There is an end to all things, saith the
preacher, and even SO great an occasion as
the Minneapolis fair has had to bow TO this
inevitable decree. Yesterday was its closing
day, and Notwithstanding the disagreeabls
state of the weather during the early part of
the day on account of cold raw wind blow
iRg almost gale, the attendance was very
fair for the last day. although not up to the
expectations of the managers. The famous
flyer, st. Julien, had been Oh the grounds all
the week, but his public exhibition Of speed
was reserved for the last day in order to hold
and draw the crowd. There was some natur-
al curiosity to sse this famous trotter, yet a
race against time by single animal mo mat
ter how fast he might be, is a contest in
which but few outside of horsemen take any
particular interest. This truth was demon
strated yesterday In the comparatively light
attendance.
OuHuS tu0 LoIouoOU JropdldstVuS
began to be made for the re-
nnovaI of the articles on exhi-
bition, yet tour through the buildings at
noon showed but little change in the general
appearance. The work of demolition did
not commence until afternoon, when it went
forward with astonishing rapidity, and by
nightfall large proportion of the more val
liable articles mad been removed.
BurIpo tho fornpnnr1 rupohar of tha
prize animals were paraded in front of the
grand stand, but the attendance was 30 light
that no attempt at general display was
made.
Up to yesterday the officers of the assooi-
alton had been engaged in the pleasing duty
of taking in the money from various sources,
but then the tide turned and it became their
duty to pay out portion of it at least in
paying premiums, purses, etc., ETC., and a
small army of clerks ware at work in making
out the premium lists. The latter were not
completed until yesterday afternoon. As a
general thing the decision of the judges was
accepted as correct, but as usual in all such
cases there was some grumbling and kick
ing.
Notwithstanding the large average attend
ance during the week the owners of stalls,
booths, ETC., generally report a far lighter
business than they expected. This is partly
due to the cold weather, which was not cal
culated to induce thirst to any alarming ex-
tent.
During the forenoon Miss Cook, the win
ner of the famous twenty mile race, was on
the grounds, looking as bright and lively as
though she had never rode in a race in her
life. Miss Pinneo did not make her appear
aaCe, but it was reported that she did not
suffer any Ill effect from her perilous ride.
The first trains after noon brought slight
addition to the crowd, and when the races
were called at 1:30 P. H., one section of the
grand stand was fairly filed, and fair au-
dience lined the fences and other points of
observation. In point of numbers, however,
yesterday was the lightest of the entire week
The Races.
The hour for starting the closing races of
the exposition, St. Julien's trial to beat his
own time, and trotting in tie 2:19 class,
found the sky overcast and threatening rain,
with strong, cold wind blowing from the
north, rendering everything disagreeable and
promising slow time, so that when the horses
were rung up for the race, the 2:19 class, not
more than Thousand people occupied the
grand stand, and about half that number
were looking from carriages and other
advantageous positions along the track en-
closure.
rwo-NINETEEN GLASS.
The programme announcement of this
race named as the entries the br. stallion
Hannis, the b. s. Monroe Chief. the b. s.
Hambletonian Bashaw. the b. s. Bonesetter,
and br. 8. Voltaire, quintette capable of
furnishing race worth travelling many
miles to see. When the horses were called
for the start, however, only Bonesetter and
Voltaire responded, largely destroying all
interest in the race. The following is the
summary:
First Heat-The heat was without interest,
the two trotting on even terms until entering
the third quarter, when yoltaire left his feet
and did not settle until the home.
As Mace had, however, accommodated the pace
to suit Voltaire, the two came home close to-
gether, Bonesetter wining in the extraOrdiary
time for the horses of 2:30.
Second Heat-This repetition of the
Grst except that Volsaire kept his feet all the
way around. Time 1854.
Third Heat-Thls heat WAS like the other two
Bonesetter taking the lead at the start with
VoItaire on his wheel for nearly the whole dis
tance. Time 2:22%.

nounced that Miss Jswetr, whnss unfortun-
ate accident III the wents mile race ON Tues
day had excited gsnoral sympathy, would
drive in front of the grand stand. The an
nouncement was received with enthusiastic
demonstrations of applause, and in few
minutes later the little lady appeared in a
double seated open carriage drawn by pair
of roam horses, seated by the side of her
father on the back seat; the applause was
most hearty. The carriage was driven by
the grand stand and then turned and driven
back. the applause on the return being more
enthusiastic than on her first appearance.
The carriage Was then r Ven within the In
Side encloeue and Mi-- Jewett was escorted
to the jndsr',' stand, wnere she remained
ome twenty minutes, and where she receiv-
ed many and hearty congratulations for her
fortunate escape from severe injury in the
race of Tuesday, and well wishes for her fu-

ST. JULIEN, KING OF THE TURF.
The attraction for the day was the an
nouncement that ST. Julien, the king of the
turf, would endeavor to beat his own unri-
vailed time of 2:11 d, for purse of $1,000.
The horse made his fest appearance on the
