The fourth Day of the great fair at Mime
apolis did not differ much from the preced
ing day either by incident or in point of at
tendance. There was probably couple of
thousand mora persons on the grounds than
there was on Wednesday. The weather was
cool in the morning, but it was clear, SUE
shiny day, and up to noon it was delightful.
Shortly after noon the wind rose, and when
the races we're called, at 1;S0 P. NJ, it was
blowing almost gale. The grounds as we'll
as the race course had been kept thoroughly
wet and hence there was no suffering from
dust. The visitors yesterday were composed
more largely of ladies in proportion to those
present than on any previous day. They had
fine opportunity to see all there was on ex-
hibition, as at no time was either of the
main exhibition halls crowded. The pro-
eramme of the races was not calculated to
create very much enthusiasm, and this,
taken in connection with the great eques
trienne contest, which takes place to-day
between Miss Cook, of California, and Miss
Pinneo, of Colorado, kept many away, but
will draw out another immense crowd on
Friday. This race will be called promptly
at P. NJ. and as it will take only a little over
an hour to finish it all those who desire can
see it, and leave for home on the earlier
trains, and thus avoid delay and the crowded
cars,
The judges were at work in the different
departments all day yesterday, and in some
of the divisions they have inishedibut not
reported. The ribbons are flying in every
direction. In the dairy line Mrs. G. Il.
Clarke, of Minneapolis; Mrs. VIM. Fowler,
of Washington county, and Mrs. H. j. Wads-
worth, of Waseca, carry off the principal
prizes.
The judges in the different classes of horses
have not completed their labors. In classes
A and B, Peroheron Normans, Leonard
johnson, of Dakota county, T. L. De-
lancey, of Northfeld; Hawkins Bros.& John
son, of Minneapolis; E. w. Groyenor, of
Hastings and Dunha:n & Mclean, of Anoka,
get premiums ranging from $40 to $50.
A. q. Blodgett, Of Waukegsn, Wis, car
ried off the prizes for Clydesdale5.
Chas. Mo. O. Reeve, of Hennepin county;
]. II. Eddy, of Maple Grove, and l.. Fillery,
of Richfeld, got the premiums for Berkshire
swine.
The races closed very early in the after
noon and the grahd stand emptied itself, and
the thousands throDged the buildings, pat
ronized the Mermaid, the fat man, the man
of the iron jaw, and all the other shows,
and singular as it may seem, some of them
patronized the saloons and restaurants.
There was no accident, no rows, and but
few arrests for pocket picking. The police
regulations are very efficient, but much of
the credit for the good order which prevails
is due to the character of those present.
There may be rowdies present, bat they do
not come to the front.
Messrs. Hawkins and Howell, represent
ing the firms Of Auerbach, Finch, Culbert-
son & Co., and Beaupre, Allen & Keogh, con-
tinue to dispense princely hospitality to ell
the customers and friends of these two pop
ular houses, and their headquarters are
thronged from early morn to dewey eve.
The old veteran headquarters continue to
receive visitors, but the "old vets' are too
busy in looking around to spend time enough
to register their names. About 100 names
we're recorded up to last evening.
Miss Jewett is still improving and she ex-
poets to be able to witness the contest be-
tween Miss Cook and Miss Pinneo to-day.
Both the latter ladies were on the grounds
yesterday and are prepared for their great
effort to-day.
