The Agricultural Fair.

Efforts 70 Awaken an Interes. In Agricultural
Affairs in Minnesota.
We believe it is now some three years
since the few enterprising farmers then resi-
dents of Benton County, organized County
Agricultural Society. They were followed
soon after by the farmers of Hennepin and
both Societies have been well kept up, and
great interest manifested in their manage
ment and success ever since. Ramsey Co.
organized an Agricultural Society about the
same time; but as only fancy farmers ap-
peared to be prepared to assume its manage
ment, it was not kept up.
Out Of the movements of the practical
farmers of Benton and Hennepin, grew the
Territorial Agricultural Society, which was
organized at the Capitol, st. Paul, in the
month of January, 1854. His Excellency,
Gov. German, was made President for the
first year, and during that time manifested
great earnestness and zeal to forward the
ends of the infant organization. At the
second meeting of the Society, last January,
Col. John H. Stevens, of Hennepin, was
elected President gentleman whose zeal
and energy in the cause of agriculture has
not, from the start, been exceeded by any
other person in Minnesota.
At this second annual meeting of the So
ciety, last winter, it was resolved to hold a
Territorial Fair during the month of Septem-
Der of this year at St. Paul, and the Execu-
tive Committee was instructed to raise the
necessary funds, and see that the resolution
was carried into effect But the Committee
failed in the first essential work and the
idea of Territorial Fair this year was for a
while abandoned. The determined energy
and enterprise of the indefatigable President,
and the same spirit manifested on the part of
the officers of the Hennepin Society, how
ever, brought the Fair into existence but at
too short notice, and too late day in the
season to render it all that it should have
been. The Constitution was inaugurated
at Minneapolis on Wednesday of this week,
and the exhibition continued over through
the next day. Only three counties were
represented, so far as we could discover
Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington. They
contributed in the order of proportion in
which they are Washington only
contributing some fine blooded stock and
fowls.

The Address.

The weather on Thursday was 6ne-de-
liciously bautiful we may say. Minnesota was
glowing with the grandeur Of her Indian
Sumper-an Indian Summer which is not
equalled by any other portion Of this North
American continent By twelve o'clock, the
largest assemblage of white people that has
ever met together at one time in Minnesota
stood upon the Fair Grounds. A very large
proportion were ladies, whose handsome ia
ces were beaming with the excitement and
enthusiasm which the scene and the occasion
were calculated to inspire. At this hour, Hon.
MARTIN MCLEOD was introduced to the au-
dience by the President, and proceeded to
deliver a short but well conceived ss...irss
upon the subject : .. &c: had called the con-
course of people together. We have not space
to speak at length of the effort on this occa-
sion. 1t will be published, however, in few
days; and we can guarantee will we'll bear
reading.

heads of cabbage weighing from twenty-five
to thirty pounds also several beets of enor-
NOUS SIZE He also exhibited the.egg plant,
of large size and fully ripe, and new variety
of potatoes, the half-moon, said to be far
superior to any other. Mr.. Moot had the
largest squashes on the ground. Mr.. Gibson,
of Hennepin, had barrel of Jenny Lind
potatoes, which were not assorted, but would
average one pound each. He raised 80 bush
els on nine square rods Of ground. Mr.
Nottingham, of Hennepin, informed us that
he had raised los bushels of potatoes from
one barrel of seed, planted upon piece OF
ground IS feet spare. Mr.. Stoddard had re-
markably fine pink-eye potatoes, which yiel-
ded 400 bushels per acre. Col. Stevens ex-
hibited several stately stalks of celery, the
product of his own garden.
Among tie vegetable monsters were a
potato, raised by Mr.. Worthingham, which
weighed two and threc-quarter pounds; a
radish, by Mr.. Finch, of Hennepin, weighing
fifteen and three-quarter pounds several
turnips larger than peck measure, by Mr..
Dow, and some huge beets and new varieties
of turnip from the garden of DR.. Ames and
others of Minneapolis.
PRoDUcIs OF THE DAIRY.-A few we'll
appearing baskets Of butter, and some rich
looking cheeses were on exhibition; but as
the good ladies who had charge of these de-
licacies would not allow any one except
members of the " committee " to come within
even moderate distance of their stands, we
must wait until the committee" reports
before we can pass judgment finally.
HOUSE PLANTS AND FLowERs.-Several
lots were on exhibition, the most rare ant
conspicuous and greatest variety being from.
the Groyeland Garden of Messrs. Ford and
Hugenin. These gentlemen also had on THEN
table great variety of garden seeds of tEeil
own growth, done up in elegant fancy pack
ages.
FINE ARTs.-J. E. Whitney's daguerreo-
types were, of course, the best executed OF
exhibition. A landscape by Mrs. L. NJ. Fort,
is worthy of mention, and also pencil draw
ing by Mrs. E. L. Whitney. Some specimen
of ornamental painting by Mr.. 3. E. Messei
were not discreditable to the artistic skill o.
that gentleman, although he differs with Us
in this opinion.
HOME MANUFACTUREs.-In the ladies' de-
partment Of home manufactures were speci-
mems Of carpets that might well grace tn.
parlor of any family in city or country. Al
elegant four-seated carriage from the manu-
factory of Mr.. Bradley was never excelled at
Concord, Troy or elsewhere East, and should
receive premium.
NEEDLEwoRK.-Thel ladies of Minneapolis
and vicinity had been busy, and exhibited 8
great number of fancy quilts and other fine
needlcwork. Where all was so beautiful,
executed, we cannot particularize; and vii.
not mention names for fear of doing injustic.
and getting into ''scrape" with some of the
fair contributors. Here again We await the
action of the proper committee.

The Lady EquestrianS.

The Lady EQuestrtanS.
The Address being concluded, the crowd
was marshaled on the open prairie to the
left of the Fair Grounds, to witness the feats
of equestrianship. In few moments foui
ladies made their appearance, elegantly cos
tuned, and mounted upon spirited steeds.
They all rode with grace and ease; and WE
are inclined to think that the committee was
somewhat puzzled in deciding upon the res
pective merits of the competitors. We have
been informed, however, that Mrs. Allen, Of
St. Anthony, was awarded the first prize, and
Mrs. j. G. Lennon the second. The witness
ing Of these exercises was the most spirited
and pleasing incident of the Fair. We notice
that some old curmudgeon of an editor in
one of the States condemns the introduction
of this act into the drama of Agricultural
Fairs. 1t would not have been healthy for
him to have been present at Minneapolis on
Thursday, and there preached his heretical
dogma to the $500 intelligent, well-dressed
and Gin most respects) refined ladies and
SeuGlcIeu WIN WlLuSSccO tllcSC uCdItulut anu
noble exercises with such high degree of
delight and enthusiasm.
After the ladies had retired from the arena,
several fast trotting horses in harness were
made to show themselves for the edifcation
OF the mass, and the proper committee; and
then all hands having the cares of days
business upon their shoulders, proceeded to
the work of closing up their several duties.
The Committees, we believe, did not all
get ready to report before the separation of
the crowd. They will, however, perform
their duties at as early day as practicable.
By four o'clock the people had mostly de-
parted to their homes, and the several exhib-
itors were engaged in packing their articles
for removal. Col. Robertson. procured a
large package Of the largest vegetables, which
he will send by Express to our Emigrant
Agent, Mr.. Bernand, at New York. The
receipts at the gate we are informed will
more than pay the expenses of the Fair.
