ON THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Crowds Of Sunday ViSItOrs.-PTepa.
FaGiOns i'm Advanced State.
A large number of people from both
cities visited the state fair grounds yester-
day, some going by train, while the rest
went in vehicles. Much surprise was shown
by most Of the visitors at the handsome ap-
pearance the grounds presented. Though
not perfect yet, everything is sufficiently far
advanced to show what the grounds will be
like when completed. 1t was expected that
all the buildings would be completed last
week. but owing to delay on account of bad
weather and the magnitude of the work
not being fully realized. it will now posi-
bly, be as late as Thursday or Friday before
the carpenters, painters and other wOrEmen
are through. The main exposition building
is being pushed toward completion as rapidly
as possible, over one hundred men working
at it. Six stables were finished last week
and are now occupied by trOtting stock.
Most of the tTotteTS were given a
spin around the Track yesterday, and
made a splendid showing. The entries have
been numerous and continue to come. The
entries for the Minnesota Breeders stakes
closed Saturday night. Workmen were
busily engaged yesterday in smoothing the
track and gathering up small stones and
HoTsemen spoke very favOrably of the
course. believing it viii be a fast one as soon
as it is in proper shape, which it will be in
a day or two.
4 feature most worthy of notice, and for
which the managers deserve praise is the
numerous watering places on the grounds.
Around every building and at different
points on the ground there are wells and
drains in front to carry away refuse water,
so that there viii be no possibility of any
great amount of mud gathering at those
points. Besides other accommodations there

ST. PAUL,S TRADE.
Wholesale and Retail Business
During the Past Week.

Wholesale and Retail Business
During the Past Week.
An active market has existed in financial
circles. Money has been plentiful with the
banks, and Eastern exchange has been sell
ing at slight discount between the banks.
No change in discount rates.
The realty market has been active for the
time of year and prices are held firm or
advancing. There is every indication for a
large amount of business this fall. Build
ing permits have been in great demand.
The wholesale grOcers have all been yer V
busy, the usual steady supply of orders
having been received.
The dry goods business has been excel
lent, the increase in which has been mex-
pectedly large. The volume of trade greatly
exceeds that of last year at this season.
The drug market is active and sales in
cTeaSing. Collections backward and some
failures reported, still. on the whole, the
trade is in good shape and safe condition.
The price of turpentine has tiuctuated
during the week. Cardamons are now very
cheap. Linseed Oil is less than ever before.
Chlorate potash, oil Of lemon and canthar-
ides are advancing. Our wholesale drug
houses have advanced their offers on extra
grade ginseng, so that ST. Paul is now prob
ably the best market in the West for its
sale.
There has been a good active demand for
all kinds of wholesale clothing; collec-
lions, however, are not quite what they
might be.
In wholesale hats and caps an active trade
has been done, and large orders continue to
come in for fur coats.
A very satisfactory business has been done
in wholesale boots and shoes.
Leather has been quite active; harness
leather has advanced 1 cent per pound and
sole will probably follow suit.
The activity in hardware continues, with
a tendency for sitter prices in iron and
steel.
The wine and liquor merchants report
trade improving right along, with slow col
lections, however.
The lumber business has been good, with
excellent prospects for a fine fall trade.
An abundant supply of all kinds of fruit
has been received, with a good demand for
it. This business has been very active dur
ing the week.
A satisfactory trade has been done in all
the different retail lines.

The Two Great Racers.

The great case of Miss WoOdford vs..

Miss WOOdfOrd has been the plaintiff

Torrance in the Champion, on the 10th,
and they it was who appealed for another
try, and Mr.. p. LorillaTd put Pontiac into
the special sweepstakes without being over
sanguine. The special sweepstakes showed
cOnelusiyely that the Champion stakes was
not Miss Woodford's true form. for she gave
Freeland a tremendous race, and was only
beaten a head or neck Indeed. the
Dryers, and those in the timers stand with
them, thought that Miss WOOdford won, or
at least il was dead heat, and appealed
once more. There was no doubt in their
minds that the mare had been short of work
in her other races, and at the finish of the
special she seemed coming the stronger of
the pair, as she was a half length ahead of
Freeland before they had gone three strides
past the post. Hence the great match of
the Goth was the result. and it produced a
race that will live in racing history with the
great match at York in which Flying Dutch
man beat Voltigeur. II was one of the
most desperately contested finishes ever
witnessed on this hemisphere. As a race
throughout il was scarcely up to the stand
ard. as Freeland scarcely made an effort
until the last three furlOngs. but the finish
was one such as stirs the very soul of a man
who has the smallest drop OF sporting blood
in his veins, and such as he will not forget
TO his diving day. If bedlam had been let
loose the scene could not have surpassed

Bismarck,s Sche me.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Additional sensation
was attached TO the Spain-Germany diff
Guilty by rumor given for Prince Bis
marck's reasons for the seizure Of the Caro-
line island. This rumor attributes to the
chancellor q determination to obtain pos
session of Cuba, and explains his conduct
in taking the Carolines as a ruse TO secure
an understanding between the United
States and Germany, regarding 10 Outlaying
Spanish possessions, as a result Of which
Germany would permit the United States
TO secure the PHILIPPINE islands, if the
Washington government would consent to
Germ2ny's annexation of Cuba 1t is
strongly maintained in some quarters that
Bismarck has for a long time had his eye on
Cuba, and that he has assured
himself Of the support of certain
Western American sugar interests in
the scheme. Englishmen of moderate
view scoute the idea that the United States
will ever permit any German occupation of
Cuba, and affect to perceive in this reported
Bismarckian project deeply designed in
trigue to involve the American in European
squabbles. This story comes from where
it is extensively discussed. The Spanish
colony in the French capital are fuTiously
indignant over the whole thing. The Tag
blatt of Berlin, in referring 10 the matter to-
day, remarks that the beautiful ladies of
Cuba VIII soon be the lovely subjects of
Emperor William. King Alfonso has been
informed by telegraph of the reported Span
ish occupation of zap. the principal of the
Caroline islands. He will return from San
ii Defonso TO Madrid on Monday to preside
over the special meeting of the Spanish
cabinet, called TO consider the Caroline's
affair."

Chicago and ST. Louis.
William Lardner, a stone-mason. lately
employed on the Seventh street bridge. this
city, went West few weeks ago to seek
his fortune. Yesterday a letter was re-
ceived from him by friend here. He has
knocked around considerably since leaving
here, he says, but has touched no place in
his travels that promises so well as st.
Paul, MIMI, and its neighbor, Mime
apolis.
''They are just the busiest municipalities

he says. 1.-The people don't sleep in either
place, in order that they may be up Just a
shade earlier than their neighbors. Talk
about the jealousy of Chicago and st.
Louis! 1t pales before that of st. Paul
and Minneapolis. st. Paul is making the
most elaborate and enterprising corporate
improvements. Streets are being extended
in all directions and three new bridges are
being built. spanning the river. They are
scarcely behind this over in Minneapolis.
but I'll give you little instance showing
you the jealousy that exists: A photo
grapher went about taking views of the
business houses and street scenes of st.
Paul. Having finished business there he
went over to Minneapolis and proudly ex-
hibited samples Of what he had done for us
as surety of what he might do for them.
The samples killed him. The people
wouldn't give him an order because he
hadn't been over there first. -Pittsbmg

Death of an Aged Lady.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Benjamin Jer-
Wis died at Little Canada at the age of 81
years. Mrs. Jervis was one of the first
white ladies who ever lived in what is now
81. Paul, having come here with her hus-
band some time during the forties. Her
home was the stopping place of many of
the pioneers of the country when here, and
she and her husband were well known
throughout the territory. She was the
mother of large family of children, six of
whom are now living, five in Minnesota at
Little Canada, and one in Rhode Island.
Some time ago she was attacked with
mild form of dropsy, and this, in connec-
ton with her advanced age, caused her
death. She will be buried Tuesday at
o'clock from the residence of son in Little
Canada.

Local Notes.

dam by st. Lawrence.
As the races were all declared off at
Saltwater, Commodore KlttSOn's horses are
all back again in the stables at Midway,
and viii next appear at The state iair.
The friends of Mr.. Ben WOOdmansee. the
very accommodating and pleasant superin-
tendent of Commodore KittsOn's stables at
Midway, will be panied to learn that he is
quite i'll. and that he intends to spend the
winter in California or Florida.

was 10 try TO beat Monroe Chiefs record of

in 2:2S.
Mr.. George W. SherwOOd's horses that
he will have at the state fair are at Mid
way, and consist Of the following: Cricket.

Mollie Martin; Exit, a three-year-old bay
filly by BaymOnt, dam Addia, by Swigert:
FREELY, a twO-year-Old FLY by BaymOnt, a
full sister TO Exit. They are all nice, clean
looking animals, of good size and substance.
Johnston, Commodore KittSOn's great
PAGER, which was brought home lame, is
still at the stables at Midway. No one has
yet been able TO locate the lameneSS. His
shoes were taken off when he was first
brought home a week or two ago, and his
feet were thoroughly examined, but the
cause of the lameneSs could not be found
there. His shoes have since been put on
again, and he walks without the slightest
indications of lameneSS, stands firmly and
steadily upon his feet, and his legs are
straight. He turns either way in moving
without showing any sign Of being lame,
and he will pace to speed of four minutes
10 the mile without showing that any
trouble exists, but when he goes faster
than that the lameneSs shows itself.
