HoLsTEIN CATTLE.
Geo. E. Brown, of Elgin, Ill, manager Of
the Fox River Stock association, has written
Secretary Judson that he will be on hand
with his famous Holstein cattle, and as this
will be the first exhibit of any of this breed
of cattle at any of our State fairs, few
words in regard to them may not be amiss.
These cattle were bred in North Holland,
and were selected personally without regard
to cast, and in selecting them care was tax
en- to secure not only purity of blood, and
from VIGOROUSLY large milking families, but
particular attention was paid to fine points and
symmetry of form. In color they are black
and white, distinctly and prettily marked,
and in size they compare favorably with 9th
er large breeds. They make an excellent
cross with any of the other breeds, but par
ticularly with the grade short horn, trans
most absolute certainty.
For butter they rank among the best, the
product being abundant and of excellent
quality; and as cheese-makers
they excel all other breeds.
Mr.. Brown, being one of the largest and
best breeders of this breed of cattle in the
West, his Holsteins will be one of the great
attractions of the fair. Mr.. Brown will also
exhibit Cleveland Boy and English draft
horses of his own importation that are spok-
| en- of very highly by those that have seen them,
and we trust that the stock men of this State
may induce Mr.. Brown to leave some of his
stock in this State.

ent, Gen. Sibley continued his services
. chairman.
The principal business to be transacte
consisted in the receipt of reports from til
various organizations, secret and otherwis
of the city, representatives
which were present. The amour
of enthusiasm developed was truly marvel
Gus, and there is no doubt but that St. PAT
= will witness on the day of the Presidentis
visit the most glorious procession ever see
within its limits. The Knights of Pythia
e the Odd Fellows, the Druids, the Sons Q
Hermann, the Knights of st. Paul, th
: various Father Matthew societies, the Turf

e the military companies of Faribault an
Saltwater, the Minnesota Veteran associs
ton, the United States troops, the Fire d
; partment, and others too numerous to men
I ton have signifed their intentio
, of being in attendance. III
expectation is also felt that the Knights Ten
e plars of the entire State, who will be sun
). moned to general encampment, will ais
be in attendance. In fact, from present a.
. pearances, it would seem as if the who
\: II, =
a the temporary home of the Presidential pa
:, ty while in the city, will be lined by the 8
;; cieties, which will in succession counte
}. march after the President and his cor
s panions.
/ The line Of march will traverse Thil
;, street. It is hoped the various busine
+ houses will be decorated suitably for the o
/, casion, and it is especially hoped by Il
); committee that the decorations will be con
:, pleted on the evening previous, Wednesda
:; Sept. 4. The various organizations inten
y ing to participate in the procession are r
quested to report to Gen. Sanborn, Il
= marshal of the day, not later than Mcnda
. Sept 2,when the numbers anticipated to be
! attendance will also be specified. In CO
/. clusion of this department. of the prepar
}. tons for the State fair it may be mentiont
I. that the utmost enthusiasm prevails, al
q every indication seems to assure the fact til
:, !, President Hayes will be received in a sty
:. fully commensurate with his official POI
'. ton and eminently worthy of the city.
+ During the day, the President will hold
