weather. though cool, was pleasant and exhil-
arating, and every one during the day ap-
peared we'll pleased with the exhibits and
races, and indeed they had cause to be
pleased with the display Of exhibits, for,
thanks to the many contributors and the in
defatigable exertions of the different com
mittees, the display was indeed fine. The
committees are deserving of great praise, for
the weather up to Thursday was cold and
rainy. and anything but encouraging, but
they perseyered in their efforts, and now
their work is crowned with success. All ar
ticles for exhibition were in place by Thurs
day night. Yesterday everything was in
perfect order, and the display in the diff
ferent departments was very fine.
The entries of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine being all in by Thursday noon, the
committees began their work of awarding
premiums.
The display of fruit is especially praise
worthy, fruit being represented in every
form-fresh, canned. picked, preserved, etc.
Johnny Peterson was on the grounds with
some larger trout than those he exhibited
the day previous.
The 100 yards foot race proved grand
fzzle. The ground was staked off, and
shortly after o'clock the contestants ap-
peared. The race was pretty even for about
thirty yards, and then Barter slowly drew
ahead. After running about forty-fve yards
Mclaughlin stopped and Barter came III
winner of the race, but not the money, as
there was none up. No time was taken, the
running being too fast for the reporters.
Trotting race, three minute class: For this
there were three entries Redwood Maid
b. m. Henry, Seely, Saltwater; Charlie
Reid, b. g., E. A. Parker, Minneapolis: and
Gov. DAVIS, s. g., DR.. Stone, st. Paul. Four
heats were trotted with the following result
Redwood Maid .................2 l
Charlie Reed 2 2 8
Gov. Davis ....... ...............3 3 3 2
Time 2:5O4. 2:5o11s, 2:46, 2:46.
Between the second and third heats took
place a mile walking match between Gen.
Clark's Royal George and VIM, Rutherford's
'Taraway. The, race was won by Roya
George in 1890. The trotting race ended
| the turf sports, the novelty race not taking
place. In the trial of draft horses there
were two teams which showed their pulling
| qualities. j. Huntley's team drew the stone
boat loaded with rock in the forenoon, anC
one of Isaac Staples drew it at noon. About
O'Clock Jim Talin arrived with his biz
team, and drew the same load with clever
men on top of it. But the entries were
closed when he arrived and Huntley's team
came out victorious. The followin, gentle
men assumed the management of the races
Capt. Cowan, starter; Judge, Dud Hersey
Gen. Clark. and E. Moses, of Minneapolis
assistant and timer. An interesting feature
to those who take delight in such matters
was dog fight, which took place outside the
grounds. Not much damage done on either
side.
