North,cestern I,.f.1s.rint Assoeiation


Industrial association, or, III 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
imuense 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 re-
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 hther 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 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 or, that it also puts
money into the pockets of those who happen to
be within the field OF its work and influence.
This year it is expected and proposed that the
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
the northwest generally at heart should unite
and act with the managers OF the association to
the end that it may be complete success The
further assurance is also given that in the com
ing exposition the merchants will have an oppor,
tunty, 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 30 to the seaboard 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 are being removed and
where necessary, changed to meet expected re-
quirements; the race track is receiving that at
tention necessary to make it the trotting
course of the northwest, such, 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 Riehball. The
record of these horses is already known, and 10
witness the attempt of the first named, Jay Eye
see, in his effort to beat his time of mile in two
minutes and ten seconds, made recently at Prov
idenee, r. l., and to look upon the contest be-
tween johnson. whose record as PAGER has
never been excelled, and Richball, win be worth
going miles to see. Richball is 4 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 all
lovers of the horse, and are sure that the
simple announcement that such noted specimens
of the turf and track are to be with us during
tho great fair is in itself suficiaut TO bring
a great and enthusiastic crowd.
These are not all of the attractions by
any means, for 1t must not be forgotten that the
st lck exhibit will greatly exceed anything Of the
kind held during previous years. In addition on
Friday there will be a sale, at auction, of hol-
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 viii
bring large number of cattle men from various
parts of the country, aud we know it will not DC
| BY any means the least attraction of the fair.
The foregoing is only part of what will be
! offered being simply leading points and not ex-
pected to shadow even the departments of agri-
/ culture, of machinery, of domestic production,
! of art aud science, and of manufactures These
/ will all have their place and will be presented,
4 this year, in a stronger and more forciale light
/ than ever before. simply referring to the fact
hat the fair opens Monday, September; that II
| continues during the entire week; that the BIZ
/ DAYS will be Tuesday, September e,when jay BYE
! See will try to beat his best record, and Thurs
/ day when the great PAGERS johnson and Richbal
will try for the honor of victory. We coneiuds
asking our people, one and sill, not 70 forget that
this exhibition of the Northwestern lEdusiria
/ association is distinctive feature of orr city
and country and that it deserves your warmes
and most hearty support.
