Fair Notes.


Y. c. Lutte associate editor of the Western
Stock Journal aud Farmer of Cedar Rapids
Ia, popped into The GLOBE office yesterday,
and declared it did beat all that he had ever
saw. He had no idea of what a grand show
we had until he came to the grounds
The banks and most Of the places of busi-
ness closed yesterday afternoon to allow
the employees to visit the fair.
Notable among the grand display of agricnl-
tural implements in that department 10 the
splendid display of plows, made by that old.
reliable Minneapolis firm, Messrs. Laraway q
King. The display consists of a full line OF
their goods (Which, by the way, are celebrated
from north Missouri to Manitoba), consisting
of breaking and cross plows, cultiyators, etc.,
etc. The goods are not a show stock, but such
as are turned ont from their factory every day
in the year and pushed into the soil in every
county in the Mort west. The GLOBE candidy
believes that ali farmers had bought and used
Laraway 81 Kings pows during the last ten
years (as they might have done by buying
them) the grasshopper plague would have been
avoided and the average yield of wheat would
have been forty bushels per acre.
Mr. r.. p. Russell, of this city, had valu-
able horse and buggy stolen from the inside OF
the fair grounds yesterday, and at last accounts
was still looking for il.
The Universalst ladies continue to feed the
whole universe in good shape and for u reason
able consideration. Call and see the ladies'
adjoining the GLOBE palace.
THE BISMARCK EXHIBIT.
Col. William Thompson, Thomas Van Etten
and G. w. Thompson have on exhibition in Ag-
ricultural hall fine display of grain and
other products raised at Bismarck Dakota the
present terminus of the North Pacific rail
road comprising melons, cucumbers, beets,
pumpkins, squashes, melons, wheat and oats
threshed and in the sheaf, corn in the stalk,
md win Ia h,,I1 he
articles are large and of fine quality. The
grain attracts special attention; the samples OF
wheat are equal to any No.
wheat exhibition from any locality,
and was sown May Sd, and cut July Goth, and
yielded thirty bushels to the acre The oats
yielded fifty bushels to the acre and weighs
thirty-six pounds to the bushel. This exhibit
proves that that part of Dakota generally sup
posed to be too dry for farming is well adapted
for the raising of grain and other products, and
that farming can DE carried there success
fully.
COMMITTEES AT WORK.
The stock committees at work yeater-
upon the relative merits of Norman and Clyde
horses, and the immense herds of short horns,
Ayrshire, Hereford and other fine haired.
La short, all the various stock committees
we're busy with their pets throughout the
entire day. 1t is too early TO mention even
briefly the successful heroes of the live stock
arena, but as the days go by they will receive
their need of praise in the GLOBE
RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Yesterday evening a farmers team owned by
Swede named Anderson, which was returning
from the fair, ran away near Plymouth avenue
throwing out the occupants. which consisted
oil his wife and three children. The wagon was
broken and the family had the pleasure OF

THE RACES
Long before the appointed hour for the races the
grand stand filled to overlooking. The Silks
laces and feathers of the ladies made the vast struc
ture one bouquet of beauty. The three entrances
were constantly thronged with surging mass all
striving to gain admittance. The back seats alled up
first, leaving the line of sun rather bare but az they
sui came all were Obliged to seat as best they might
and patiently i'll the sun they bore the scorchiua rays
ladies' never rninding the subsequent red nose and
reckles bound to follow so Interested they all
Inc DAY was exceedingly warm, but stiff southern
breeze served to fan the heated brows. the great
anxiety was to see the running race and by O'Clock
not single seat vacant in the stand while way
down the track, clear past the threa-qarter pole 81
solid mass OF humanity surged and crowded for the
front place.
HOPEFUL.
During the afternoon Col King announced from
the surety that he would beat Rarrs' time made in ST.
Pani yesterday, also that SInugger and Gov Sprapne
would give an exhibition in the afternoon.
The waits were tedious and for 80 vast
the very best of order maintained. Judge
Smith, the starter who has attended for years,
says that he has never in the course of his life seen
such mass OF humanity at Il horse race.
