OwAToNNA, Aug. 6.-During the night
the wind shifted from north to south, and
the early morning risers were surprised to
see dark and pertentous clouds scurrying
across the armament. These first clouds
and storm indications passed over swiftly,
only to be repeated at intervals of about
an hour during the forenoon. The threat
ening weather, however, had no apparent
effect in keeping visitors from abroad away
from the great fair, in all respects the best
and most successful state fair yet held in
Minnesota. By day break farmers
teams bearing their owners and their
families began to pour into the city, and
by 7:30 a. m. there was steady and con-
tinuous procession of these vehicles wend-
ing their way to the fair grounds. At the
same time the early trains from the four
points of the compass as traversed by the
c., M. Sc st. P. and G. & N. W. roads, ar
irving about 8 a. N. came in with from
fsur to eight coaches crowded with visitors
which were followed with other trains be-
tween 1870 and 11:30, all crowded and
bound in the same direction. AS early as
9 o'clock there were at least 5000 people
on the ground, which number had been
swelled to 10000 or 10000 at II Am.
LA CROSSE DELEGATION.
At II o'clock special train arrived
from La Crosse, Wis, hearing Mayor
Law and other members of the board of
trade and other leading business men of
that city and delegation from La
Crescent, Rushford, Hokah, Hous-
ton, Lsnesbero, Preston and ether points
in southern Minnesota in all number.

accompanied by the La Crosse and

riages, through the principal streets of the
city out to the fair grounds.
EoRsE PARADE. Q
At II o'clock the horses on exhibition
draft, carriage, thoroughbred, trotters and
general purpose horses-to the number of
between 300 and 400, were paraded
and after being arranged IN order
we're started in procession around the
course, the idea being to announce the
owners of exhibits, number and breeding
of the same, as they passed by the grand
stand after making the circuit of the
track. In the meantime, however, the sky
had been overcast with dark clouds. from
which were emitted lightning flashes fell
lowed by heavy thunder, soon followed by
pattering rain, and the cavalcade was dis
missed, while the spectators not in the
grand stand hurriedly sought shelter. The
storm passed to the south of the fair
ground, but it spoiled the parade. Below,
however, we give a list of the different ex-
| hibitors, with the number and breeding of
stock shown.
