pie were continually going from one machine
to another and wondering at the rapidity and
ease with which all worked. They were all
run by steam and made q great rafting and
gathering. They consisted of all sort Of reap
ers, mowers, binders and such like imple-
ments. Between these machines and the
threshers there was good deal of music.
The races and ball games were greatly in
terfered with by the Indictment weather, so
that the programme for Thursday was post
poned to Friday and the Fair continued
through Saturday. On that day the sun sue
ceeded in clearing away the clouds, and the
business men Of St. Paul closed their doors
to give all employees a chance to visit the
grounds, in consequence Of which the gate
receipts were greatly increased.
In the fine art department there was much
OF interest on the last day, and the displays
Of fruits attracted much attention, showing
general recovery from the destructive effects
of the winter of 1874.
The address of Hon. l. Donnelly was full of
good advice and valuable information, though
delivered to limited audience.
FAILING EYB-sIGHr RESTORED.
B. Rosenband, the well-known Optician,
on the southwest corner OF Jackson and
Fourth streets, St. Paul, made most credit
able display otspectacles. He exhibited the
celebrated pebble and crystal glasses, and
many visitors, who have failing eyesight,
were astonished to learn what great i'm
provement the use of these glasses made in
their vision.
BUSINESS EDUCATION
One of the entertaining features was the art
and other display of the St. Paul Business
College. The ''Centennial" piece of penman-
ship by two of the College faculty was truly
wonder, as were numerous other handsome
pen pictures and specimens Not the least
interesting portions of the display, was the
specimens OF penmanship by students when
they entered the College, and the work of
the same hands after brief period of instruc-
ton. This College has been established eleven
years and from small beginning has grown
to be one Of the large and important institu-
tions OF the Northwest. One ofthe most strik-
ing features of the 1876 catalogue, is a list of
five pages Of names of former students now
holding responsible positions, chiefly in banks
and wholesale houses, all Of which they were
| enabled to obtain by reason OF having secur-
! ed business education at the St. Paul Bust
ness College. These former students unite
ina testimonial, commencing the institution,
| and the single voluntary testimonials are le-
gion. No one young man should regard his
education complete without taking Bust
| ness College course. Prot. w. A. Faddis, the
| able principal, has secured the first premium
at State Fairs tor five successive years, and
has nine diplomas for plain and ornamental
penmanship, text books, and business blanks,
the work Of students. Any person desiring
to obtain business education should send
for catalogue of this valuable institution and
learn the details ofits workings.
| HARVESTERs WITH CANNON DEER1NG's SELF
BINDERS.
| In the machinery department there was
much displayed to interest the farmers.
During the entire progress Of the Fair large
crowd surrounded the machinery on exhibi-
ton and being operated by Griff Jones of
Minneapolis. Their machinery consisted OF
the "Marsh Harvester,' with Self Binder at
tachment, also the "Warrior Mower" Every
one knows that these harvesters have proved
complete and magnificent success after
years of trial and sharp competition, but the
Selt-Binder is recent attachment and it at
tracted an immense amount of attention at
the Fair. The great desideratum Of the har-
vest field has been found in this Binder.
Farmers who have used them certify that
they can cut and bind fifteen md sixteen
acres per day with the greatest ease. The
binding is far more secure than hand binding
and superior IN every respect to any binding

without getting out of order. The twistel
hook renders the bundles firm and secure
and the cost for wire is only the trifiing sum
OF from 90 to 80 cents per acre. The expires.
sions OF delight with its operationswere uni
versal among the crowds which with essed its
workings and numerous farmers declared
that they would never make another harvest
without Cannon II behring's Self-binding
attachment. It fairly captured the spectators
by storm. Grif Jones also exhibited the fam
GUS Cannon & Deering Warrior Mower, and
this machine like the others worked admira-
bly,. The whole display was Of immense
value to the farming communities OF this Sec
| ton of the world as it gave ocular demonstra-
tisn OF the great perfection to which farm ma
chinery has been brought, and enabled farm
ers to see for themselves where to secure the
