Especial Telegram to the Globe.

l
1880 has been brought to close, and it Cal
safely be set down as asuccess, notwithstand
ing the gloomy outlook upon the first and
second days. As the GLOBE has already
stated, much credit for this result is due tc
the citizens of Rochester. When it is re-
membered that six weeks before the fai1
| 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 sholt
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 exhibi-
tions of speed and the time made was very
creditable. The show of the products of the
State made by the Winons & st. Peter rail
road company, and by the st. Paul, Mime.
apolis & 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-
te4 prise of
TIE ST. PAUL & MANITOBA
railroad company, in making so large
and creditable an exhibition, was freely COM
mented upon by every one who saw the dis
play. Too much credit cannot be awarded
Mos o$ 41G~ e
the fair, for his zeal in showing to the peo-
pie Of Southern Minnesota what Northern
Minnesota can do in the line of products of
all kinds. The major spent 9
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 has is 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 g.
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
of the tarmars but also of their wives and
daughters.
Among the Interesting displaya .aado was
that of the Red Wing Stoneware company,
who had On exhibition all kinds of stone
ware, made by them at their manufactory 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
MI ,foNt hot, ;<,k&
and bulky, it will readily be seen that deal
ers will find it to their interest and profit to
purchase of this company.
Another 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 summer or
winter with good effect, and is very highly
recommended by all veterinary surgeons and
experienced blacksmiths who have seen or
used them. MIR. Locke is prsctical horse
shoer in Rochester, Minnesota, and his
invention is of especial interest to every own
OK of horse.
Much disappointment was expressed that
Messrs DeGraff & Hopkins were unable to
exhibit their magnificent herd of cattle and
stud of borses. and no one regretted it Eore
keenly than Mr.. DeGraf, 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, it was
not safe to exhibit them. large number
of his finest COWS have just dropped their
calves and they could not be removed. The
Lake Elysian 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 men) the only ones that
put in an appearance from st. Paul or Ram
sey County 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 hutter 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 at the fal,
| 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.
BREAKING UP.
Early this morning exhibitors began to 10
move their articles, and by noon the main
hall, the railroad building and machinery
hall were pretty we'll dismantled, and ever
the tepees of.the P. p. and Minneapol:s
Tribune disappeared, their occupants, having
like that kind of Arabs, s'folded their tents
and silently moved away" The office of the
st. Paul Daily GLOBE remains, however
and will be occupied again the first Monday
in September. 1881, due notice oi
which is hereby given. From
8 o'clock in the morning until late
in the afternoon the road leading to tue city
was thronged with blooded animals, loaded
drays, fat men, and lean women; wild men
from Bnrneo and big serpents from the
wilds of Asia and Africa, with the lame, the
halt and 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
reigned supreme. Bot while the material
part of the exhibition had vanished, the in.
terest in the races which were to take placs
remained undiminished. The grand stand
was well filled with spectators.
At one o'cock Wild Bill broke out of 1O4
balls all but l3.
