greeted with prolonged and earnest applause.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The shower in the
morning was a welcome relief, over which
there was general congratulation, but when
1t was followed by threatening and lowering
skies, general disappointment was expressed
A feature OF the forenoon was the cavalcade
of prize cattle. There were several herds 10
the parade, In all numbering. over 200 head.
There were Durhams, Herefords, Devons
Getaways and Attorneys, and the showing, as
a whole, was probably the finest ever seen in
the Northwest. Mr.. Samuel Dering, of St.
Paul, was among the largest cattle exhibitors
eight of his entries winning the blue ribbon,
four red ribbons, and his entire herd the blue
ribbon for sweepstakes. During the day ex.
hibltions OF the shooting skill of Capt BOgar-
dus and his son were given sports of the track,
and a unique Fox Hunt engaged the attention
of the crowd.
ST. PAUL, Sept. with 6 o'clock this
evening the curtain was rung down upon tn:
nineteenth annual exhibition OF the Minneso-
ia State Agricultural Society, and the sue
c.sses and failures connected with it are now
matters of history. Commencing with Mon
day morning early the exhibition was contin.
ued tn, Oughout the entire week, giving six
days If continuous worry, labor and excite.
ment both for the officers Of the society, assis.
tants AN. visitors. It was the Fl. st time in the
history of the State that it was attempted to
run the exhibition an entire week, and while
1t was most brilliant success, it Is doubtful
If the experiment will be repeated. There was
aud more thousands of visitors, the people Of
st. Paul and the officers of the society would
nave been better satisfied with the general re.
suits had the fair been opened Tuesday
morning and closed Friday evening.
Suffice it that the general result was grand
success. Energy and good judgement gener
ally marked the preparation resulting in an
aggregation Of attractions never before at
tempted within the State. Such being the
case the immense attendance, exceeding 50,
OO0people, and over 100000 for the entire
week, is not surprising. Such result is very
largely due to the energy, pluck and deter
mination OF Geo. R. Finch, the president O
ment OF the business men and citizens gener
ally of st. Paul.
At no time was large attendance ex
pected to-day. The rain of last night ard the
| threatening clouds with which the day was
urhered in would have dispellcd such expec
tation, had it existed. During the forenoon
