Make Big Display-A Magnificent Pro-
gramme-The Racing Features.
An hour was spent by a GLOBE man in
the Office of the secretary of the Fair asso;
citation, yesterday, with profit. Every
thing was found in g hustle and hurry,
incident to the closing preparations for
throwing open the gates tomorrow morn
ing. Indeed, everyone connected with
the Office was so full of
business that it was under difficulties that
data for comprehensive ''write up" could
be obtained by the pencil pusher.
THE EXHIBITS.
The past few days at the grounds have
been spent in arranging exhibits, and the
halls are g marvel. The decorations far
excel those of former years-the latter
generally the work of patriotic ladies, who
realize the benefits which Minneap polls de-
rives from these annual events.
In the Office was found evidences Of an
enthusiastic determination by our leading
business men-merchants in all branches
to make this the leading event IN the
history of our city. And we'll they might.
The fair, being managed by responsible
gentlemen has gained the entire confidence
of the people who place upon exhibition
wares, horses and cattle, in fact those
| things, animate or inenimate, which con-
stitute genuine agricultural and industrial
| expositions, and they are coming from all
over the land. The old agricultural hall
has been turned into stock
! barn and il is literally
! filed with the finest bIooded horses and
cattle in the land. There have already
| been entries made sufficient to occupy 1000
| stalls-or far in excess Of any previous ex-
| hibition in the state.
| The display OF agricultural implements
and machinery VIII be a wonder in itself.
The track programmes which are given
below for each day are brilliant features.
Tomorrow will be free children's day,
and every mother should take her little
prepared for their especial entertainment
by the association.
The track programme will include
pony races, newsboys' races, a free for all
mule race. amateur bicycle races. ETC., and
other features, calculated especially to de-
light the little ones.
| MILITARY TURNOUT.
The grand military turnout on Tuesday
must prove an interesting feature, and
will give the people an opportunity of
seeing to what degree of proficiency our
respective companies have attained, and it
will be participated in by the entire
regiment, Minnesota National Guards,
It will doubtless be of public interest and
particular mention is therefore made.
The companies will be called at 1870
, o'clock on Tuesday morning and the tourn

The time allotted to each company is forty

time, the next company will be promptly
