[Dunton's Spirit of the Turf, Chicago.I
It is a remarkable fact, that boys should
not attempt to do the work of strong men.
There is another fact which is proper to
mention in connection with the st. Paul fair
of 187S-that it takes money to make the
mare go, and Mr.. Isaac Staples, of Still
water has offered 81 900 to aid the enter
prise. Many other gentlemen of wealth
have also made liberal donations for the
coming fair, and it is reasonable to conclude,
when such men as Mr. Staples, of Saltwater,
whose money is counted by millions, put
their fingers in their pockets and draw out
the wealth by the thousand, that something
Is to be done. Minnesota is rich in all that
is needed to make a prosperous fair-men,
money, horses and cattle. The crop of 1877
was abundant. That of 1873 promises re-
markably we'll. Already half or nearly all
the seeding is done. Trotting, running, and
grand list of premiums will be given, to
the amount of $4,000 at least besides
which, the association is differed with the
very best of Minnesota material.
George r. Finch of the firm of Auerbach.
Finch, Culbertson & Co., wholesale dry goods
merchants, of st. Paul, has recently been
elected president of the twentieth annual
Minnesota State Agricultural society, to be
held in st. Paul, September I'd, Sd, 4th, 9Th,
9th and 7th, 1873. MIR. Finch is a gentle
man in every sense of the word. He came
! to ST. Paul in 1862, and became member of
fi,sro0 hat -
has rose in the estimation of those with
whom he has done business, until he was re-
garded as the most suitable man in the State
| for the position of president.
d. w. Ingersoll, pioneer merchant of ST.
Paul. president of the State Reform School,
| president of the St. Paul Elevator and Ware
| house company, president of the chamber of
commerce, has been chosen first vice presi-
dent of the State Agricultural society. Mr..
Ingersoll came to ST. Paul at a very early
day, has held very many offices Of tust, and
| will now show Minnesota what he knows
about agricultural fairs and horse shows.
Samuel Adams, one of the early movers in
the grange party, who is resident of Mon
ticello. Wright county, grand master and
lecturer for the grange, has been elected to
the office of second vice president.
VIM. Fowler, wealthy farmer of Wash
| lngton county, a member of the State Leg
islature, an old settler and respected Cit
zen, has been elected to fill the Office of
third vice president and it is thought he can
do it.
Col. Geo. Culver, proprietor of the Metro
politan hotel, has been chosen as the proper
man for treasurer of the State Agricultural
society. He has been identified with st.
Paul for many years and has fought fortunes
battles, and rose to the topmost round of the
/ financial ladder. And now that he has mas
tered all other obstacles, he will, this year
demonstrate his fitness for the trust imposed
upon him by the people of his locality.
Il. @. Judson, of Pennington, gentleman
who has held the Office of secretary for 81,
years past, and whose fitness for the place is
too complete to require comment, has again
been called to endure the arduous duties
that necessarily fall to the lot of his office
and will, this year, as heretofore, act as secre
tary of the Minnesota State Agriculture
society. Already he has begun to prepare
the ''bill of fare'' for 1873. We believe i
will be good one.
We have thus briefly dilated upon thu
situation of the twentieth Minnesota Stat,
Agricultural society, and all we have to ado
is, that we trust that the Christian work viii
be Immediately carried to success.

We trust our farmer friends will see to il
that Becker county is well represented this

accruing from these annual gatherings
There is no reason why we of Becker should
