make glad the hearts of the state fair man
agement, and the many thousands of spec
tators present during the day, the advance |
guard of which is already pouring into the
grounds in almost a continuous string,
while kilograms just received from Super
intendent Sanborn, of the Winona & st.
Peter railroad, states that the regular
trains, both from the east and the
eest, are crowded to their
utmost capacity, while q special is coming
with six passenger coaches from Winona, six
from st. Charles, and three from Dover
Center, all crowded. u
Gen. Jas. A. Baker, Chairman Of the
state fair reception committee for the
entertainment of the governor and other
state officials, and visiting officials from
adjoining states, arrived last evening and
is busy perfecting arrangements for the
great event. As the guests arrive,
the party arriving on different
trains and at different hours
they viii be met by Gen. Baker with car
riages at the depot, and driven to the Cook
house, where they will be formally received
by the city reception committee, whose
guests they viii be until Thursday morn
ing, IN an informal way.
In the evening, in honor of the distinguish
edvisitors, there will be grand torch light
procession, participated in by many of the
civic societies of the city and citi-
Zens generally, with three full
bands-the two city bands and
the Owatonna band-to furnish the music.
All public buildings and the great majority
of business places and many private resi-
dences are being decorated for the occa-
sion, and this evening will be brilliantly
illuminated. Tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock the visitors, escorted by the two
reception committees, will visit the fair
grounds in body. Arriving at the
grounds they will be escorted to the
amphitheatre, which will be kept
clear until the guests are seated-after
which the general populace will be admitted
Then will occur, without doubt, the largest
and finest cavalcade of blooded stock ever
seen in the Northwest, embracing horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. The cavalcade
will countermarch in front of the grand
stand, and as they arrive in front Of the
governor and party, M. T. Grattan, the
gentlemanly and efficient starting judge
in the races, will announce
the breeder of the stock, the particular
strain, ETC., sufficient to give the audience
an idea of the merits of each.
At one o'clock the grand reception and
banquet viii take place at the pavilion
especially constructed for the occasion, 40
by 100, and located little northwest of
The amphitheatre The first thing in order
Will be t. barbecue feast, for which, as
has before stated IA, three-year-old short
horn, weig hing 1900 lbs from the famous
stock farm of g. A. De Graf, GAINESVILLE,
Mimi, is to be roasted whole. The noble
animal has been slaughtered already, and
is now being bound, preparatory to being
deposited in the heated pit at ~
midnight. The preparation of this
OK is being superintendent by Mr.. c. n.
Gosgroye, Of OwatOnna-Who viii also pre-
side at the carving-a famous caterer
formerly of Kentucky, but now of Owa-
tonna. A novel feature in this entertain
ment win be lane of prize winning short
horns, ranged ON either side of the main
entrance to the dining pavilion, through
which the guests will march to their seats.
In the afternoon an extra fine racing pro-
gramme will be arranged, and in the even
ing, it is probable formal reception will
be extended tho governor and party at one
of the public halls III the city, though this
has not been definitely arranged for as yet

inf ha -

excitement he thrust native
through with the bayonet and then picked
him up bodily and carried him away, much
to the astonishment and terror of the ma
tlves. The major Is known among the
natives as Bo-do, and his startling way OF
vindicating Eugllsh nonor and illustrating
British pluck, caused MIN to be greatly
feared as well as respected. The gun is
highly prizei aud tbs is the first time ii
was ever placed Oh exhibition.
THE DAIRY DEPARTMENT..
The judges appointed to pass inspection
upon the DAIRY products are John Addy.
of Darlington, WIS.,, who was one of the
Judges of butter at the Centennial exhibi-
lion at Philadelphia in 1876; R. p. Nc
Glincy, secretary of the Elgin, Illinois
dairy board of trade, and j. M. Potter, q
butter and cheese dealer of New York city.
These gentlemen Inay be considered ex-
perts,and from the careful manner in which
they are going through the work assigned
to them, we feel quite certain that
Minnesota will obtain an excellent
record as butter state which
Will prove highly beneficial.
THE DREAM GATHERING SYSTEM
With desire to obtain such inforlna alton
as would be beneficial to the farmer read
ers of the GLoBE, your reporter, who, by
the way, is becoming pretty familiar with
the dairy business, concluded to interview
a gentleman on thus new system of dairy
ing, and learned that it was quite different
from that followed at Elgin, H., the dairy
center of the Northwest. For instance, at
