a float of the Minnesota Ice company. A tandem team of Shetland ponies, drawing a miniature house and the sign of Paul Martin & Co., excited no little admira tion. The West St. Paul Zither club next drove along rendering some de lightful Germain airs. MEIUtIAM PARK was represented by two little girls on a toboggan drawn by a Shetland pony. Carriages containing the business men of North St. Paul now made their appearance, heralding the approach of that lively little city's representation. Some elegant furniture, in a float drawn by four horses, sailed under the name of the Luger Furniture company. Brooms and brushes arranged in the form of a pyramid repre sented the Minnesota "Broom company. A fine lot of harness was the contribu tion of Konantz Bros. The St. Paul Park Implement company had a string of carriages in line, while John Zelch, of Cottage Grove, contributed twenty Shetland ponies, mounted by boys and gaily caparisoned. Three floats containing the employes of the St. Paul Knitting works excited no little interest. The young ladies were all clad in jerseys, knit of various col ored yarns at the works. The J. L. Spencer Carriage company had a string of about twenty carriages, sleighs and buggies in line. The St. Paul & Duluth had a gigantic headlight mounted on a float, behind which was a miniature en gine and tender. AND STILL IT CAME. The Last Divisions of the Greatest Parade on Earth. The Seven Corners' band headed the seventh division. Griggs Bros., Meuk Bros., McNamee, Bruggeman, Twohy Bros, and Bohrer & Smith, all had appropriate turnouts of grain, pro duce and groceries. Lauer Bros, had a big marble slab at which stone cutters were hard at work and this float was followed by the journeymen stone cutters, marching. Floats with columns of granite marble, mantels, blocks of red sandstone, and granite and marble monuments and headstones were the features of the re spective enterprises of Ulmer & Smith, John Nevin, and the St. Paul Marble & Granite company. A tandem tugged the Haupt lumber float, and thus ended the" seventh" division. - The eighth division, comprising the retail trade exhibits, was headed by the Hastings band, in uniforms strawberry, blue and brick-red. J Finch, Van Slyck & Co. made a fine showing with the float of carpets, rugs, portieres and draperies from the Orient, the . horses neing blanketed with silky Turkish rugs, and the postilions being adorned with immense orange plumage. Allen & Co. had equally as fine a turnout of silks and costly duy goods. Charles Friend's harness float* was also a neatly gotten up affair. Smith & Farwell followed with carpets and furniture. George R. Holmes with a load of tea, after which came a small boy in v white, riding a toboggan. A massive watch on a sleigh advertised J.* E. Ingham, and Poirler's "broom factory" men making brooms with astonishing rapidity, came just ahead of Franz's butchers' wagon, in which sat four men, whose faces were cencealed behind bull-head masks, with vicious horns. Then came the Golden Rule camel, which took first prize at the mardi gras. The Arab sat nobly upon his unstable seat, and beneath the < BIG RED SUN-SHADE, and the men who constituted the camel's limbs bravely bore their load. "We'll settle the fisheries question" asserted Boak's turn out. A lamb, as lively and meek as a mature lamb could be, was the distinguishing thing of C. H. Atkins' rig, while a pair of Cashmere goats ornamented Frank Belk's exhibit. Slater & Riley gave a moving exhibi tion of shoeing a horse, and George C. Mitsch had an entire wagon factory on runners. The ninth division came next headed by the Columbia band and C. W. Hor nick aud aids on horseback. This di vision represented the real estate board, the railroads, doctors, printing, insur ance, newspapers and the architects. • The real estate float came first, sur mounted by a pyramid of barrels and a half -circle sign bearing the words: ■ "REAL, ESTATE RECORD." The transparencies on each side of the float gave some interesting statistics. This was followen by the real estate men— seventy-five in number— ing in open order and carrying brooms decorated with banners and mottoes of various kinds. A transparency borne on wheels gave out the startling infor mation, "No Flies on St. Paul." A Norman stallion came next, followed by the St. Paul Dispatch float bearing square transparencies with statistics, * The lady students of the Northwest ern Eclectic college appeared in a four-; horse 'bus, and were followed by : mounted men in the costumes of all na tions. Displays of sausage being ground out were made by Koehler & Heinrichs, A. Spangenberg, F. J. Rank, Weyl,* Brown & Co., Palmer & Pennington, John T. Peterson and Frank Bulk. F. W. Luley's elaborate float was trimmed with orange and red, and contained sev eral Mongolian passengers. Ehrman trout exhibited two immense Galloways. In the tenth division Slater & Riley dis played a large float containing workmen making horseshoes, and George Mitsch one with men making wheels. Michaud- Bros, exhibited a very handsome float' with a Turkish canopy. Groceries were r displayed by Wagner, A. P. Moss, J. R. Cooper and Twohy Bros. * Peterman's . Vienna bakery had a float containing a legnlar bakery. The white-aproned chaps flung right and left buns and rolls to the multitude. Philip Peleter. of Hamline, displayed a very pretty; representation of a park with graveled walks, fountain, etc. A BARBER SHOP. The Ryan hotel barber shop repre sentation came first in the eleventh di vision, followed by the Boeringer 8r05.,! with a display of huge spectacles and mathematical instruments. Taylor's photograph gallery was also repre sented, and the Cincinnati Shoe-com pany exhibited an ice palace in the shape ot an immense boot. The St.' Paul Boat & Oar works had two pretty floats on which were beauti ful boats, each boat containing prettily dressed children. The street-sprink ling carts brought up the rear of the procession, bearing these mottoes. ' "Is street sprinkling a local improve ment?" "We think it is." •-49,417 miles of sprinkling in 1857." . The twelfth division failed to mate rialize. ■•- .7 SOME OF THE FINEST. E. Allen & Co. Nothing in the entire parade attracted more attention than the beautiful float of E. Allen & Co., the dry goods deal ers, of East Ehird street. Their exhibit was condensed into one large, magnifi cent display of fine fabrics, arranged in the most tasteful manner imaginable. • Their float was twenty-five feet in ; length, covered by a canopy of rare beauty in lace. The goods shown were principally for evening wear, and were • accordingly interesting to the feminine portion of the fashionable spec tators, whose scrutinizing gaze seldom misses a point in a show of this kind. Hardly anything would be passed by. The minutest details were each and every one noted and commented upon. But the great feature of the display was the thirteen handsome satin and lace dresses for evening. These ex cited the greatest admiration, and it is only fair to say that no other one thing in the entire parade was more noticed. Though a comparatively new house in St. Paul,E. Allen & Co. have placed hem selves in the front rank of retail dry goods dealers. Their methods of doing business are appreciated by the better class of fashionable people, who WILE NOT SUFFER IMPOSITION in this line. A house that has the capi tal, experience and good taste that this firm can boast of need not want for pat ronage in St. Paul. It has been shown, time and again, that where these qualities are wanting the patrons have either not been numerous or were of an inferior class. In the parade yes terday were many displays that were more showy, extensive and varied, but none that were more comprehensive, elegant, more costly or more tasteful. The fabrics were of the finest, and *j those made up into costumes were cer-' tainly on a par with the imported, if '. not superior, in many respects. The* * firm showed conclusively.that they were- ! equal to any emergency in the fashion able trade. And in this respect St. Paul may be considered particularly fortunate in having such an establish ment. Being liberal advertisers, they- ; need no introduction, personally, to the? public, and it would be superfluous to say that their display yesterday was only a mere idea of the extent and gen eral nature of their business. Allen, Moon & Co. Messrs. Allen, Moon & Co., wholesale grocers, corner of Third and Sibley streets, had probably the most repre sentative display in the parade. The whole display was arranged under the direction of Mr. C. D. Boyd, who lead the outfit, seated in a cutter behind an 1 excellent-looking driver. Seated beside v Mr. Boyd was his English bull dog cov ered with a blanket bearing the words "Allen, Moon & Co.'s Star and Crescent Goods." Next followed four horses drawing an immense sled loaded with teas of direct importation. Then an other four-horse team followed with a ' full load of "direct import" coffees; then came another four-horse outfit drawing a heaping load of plug to baccos, after which came two two horse sleighs, the first of which was loaded with tubs, wash-boards, pails,, etc., and the other loaded with casks of \ prunes all ready for shipment. The dis play was brought up in the rear by two of the city pick-up wagons.* Every horse bore a blanket with the words," "Allen, Moon & Co., wholesale gro cers." The drivers and employes wore a uniform consisting of blue flan nel shirt, with collar and red and blue toque. On each shirt was the "star >RNING, FEBRUARY 2, 1888.— PAGES. and crescent," the trademark of Messrs. Allen, Moon & Co. Mr. Boyd spared no pains or expense in preparing this dis play. The cost of the display must nave been over $500, and the outfit on the street represented about $25,000 of the $300,000 stock carried by this firm. ■ I Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co. t" The display of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company of St. Louis, Mo., was very novel and illustrative of the extensive business done by this com pany. The display consisted of, first, a large float drawn by six horses. On the float were eight barrels of different brands of the beer manufactured by the company. On top of these barrels was {ilaced one of the company's eight de- Ivery .wagons, and on the end were a number of the company's tin signs, rep resenting four special brands of beer manufactured by this company, the "Pale Lager," "Budweiser," "Tony Faust" and "Erlinger." On each cor ner of the float was a banner, with the company's trade-mark and "St. Louis Standard Beer" in brilliant colors. There were also a number of the em ployes on the float, each carrying a long pole with a large beer glass stuck on the end. On top of the whole float a streamer floated", bearing the words, "America's Largest Favorite Brewery." The business of this company is rapidly increasing in St. Paul under the man agement of Mr. Hatteusauer, whose Eleasant ways seem to captivate every ody. - :-;'.;; The Mast, Buford & Burwell Co. The Mast, Buford & Burwell com pany excelled everything seen in St. Paul, or, perhaps, any other city, as an illustration of the rapid growth of the manufacturing interests of the country. Their display was both novel and hand some; At the head of their turnout was a sleigh 112 years old, drawn by a horse thirty years old, in a harness 100 years old. The harness was formerly the property of Alvin Gilpatrick, of Lim erick, Me., and was sent to Mr. Burwell especially for this occasion by Frank Libby, of Limerick. The sleigh was made in 1770 and was secured through James R. Hill & Co., of Concord, N. H. In this ancient outfit sat Mr, Allen and R. E. Libby, a cousin of Frank Libby, who represented people of the last century, who used as a lap robe a quilt, the property of Mrs. Aaron N. Bradbury, of Limerick, Me., which was woven by Mrs. Chase, mother of Mrs. Bradbury, in 1810. Following this ancient outfit was an exhibit of the present century— a handsome float, drawn by four horses, on which was one of the most handsome turnouts ever seen in St. Paul. The turnout was made up of one of the celebrated Vic toria shells on bobs, attached to which was a pair of - dapple grey horses har ; nessed with an English coach harness, : with russet collars and housings. This is the turnout which took first prize at the equipage display last week. Mr. Burwell and Mr. Warner were seated in the "Victoria shell," and, covered with elegant robes, they looked "just too nice for anything." Besidese these ancient and novel outfits the Mast, Bu ford & Burwell company showed two other floats on which were Buckeye seeders, King B harrows, Buckeye pumps, cider mills, scientific feed mills, Rock Island plows, Diamond pony mills and a number of others of the articles ' they handle and manufacture. The whole display was > decorated . with plumes, banners, streamers, etc., man ufactured by the company. Another feature of their display was a sample of their Waterloo side-spring, side-bar buggy and the Old Hickory wagon both of wnich are -handled by the Mast, Buford & Burwell company. Waterous Engine Works Co. ; The display of the Waterous Engine Works C0.,0f South St. Paul, is another illustration of the growth of new indus tries and manufactories in St. Paul. This company exhibited a steam fire en gine made especially for volunteer fire brigades, to be used in small towns and villages. The South St. Paul works are a branch of the Waterous Engine Works Co. of Brantford, Canada, probably the largest engine manufact urers in Canada. The branch in St. Paul was established about a year ago, and is managed by Messrs. Frank and Fred Waterous. They are making a specialty of the manufacture of steam fire engines and fire apparatus. This is the only manufactory of these articles in the Northwest. The well known en terprise and ability of the Waterous En gine Co. is a guaranty that every article they manufacture is of the best quality, and no doubt this branch of their busi ness will soon become one of the largest industries in St. Paul. Weyl, Brown & Dyer. Messrs. Weyl, Brown & Dyer, whole sale butchers, 280 East Third street, made a splendid showing of all kinds of meats. They had a large float on which were displayed four cattle,ten sheep and ten lambs, dressed by Swift & Co., of Kansas City, Mo., the best known dress ers in the United States also two cat tle, two hogs, five sheep and five lambs, dressed by themselves. The cattle aver aged 900 pounds dressed. The whole display was of a superior quality, and shows what kind of meat St. Paul epi cures eat. Either side of the immense float was decorated with dressed ox heads, the work on which was equal to any ever seen. The different quarters of beef and sides of mutton, lamb, etc.. were labeled with the names of retail butchers who had purchased some of the choice selection. Koehler & Hinrichs. "■■' Messrs. Koehler & Hinrichs, manu facturers of and dealers in butchers' and packers' supplies, casings, etc., of 53 West Third street, exhibited a kerosene 'Oil engine known as The Acme Auto matic Safety Kerosene-Burning Steam Engine, which is the most perfect thing of the kind in the market. The engine was in full blast, running a Smith's im roved chopper and mixer combined, These choppers save the labor of a man stirring the meat while chopping, and also the time and labor of mixing after chopping. Messrs. Koehler & Hinrichs are agents for both the Acme engine and the Smith chopper and mixer. They also handle all kinds of butchers' tools and machinery. They are an en terprising fipm, and will do well in this country. •I- — De Cou & Co. I The turnout of De Cou & Co., North Star Seed store— Paul Wire works was a most noticeable feature of the parade. One sleigh was made entirely of wire.. The display embraced every thing that can be manufactured of wire, including a great variety of flower stands, bird Cages and baskets. ?| " J. A. McAuley. g? J. A. McAuley, of 515 Robert street, was one of -the purchasers of some of the above, choice meats, and his many customers will all agree that Me always gets the best iv the market to supply his .tirade. ; ; v. ,, yy yy J. H. Mahler Company. The J. H. Mahler Company had an elegant and "attractive display. Oh one ■ large float drawn by 7 four horses was a Daisy buggy, about twenty of the em ployes and the "Daisy Buggy" quar tette. The float was elegantly trimmed with furs of . all kinds and decorated with flags and banners. Following the float came a Russian cutter, a Bayley speeding cutter, a Canadian cutter and other samples of the vehicles handled by this company. In the rear, drawn by- a splendid pair of drivers, were Messrs. Mahler and Schofield, who added tone to the already magnificent turnout. The singing of the Daisy Buggy quartette drew lots of applause from the crowds who lined the streets, and many strangers will go home with the sound of the Mahler Co.'s Daisy Buggy quartette ringing in their ears. Samuel Bliss. Samuel Bliss, of St. Paul, Chicago, Kansas City and Rockford, manufactur er and dealer in all kinds of syrups, maples, sugars and can goods, made a magnificent industrial display. They had four floats, each drawn by four horses.

The St. Paul branch of this business was established two and a half years ago at 403 and 405 Sibley street, and under the management of O. S. Musser.

The second float was much larger and contained a large display, illustrative of the extensive business done now. On the top of this float was also the firm name and the figures 1888. Both floats were handsomely decorated and carried flags of all nations. Messrs. Fairbanks, Morse & Co.'s premises are at 371 and 373 Sibley street.

The St. Paul Roofing & Cornice com pany, of which Messrs. Lefebvre & Deslauriers are proprietors, made a great display of the work that can be done with tin and galvanized iron. Their float was all made of galvanized iron, and represented King Gambrinus. The king was represented sitting on a barrel of beer holding in one hand a huge schooner of the sparkling bever age. The workmanship on this float was some of the finest in the land, all sorts of flowers, fruits, etc., being wrought in the zinc most naturally. At the back of the float was seated a negro minstrel, who sang sweet songs for the entertainment of" the crowd. The oflice of the St. Paul Hoofing & Cornice company is on the corner of Sixth and VVakouta streets. They are a reliable firm and do good work. St. Paul Roller Mill Company. .

They had three sleds, the first of which was loaded from the. ma chinery department with iron and por tions ot roller mills, a complete roller, pairs of chilled iron rollers for grinding wheat, and porcelain rollers for grind ing middlings. Also, a conveyer and elevator and silk bolting cloth, used in sifting flour. The second sleigh was devoted exclusively to the display of "Orange Blossom" flour, a tasty display made in handsome cotton sacks, the sleigh being surrounded with sighs di recting attention to use the celebrated "Orange Blossom" flour. The other sleigh was filled with paper sacks, of "Orange Blossom" graham. These sacks, being lithographed in several colors, produced a handsome effect and were a fit package to contain what the manufacturers claim to be the choicest graham flour in the country. The mill is on Third street west, near Bridge square. The St. Paul Roller Mill com pany was the first to adopt the roller process in this city. Boak & Co. Messrs. Boak & Ce., wholesale dealers in fish, game and poultry, of East Third street, made a good display. Although the display was. made up of fish, it was not fishy at all. They had two sleighs in the parade. The first was loaded with barrels of trout, whitefish, and all kinds of ocean and lake fish. The second was an artistically arranged display of herring. Messrs. Boak & Co. do an extensive business in this city, and have a branch house at 17 High street, Minneapolis. They handle all kinds of fish, game, poultry, etc., from the smallest little shrimp up to the big moose of the Northwest.

Rank, of the Cash Meat mar ket, 629 Mississippi street, gave an ex hibit of the excellent meats, poultry, game, etc., which he sells entirely on the cash system. On the top of his float in large letters were the words, "Cash Meat Market."

The second was sim ilar to the first, and carried a Polled Angus three-year-old steer weighing 2,200 pounds. The third was loaded with pails of lard, poultry, hams, etc., the ' whole outfit being decorated in splendid style. The sample of steers in this exhibit shows the quality of meat these gentlemen handle, and the display made will no doubt convince the jealous Easterners that we can raise good stock in the Northwest. J. J. Bicbtghauser. A man that can show more enterprise to the square inch than J. J. Biebig hauser, whose place is at East Seventh and Locust, 'has a large summer job on his hands. This gentleman— firm, rather— a float in the great parade that was at once unique, comprehensive and effective. It consisted of a large float, handsomely decorated with a big horseshoe, under which was a magnifi cent Sterling heating stove, with every modern improvement, and all but auto matic. Its silvery surfaces glistened In the bright afternoon sun, and attracted its goodly share of the general atten tion. Following it was an old style sled drawn by oxen, containing two or three very dilapidated, stoves bearing the words "Sterling Stove Co. in 1*788." The new "Sterling" on the float in front Continued on Sixth Page. NUPTIAL VOWS ON ICE A Marriage in the Icy Home of Borealis in the Car nival Park. George G. Brown and Miss Eva N. Evans Were the Con tracting Parties. Rev. S. G. Smith Performed the Ceremony That Made the Twain One Flesh. The Interesting Story of the Young Couple's Love— To Boom St. Paul. Under the glare of several hundred electric lights and amid the joyous ac claims of thousands of interested spec tators a young couple stood upon a car peted platform in the grand court of the ice palace last evening to plight their vows in holy wedlock. This feat- ure of the Carnival had been looked forward to with great eagerness by res idents of St. Paul and visitors alike, and although 8:30 was the time fixed for the ceremony, long before that time crowds began to flock into the great court of the domain of Borealis. Old ladies and young ladies jostled each other, intent solely upon obtaining good positions near the platform, while out side the palace wails a surging multi tude of the male persuasion elbowed, squeezed and jammed one another with the same object in view. "Instead of the conventional ushers in regulation black suits, white neckties, snowy expanse of pleated shirt front and kid gloves, half a dozen stalwart mounted policemen resplendent in blue uniforms, adorned with brass buttons and wearing helmets as headgear, at tended to the duty usually performed by society young men at church wed dings. There were no seats for spectators of the novel affair, but all who" wished it enjoyed the privilege of standing in the open air for an hour or so and being hurried hither and i thither by the minions of the law, who had been | charged to keep the courtyard clear for j those holding invitations to the wed ding. y : y-r Small boys 'ensconced themselves j wherever there was an available spot in ; the tower, hanging on with hands and fHE SLIDE THROUGH LIFE. feet to the delicate wooden shaft al- j though repeatedly ordered down by the I Eolice and anxious parents. But the oys wanted to see all that was going on and they were not afraid of a tumble and persisted in evading the wishes of the more cautious of the assemblage. They made things merry, too, during the long wait with their ceaseless chat ter and chaffing of nervous spectators, and "Eli" and "Kid" seemed to be fa vorite expressions of the daring young wedding guests. To enumerate all who were present would require a reprinting of the city directory, but there was an absence of the elaborate toilets usually visible at matrimonial events inside a sacred edi fice. yj.yjy HEAVY WOOLEN MITTENS and covering of the same material for the ears and faces of the assemblage were conspicuous, and gavly attired to bogganers and snowshoers added to the {icturesqucness of the brilliant scene. • It was remarkable, too, to note how many elderly ladies braved the danger ! of contracting pneumonia or a grave I yard cough in their desire to. witness ) the marriage, and they bore good hu- j moredly the discomforts of their situa- j tion, imbued only with a desire to say ; that they were present on the happy oc- j casion. Numerous cries of "There they come" j made the welkin ring ere a long I procession of Carnival clubs, acting as an escort for the happy pair, made its appearance, flanking carnages contain ing the minister who was to tie the nuptial knot and relatives of the con tracting parties. By dint of persuasion and sallies by the mounted ushers a passageway was cleared to admit the bridal procession, and a brass band added to the novelty of the wedding ceremony, all the mu sicians being out of breath when they halted in front of the carpeted dias. Rev. Samuel G. Smith had preceded the young couple, and removing his hat donned a small black silk traveling cap, wrapped his heavy fur coat closer about him, and prepared for the ordeal. Attended by best man and bridesmaid, George G. Brow and Miss Eva N. People constantly ask how they can invest small sums of money to advantage. Try the "WANT" columns of THE GLOBE. Read them to-day. NO. 33. Evans passed slowly through the double lines of friends in the Carnival clubs, and, notwithstanding the fact that they were the cynosure of so many curious eyes, walked unhesitatingly to the plat* form, where the minister cordially greeted them. It was not long after their arrival before the words were uttered which pledged them to stand by each other until death parted, for better or for worse, the responses being made by the bride and groom so as to be audi ble to all within the court yard's pre cincts. As the minister concluded the beauti ful and impressive ceremony the crowd broke out into a joyous cheer, and no wedding march was ever more beauti fully chanted than the one which ac companied Mr. and Mrs. Brown to their carriage, inside the Ice Palace of St. Paul. A BIT OP HISTOnr. In a pleasant house on East Sixth street, resides the young woman who last night put her marriage vows on ice. Talk about woman's inborn lack of in vention ! Whatman would ever have devised such a scheme of protection against divorce courts. It was not solely with this object In view, however, that the marriage of Miss Eva N. Ev ans and George F. Brown was given over to the management of the < nival association. It was done fully as much, If not more, to boom the town, and if St. Paul real estate dealers do not make Mrs. Brown their patron saint, it will be because they are utterly incapable of gratitude. Eva and George fell in love with each other at first sight— George's mother-in-law said it herself. They have been Cengaged for a year now, but they were not intending to be married until next March. Mrs. Evans and Eva got to talking the matter over one evening, and Mrs. Evans said the wedding should fake place in church. But Eva declared she wasn't going to march up a church aisle with everybody' staring at her— what really modest girt would, pray, when the sweet sacredness of the Ice Palace is available ! She said she would drive to the minister's and be married at his house. Mrs. Evans thought she would like to see a daugh ter of hers do it. The bare idea! "Just like any country Jake," said she; "you'd better get married in the Ice Palace." "1 only meant it for a joke," explained Mrs. Evans; "but the notion struck Eva and she and George, without a word to anybody, sent a letter to the Carnival association, to see if it could be done, i I did not know anything about it till the answer came. Of course I was surprised, but I'd often said to Will— my husband— l did wish we could do something to help the Carnival along. It seemed as if we ought to, and that's what George and Eva thought, too. If they could boom the town in any way, they felt it was their duty to do it." Thus is the sacred ness of THE MARRIAGE CBMMV sacrificed on the altar of St. Paul enter prise ! The Evans family belong to the First Baptist church, and Mrs. Evans feared Dr. Mabie, the pastor, would feel hurt, not having been asked to offer the sacri fice. "I wanted him," said she, "but Eva didn't. Dr. Mabie is opposed to Carnivals and all that, you know: and S. G. Smith isn't. Eva said. Smith is the people's man. my wedding is going to be the people's wedding, so Smith is the man for me.' " ■ . It will come hard on George in later days, if Eva reminds him that she mar ried him for the sake of humanity, rather than his own dear sake. President Cleveland did not respond to his invitation, which was the first one sent out; but Mrs. Evans and Eva are determined not to get mad at rover if he didn't. "Of course, he might have been out of town when it was received and never so much as have a chance to see it. You can't tell, you know. They are so careless about such thing- at the White house." If Tli over could know how beautiful the bride was, he would be sorry he failed to put in an appearance. Owing to the crowd that attended the ceremony many were prevented from seeing her clearly. The picture in the Globe is excellent, and the position she and George occupy, according to the batter's mother-in-law, is typical of :-" -J* -". ■ 'lie path on which they have started. Just where the downward course of matrimony, traveled on a toboggan, leads. it takes some other ♦experienced person to Imagine. THE BKIDE'S DRESS. Eva was elegantly attired in white moire and satin, trimmed with lace. The dress was covered by a long coat of corduroy, bordered with swan's down. A white velvet bonnet, trimmed with ostrich tips, completed a bridal costume as unique as the affair it graced. Eva's maid of honor, her sister Ida, a pretty miss of sixteen, wore a suit, the waist of which was of white moire, skirt of corduroy, and a jacket of eider down, edged with swan's down, her piquant face set off by a jaunty Tarn O'Shanter cap, trimmed with Nile green ribbon loops. Mrs. Brown's wedding out fit is entirely the work of her own head and hands. A woman with the ingenu ity she gives evidence of Is a treasure any man might thank his stars to pos sess. She affords him grounds for the belief that the day will come when ho can retire from active business and live by the sweat of his wife's brow. The pair have gone home taiday with Eva's pa, until the house Mr. Brown Is build ing Is completed. Eve, our common ma, Nina Van Zandt and Eva Evans will go down to posterity, original brides, each after her fashion. Eve, first in the Gar den of Eden; Nina, first in the hearts of the anarchists: Eva, first in the lee palace and the hearts of St. Paul boom*' ers. TO MR. BROWN. [For the Globe.] O. Mr. Brown, Is it quite fair, While other groom are flushed aud bar ried. That you should break the rule and be So very cool when are married? I could not see your trembling bride, And so outside I patient waited, But when she blushed the palace was With rosy hue illuminated. Now let the ley palace melt, And turn the sintering lights down; Let suns arise, and all the earth. Like this fair bride, be turned to Brown. "J. <*. J.'*
