GLANCE IA THE DEPARTMENTS.
We cannot enter into any extended des-
cription of the articles exhibited. They ap-
pear in the list of entries which we give
We will however, take cursory glance at
the several Departments.
Grain and Garden Tegetables-Minnesota
has here shown how her rich bosom can pro-
duce vegetables and roots of fabulous and
monstrous size. The principal attractions
seemed to be in the halls, where this depart
ment was assigned. Potatoes were here to
be seen of two pounds weight, sufficient, each
of them, to make meal for one man. Beets
twenty and "a inches long, ami weighing a
dozen pounds; pumpkins, the size of wash
tub, and cabbage heads fully as large, onions,
tomatoes, elephants, grapes, and every con-
ceivable vegetable were here spread out and
heaped up in tempting prcfusion and album
dance, as if Ceres had emptied her Cornuco-
pia carelessly in the Capitol building. The
display must have made every Mnnesotian
feel proud, and caused every stranger to Won
der at the fertility of the soil, and fitness of
the climate that could produce such vegetable
colossals.
The principal part of the lots were from
St. Paul and vicinity, Dakota Co., and Min
neapolis and vicinity. The names we noticed
mostly were j. W.. Selby, w. E. Brinhall,
Chas. d. Field, H. r. Gibbs, &C., &c.
Cattle and Horses.-Ample arrangements
but very few animals were sent in yester-
day. A number of entries for the Depart
mcnt were made, but we learn the stock
corresponding, will not be driven in until
morning. We will speak more fully of this
department when it is more fully represen-
ted.
Sheep, Seine and Pouury.-There were nu-
merous entries in this department, and some
of the animals were in the pens yesterday
We noticed among the swine, an immense
Yorkshire Boar, the only specimen of the
kind on the ground, from the farm of Chas.
D. Field Esq, Of Lake Como, and speci-
men Of fat hog by the same person.
Some beautiful poultry was also exhibited
by him. Mrs. j. p. Owens also had two
coops of fine, fancy poultry, and we noticed
cage ofyoung. swans, caught on Cedar Lake,
marked "Price $50" Some small pigs, &C.,
completed this department; no sheep had as
yet been driven in, though entered.
Farming Implements and Machinery-Con-
trary to what we had hoped, this department
was meagerly represented. Having witness
ed some splendid displays in this line at State
Fairs in other States; it seemed yesterday as
if the farmers of Minnesota felt no interest in
these matters. There were but two or three
on the ground, tanning mill by firm in
Minneapolis, neatly made, one or two straw
and feed cutters, and some elegant plows frem
McCloud & Bro, cob mill by R. McLagan,
&C., constituted about the whole of this de-
partment. We notice an ingenious wind
mill, said by the exhibitor to be we'll adapted
to the high windy prairies of Minnesota, and
proving steady motive power. ...
Nanufactmes.-This department was con-
fined chiefly to st. Paul exhibitors, bnt the
competition was lively, and yet We were i'm
pressed with the fact that it was not general
among our artizans and machinists. 1t
might have been made much more extensive
and imposing in the array of articles sent in.
We do not make these remarks in a censori-
ons and fault-finding spirit, but as an incen-
tive to talent and ingenuity to exert ITSELF
Many departments of manufacture were not
represented at all, and others but lightly
We had supposed a Territorial Fair in our
