The Board of Directors of the Northeastern
Industrial association Decides to Hold
A,sOtIser Exposition the First Week of
Neat Septenber-I Card from Secretary
| Clarke.
| Yesterday the board of directors of the
Northwestern Industrial association held
meeting at the fair grounds and resolved
to hold another fair during the first week
of next September.
In regard to the recent fair, Secretary
Clarke gives the GLOBE readers the follow
ing card:
| CARD
When 1t was announced a few months
ago that new association would mold a
fair this fall, and when the premium lists
and catalogue were printed and sent out,
certain departments heretofore embraced
in our exposition were omitted, as for in
stance, the entire mechanical aud art de-
partments; and effort was made BY the
management toward a grand collection Of
stock and such floral and productive dis
plays as the early fair season and late
harvest would warrant. That our efforts
in this direction were successful no 1ne
has yet failed 20 acknowledge, AS in the
history of all American fairs there hos neu-
er been Such u St3cA; esrhi6it heretofore on
the continent.
In our efforts toward this accom- plish-
ment We have been NIT with a generous
| support from the Minneapolis press, and
| also the press throughout the northwest,
with the single

to pay the Pioneer Press, as We have con

that paper. Notwithstanding the ''busi

itself upon, their Minneapolis business
man appeared at my Office with list of

personally met the gentleman, and assured
him that my instructions only warranted
me in granting passes to the reportorial
staff of his paper, that beyond
that, he would be obliged to go to
the board; that we would meet their
business" attitude with similar one.
want to explain this to the public, simply
as al answer to the mean and malicious
fling at the management and myself in
this mornings issue Of the Pioneer Press.
In an editorial of which it is especially said
of ne that l had the unfortunate faculty of
''antagonizing great many people who
came in contact with me, particularly the
newspaper fraternity" it Is due me that
the public should understand the animus
of that paper,
THAT IT Is NOT A MINNEAPOLIS PAPER,
and that it is pretty near time the bust

Paul business" concern, and gave their
patronage to Minneapolis newspapers,
which will, when Minneapolis interest is
at stake, at least give it the same attention

BEATS,
who constantly cross the path of a fair
secretary, clamoring for free passes; but
as to my merits otherwise, so far as the
treatment of the papers is concerned,
am willing to leave that to the entire press,
outside of the single st. Paul paper,
which, although enjoying our patronage
to the amount of several hundred dollars,
are limited in their acrimony only to the
extent of their failure to
DICTATE OUR BUSINESS AND BLEED US.
The public have expressed their approba
ton of the attractions of each day, and
the manner in which the programme has
been carried out, without clap-trap or
humbug, and in the assurance we have of
the satisfaction of our patrons, which is
all we expect and all we seek. we find our
reward. That we have suffered largely at
the hands of our own citizens, in their de-
votion the past week to the proposed dem
onstration on Monday, in honor of the
NortheIn Pacific opening, no one will
deny, but of course this was matter be-
yond our anticipation or control. Respect
fully, CHAs. II. CLARKE, Secretary.
