ITcchdRicdI Hall.


The hustle and noise attendant on fixing
up displays III the hall yesterday grated
harshly on the auricular appendages of
the spectators. The exhibits are of the
most
VARIED AND HETEROGENEOUS
character, but machinery is slightly repre-
sented.
The Pray Manufacturing company have
on exhibition on the lower floor double
circular or rotary sawmill; the Pye CEN
trifugal reel, new invention shown for
the first time and used in boiling -four and
also the Livingston roller mill.
Adjoining this is an exhibit by the Con-
tinental Oil and Transportation company
of kerosenes, napthas, and lubricants.
On the other side OF tbs hall is a fine
exhibit of wood and iron fences by the
Minneapolis Fence works, a large
display of colored leads and liq
uid 0paints - by Skinner and
Sly and a large assortment of scales of
various styles aud sizes by the Buffalo
Scale company, represented by Miller
Bros, Minneapolis. Dale, Barnes, Morse
g. Co. have an elegant assortment of dra-
peries and fine laces on exhibition, and
Plant u Peterson OF carpets, rugs and up
holstery.
Beenan & Myers exhibit wall papers of
varied hues and also ceiling decorations
which attract much attention. W. D.
Goodhue exhibits drapery and window
shades. The cereal displays in the center
of the hall are the cynosure of all behold
ers. The land department of the Mime
apolis & Manitoba Railway company, have
a fine display of samples of wheat, oats
barley, rye and different kinds of veget-
ables raised in Polk, Meeker, Kittson and
other counties through which it traverses.
A specimen of Surprise" wheat from
Meeker county; of ''Fife," from the Don
aldson & Ryan farm, Kennedy, Kittsor
county, raised on a 5000 acre field, and
another from Childs & Co.'s Riverside
farm, Polk county, sown on April 20 and
cut on Aug. Is, give undoubted evidence of
the agricultural productions of these coun-
ties. Besides these are specimens of "Blue
Stem and White Riverside" wheat, from
Stevens county; of Champlin No. hard,
from Marshall county; Crookston oats, six
acre; winter rye from Swift & Cheyalier;
barley from Marshall, the last mentioned
Welding forty-five bushels to the acre, ,being
planted on the Goth of May and reaped on
the 2Oth of August. The Bismarck exhibits
of cereals are magnificent, as are also the
Mandan specimens of wheat, vegetables,
tomatoes, squashes, potatoes, beans, etc
The latter exhibits were not selected, but
were promiscuously taken from the fields
of homestead settlers. They bespeak vel

SOCIAL CAMP FIRES.

Presidential Party and There is No Talk
Back-HelI's Acre and the Gen. Sheridan
Geyser Visited-"OId Faithful" Lann-
dries the Solid Garments ofthe Command
and Tears their Silks and WooIens.
CAMP UPPER GEYsER BASIN, WYOMING,
Aug. %; via Living ston, Mt, Aug. &c.
Our camp remains to-day amongst The
pine trees of the second mesa, above Fire
Hole river. 1t is nearly at the head of the
Upper Geyser bason, and within sight and
hearing of Old Faithful geyser. A later
breakfast was the reward of yesterdays
long march over a dusty trail and through
burned and fallen timber. To-day the
examination of the wonders here began at
an hour considerably later than the one
usual for our daily start on the march.
Before the o'clock luncheon the presi-
dent and most of the members of the par
ty on horseback explored nearly all of
this basin. They were rewarded by being
present at the grand geyser at the time
of one of its great eruptions, the three
giants being simultaneously in action.
The crater of granduer is about thirty
feet in diameter and the height of the
elected column of water is nearly 800 feet.
To-day there were eight eruptions, the
time of the whole being forty-two min
utes.
This afternoon the president, secretary
of war, General Sheridan and several 9th
ers of the party went to Hell's Half Acre,
about a mile below here, to visit the
famous Sheridan geyser, which became at
tractive only three years ago. 1t was de.
scribed by Prof. Heale as a hot spring
in which butterflies, grasshoppers and in
animate objects were rapidly encrusted
with deposits of silica. The spring be-
came an active geyser the summer of Gen
eraI Sheridan's first visit to the park and
was named in his honor.
Old Faithful to-day has been the laun-
dress of the command. Articles of cloth
ing thrown into her crater when returned
in her ftful humor was washed perfectly
clean. It Is advised, however, that fabric
of silk or woolen be not given to her to
wash, as they are usually torn into shreds
or not washed at all.
The president and all of the party are
we'll and enjoy perhaps as much as any
thing else the evening gatherings around
the social campfire.

1t is impossible for the GLOBE to give a
comprehensive review of the stock on ex-
hibition this year in one day. The great
est breeders of the country are here with
large herds selected for the especial pur-
pose, and they are unit in the statement
that the show far exceeds anything which
they ever attended in this country especial
ly as regards imported stock. The stalls are
all filled, and large crew of carpenters
were engaged all day in erecting new
stalls. The magnitude of the display is a
wonder to everybody.

The Sports.

At 2 O'Clock the grand stand was we'll
filed with exuberant children, about 5000
probably as supremely happy as a crowd
of little ones could possibly be. They
choered and shouted in JOY at the pros
poets of the fun promised them by the
management, and they were not disapoint-
ed. Every feature of the programme
brought OUT the most enthusiastic cheera.
The most amusing, for old as we'll as young
was the boys foot race.
