WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
1t will be remembered that for the purpose
of securing extra attractions for the fair enor-
nous premiums were neutrality-suspicious. ex-
ceeding in amount anything ever offered be-
fore in the western country. These large in
ducements stimulated fine stock breeders from
Maine to California to bring their stock
at immense expense, and eliminated

of horses and cattle ever brouget together
in one inclosure in America. All this stock
vas scatter immediately upon the close OF
the Minneapolis exposition, some going to
Madison Wis. some to Dubuque, Iowa, and
still other portions to other sections of the
country. Of course all premiums must be
paid these foreign exhibitors at once, or great
Dissatisfaction would result: and SO, before u
o'clock of Saturday night, the TIN inst, every
ran and woman outside the borders of Minne-
sofa was paid the full amount of premiums
awarded to him or her, and was prepared
to go their way rejoicing. This
took over $4,000 in money. Then on Monday
the management commenced paying and paid
. considerable amount Of the most pressing To-
cal demands, after which further time was ia
ken until yesterday, to straighten the books
and inaugurate something like permanent
system OF bookkeeping.
ON YESTERDAY
it was announced that all obligations of the
association due laboring men would be paid,
and small army OF laborers were present
awaiting the fulfillment of the promise. 1t WAS
fulfilled to the letter and every laborer and
mechanic who had put in hours work for
the association was paid the full amount OF his
bill
The officers now announce that during the
present week all outstanding Indebtedness will
be fully and completely wiped out, and the

The GLOBE learns incidentally that the total
amount paid out for buildings, premiums, etc.,
including all expenses paid up to the present
time is not far from 1000. The buildings
they are on the grounds permanently, and will
do service probably for years to come. The
building account was the only that has
caused the association any trouble, and that is
now happily adjusted.
