FAIR NOTES.
s'uUcKLEBERRY's'' DISPLAY.
One of the finest, if not the very finest, agri-
cultural displays in Agricultural Hall is that of
our journalistic friend and altogether good fell
low, Gatchel, otherwise "Huckleberry," Of the
Wadena Tribune. Now Gatchell is not one of
those who concludes that he lives in the woods
because he is denizen of the banana zone of
the Northern Pacific. And so he determined,
with the help of his friends and neighbors, to
astonish the natives of Minneapolis with the
productions of Wadena and surrounding coun-
ties. Therefore this enterprising newspaper
granger packed carpet-bag full of pumpkins
and squashes, and potatoes as big as
pumpkins and squashes, and specimens
of all the cereals of that neigh
borhood and rushed down to the great
the southerly entrance of Agricultural Hall, as
the visitor is proceeding south.
Foolishness aside, MIR. Getchell displays a full
line of cereals-samples of rye straw eight feet
in height, timothy hay six feet high, with beads
ten inches long-the last the product of the
farm of Rev: Edward Wright, OF Woodside;
thirteen varieties of potatoes, perfect beauties;
one stool of winter wheat with Ga straws;
wheat raised by John Morris on breaking done
last Christmas (how's that for cold country;
the very finest samples Of barley, and thou
sand other attractive features which will open
the eyes of people as to that heretofore terra
incognita Wadena county. The GLOBE congrat-
ulates Wadena county on possessing Huckle-
berry and Huckleberry on possessing Wadena
county.
SMITH, sCRIBNER & co.
Messrs. Smith, Scribner & Co., of Washing
ton avenue, between Fifth and Sixth avenue
south, have a magnificent display of fine hard
ware. cutlery, and full exhibit of articles in
%h,,r in and about the mi lls A lcO
scoopers', carpenters and other mechanics
tools. 1t is the finest and best display ever
exhibited in Minnesota, and bespeaks the true
inwardness of the firm, which is doing the
most extensive retail business in its line in
the city. Their display is located at the right
of the northerly entrance in Mechanical Hall
SPECIAL FAIR MENTION.
Janney Moles, Brooks & Co. have one of the
finest locations in Mechanical hall, being di-
rectly in front of the visitor as they enter the
the building from the main entrance. This
firm is the leading hardware store in the State,
and their display at the Minneapolis exposition
exhibition full assortment of hardware and
fine cutlery, and, in addition thereto.
complete and perfect showing of their mill
furnishing goods. 1t is hardly necessary to
speak of the display. 1t speaks for ITSELF as
being a complete representation of the stock of
the most enterprisiug hardware firm in Min
nesota.
THE s1UDEBAKER DISPLAY IMPORTANT TO OAR
RAGE PURCHASERS.
Agricultural Hall is especially graced by
Messrs. Studebakers' grand display of elegant
vehicles. The ladies invariably exclaim, chow
elegantr' when gazing in fascinated fxedness at
the charming form of their carriages, while
farmers wax eulogistic of the firm who can
furnish extra-ironed, double-braced and truss
axle wagons for such moderate sum, AS
manufacturing firm the Studebakers require
no puff, for their names are in the mouths of
every one acquainted with American manufac-
tories.
Their stock as now exhibited at the Mime
apolis fair grounds, will not be removed, and
consequently will be sold at considerable dis
count from the mandatory or eastern prices.
Those wishing to purchase carriages, buggies,
or wagons will find it to their advantage to call
early to-day. Orders will be received or any
information cheerfully impaired by the ever
accommodating and gentlemanly attendants,
or by Mr.. A. G. Baird, companys agent, first
stall, Agricultural Hall.
IMPORTANT TO M11LERs.
D. w. Richardson exhibits one Of the most
unique and complete wheat-cleaning machines
we have ever seen. The wheat is thoroughly
cleaned from fuzz, ross and chit. and leave,
the machine as bright and clean as the glad eye
Of the miller who sees it enter the hopper
The principle is an entirely new. and we may
say, the only true one, more than ninety-nine
hundrdths of the work being done by the
action of wheat upon wheat, series of rap
idly-revolving ratchet segments serrated
plates constantly turning the wheat and rub
bing the kernels together with tremendous
velocity-not SO great, however, as to break the
grain. strong suction carries off all i'm
puritiea. No such thing as dirty wheat need
run through the stones with this machine in
use, and we heartily commend it to the public.
The Centennial award exhibit hangs over the
machine in the main hall.
s MISCELLANEOUS.
Bishop Whipple's display of curiosities from
the Indian country and the Sandwich Islands
attracts great attention in Agricultural Hall,
and is greatly admired. The GLOBE hopes to
