speech by President B. B. Herbert, who
Yves panied to announce that Senator Sa-

letter from that gentleman:
| LETTER FROM SENATOR sAB1N.
B. B. Herbert, Esq. president, st. Paul
Mimi, My dear sir; A telegram announc
ing at an earlier day than expected the
departure of some business acquaintance
in New York for Europe, with whom
have some unsettled transactions, compels
m, departure for the east q week earlier
than anticipated, and consequently I'M
expectedly deprives me of the honor and
pleasure of attendance at your fair on the
18th inst I cannot tell you how much I
regret this unexpected turn in affairs, and
trust you will convey to the friends who
| have SO generously manifested an interest
in my presence on Wednesday next, my
sincere regards, and convey to them my
hearty thanks for the courtesies manifest
ed, likewise promise that should I be
favored with a similar opportunity at
your next fair. 1 certainly will make all
business and other engagements subserv-
ant to this one object. Trusting your
association may meet with the success
which your enterprise and energy deserve,
I am very respectfully yours,
D. NJ. SAB1N.
GOV. HUBBARD ABSENT.
President Herbert farther announced
that the Red Wing society had, on the sup
position that Gov. Hubbard exclusively
belonged to them on that day, advertised
that they should have him present and
speak, but that he having made prior en-
gagements at Preston, was much to his re-
gre. obliged to be there to-day instead of
at his old home where he was honored and
respected by every citizen. Therefore, in
his stead he called up
GEN. JENNIsoN,
who said he too had been advertised by this
industrial society at his horne without any
personal understanding on his part that
he was to speak, but he supposed they had
acted on the Scripture text "that the poor
(speakers) ye always have with YOU" He
70
mechanics, and said that it would take him
but very few moments to tell what he
knew about farming, while there would be no
other exercises that day if he should under
take to tell what he did not knosU about it.
He was interested in the rapid progress
farmers were making in this state, and
proceeded to say that fifteen
years ago he went to Plain
view to make political speech and called
for some milk to put in his tea at supper
and not enough could be found in that
town that night to discolor one politicians
cup of Bohea. This was in the center of
then great wheat producing country, but
no attention was paid to grazing, and
COW had to travel so far to get her feed
that she could not get home every night,
and consequently they MIXED but three
times week, and the occasion of his visit
happened to be non-milking day the peo-
pie were all outA of the laeteal. Yet
two weeks ago he attended fair at Roch-
ester, but few miles from Plainview, and
saw an exhibition of butter there which
the secretary of the Northwestern Dairy
mems association, of Illinois, who was
present, said would out-rival Illinois in
getting prizes for that article, although
Illinois had out-rivaled the famous Dntch-
ess county in New York state in that par
tecular, and the United States. This
change had been wrought by the brain
work and industry of Minnesota
farmers in that section, in
the short time of fifteen
years who had crept out of growing the
single crop of wheat alone into more
prosperous tilling of the earth, and ex-
changed the stupid one crop business for
a variety which made them more prosper
GUS and their homes happier.
The speaker also dwelt with pride upon
the fact that by contribution of 5000 by
the state and 5000 by the Horticultul So
ciety, Minnesota had taken the first pre-
MUM for apples in the United States and
cited it as also proof of the
rapid agricultural advancement
OF its farmer citizenship. |
he was aware that the boys in blue hated
an Internal long speech on such an occa-
sion as this and knowing that he would |
gain more applause by calling it short |
right there dropped into his seat amid
much applause.
He was followed by o. M. Hall, Esq l., of |
Red Wing, also necessarily absent, who |
extended the guests neat welcome on the |
part of the city. government, gave then |
the freedom of the city and the fair
grounds and buildings and gracefully
thanked both soldiers, firemen and citizens |
for their attendance.
MAYOR MAGINNIs' REGRETS.
At this point President Herbert read a |
letter from Mayor Martin Maginnis, an
Did resident of the county, and now en-
gagged with the Indian commission in Mon
tana, regretting his inability to be present
at this gathering at his old home.
GEN. N. O. McLANE
Of Frontenac, whose old war-horse was on |
the fair grounds, as well as himself, was
called out and made some l-timed
remarks, telling pleasant anecdote of an
Did soldier, who forgot his piece at din
ner party and had a wrestle with the |
kings English to try and remember the
'et lspeech which he had put in
