North,oesterm Industrial association.


1t is not too much to say that the Northwestern
Industrial association, or, IN other words, the
Minneapolis fair, has done as much or more, than
any other one thing to bring into notoriety the
wonderful northwest; its grand resources and the
immense store of wealth which it contains, and
which has induced the laborer from foreign
landslide father who would do for his son
the broken merchant or trader who would
trieve his fortunes-the capitalist, who would
make an inyestment-the soldier, who would
place his claim all, indeed who, fleeing from
the high priced lands of the east, from the old
country, where the bloated landlord owns all, to
come hither and find for themselves homes.
wealth, and future ease and happiness. For
what the Industrial association has done in this
regard it is entitled to great credit and for what
it may attempt to do in the
future it should merit and receive
the encouragement Of our merchants
mechanics, manufacturers and traders. 1t will
not do to say that it is corporation and that the
members thereof expect by its success to put
money in their pockets. 1t has not done so in
the past, but even if it had the consideration
should not be lost sight of, that it also puts
money into the pockets of those who happen to
he within the field Of its work and influence.
fair shall far exceed in extent and usefulness all
those which have preceded and we know from
actual investigation of the work being done that
every hope and expectation will be thoroughly
fulfilled. But to make the matter doubly sure
the aid of home influence is required. Our
citizens, by which we mean our capitalists,
our business men, and all who have
the interests and the prosperity of our city and
and act with the managers OF the association to
the end that it may be a complete success. The
further assurance is also given that in the com
Ing exposition the merchants will have an oppor-
tunity, along with the manufacturer, the farmer
the inventor, etc, to show to the multitude Of
visitors their capabilities and that it is not nee
esssary to 90 to the seaboard or to the lake
shore in search of goods to satisfy the wants OF
trade The wholesalers of this city i'll their
promised exhibits will not fail, we believe, to
carry conviction regarding their ability to meet
every requirement made upon them and we are
sure the merchant in his judicious display will
| reap rich and rare reward.
Already the spacious grounds are being put in
order; the buildings being removed and
| where necessary, changed to meet expected re-
! quirements; the track is receiving that at
! teution necessary to make it the trotting
| course of the northwest, sGch, indeed, as will
! prove fitting place to test the quality and speed
! of the famous trotter Jay Eye See and those
! wonderful PAGERS, Johnson and Richhail. The
! record of these horses Is already known, andsto
| witness the attempt of the first named, Jay Eye
See In his effort to beat his time OF a mile in two
minutes and ten seconds, made recently at Prov
| idence, K. |. and to look upon the contest be-
! tween johnson. whose record as PAGER has
never been excelled, and Rchball, will be worth
going miles to see. Richball is splendid ami
! NAL and it is promised by his owner that the
| horse will wrench victory from johnson or force
! the latter largely reduced record. We are al
! lovers of the horse, and we are sure that the
! simple announcement that such noted specimens
/ of the turf and track are to be with Us during
| the great fair is in itself suthciant TO bring
a great and enthusiastic crowd
! These are not all of the attractions by
any means, for it must not be forgotten that the
st SEX exhibit will greatly exceed anything of the
! kind held during previous years. In addition on
! Friday there will be a sale, at auction, of H0i
stems and Jerseys, the finest cattle in the world
all things considered, several parties having given
notice that at such time their respective herds
! will be so disposed of. This fact of itself will
/ bring large number of cattle men from various
/ parts OF the country, and we know il will not be
/ by any means the least attraction of the fair.
| The foregoing is. only part of what will be
1 offered being simply leading points and not ex-
/ pected to shadow the departments of asri-
/ culture, of machinery, OF domestic production,
/ of art and science, and of manufactures. These
| will all have their place and VIII be presented,
this year, in n stronger and more forciSle light
I than ever before. Simply referring 10 the fact
hat the fair opens Monday, Septemoerl; that II
continues during the entire week; that the big
days will De Tuesday, September when Jay Eye
! See will try TO beat his best record, and Thurs
DAY when the great PAGERS johnson and Richb2lI
will try for the honor of victory. We conclude
asking our people, one and all not TO forget that
this exhibition Of the Northwestern Industrial
association is 4 distinctive feature Of our city
and country and that it deserves your warmest
| AMI most hearty support.
