Preliminary Bust1e for the Great Fair
Bench Show Notes.
Only two new horses put in an appear
ance at the fair grounds yesterday, but these
were good ones. One was the very fast
young trotting horse Dutchman, owned by
Marrett and Spicer, and the other was a four
year old Draco Prince stallion out of
Black Hawk mare, owned by Mr. James
O'Brien, of Wabashaw.
Messrs. Ogden q Cooper, the Iowa excur-
sion managers, are working up big crowds
for st. Paul for fair week. Their excursion
embraces visits to the two cities, White Bear,
the Dalles, Minnehaha, and other points of
interest.
The entries in the different breeds of
horses are already very large, and much
finer stock than previous years. The same
may be- said of all the different classes.
Among the curiosities entered are suit
of continental clothes, worn at the battle of
the Cow Pens, during the revolutionary
war.
The State fair is going to be grand sue
cess, and don't you forget it.
letter from Arthur Lyon, master of the
Fairmont Hunt, and of the Exile boat club,
says: 81 think the hurdle race will be sue
cess, as we have got eight rafting good
jumpers, and every man has his silks and
tops"
Mr.. N. McAtfee, of the Bold Riders, is in
receipt of photograph of the Exile boat
crew, of Paramount. The photograph shows
four good looking and well-muscled young
fellows who ought to be able to row a
rafting race.
The Lake Superior Transit company are
selling round-trip tickets, good for twenty
days, from Buffalo to st. Paul, ard have a
large number of passages engaged already.
THE ART EXHIBITION.
Mr.. r. G. Munger, the superintendent of
the art gallery of the State fair, was busy as
bee yesterday in making his arrangements.
He wishes it to be understood that all parties
entering pictures of any description for COM
petition must have them on the ground on
Saturday, the 31st inst, SO as to afford time
for their due arrangement. Those who have
kindly expressed their intention to loan pic
lures for exhibition are requested to have
them ready on the morning of the same day,
when they will be called for and taken to the
grounds free of charge.
CATTLE ENTRIES.
Among the numerous entries yesterday
was part of the celebrated short horn herd
of Sam Deering, of st. Paul. At the head
of the herd we find that grand BULL third
Marquis, said by good judges to be one of
the finest bulls in the United States. His
size, color and groupings are certainly hard
to beat. He was sired by second Duke of
Hilhurst, that sold for $4,000, to go to Eng
land, and is creating great deal of excite
ment across the water. In bull No. 9 we
find fifth Marquis, by Belle Duke, an animal
that stands high up among the short horns,
and will certainly make some of the short
horn fanciers' eyes CLEAN. His COWS are
also fashionably bred, and all very fine. AS
he has the different strains, such as Yara
COS, Lenans, ETC., all good mixers, he will
add much to the cattle interest of the State
fair.
The herd from which these animals are
selected number 100, and finer lot would
be hard to find. AS Mr.. Deering intends to
make public sale of some short horns
some day during the fair, the farmers look
ing for fine stock will have grand oppor.

THE BENCH SHOW.
| Entries for the bench show have already
been received from States other than Min
nesota, as follows: Michigan, Missouri, Mas
sachusetts, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
+,1o IL
champion class, and will not come in compe-
tition with Minnesota dogs, so that local
owners need not hesitate te enter their dogs,
and as the entries will positively close on the
9th it is important that all intending
to make entries should do so as early as pos
sible so that Superintendent Lincoln NAV
make his calculations accordingly. A very
large and fine show of dogs is already as
sured, but as the enterprise belongs to Min
nesota, the more home dogs the better
Superintendent Lincoln will see that all en-
tries are provided for and carefully cared fol
during the exhibition.

will carry parties participating in the field
trials from st. Paul to Sank Centre and re-
turn for SIS less than half fare.
