Dakota County Fair.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
FARMINaToN, Sept. 24.-0he fair, although
not up to former years, is success. The weather
has been against the fair owing to the threat
ening indications of rain. which, with the cool
and disagreeable wind of Wednesday, kept a
large number away. The live stock exhibit
what there is is very fine. In trotting strains
L. 8. Follett, of Hastings, has his stallion
Janesville, by Milwaukee, etc., etc., first dam
Brunette, etc. etc.; j. Hopkins has his late
purchase Archer's Administrator, by Admins
traitor, dam equally we'll bred; A. Post, of
Faribault, places on exhibition, not for COM
patitiOn, as he resides out Of the county,
Goldsmith, by Wrobern, she by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, first dam, Silyertail, ETC., etc.
being half-brother in blood to Driver, Powers,
etc. He is certainly very promising horse,
and showed some fine bursts of speed In the
race yesterday, and will no doubt trot low down
as he natures. Mr.. Post also exhibits Hattie
Goldsmith, bred the same way. a very fine rak-
ish mare with plenty of game to stay. Both
of the above horses were bred by Alden Gold
smith, of Orange county, N. Y. Especial men
tion is made of the matched grays of Mr.. john
son, who has horse farm but few miles out
from Pennington. They are a fine, up.headed,
close-matched team, and with little handling
show that they are good ones. OF draft horses
we have L. s. Follett's. of Hastings, Souter
johnson, an imported Clyde and noted prize
winner in Scotland, as well as in this country,
he is par excellence,i as well as the mare
Maggie, imported with the horse and bred
the same. s. B. Spearin, of Pennington,
showed his imported Norman stallion Sensa-
ton, one of the few choice Normans in The
State. Fully, Murphy, Lawler. Cowley and
Others made a fine show, and of course Dakota
county feels proud of its progressive farmers,
who are doing SO much to improve their stock.
Ofshort horns O. 1. Haines leads the way with
fine herd. all recorded animals, with the
bull Bill King at the head, and as this bull
resembles his grand sire SO closely, will give
his pedigree. His sire is Marquis of lakewood,
Grand sire ID Duke of Hilhurst, dam of "Bill
King" Zinia, etc. This bull has not only fine
breeding but is line bull in all points that
go to make up 6rst-class bull and Mr.. Haines
is to be congratulated on the ownership of him,
Mr.. III. " also shows COWS, heifers and heifer
calves and three bulls; P. Martin also shows

largest exhibitor. and his exhibit was one of
the best ever made in the State.
