THE FAIR
A Gratifying Success.
Good Weather, Large Attendance,
Magnificent Exhibits, and Every
thine in Tip Top Trim.
A Detailed Account of the Vari-
Gus Exhibits, the Races and
other Facts and Features.

The second annual fair of the South
ern Minnesota Live Stock and Fair As
ISOLATION has in every way justified the
efforts which the management put forth
Ia sustain its existence in the face OF
menacing difficulties which confronted
them on every hand few weeks ago,
and for time seemed To foretell pre-
cipitate death for the young association.
Let il now he recorded In the credit of 4
faithful few who espoused the cause
amid these dubious scenes, that Their
faithfulness and persistence have
brought about the best Fair ever held in
Southern Minnesota, and placed the as
ISOLATION OH solid basis, and which has
terminated reputation for Mankato in
this regard that will guarantee much
more elaborate and largely attended fair
next year.

influence upon the energies Of those

an early hour the saw and hammer
attuned their utterances 10 the bright
bracing state of nature, and ingenious
minds were mutually joined with busy
fingers in putting the final artistic
touches upon all. The day was devoted
ia faithful work and when the mantle of
night enshrouded the whole scene once
more, all arrangements were practical

yaze of the the thousands who have
since visited the grounds.

Restoration of Rates.

To-day the Milwaukee & St. Paul, Omaha
and Minneapolis and St. Louis roads will
restore passenger rates to Chicago to tariff,
which is SO second-cIass and $3.50 first
class, limited. No agreement was entered
into, each one signifying their intention OF
doing so. The Minnesota & Northwestern,
though it has not said it would restore rates,
will probably do SO, as there is no money in
present prices. 1t is generally believed that
hereafter for time at least. rates will re-
main firm, as the railroads have been actu-
ated by common sense in making the restor-
alton. 1t is hard to understand, however,
how the three old lines can maintain rates
if the Minnesota & Northwestern persists
in selling at so great discount. The
scalpers, while they are content with the
advance. do not believe that the railroads
will keep faith with each other but thai
officials will violate pledges for few hun
dred dollars increase in business. and will
involve their companies in rate wars.
