representative of the GLOBE paid brief
visit to the fair grounds Saturday afternoon
and was surprised at the BUSINESS and hustle
going on there. Fully one hundred men
| were at work on the various departments.
| From thirty-fve to forty carpenters in the
employ of Taylor & Griggs were pushing on
the work in that branch. A small army of
colored heroes we're welding the whitewash
brushes, scaubbing out the different build
ings, clearing away the rubbish, pulling down
and pillng up. Men and teams were at
work on the track, scraping and rolling, and
putting it in the best possible condition for
the delicate feet of the nimble nags that
will tally their thousands there next week.
| A quarter of hundred of the quick
steppers were taking their evening walk, and
snatfing the breeze that was tanning their
glistening coats. A dozen men were at work
on the railroad extension, and
the ties have been extended to
within few feet of the grand amphi
theatre, SO the President and party can be
wheeled in palace car to the special pavil-
ion built for their honor, without contami-
mating the soles of their feet by contact
with the vigrin soil of Minnesota.
The demand for space keeps accumula-
ting, and the association is constantly adj
ding new buildings to make room for all.
The box stalls have been increased to nearly
five hundred. new structure, styled the
Trades Building" is being pushed rapidly
forward to completion. Its dimensions are
4Ox1O0 feet, with wing 20x4O. 1t is a du-
plicate of Machinery hall.
MACHINERY HALL.
The st. Paul Foundry Manufacturing

thirty horse power engine of their own
manufacture which is to drive the machinery
in that building and furnish the motor for
such other purposes as may be required dur
ing the exhibition.

Der may be seen ''Bashaw Mambrino,'' owned
by Clark Chambers sheriff of Steele county,
| this State. This horse was bred in Kentucky,
and is a very fine blooded animal.
He is styled a green horse, but he may not
be as green as he looks, for he is certainly
| beauty. ''Dutchman' IS on hand in all his
glory. He is as shiny as an otter and looks
| as ready for the fray as a Tartar. ''Draco
Prince Jr, is in company with Dutchman.
He is four -year-old, and is owned by s. H.
Huleatt, of Pepin, Wis. This horse has
all the important points of his royal sire,

himself on the turf. 'sDutchman - is in
charge of his driver, Mccoy. Both horses
are kept in Lake City when not on duty at
the races.
