and Hopeful to be on Hand this Morning
Minor Mention.
Everything at the fair grounds was lively
enough yesterday to satisfy almost anyone,
although the exhibition was not opened to the
public Mt large, and could not be opened in
anything like proper shape till this morning.
Up till noon no admission was charged and
about the only attendance was personal exhib-
itors who were constantly arriving with new
goods small army Of vorkmen we're kept
constantly at work fashioning the goods into
fantastical and attractive forms, and
when completed the display will be a
hue one and credit TO all interested in max
ing it what it is intended TO be-the best and
most extensive fair ever held in Minneapolis.
The prospect was not very encouraging when
the doors were opened yesterday morning, but
with the hundreds of wOrkmen under the SUI
pervsion of the efficient heads of departments,
tho confusion and unfinished appearance of
things generally soon transformed into
order and beauty, and although there still re-
mains some work to do to get
everything into ship-shape, the fair
will open this morning in manner
calculated to satisfy all who may attend dur
ing the day. Many attractive features have
been arranged for to day, so that, while some
departments will be incomplete, the grand
whole will prove
SATISFACTORY TO THE MOST ExACTING.
1t would be futile to attempt graphic
description of the ar arrangement of the build
ings in this issue. Suffice it to say, that while
the general order of last year
has been followed to certain
extent the general arrangement has been
;al hat IL has a an roly 1iffarapt
effect and one that will doubtless prove more
pleasing to the masses. Every inch of space is
taken and will be filled without struggle to
cover bare walls and shelves. III fact, there is
so much material on hand that the great ques-
ton is, what shall be done with it. Everything
seems to indicate more substantial display,
and less decorations than last year.
Still there is sufficient supply of decora-
tons to give the halls a
DECIDEDLY ATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE.
The we'll remembered fountain in the center
window has been arranged to throw more water
than last season. The fac simile of Minnehaha
Falls, instead Of falling from the gallery only,
as before, now forms a steady stream of aqua
pura from the top of the room, and it's pleasing
music can be heard in almost every corner of
the building.
The florists have very materially assisted the
decor tors in enhancing the beauty of the
room, and their displays are indeed beautiful
The south entrance of the main building has
been closed with grotto, which Is the most
picturesque piece of decoration on the ground.
beautiful waterfall comes passing down
over the moss-c 'vered rocks, while at it's base
water fowls sport in the basin. Natural moss,
rocks, trees, evergreens and shrubbery sur
rounds the falls, while almost every native
bird reptile or wild animal known to this
State may be seen in it's characteristic attitude

The dairyman's building has vely credita-
BILE display. The stock department is being
rapidly filed up, and will be one of the strong
features of the fair. The stock now on hand
is equal to that shown on former years, and
some important additions are yet to be made.
THE TROTIERs.
While the horses continue to arrive the side
wheelers themselves have not yet put in an APP
pearance The telegraph has been used to as
certain what the prospect fur an early appear

Hopeful and the PAGERS would arrive by the
afternoon train, having missed connection, SO
that they could not get here before.
They arrived i'll care of Dan Mace, and Pate
and Splan will come this morning.
The track was in fine condition yesterday,
and in the morning the tr0tting horses already
on hand were out for a little exercise, and ap-
pear in good shape for the coming struggle.
