MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
The Exhibition this Year at Ovation
ma Credit TO the safe and Well
Patronized by the People. I'D
The state fair opened at osSatonna on
Monday Of last week, but, as usr1l, most of
the day was occupied in preparations for
what was to come. The entries were large and
gave assurance that the exhibition would
be worthy of public support. 7@*
Tuesday-called governors day-there
was an attendance of 5000 people. Five
long tables had teen spread and bountifully
filled with the good things of life, conspic-
uous among which was the barbecued OK
presented by A. II. Bulls, one of the lead
ing cattle breeders of the state. at the
head of the long tables was placed slight
~ raised platform and short table at which
was seated Gov. Hubbard, Col. Clark W.
Thompson. president of the society, ex.Sen-
ator M. S. Wilkinson, ex-Rep, esentatiye
Mark H. Dunnell, and several others.
At the conclusion of the banquet, Pres
ident Thompson arose aud in few words
Introduced Gov. Hubbard, who was re-
ceived with applause. Alter thanking the
ssembage -or the cordial greeting ex-
tended him, the governor proceeded at some
length to speak of the benefits to the state
of such exhibitions as he had witnessed on
the grounds.
There were the tangible, visible and solid
evidences Of the progress made by Mime
sofa in every branch of Industry. It had
been charged thai we were boastful and ex-
trsvagant in our language in regard to our
products and capabilities, but he denied
the soft impeachment, and in refutation of
the same pointed to the beautifully spread
tables and the splendid exhibit made of all
kinds o. products. At the conclusion of
the governors remarks ex-senator Wilkin-
son was introduced and made an earnest,
eloquent speech laudatory OF the farmer
and agricultural interests.
Species were made by various other
gentlemen. The horse show attracted great
attention, and If the managers of the State
fair had not been able to secure any other
attraction beyond the cattle show thew
certainly would have no reason to com.
plain OF the exhibition. The display of
Shorthorns, Devons, Holsteins, Hereford's,
Jerseys, Polled Angus, ETC., is something
for the society to be proud of, and proves
that the great Northwest is not whit be-
hind its Eastern nelghbors in the matte. of
fine stock raising.
Col. R. P, McGlincy of Elgin, ILL.,, secre-
of the dairy board of trade of that city and
also of the Northwestern Dairymea's asso-
citation, attended the fair, and speaks in
complimentary terms of the cattle exhibits.
The races, of course attracted the crowd ia
the afternoon but do not REQUIRE special
mention.
Wednesday had been set apart as Fari.
bault Day, al the people of that city, to
the number Of fully 1000, arrived by special
train at an early hour, and were soon
ular train brought hundreds OF visitors, and
by p. m. fully II, 900 people were on the
grounds. During the morning there was
quite an addition to the stock, machinery
and agricultural exhibit, and every
department was fully represented.
Everything passed off without single ac-
cident or disturbance, and a better natured
better behaved, and it may be added, bet
ter pleased crowd of 1900 people probab-
ly never met together in Minnesota Or any
other state than that assembled upon the
fair grounds. The line of stabling for cat
tie, horses. sheep, hogs, etc., extended Ell
tire!y around the grounds, from the north
to the south side Ut the race course. For q
part of the distance the line Of stalls was
double The arrangements for exhibiting
the stock was very convenient, both tor ex.
hibitors and visitors. About midway of
the grounds was located the machinery ex-
hibit. which was quite extensive.
Ehe main hall or.expo:ition building was
situated in the center of the grounds. It
was two stories high, and its size is u
by 40 feet. Just below the exposition
builuing was the grand stand or anlphithe-
alter, 500 feet long, with q seating capacity
ot3,OO0. The display of blooded cattle was
the largest collection Of valuable animals
ever seen in Minnesota, and the same may
be said of horses. The display OF sheep and
hogs was fair. It was very enjoyable day
to visitors and all went away satisfied and
in good hunor.
Thursday was another gala day, aud 49,
900 visitors were present, including dis.
tinguished people from all parts Of the
state with sprin king from Wisconsin and
Iowa. Notwithstanding the immense crowC
and the excitement incident to such an oc.
casion there was not a single drunken mar
in the crowd and not single case of peck
ct picking or crookedness.
Some Of the exhibitors and friends of the
secretary, MIR. R. c. Judson, took this occa-
sion to express their appreciation Of the
kindness and courtesy he had shown them,
by presenting him with magnificent set g,
silverware costing $3.50.
A set of solid silver knives and forks was
=
tendent of machinery department, Tor his
constant attention to their wants.
Friday was gloomy overhead andthe at
tendance was not so large as on previous
days. The judges in the different divisions
were hard at rk and completed their Ia
bors. Financially the fair was success,
and kas demonstrated that Owstonna is
good point at whicb to hold the state fair.
Its citizens have labored faithfully and
we'll, at great personal sacrifice and ex-
pense, to make the twenty-tiith annual ex-
hib;tion credita bic to the state, against un-
told circumstances, over which they could
have no control.
Twice were he buildings and sheds de-
stroye or injured by the elements, yet they
succeeded in making all the necessary pro-
visions Tor the largest and best exhibit
ever given in the state. Another year. I'M
der more prop iticus circumstances and the
added knowledge OF what is necessary for
the convenience Of SO important display,
there is every reason to believe that the
twenty sixth annual fair will be still more
pr, sident, and Mr.. Judson, the secretary OF
the society, are entitled to much credit, and
are very popular with exhibitors.
