A time of reaction always comes. Thos
who com. oied The immense crowd lat q,
sembled at the Minneapolis fair on Tuesda,
seem to have paused to take breath. The,
saw all there was to be seen on Tuesday ant
went home for rest. Yesterday morning
the weather was clsar, cool and delightful
but it was not sufficient to entice the tirei
and weary visitors at the fair of the day be
fore to leave their downy couches, and hence
the attendance yesterday was rather light
Not to exceed 10000 people were on the
grounds. The youngsters had their fun or
Monday and the elderly ones had qetantum
sltdfcit on Tuesday. Both old and young
apparently had seen enough to last them fol
forty eight hours at least. The excitement
of Tuesday had exhausted them, and those
who were present yesterday had an oppor-
tunity TO see the various displays in the diff
ferent buildings as we'll as to take in the
races, with some degree of comfort.
The first event of the day to attract any
interest was the arrival of the Governors
guards, Minnesota militia, of New Ulm, under
Capt. Robt. Bobleter. Th ey marched upon
the grounds at $50 A. NJ, and at once went
into camp on grounds assigned them. The
company number twenty-nine men. They
wore the regular army uniform of blue and
present very neat and tidy appearance.
They are fine looking body of men and
are well drilled. Accompanying them is q
drum corps oftweive drummer boys, also
neatly uniformed, and they seem to be
equally alive to the importance of their posi-
6 P. NJ. and at P. II. they gave dress par
ade in front of the Nicollet house. They
will be on the grounds to-day,and to morrow
Friday) they will visit st. Paul to pay their
respects to the governor at the capitol. Their
camp was the center of interest during the
day, and the boys divided the honors with
the other exhibitors.
MISS JEWETT.
Early in the day GLOBE reporter called
upon Miss Emma Jewett at the residence of
Mr.. Paineon the corner of Hawthorne avenue
and Twelfth street and was pleased to find
that she was quite comfortable and not like
ly to suffer much from her accident of Tues
day. She passed a restless night owing to
the shock of her fall, and her ankle which
was sprained panied her considerable, yet
she expressed determination to witness the
equestrienne contest between Miss Cook and
Miss Pinneo on Friday. Her nerve and
presence of mind is illustrated by the series
of mishaps which befel her in the race.
Those who saw the race will remember that
she did not change horses at the end of the
first mile, and she explains this by stating
that before she had ran o half mile her stir
rup strap broke and she could not control
her horse. After coming around the second
mile, while changing horses, one of them
kicked her in the side, which panied her fear
fully at the time, and still is the most
painful injary she received.
Hardly had she mounted her third horse
before the saddle girth broke and once more
she was obliged to let her horse run two
miles, every moment expecting to be thrown,
and to clap the cli'uax of her mishaps on
the eighth mile her sddle turned and threw
her to the ground, as stated in the GLOBE
yesterday. 1t requires nerve and grit to
bear up under such an accumulation of acci-
dents, but Miss Jewett takes them all in
philosophical way and does not blame any
one for her misfortunes. Miss Cook and
contest tomorrow, and it is safe to say that
both of them will see that no similar &C
cident will take place, and that the full
twenty miles will be run. Both are in good
spirits AID both express the utmost con.
fdence in winning the lady championship of
America as we'll as the money. This race
will be the great event of tomorrow.
BEsTowING THE RIBBONS.
The judges in the different divisions were
at work yesterday and blue and red ribbons
are beginning to make their appearance.
much to the qualification of the owners of
fine horses, cattle, etc. Among the horses
on exhibition are three belonging to E. w.
Grovenor, of Hastings. They are imported
Percheron Normans and two of them car
ried off the ribbon.
1t is not out of place to mention that the
police regulations are perfect. Major A. B.
Bracket, of this city, is the marshaIj of the
race track and Capt. Gilmore marshal of
the grounds. They are aided by compe-
tent corps of assistants and thus far
they have performed their difficult duties
most admirably and to the satisfaction both
of visitors and exhibitors.
Among the exhibits worthy of mention are
the wagons manufactured by the Winona-
Rushford Wagon company. Their wagons
are comparatively new to the trade, but the
Rushford wagon has been in the market for
the last twenty years and has reputation
unsurpassed by any manufactured on
the American continent. The COM
pany takes the greatest care in the selection
of material, and will not use any other but
the very best. They claim to make the best
farm wagons (Which is their speciality there
is in the United States. They have but one
grade of work and but one style of wagon,
and hence the company lend all their efforts
in making first-class wagon, which they
offer to the trade at low prices and on liber-
al terms. The company has testimonials
from some of the leading farmers of the
State, most of whom certify that it is the
best wagon they ever saw in the market.
Some have used the wagons for years and
say that they are good YET, and recommend
their friends to purchase no other kind of
wagon They are first class in every respect,
and those desiring good, durable wagon at
a low price, should call upon the company
for facts and figures. Their address is the
Winona-Rushford Wagon company, of Wi
mona, and letter addressed to them at Wi
mona will meet with prompt response.
O. B. THURsToN.
Walking down Agricultural avenue on the
fair grounds. the sightseer sees the build
ing of G. B. Thurston of st. Paul. He has
there samples of small portion of his
stock, prominent among which we mention
nloWa of MANY kinds from the preat aori
cultural works of Partin q Orendorff, of
Canton, Illinois. These celebrated plows
have been sold all over the
Northwestern territory, and give
very general satisfaction. The Triumph
broadcast seeder, the Triumph grain drill,
and the favor1te "Tiger" sulky hay rake,
from the factory of j. W. Stoddard & Co.,
Dayton, Ohio, are so well known that they
hardly need a passing notice from us. Mr..
Thurston has built up an immense trade in
