ST. PAUL & PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Manager Farley, of the st. Paul & Pacific,
has about completed the time card for the
running of State fair trains. The card calls
for eighteen trains day, running at times
to best suit the rush to and from the
grounds. The trains will be made up of
comfortable coaches, and the fare for the
round trip will be only 20 cents. In this
connection it may be stated that measures
are on foot to secure equally low rates by
the omnibus and hack lines, and it is prob
able that the regular fare by these convey
ances will be but Is cents each way.
In addition to the above, Manager Farley
has, at much inconvenience provided an ac-
commodation train to run between st. Paul
and Elk river. This train will leave Elk
River at $50 A. M, arriving at the fair
grounds at 1886. Returning at night the
train will leave st. Paul at $40 P. M, the
fair grounds at 1909 and Minneapolis at 7:42,
arriving at Elk river at 1928, in good time
for comfortable nights rest, ready for the
return next morning.

kato at 1O:3OP. NJ. Returning, the train will
leave Mankato at 5:3OA. NJ. and arrive at ST.

MORE ROOM.
A demand of which President Finch must
be heartily tired, is that almost daily made
upon him for more space. Yesterday it was
discovered that the trades building was too
small to accommodate the demands of ex-
hibitors, and an addition forty by sixty was
ordered. Messrs Busch & Co., dealers in
buggies, wagons and farm machinery, being
unable to secure sufficient space for their ex-
hibit in the present or contemplated struc-
lures, decided to build for themselves, and
before night work was inaugurated upon
building 3Ox1OO The display of this firm
will consist of buggies and wagons from the
celebrated mandatory of Fish Bros,
Racine, Wis, tanning mills, pIows, seeders,
and general line of agricultural ma
chinery.

The chamber of commerce yesterday de-
voted good deal of time to considering the
question of lodgings for the visitors who
will be present next week. A number of
plans were proposed, and finally commit
tee was appointed to secure accommodations
for the multitude by calling on citizens to
throw open their houses. The following
was the committee n. H. Sibley, T. j.
Barney, Thos Cochran, Geo. Benz, julius

Navigation Notes.
The river is falling very fast, and is now
within two and half inches of the low water
mark of last year, when it was lower than
for several years previous. The lowest point
reached last year was on the 9th of Septem-
Der, when the board marked one foot two
and a half inches. This, it will be remem-
bered, is not the depth of water in the chan
mel, but is supposed to be above the extreme
low water mark. Reports from Minneapolis
are that the water above the falls is lower
than at any previous time within the men,
