live board of the State Agricultural society,
arrived in the city yesterday, and took off
their coats (fguratively speaking) and went

pie order.
| RECEIVING THE PRESIDENT.
The committee appointed by the State
Agricultural society on reception of Presi-
dent Hayes held an adjourned meeting at
the chamber of commerce, Gov. Pillsbury
occupying the chair.
| Representatives from various organiza-
tions we're present, aud from their reports it
would appear that the attendance of the
societies will be unusually large, and the
procession gives every promise of being
worthy of the city and the occasion.
The following official notice was ordered
to be published:
All organizations in the State are requested
to form part of the procession by which the
President is to be received in this city on the
morning of September 9Th. And they are re-
quested to report without more special invita-
| tion to the chief marshal, Gen. Van Cleve, at
| the Office of the adjutant general in the State
| capitol before or by o'clock P. NJ, September
I'd.

Ex-Gov. STEPHEN MILLER,
Ex-Gov. w. R. MARsHLL,
Ex-Gov HORACE AUSTIN,
Ex-Gov. G. X. DAVIS.
| ST. Paul, August &C. 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 A. NJ, at the chamber of commerce
THE VETERANS.

| the Minnesota Veteran association was held

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:
CAT 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 certain variety of
Indian corn grown in that State. 1t is said
that successful experiments of this kind
have already been made in two counties of
Minnesota, and that the mannfactur-
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
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 very busy time yesterday in re-
ceiving and booking entries, etc. Among
the entries were the following: A. P. Fos-
ter, Plainview, three head of Jerseys, as fol-
lows: bull, Marquis of Lawrence, two years
old; cow, Dew Drop, and Jennie June, q
two months calf. VIM. G. Kieser, of Madi-
son, Wis.,, his fine herd of short horns, said
to be the finest in the State of Wisconsin.
MIR. Peter Dairy, of Montery, Wis, comes to
| the front with his herd of Scotch Galloways
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 ten
stalls for short horn herd. The Downey
Bros, of Owatonna, secured accommodations
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 Plow works,
which will make large exhibit of their cele-
brated plows of different patterns There
were large number of other entries, but
these will do for one day, and give faint
reflex of the attractions to be seen at the
great fair.
| RUNNERS AND TRoTTERs.
The principal arrival in the horse line at
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,
