and fair dealing in heaven. II was an hungered
and ye gave me meat; thirsty and ye gave me
drink''-not that our religious friends intend
to give these things away; no. but they will sell
honest goods for small consideration, and
drop the small consideration into the treasury
of the Lord. Leaving the pious dinning halls
to the left, the visitor is next attracted to
AGRICULTURAL HALL,
building, s75 feet long by 80 feet in width
the largest building under one roof ever con-
structed in Minnesota. In the centre of this
magnifcently trimmed and ornamented struc-
ture is q fountain sixteen feet high, made by
Menzel Co., of Minneapolis, which throws
water to the ceiling. From end of the
building to the other it is
trimmed like castle of enchantment, and turn
which way you will, one is constantly expect
ing that Puck or Ariel will be making faces at
you from among the evergreens and flowers
The different features of this magnificent de-
partment will be written up the exposition
progresses. Passing out at the south door of
Agricultural hall, the visitors eye rests upon
the
LUMBERMANs BUILDING,
within which is displayed full and complete
line of the products of this gigantic Minneapo-
lis industry. The details of this department will
also be given as the show progresses. Ad Join
ing The lumbermen's display, Chief Engineer

erected an
ENGINE HOUSE,
in which will this morning be located the
beautiful Amosky steamer City of
Minneapolis - the most perfect fire
engine ever brought to Minnesota
and two hose carts carrying fifteen hundred
feet of hose. At convenient places throughout
the grounds have been placed sixteen 25- barrel
tanks, while
TRAINED FORCE OF FIREMEN
with two trained horses will be on duty night
and day during the entire fair. When we take
the water-works into consideration 1t can very
readily be seen that the protection from fire
will be complete.
Opposite the engine house is the
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
and his numerous assistants, and still south in
the same row are the
PETS AMONG THE QUADRUPEDs,
Rarus and Hopeful and Gov. Sprague and
Molle Mccarthy, and dozens of other speeders
whose value would make kings ransom, or
even fill the depleted treasury of the sultan of
Turkey.
Then commences Zine upon linen of stables:
''precept upon precept" of cattle, ''here little
and there much of sheep. and hogs, and
poultry. There are
SEVEN HUNDRED STALLS
for horses, and nearly 6O0 for cattle; while the
sheep and hog pens are countless-that is, it is
not at all important that they should be count
ed There probably enough, but not more,
and they were filing up yesterday at aston
ishing rate.
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.
The stand for agricultural machinery is about
400 feet long, and every foot of space has been
filled and utilized. Fifty exhibitors have
already been assigned space, and still applca-
tions were pouring in yesterday There is 200
feet of shafting in the building, which
will be run by two portable engines, and
the busy hum of machinery will not be stilled
from this morning until Saturday night-un-
less boiler bursts
