away. 1t was more than their fancy had
painted it, The pumpkins were larger, the
fruit display opened their eyes to the solid
facts, and the long line of farm and garden pro-
ducts told the story of the
MARVELLOUS CAPABILITIES

ricultural fair. There were none of the mer-
camille industries of the city represented. The

A MER1ToRIoUs DISPLAY.
In the art department there were placed on
exhibition yesterday, two beautiful oil paint
ings, the work of Miss Flora Putnam, Mime
iska, Wabasha county. One is a landscape rep
resentlng scenery in the Yosemite valley,
California and the other portrait of DR..
Putnam, brother of the judge now diseased.
| They are both pictures Of real merit aud reflect
more than ordinary artistic skill. The land
scape is especially fine, the falling water and
the cloud scene in the background, the bold,
ragged cliffs and the delicate evergreens that
cling like tendrils to their forbidding
sides, and crown their grand
EXAMINATIONS, are true to nature, and
represent in one perfect picture the sublime
and the beautiful. The portrait is life-like,
clothed in the uniform of an army officer, with
saber resting carelessly across the arms and ex-
spectators. The shading and the blending are
delicate, and there is pleasing harmony and
happy contour that catches the
eye and rivets the attention. In addi.
ton Miss Putnam exhibits collection
of ffty-two cotton crohchet tides, ingeniously
wrought and beautiful samples of hand made
thread lace, all the work of her own hands.
| Josephine Gillberg of Stockholm exhibits an
unique paper air castle that attracted much
attention and was greatly admired. It is Ger
tainly an ingenious piece of feminine skill.
