ROCHESTER,, Sept. 4.-The State fair for
1880 has been brought to close, and it can
safely be set down as success, notwithstand
ing the gloomy outlook upon the first and
second days. As the GLOBE has already
stated, much credit for this result is due to
the citizens Of Rochester. When it is re-
membered that six weeks before the fair
opened, it was not known whether State
fair would be held or not, and that all the
buildings had to be erected and
every arrangement made in that short
time it is simply astonishing the result has
been so gratifying. The general display,
while not large, was excellent, especially in
the
LIVE STOCK LINE.
The races, while not participated in by any
horses of worldwide fame, were fine exhibit
tons of speed and the time made was very
creditable. The show of the products of the
State made by the Winona & st. Peter rail
road company, and by the st. Paul, Mime
Rpolis & Manitoba road was sufficient to con-
vince all of the wonderful fertility of Minneso-
ia soil and the adaptability of her climate to
the growth and maturity of all kinds of
grain, vegetables and many kinds of fruit,
such as apples, grapes, plums, etc. The en-
te.prise of
THE ST. PAUL & MANITOBA
railroad company, in making SO large
and creditable an exhibition, wss freely com
mented upon by every one who saw the dis.
play. Too much credit cannot be awarded
Mai A. M. Fridley, one of the officers of
the fair, for his zsal in showing to the peo-
pie Of Southern Minnesota what Northern
Minnesota can do in the line of products of
all kindsS Th& major spent q
large portion of his time in
giving information to interested parties
in reference to the character of the soil of
northern Minnesota, especially along the
line of the road be SO ably represented.
NOTABLE DISPLAYS.
Some of the merchants of Rochester made
really splendid displays, among which we
notice those of A. Nelson, J. D. Blake Il
Co., and Kellogg & Jones.
The display of embroidery, crochet work
and other needle work was very large and
fine.
The show of machinery was also quite
extensive, and drew the attention not only
of the tarmars but also of their wives and
daughters.
Among the interesting displays made was
that of the Red Wing Stoneware company,
who had en- exhibition all kinds of stone
ware, made by them at their mandatory at
Red Wing. Their ware is fast becoming
known TO the trade as equal, if not superior,
to that of Eastern manufacture. As the ar
ticles they Manufacture are both weighty
and bulky, it will readily be seen that deal
ers will fnd it to their interest and profit to
purchase of this company.
Smother home invention attracted the at
tention OF every horseman on the grounds.
We refer to A. j. Lockie's patent horse
shoes with hoof pads, for various diseases of
the feet. 1t can be used either in SUMNER or
winter with good effect, and is very highly
recommended by all veterinary surgeons and
experienced blacksmiths who have seen or
used them. Mr. Locke is practical horse
sheer in Rochester, Minnesota, and his
invention is of especial interest to every own
er of horse.
Much disappointment was expressed that
Messrs. DeGraff & Hopkins were unable to
exhibit their magnificent herd of cattle and
stud of horses. and no one regretted it more
keenly than Mr.. DeGraff, who was an at
tendant at this fair for several days.
A short time ago distemper
broke out among his horses. and,
although they are rapidly recovering, 1t was
not safe to exhibit them. A large number
of his finest COWS have Just dropped their
calves aud they could not be removed. The
Lake Efysian farm, therefore, will not be
represented at any fair this season.
ST. PAUL EXHIBITORS.
Among the visitors at the fair to-day and
with the exception of very few others, out.
side of newspaper mep) the only ones that
put in an appearance from st. Paul or Ram
sey couKty were John A. Berkey,
w. A. Hendrickson and Sam. Deering. The
two latter gentlemen arrived just in time
to examine the fine cattle on exhibition, and
Mr.. Berkey was confronted with futter of
blue ribbons, representing the first prize on
baking powder, pure ground spices, flavor
ing extracts, toilet articles, etc., etc. Mr..
Berkey was the only exhibitor ct the fair
from st. Paul, and the GLOBE gladly records
that he received his reward, both for the
merit of his articles exhibited, and for his
enterprise in making an exhibit.
sRFAKING UP.
Early this morning exhibitors began to re
move their articles. and by noon the main
hall, the railroad building and machinery
hall were pretty we'll dismantled, and even
The tepces of the p. p. and Minneapolis
Tribune disappeared, their occupants, having
like that kind of Arabs, ''folded their tents,

st. Paul Daily GLOBE remaios, however,
and will be occupied again the first Monday
in September, 1881, due notice of
which is hereby given. From
8 O'Clock in the moroiug until late
in the afternoon the road leading to the city
was thropged with blooded animals, loaded
drays, fat men, and lean women; wild men
from Borneo and big serpents from the
wilds of Asia and Africa, with the lame, the
halt aud the blind, all seeking another des-
tination. By noon the canvass village had
disappeared, and where only few hours
before all had been life and animation, quiet
reiened supreme. But while the material
part of the exhibition had vanished, the ia.
terest in the races which were to take place
remained uudiminished. The grand stand
was well filled with spectators.
At one o'oock Wild Bill broke out of 104
balls all but Is.
