st. Paul, August 26, 1878.
The firing of the national salute has been
placed in the hands of Col. Pfaender, and
the Krieger Verein, an association of Prus-
sian veterans, has volunteered to do artillery
duty under his command. Some provisions
ought to be made for furnishing horses
wherewith to haul the guns. The verein
has already prepared for that expense, but
it hardly seems fair thar the veterans should
furnish the money from their pockets, as
well as to spare the time to man the guns.
The committee adjourned until Thursday
next at 8 A. NJ, at the chamber of commerce.

MANUFACTURING SUGAR.
The announcement of the erection of ma
chinery on the fair grounds for the manu-
facture of sugar from Amber cane grown in
the State, is attracting much attention
throughout the country, and already the ex-
pertinent has been more thoroughly intro
duced to public attention than it could
otherwise have been done in years. Of
many mentions of this exhibit noticed in
Eastern papers, we take the following from
the Washington Star:
Sat the Minnesota State fair, which will
be held at st. Paul early in September, ma
chinery will be erected for the purpose of
manufacturing and granulating sugar OBJ
tanned from the stalks of a certain variety of
Indian corn grown in that State. It is said
that successful experiments of this kind
have already been made in two counties of
Minnesota, and that the manufactur-
ing operations at the State fair will
be more in the nature of demonstration
than trial. The sugar thus obtained IS said
to compare favorably in quality with that
sent from Cuba. But the important point
to be ascertained is whether the maize sugar
can be manufactured in large quantities at a
sufficiently low price to compete with that
from the sugar-cane. Sugar can be obtained
from great variety of plants, both vegetable
and fruit, if any one is willing to pay the
cost of manufacture. Indian corn was used
as source of sugar before the Spanish in
vasion of England, and factory near
Toulouse in the south of Faance, is men
toned where about 10000 pounds are an
nually obtained from this plant
SAMPLE ENTRIES.
Secretary Judson and his corps of assist
ants had a very busy time yesterday in re.
ceiying and booking entries, etc. Among
the entries were the following: A. P. Eos

Mr. Peter Dairy, of Montery, Wis, comes tc
the front with his herd of Scotch Galoways
the only herd Of these choice animals
worthy the name of herd in the West. They
were exhibited at the last State fair
and attracted great attention. Mr.
| Baker, of the same place, also secured ter
stalls for short horn herd. The Downey
Bros, of Owatonna, secured accommod ations
for their 3-year Clyde stallion, without doubt
the finest animal of the kind in the North.
| west. Of the st. Paul entries, the most i'm.
portant was that of the st. Paul Pillow works
which will make large exhibit of their cele
DRAFTED plows of different patterns. There
were large number of other entries, but
these will do for one day, and give a fain1
| reflex of the attractions to be seen at The
great fair.
| RUNNERS AND TRoTTERs.
| The principal arrival in the horse line al
the fair grounds yesterday, was the running
and trotting stable of that public spirited
citizen and enterprising breeder, Hon. Isaac
Staples, of Saltwater. In the string are
seven thoroughbreds, including the famors
racer D'Artagnan, Gov. Neptune, Athelstane
Thornton Moore, Lucy Lee, Florence Paine
and Lucy Morrison. OF greater loca
celebrity than either of the above, is Go
Riceley, whose mile in 1881 upon the st
Paul track three years ago, stands as the
fastest ever run in the State The trottine
celebrity of the string is the little mare Kitty
Cook, with record of 2:26-2:2714, at Still
water July 4th-and the ability to mark he1
record down still lower. In addition t.
those already enumerated, there is Minnie
Cooper, Sallie Barton, Amber, Sammie 8.
