Senator Ramses's house. At a few minutes
before 10 O'Clock the President made his APP.
pearance before the large enthusiastic con.
course which had assembled, and in response
to the repeated cheers and calls for the 'sPres-
ident, he made short and appropriate speech
after which the party eutered their carriages
down through the line formed on the seven
corners.

foot OF sibly street, and so closely packed that
it was impossible to move up or down with

Every window, too, had its occupants, and
lamp posts and awning supports held some
clinging gamin. As the immense cavalcade
passed along, reaching from the Metropolitan
hotei to the Merchants, Third street presented
a magnificent sight from the lower end. d. cor

neretts, arches, steamers and festoons. As
the Presidential carriage passed handkerchief
were waved and hats were removed in silent
respect for the first magistrate Of our great
people, Arriving at the !sibley street depot
the party at once entered the special tram
which took them to the State fair grounds.
One of the most pleasing events Of the
experimenting portion of the programme
was the enthusiasm which was shown regard
ing Mrs: Hayes. Emphatic calls were made
for this lady, who at last concented to go for
ward and, leaning on Acknowledgement Dew
ems arm, stepped to the front where she was
greeted with prolonged and earnest applause.
The Presidents speech was delivered witt.
good deal of vigor, for one who had for
days been pulled and hauled all through the
country until he must have been worn down
with fatigue, AID his sentences were charac-
terzed by clear enunciatiom and his gram
mer by some Of the mos! fragrant of errors.
Yet, taking it all in all, it was well delivered
ST.. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The shower in the
morning was welcome relief, over which
there was general congratulation, but when
skies, general disappointment was expressed
A feature OF the forenoon was the cavalcade
of prize cattle. There were severaI herds in
the parade, in all numbering over quo head.
There were Durhams, Hereforda, Devons
Getaways and Attorneys and the showing. as
whole, was probably the finest ever seen in
the Northwest. Mr.. Samuel Dering, of 81
Paul, was among the largest cattle exhibitors
eight of his entries winning the blue ribbon,
four red ribbons, and his entire herd the blue
ribbon for sweepstakes. During the day ex-
hibtions of the shooting skill OF Capt Bogar-
dus and his son were given sports OF the track,
and Unique Fox Hunt engaged the attention
of the crowd.
ST PAUL. Sept. with o'clock this
evening the curtain was rung down upon tn.
nineteenth annual exhibition OF the Minneso-
ia State Agricultural Society, and the sue
c.sses and failures connected with it are now
matters of history. Commencing with Mon
day morning early the exhibition was contn.
ued tn. oughout the entire week, giving Fix
days If continuous worry, labor and excite.
ment both for the officers Of the society, assis-
tants an. visitors. 1t WAS the fl. st time in the
history of the State that it was attempted to
run the exhibition an entire week, AID while
it was most brilliant success, it is doubtful
if the experiment will be repeated. There was
too much of good thing, and the hundred
and more thousands of visitors, the people of
st. Paul and the officers OF the society would
have been better satisfied with the general re-
suits had the fair been opened Tuesday
morning and closed Friday evening.
Suffice it that the general result was a grand
success. Energy and good judgement gerer.
ally marked the preparation resulting in an
aggregation Of attractions never before at
tempted within the State. Such being the
case the immense attendance, exceeding 3d.
600 peopie, and over 100000 for the entire
week, is not surprising. Such result is very
largely due to the energy, pluck and deter
mination OF Geo. r. Finch, the president Of
the society, backed by the hearty encourage
ment of the business men and citizens gener
ally of St. Paul.
At no time was large attendance ex-
pected to-day. The rain of last night ard the
threatening clouds with which the day was
urhered in would have dispell, such expec-
tation, had it existed. During the forenoon
the clouds broke away, and the afternoon was
one OF the most enjoyable of the entire week

had become dry, W re entertaining features
of the last day. The exhibition was Kept
almost intact until a. ter II O'Clock, though
some heav, articles were moved Off before
that ho:r. During the afternoon, however,
exhibitors generally turned their attention to
removing their exhibits, and at o'clock in
the evening but little OF the grand di play
which had excited the enco iums of more
than 100000 people during the six days of the
exhibition, remained in the buildings.
