We are much grathed with the recent display
Of wares at Minneapolis, and general feeling Of
satisfaction is prevalent, that our young Terri.
tory, so unorg inized and so ensrossed in money.
m king, should take such pride in nn exhibition
worthy of her Ir ,life soil and her CROWN. great
ncss. There WAS not, of course, so complicated
n variety rs ut some of the down east fairs but
a feeling Of generou. rivalry was as apparent,
and the assor.m .ment selected with as much taste,
we ever at similar exhibition in the old
settlel States.
L. our h,sty review, and in such magnificent
display, we may neglect 10 notice some articles
which seem worthy of it, bat among those which
especially attracted our attention, we may men
tion tile following:

but the animals were Of the 'st approved breeds
Among the ho:ses, we noticed a 6ne stallion
QIOrgan), owned by j. S. WAY, of Kice County,

commended. The stallion IS Flying Morgan " and
his colt fifteen months old, pair of excellent
drau.ht horses and splendid mare from Keu-
tuckv, exhibited by Aessrs. uoPKINs of this city,
attracted the attention and the adm. ration
of Nil. This lot was unsurpassed on the grounds.
