4HE GREAT FAIRS.
The State Fair and the Minneapolis
Fair are over. That they were both
"immense' successes everybody will
admit. The legitimate exhibits were
little ahead of any former fairs, and the
outside attractions, such us Hayes,
Blaine, Carver, Bogardus, Rarus, etc.,
were in advance of those of any mere
State Fairs within our recollection
The crowds in attendance were prodig-

VERDICT OF IN IMPARTIAL VISITOR.
The following opinion OF the open
ing of the western circuit and last
weeks turf exercises ut Minneapolis,
is substantially the language of Mr..
Frank II. Dunton, editor Of Dunton's
Spirit of the Turf, Chicago:
Never in the annals of racing has
there been such large number Of peo
pie in attendance. From first to last
the crowd was simply overwhelming,
that on Friday being variously esti-
mated ut from 45,OOh to 10000. Even
with the rain of Saturday there were
2O, 600 people present, and from the
best calculations there have been 15O,-
600 persons present during the week.
making til is the browning event Of the
year, 50 far as financial success is con-
cerned. Taking the weeks racing, al.
in all, it has never been equalled
for well-fonglt contests. and to Col.
VIM. s. King is due the praise for
making the Minneapolis meeting a
grand suctess.
The st. Peter Tribune vigorously de-
tends the managers of the state insane
asylum, and Il number of little irregu-
1arities which the trustees and superill-
tendent could not explain before the
committee under oath, are explained
with u plausibility which indicates that
friend Moore knows more about the in
stitution than those entrusted with its
management, and a great mistake was
made in not putting him OH the stand.
In conclusion the Tribune says that if
its citizens submit to further insults
and bulldoZing from the committee they
are ''great FOOLS" All intimation that
orr friends down the river contemplate
a little rebellion against the States au-
th0rity.-MankatO Review.
We believe it was the Tribune which
declined to publish the news of any such
trihing matter as the killing or the sui
eide of insane patients at st. Peter, be-
cause such publication would wound
the feelings of the tender-hearted man.

the editor respect himself? Is he /.
