national championship, g., 900 side and
$4,000 added money by the association.
The last card on tho programme for
the day and the meeting, IS a handicap
running race for all ages, for which q
large field of horses has been named.
| A better programme than the above it
would be hard to imagine. They call for
an expenditure on the part of the associ-
alton of upwards of $35, 900, large pro-
portion of which could be avoided while
strictly conforming to the rules, if de-
sired, but Col. King having
announced them as part
of his attractions, is determined
to give them if it is possible to do 80. A
few hours of bright sun and drying wind
will put the track in good shape. The
horses are on the grounds and ready to
play the parts for which they have been
assigned. The two cities are overfowing
with people come here to see the sport
and the other fair attractions. The diff
ferent railroad companies have decided
to continue to sell tickets at reduced
rates for the balance of the week, good
for return until Tuesday night
next, so that with ia
vOrable weather, 1t Is reasonable to
expect large attendance on each re-
naming day, and that Notwithstanding
the discouragements SO far encountered,
the exposition may yet prove success.
The people of Minneapolis and st. Paul
alone, can make the balance of the week
success, so far as attendance is con-
cerned, if they will, and that it is to their
interest to do so their can be no doubt.
The exposition is grand
advertisement of the two cities and the
State, and lack of interest in its success
on their part would be suicidal In view
of this, and the fact of the loss sustained
by the management by the three days of
bad weather, 1. is suggested that hand
some thing to do by the business men
generally of the two cities would be to
close their places of business Saturday
afternoon, to give an opportunity to them
selves and employees to attend the exposi-
ton that afternoon
Fair Notes.
The water fall in the main hall yester-
day was running in all its primitive
glory and formed an attrac-
ton which received the un-
qualified admiration of all present.
Jones' sea lion continued to roar and
bark and devour pieces of fish to the
amusement Of the spectators.
The whale exhibition drew everybody.
The dining halls did not ply very
prosperous business, yet with two good
days they expect to more than pay ex-
penses.

lady baloonlst, will make an ascension

gymnastics upon the trapeze, suspended,
in line OF his car, to the Flying Cloud ssin
mid air.

THE BALD EAGLE REFUSED.
AS was announced last week Mr.. CD.C.
Williams, of Fargo, sent down tame bald
eagle, which was to be placed in the Far
60 exhibit in Agricultural hall. Much to
the surprise and disappointment of Mr..
Williams, the parties having this exhibit
in charge refused the American emblem
and had it shipped back to Fargo yester-
day. The eagle was returned to Col.
King, accompanied by the following let
ter:
Col. King: l sent my tame bald
eagle to Fargo exhibit, at request. It
has been refused. Have him taken up
in the air-ship and turned loose in mid
air in Ohio or New York state.
Yours &C., G. D. G. WILLIAMS.
AT the present writing the above prop
osition had not been submitted to the de-
cision OF Prof. King, the aronaut. But
1t is proboble that, inasmuch as the air.
ship has already engaged to take six men
on the voyage, and that being all that
the professor thinks practicable to carry,
the project will not be received.
q" THE EXHIBITS
Yesterday the many exhibits in the
buildings at-the fair grounds were much
better arranged for attractive dis
plays, and with good weather
to-day many thousand dollars worth of
mercantile goods. that were originally
intended to be placed upon exhibition,
but were withheld owing to the incessant
rain OF the first two days and the threat
ening weather of yesterday, will be taken
to the grounds, and the exhibition will
be complete and grand success.
