In conversation it was developed that the
special train conveying the presidential par
ty would probably arrive in the morning
but it was understood the time of the trans
coming could be arranged to suit the con-
yenience of the state Agricultural society
and the citizens of ST. Paul in general.
Is was further stated that invitations have
been issued to parties to meet President
Hayes here, among whom were the gouernol
general of Canada, the governor OF Mani
toba, the British ambassador to the United
States, the members of the United States
cabinet the governors of all the States the
officers OF all State agricultural societies, ano
various other dignitaries OF the members
of the presidents cabinet, it was confidently
: anticipated that Secretary of the interior
Schurz would be in attendance.
The b-committee on procession was con
tinued in order to complete arrangements in
behalf of the State Agricultural society, and
was given power to act.
The chair presented the following letter
which he had forwarded to the mayor OF
Minneapolis.

THE PRESIDENTS PAVILION.
The officers of the Agricultural society
have already arranged for the comfort of the
Presidential party while on the fair grounds.
A pavilion, capable Of accommodatngabout
$50 persons, is to be erected just opposite
the grand stand, where the president can see
and be seen of all. A passage from the
railroad track to the pavilion is to be re-
served for the entrance and exit of the par
ty. An opportunity will be afforded for all to
have as free converse with Mr.. Hayes and
his party as is consistent with their comfort
and inclination.
THE ART GALLERY.
A decided feature of the fair will be the
art gallery. This department has been placed
in charge of Mr.. r. @. Munger, who has en-
tered upon the work of preparation with a
system, energy and determination that
augurs well for most complete exhibition.
One step toward this result is the erection
of an addition to the art building, "a by 4G
This addition will be used exclusively for
the hanging of paintings for exhibition
solely, while the paintings, photographs

A CHANCE FOR THE BOLD RIDERS.
If the State Agricultural society would
like few good strong, large sized timber
wolves that have not yet been Gagged OF do
mesticated to hurt them any, let them apply
to Hon. VIM. Fowler, at his farm, near New
port, Washington county, this State. These
wolves are brave and healthy, and they
possess running and hiding qualities not sur
passed by anything in the brute creation.
They are extremely active as disorganizers
and consumers-of sheep. One wolf has
been known to kill and eat up large fat
mutton in an hour and half, leaving moth
but the wool and two or three of the tough
est bones. On the first introduction of
wolves into that neighborhood there were
several focks Of fine wooded sheep, aggregat-
ing at least thousand, but they have about
all succumbed to these sneaks and now the
chickens, young calves and little swine fall a
prey to their rapacity. They are frequently
seen and have been shot at, but they seem to
be bullet-proof, and the law has no terror in
their eyes. They have an understanding
with the dogs of the neighborhood, so they
stay in nights and allow the wolves to have
things all their own way. In fact it isn't
considered healthy neighborhood for dogs
after dark, and the dogs know it.
One high toned wolf, slightly on his muscle,
has been known to run five or six brave
dogs from the sheep pasture square into the
back kitchen in broad daylight. 1t was a
very even and pretty race. The wolves
would have won only they took q notion to
stop at the front door and knock before 90
ing in. The State Agricultural society can
