MINNEAPOLIS FAIR.

An Exposition that WilL OMtsl.ine 4ny-
thing Heretofore attempted in the North
acest--The Implications for Space Com
hnMe to Come Ln--The Cry is, Vhen VIII
1t Cedse?'
That the Minneapolis fair, which COM
mences on Sept I'd, will be the most extern
sive and finest exhibition of the kind ever
witnessed in the Northwest there is not the
remotest shadow of doubt.
Col. King is bound to make it out-shine
ANYTHING in that line ever attempted in the
State, and the present indications are that
his fondest hopes will be realized. The en-
tries continue to come in lively and the
managers are puzzling their brains to know
how to dispose of them. Large numbers of
! letters are received by every mail,
and it keeps them busy answering
the thousand and one questions of those who
! desirs to exhibit and those who are intend
ing to visit the fair. Through all the tur-
MOL Col. King is rushing about doing the
work of half dozen ordinary men, and
makes no fuss about it either. It is enough
is make the back of lazy man ache to watch
him. He is here, there and everywhere.
First he may be found half buried with
letters which he answers with remarkable
rapidity, or, perhaps, is assigning some ex-
hibitor the space desired, or, moment
later, behind his horse driving to the fair
grounds as though his life depended on
reaching his destination in the shortest pos
sible time. Then he is into one building
another, or somewhere else, giving
orders and making suggestions, until it
would seem as though he must drop from
shere exhaustion, and still he is as calm and
collected through itall as though such gil
gantic undertakings were every day occur
rences, and scarcely worth thinking of. How
he can stand SO much is an enignima diff
cult of solution, yet he does and will
be rewarded for it by witnessing
and reaping the benefit of the
finest agricultural and mechanical fair the
State has ever witnessed.
The colonel is in hopes of having every
thing completed SO as to clean up the
grounds and place everything in ship-shape
by Friday next.
NEW ENTRIES-CATTLE, ETC.
Among the latest entries are the following:
Some st. Paul parties yesterday made
application for nineteen stalls for choice
cattle.
A gentleman from st. Cloud has written
for accommodations for eight Jerseys and
eight short horn cattle of superior quality
DAN MACE COMING.
Mr.. Dan Mace, of Hartford, Connecticut,
the celebrated driver and trainer, is expected
in Minneapolis to-day with three car loads
of fine horses for the fair.
A gentleman from Canada Falls will be
here with an addition of five stalls of fine
stock.
MOLLY MCCARTHY.
On Monday it is expected Budd Doble will
arrive in Minneapolis with Molly Mccarthy,
the famous California mare. Some of the
stock will arrive during the early part of the
week, but owing to the fact that the
Milwaukee, meeting is not concluded until
late in the week the greater of the fast
horses will not arrive until about Saturday
next.
Things are booming, and will continue so
to do until the last moment, and when the
doors are thrown open to the public all
visitors will witness the scenes before them
in open mouth amazement and wonder how
it was all accomplished.
