fair grounds, and away into the night and all
night long parties were arranging their exhibits
moving in and putting up. The labor per-
formed Slturd ~ was perfectly marvellous. The
demand for space becomes 80 urgent. and is 30
much greater than was anticipated at the be-
ginning that the association will erect a new
building 50xl0O feet, to be devoted to the dis
play of agricultural machinery and farm inn
PIGMENTS. 1t will be up and ready for occu-
pancy by Monday evening. A number of eat
ing stands are being erected in addition
to those originally designed. The heavy
and more cumbersome articles are being
taken upon the grounds and rapidly placed in
position. In each of the various buildings
about as many are at work as there is room for,
but there should be no abatement until the
finishing touches are given.
ART GALLERY.
Under the direction of r. G. Munger this de-
partment is assuming form and beauty. To
the lover of the fine arts this building will be
grand attraction. We will venture the asser-
ton that it ill surpass any exhibition of the
kind ever put up in the Northwest outside of
Chicago. Mr.. Munger is an al fist himself, and
he is just the man that will make the art
gallery marvel of beauty.
FLORAL HALL.
The ladies have done good work in fitting
up this hall, but much yet remains to be DONE
1t is to be hoped they will continue in well do
ing until the last wreath is woven and the last
yard OF bunting hespangles the inner walls.
MERCANTILE BUILDING.
Here again is another busy place. Carpen-
aers were partitioning off space, and exhibitors
were crowding in their goods even before the
mechanics were out of the way. Offices in the
wing of this building being fitted up
in very neat and convenient manner for
the president, secretary and other mem bers of
the association. At least fifty men were at
work in this building, embellishing their
spaces ami putting up their exhibits.
THE DAIRY BUILDING.
The whitewashers were MAXIM the interior
of this enterprise look as if there had been
young snow storm. Carpenters were putt ng
up shelving stands, tables and other struc-
lures, upon which to exhibit the various arti-
cles. The building is commodious, and it
will no doubt contain an elegant display of
dairy and household products.
MECHANICS HALL.
In this building we found great commo-
ton among thirty men, all busy adjusting the
heavy machinery and getting up their ponder
GUS exhibits in place. In this building the
steam power is located, aud much of the ma
chinery will be driven by that motor.
HARDWARE HALL.
The hardware men have their spaces in this
building in good shape, and many of the ex
hibits are already adjusted. Great heaters,
stoves of different patterns. cutlery and COM
plete assortment of hardware will grace the
apartments of this enterprise.
GOOD IDEA.
An excavation is being made just back and
near the main buildings for reservoir. Its
dimensions will be twenty by Thirty feet and
i've feet in depth. I is designed as a pre-
caution against fire. The wells near will sun
ply it with water, and it ia to be kept full
while the fair lasts.
''Old Abe the Wisconsin war eagle ar.
rived yesterday afternoon and was assigned to

personal supervision of m for many years.
STOCK FROM MONTANA.
David Kahn weller, of Montana, entered YES
terday for the fair car load of Montana
cattle, several buffalo and twenty antelope.
They will arrive about the middle of the week.
A suitable place is being prepared for them at
tie grounds where they will attract universal
attention. Some of these cattle are said to be
as large an fair-sized elephants standing six
and half feet in height. They are the pick
of about one thousand head now being grazed
near Bismarck. The herd was raised between
Alkali creek and the Little Big Horn Mon
tana, near the Custer battle ground Mr..
Kahnweiler will also give exhibitions in throw
ing the lariat and catching wild cattle and buff
falo, at which he is said to display remarkable
dexterity.
TIE SUGAR BUILDING.
The machinery For the manufacture of sugar
from the Amber cane is on the ground and will
soon he put in motion. 1t will be a novel en-
terprlse to most people in this part of the
country. The cane will arrive Monday and the
juice will be turned into perfect granulated
sugar ON the srOt
Manufacturer Bros; Boston One Price cloth
ing store; II. W. Herzog, of Minneapolis:
Scheik Il Co.; Emil Geist; Pollock & Donald
son; Myers Finch and dozen Others in the
mercantile building have their, exhibits well
under way. and they are very attractive dis
plays. Many in the other bulldogs are doing
a. we'll. 1t would not be reasonable to sup
pose that any work will be done at the grounds
to-day, but there will be great change in the
appearance of things out there between
this and Monday evening. The
Presidents pavilion is to be
completed by Tuesday noon. Special trains
