Minnesota Fair and Live Stock associations
fair transpred on yesterday. and the thing
| Ito use homely phrase), wound up in a
blaze of glory. 1t was a complete success in
every respect. 1t was financial success. 1t
was success in the way OF exhibits, from
the magnificent display of imported and
thoroughbred cattle down to the splendid ex-
! hibits of floral hall. 1t was a success in
drawing together large concourse of peo-
! pie, and in fine was success every way. In
this connection it is highly proper to state
who contributed towurd making it d success.
About two weeks ago the stockholders of the
association held meeting and appointed a
/ committee of three, of whom GAYLORD Lam
was presidenYand Harry shauburt one OF the
members, who were intrusted with the de-
tails OF getting up the fair, with all that the
! name i'm plies. These two gentlemen have
| put in two weeks of good solid work, which
has resulted in the complete preparation of the
grounds, construction of necessary buildings
and the perfect organization of the neces-
sary forces for the management of the fair.
The officers and directors of the association
all labored for the success OF the fair and are
ali entitled to great credit. President Frank
Piper gave all the time he could spare from
his business, and was on the grounds con-
stantly after the fair begun. Secretary
! Harvey Zimmerman was also interchangeable
in his labors. To the several superintend-
ents of departments also great credit belongs
for the prompt and efficient service they
rendered and for the perfect satisfaction ex-
pressed by exhibitors, which will go long
way towards making the fair a success an
other year. In Division A, Harry Shaubut,
as superintendent, managed the cattle de-
| partment admirably. There was no fault
| found and there was nothing wanting from
the beginning to the end in this division
which should have been there. Vim. Hold

one who bore part in the management and
their determination to make the fair sue

belong. Another grand element of success
was the beautiful weather. The entire four

uncomfortable. The scene on Saturday was
beyond description. "The most delightful
day ever saw, was the general verdict and
the fact was that it could not have been
bettered by any one.
Among the many exhibits that attracted
particular attention were the fire brick and
drain tile manufactured by the Man
kato Clay works. Some fine samples OF
cooperage from the cOopersge establishment
of NJ. Richards. A splendid lot of buggies
and wagons in a pavilion OF their own,
manufactured by II. P. Jensen; the McCor-
mick pavilion with machinery in motion,
and also the Aultman & Co. and Deering
Co. who all made fine displays.
In floral hall the elegant pavilion of Geo.
f. Brett was conceded 70 nave been the finest
thing Of the kind ever seen, both in the rich
ness OF the goods and the taste OF the dis
play. Mr.. Brett has in reality the finest
dry goods store In southern Minnesota, and
was thus enabled to make a splendid show
ing. An error on Friday gave the credit of
display Of hand made lace to Miss Anna
Maxheld. That lady disclaims the credit of
its manufacture, which really belongs to
Miss Laura Hanna.
Another very fine contribution to the ex-
hibition in floral hall was a lot of fifteen oil
paintings, the handiwork Of Mrs J. Williams,
of Mankato. They embraced both landscape
portrait and animal pieces and we're univer-
sally compllmented.
In the horse department a pair Of fine two
year old Blackhawk coal black colts tgelding
and mare), the property Of a. T. Noble, of
! MankatO, we're a very attractive feature and
wore the blue ribbon. They were bred by
| Mr.. Noble from Senator, he by Flying Cloud
and he by Hills Blaekhawk. They are
/ nicely broken and are fine drivers Mr..
! Noble has also very fine team Of Black
hawk horses four and five years old, that
were very generally admired.
THE TANDAH RACE.
The most interesting feature Of the dav or
/ of the fair was unquestionably the tandam
race and the one wheeled cart carving four
/ gentlemen snd drawn By three horses, and
a road cart by two horses, both teams driven
tandam.
This most novel and interesting race was
conceived by Mr.. II. P. Jensen, who con-
strueted the novel vehicle and whose jealous
aud interchangeable lsbOrs in behalf Of the so
I cietv were instrumental in awakening gen
eral interest in the fair The cart was in
