| FARnINGToN, Sept 21.-If any one Aa.'
any doubt about the Dakota county fan
held at this place being success as tar a.
an exhibit is concerned, he will be readily
convinced by dropping down to the
grounds to-day, for such an exhibit won Id
| be hard to find anywhere.
70 commence with, the grounds are To-
Gated just one mile northeast of the vii
lage and are nicely fitted up and arranged
for holding asnual fairs. The track is a
half mile and is well made and at pres
ent is in fine order. The officers this wear
are as follows: President, A. s. Brad
ford, ce-presidssnts, D. F. Akin, G. J.
Haynes, Dan Fischer, ~. L. Knowles. C.
Z. Gribis, S. G. Esadley; treasurer, z L.
Bracket; secretary Wm.. harrington. ALI
Of the officers are members and not only
feed an interest in the fair but in the i'm
prcvement of our stock, grains, vegetables.
buttsr, cheese, etc.
I gave you bries description. of the
the number has increased SO that every
stall Is full. In cattle, besides the
noted herds, of DeGraff. and G. J. HAYNES
mentioned in my last we have Jerseys.
Ho lseteins and grade cattle, quite show
ing indeed. OF sheep every pen was filed
early in the day and others made and those
are I'LL. OF The exhibitors, S. G. Hadley
has several pens of Oxfordshire,- R.. c.
Huds. On has Shropshire and Southdowns
and g otswolds. E. Rice has Southdowns
and q ,rade sheep produced by crossing
the pa re Oxfordshire and Southdown to-
gether, S. P. Smith one pen of grade
sheep. D. L. Balch, two pens of Meinoes.
D. f. Al in one pen of Southdowns. J.
Fowler, one pen of high
grade sheep. Thus making
as fine an exhibits of sheep as has ever
been made at a fair. It was expected that
E. Barrstt would exhibit his Mambrino
sheep.
The swln,3 have not as yet looked over
but undexsts nd that it will compare favor
ably with any exhibit of the county here
tofore.. The dairy exhibit is also very
fine. and among tbs lot are some very
credstable exhibits. G. E. Marvin, Presi-
dent Of the Minnesota Butter and Cream
association who has charge of the large
creamerles at ROches ser- has a fine exhibit
of cheese.
Also III this department. we, find Col.
Chas.. Hamersley, of Gsneva Lake, Wiscon-
sin, has upon exhibition his peerless butter
hot IL.
among the chemical butter colozs in the
United States. In the floral department
the'exhi5it is just simply immense. Moth.
ing like the display of geranium foliage.
Plants, and in fact all thafine plants grown
anywhere as is seen here will mention
this, diaplaF more fully as soon as can
get the secretary's boeks to- look over.
Suffice to say, if the people.
knew what the display in
in the mann building was, the building
would not begin to hold the people as
large asst is. The fruit display is fine,
and in fact all the .depaatments except
agricultural machinery which is unusually
light.
The RACES will announce in my next
and also some of the other departments,
The GLOBE is commended for its liberality
in having. reporter on fairgrounds.
Among the arrivals from abroad
are Cob Adams, of Hastings,
cadidate, for congress. L. r. Hudldeston,
J. B. Strait, Shakopee, j. B5rnes, Hastings,
and large number from different points
Porter Martin, of this pace, who lately
received the nomination on the Greenback
ticket for congress in this, district, is a
daily visitor as well as exhibitor. Hope
Porter will mount the rostrum soon, as he
will make the canvass interesting.
