OwAToNNA, 2.-Monday afternoon a called
meeting of the officers Of the Minnesota State
Agricultural society was held in this city, and
the session proved both important and in
teresting. The officers of the society as well
as the city committee visited the fair grounds
to examine the buildings which were used by
the society last year as well as to arrange for
new ones, as it was found that owing to the
coming fair, which is going to be upon so
much larger a scale than ever before, more
buildings will have to be put up. All were
very much pleased at the looks Of the grounds
as well as to the condition of the buildings.
Col Chambers, the resident member of the
board, has kept his eagle eye upon every
thing and everything was in fine order ready
for occupancy. The grounds certainly
presented fine appearance upon
yesterday and the trotters at work
upon the track showed that the track was
looked after as we'll as exhibition grounds
proper. 1t was decided to put up the new
officers quarters by the main entrance.
This building will be 16x75 feet. The other
buildings were not fully decided upon, but
will be in keeping with the other buildings
of the coming great exhibition.
The evening session was quite lengthy
and much business was transacted. The
