Isbecial TELEGRAM to the Globe. !

painted red by the torches of DoRnelly and his
men, This has been the second day of the Red
Wing Industrial association exhibition, and in
every respect it has been success. The
weather was delightful, the attendance large,
and everybody has had good time. There is
something about this city which is peculiarly
characteristic of Red Wing, and the only way 10
account for is upon the theory that its citizens,
Chameleon like, adapt themselves to their sur
roundings. From the headwatcrs OF the mighty
Mississippi TO its delta, there is beauti-
full and picturesque scenery to be met with than
that which centers in and surrounds the lovely
and entcrpising city of Red Wing. St Paul may
feel justly proud of her commanding position as
the head of navigation of the Father of Waters
of her delightful surrounding .and all that
but the modest, unpretending city of Red Wing,
which guards the upper entrance to Lake Pepin,
presents attractions to the lover of all that
is beautiful in nature than St. Paul can
boast of or furnish. st. Paul is the home of the
busting business man, where the mighty dollar
holds absolute sway, while Red Wing is content
| to furnish to her citizens home sweetened with
all the charms of peaceful, happy, contented do
nestle life. Evidences of this fact are every
where visible in and around Red Wing Its de-
lightful scenery, its cosy homes, and the con-
tented air of all those you meet on
its business resident streets betokens
a people satisfied with themselves and willing to
admit that their s.lines have been cast in pleas
an: places. This fact is patent everywhere in
the city, and enters not only into its every day
life, but is visible upon special occasions, such
US is now in progress at its annual fair. There is
no attempt at gaudy show, but the eye and The
hand of the artist is it all. This is seen in
the first place in the site selected for the fair
grounds. The GLOBE has had occasion many
times heretofore to describe these grounds
their easy accessibility to even the pedestrian;
their lovely surroundings, so far as scenery is
concerned, and their perfect adaptabiliiy for the
purpose designed. and nothing further is required
at thi. time 1t cannot be said that the present
fair is in any sense an exponent of the agricultu-
raj products of Goodhue county. 1t is not q
Goodhue county fair that is be held next week.
| The disp lay Of cattle, horses, sheep, swine,
etc., and of vegetables falls far below what
Goodhue county is capable of showing, but still
there is enough TO be seen to repay the visitor
for spending a day to look over what is on ex-
hibitiou. Exhibition hail. which is built in the
form of Greek cross, is q perfect bower of
beauty, Every exhibit no matter how small, is
arranged with perfect taste, the whole making
up picture upon which the eye rests with
pleasure. In the center of the building is a cir
cular space in which is an excellent display, as
far it goes, of the different kinds of vegetables
on exhibition. At the cast end of this is lovely
fountain and its jetting spray falls upon va
riety of water plants. On the west the Mime
sofa Stoneware company has fine exhibit of
their ware, with one of their workmen to show
how the same is made. On the south the Red
| Wing printing company has a. unique miniature
building, the sides and roof of which is covered
with copies of nearly every paper published in
| the state and ornamented with lastly arranged
| fruits, berries, grain, etc. Within this bower,
which is carpeted and fitted up with chairs ETC.,
are some splendid specimens of different kinds
of book binding, etc. Both the design and the
execution is creditable to Messrs. Herbert &
| Swanstrom. On the north Dr. j. H. Sandberg
has display of 1900 different specimens of
plants of every conceivable variety Over the
| the eastern entrance to the building is motto in
large letters, ''We proudly welcome the author
OF Atlantis" In the different panes of the
| building there some fine displays, noticeable
among which is elaborate collection of plants
and flowers from the greenhouse of Mrs. Charles
Beether, artistically arranged with very pleasing
| effect. Immediately opposite to this is a very
large and elegant display of all kinds
| of ladies handiwork from crazy quilt down to
the smallest specimen of exquisite embroidery.
/ Over the space allotted to the picture gallery Is
| the motto, ''NO higher aim than art and the
| space is filed with u number of fine pictures
| paintings, etc Mrs. Stedee, of Red Wing ex-
/ hibts a splendid collection of the taxidermist's
/ art in the shape OF numberless birds small ami
mails, etc. The balance of the building is filled
with elaborate displays made by the merchants
| of Red Wing. of their different kind of wares
which would do no discredit TO any city in the
land. The building the center Of attraction
/ and all day long the 1900 persons present kept
passing and repas.ing through it, and every time
| they went through they saw something new to
admire.
The principal event Of the day, however, was
| the annual address, delivered by Hon IgnGtius
/ Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly arrived on the train
shortly before noon. He was met at the depot
/ by the officers Of the society and taken to the
residence of Mr. Charles Becther where an ee-
CANT dinner was served, aud at p III. he was
escorted TO the fair grounds. Owing TO a some
what high wind which prevailed, it was thought
\ best that Mr.. Donnelly should speak from a car
| rage on the race course In front of the amphi-
| theater. The gates to the track were thrown
open, as were the entrances TO the amphitheater,
and soon every seat was filed and hundreds
were gathered on the track in front OF the
| judges stand little after ? p. IN. Mr. DON
nelly, accompanied by President Becther, VI. ;.
| Chandler G. Mcintyre and b. b. Herbert, was
| driven in a carriage upon the grounds His
| appearance was greeted with round after
round Of applause, which he gracefully ackrowl-
| edged with many bows. After quiet was re-
| stored Mr.. Chandler and in an exceedingly
| happy and eloquent speech introduced Mr. Don
| nelly whom they all knew aud loved as a good
| citizen, scholar, statesman and an author Of
whom Minnesota was proud. This introduction
was the signal for another outburst of applause,
| lasting several minut9s AT its conclusion Mr.
| Donnely delivered an address Of a half hours
length, entirely extemporaneous. Mr.. Donnelly
| spoke in one of his happiest veins, and he was
listened TO throughout with the closest attention
/ from beginning to end. Ills speech was almost
| entirely confined to the wonderful progress that
had been made during the nineteenth century in
/ everything that tended towards the happiness
| and well being Of the human race, and more
| especially Of the marvellous changes that bad
taken place in Minnesota during the past few
| years. He said were living

amount that il IL a grave question re 10 what we
I shall do with it. He then referred 10 the cues
