| THE HALL.
| On entering the hall beautiful lake IN
miniature greeted the eye with surround
ings of lawn and shade, suggestive of
summer resort. Back of this was tenn
pie of agriculture beautifully decorated
with cereal in sheaf and woven garlands
pillared and circled with a show of vegeta-
bles which were most tempting in appear
ance, to say nothing of a magnificent ex-
hibit of grapes and apples in close prox-
unity, as also fine display of flour, corn,
seeds, etc. One wing of the
building was mainly devoted
to works of art, hung with paintings
and pictures, Photographic collections
coin and medal cases, and taxidermized
bird, beast and fowl. There were also good
exhibits made in ladies' needle work, dry
goods, millinery, carpets, cloakings, furs,
sewing machines, boots and shoes, har.
ness, musical instruments, canned fruits,
etc.
i There was particularly good show
made of utensils by the Minnesota Stone
ware company, who had a potter's wheel
and block in the building with a crafts

wholesale hardware, and Charles Betcher
of soft and hard wood paneling, blinds,
doors, wagon wheels, etc., while the Red
Wing Printing company had small house
clap boarded with the Minnesota and 9TH

specimens of their handiwork at book
binding.

colt of his sire, of Bell Creek; John
ID. Germans ten-year- old Clysdale
stallion Sir Walter Scott, with
colts, also of Bell Greek, and
beautiful four-year- black French Nor
gan colt, owned by Mr.. Perkins.
The exhibition of Jersey stock was very
commendable, while of sheep there were
several fine pens of Cotswolds, and but
single entry of swine, that being a litter of
plump-looking Berkshire pigs.
ADJUSTMENTS.
A side show tent at ten cents admittance
and negro with his head stuck through
hole in dry goods box, allowing his caput
to be pounded by base balls at the same
moderate price for three pelts, did small
business, but nothing compared with full
half dozen institutions of gambling device,
whereat county idiots were throwing away
their money with the reckless abandon
coming of being too smart, and the propri
etors were consequently doing a land-ofice
business.
