Last Day Notes.


yesterday with the start in the heat of
the unfinished 2:2O race. Arthur's hackers
claimed that their horse broke into run be-
fore the word was given. 1t is
probable, however, that this is not
so. Mr.. Wilson had arranged
with the drivers in this race that if either
OF them should be dissatisfied with their
start, he should shake his head and the
word would be withheld. This signal was
not given, and so the horses were sent off,
although, of course, had either horse
broken before the word was given, they
would have been called back.
To have seen the wagon load after wagon
load of rich carpets, rugs and curtains, all
wearing the blue ribbon, which came in
from the fair grounds from John Matheis'
celebrated exhibit, one would think that
dozen ordinary carpet stores were being
moved, yet large as the exhibit was of Mr..
MathieS' it isn't circumstance to the i'm
mense stock he carries in his mammoth
store on East Third street, below the bridge
corner in st. Paul. But he did himself
proud at the fair and got the premium he
deserved.
Mr.. Wilson has made an excellent start
ing judge for the races. Yesterday, how
ever, he exhibited slight tendency to the
vice common to starting Judges Of harangu-
ing the spectators in the grand stand. There
is a grievous temptation to oratory which
attacks any man from Kentucky when he
faces a waiting crowd. Judge Wilson has
restrained his feelings manfully in this
matter until yesterday. He soon found
out, however, that when Minnesotans go
to horse race they don't want to hear
speeches.
The gun club shoots have been well pat
ronized, some $4,000 shots having been
fired and not an accident of any kind oc-
curing. President Lyon, General Man
ager Skinner and Referee Lawrence have
won many friends by their courteous treat
OF their patrons.
The pyramidal display of carbonated
beverages made by Jacob Ries, in the main
building, attracted universal attention.
Ries makes the most delicious and health
full drinks, and besides taking the first pre-
MUM ought to have boom for his pro-
ducts.

um for the finest display of household deco

yesterday, and of these 5,15S inquired
where's Judson? | want to catch the next
train" The other two men had seen Mr..
Judson beforehand
George Kiser, with his powerful voice
and well-arranged parcel room, won the adj
miration of all and never lost package of
the 5000 intrusted to him.
The White sewing machine were awarded
the first premium for the finest display of
the finest work. This is as it should be.
Secretary Judson, who has been ailing
for some days, was reported quite sick last
