A SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE.
What Minnesota Pluck and Energy
has Accomplished.

The history of the Northwestern Car
company is the history of Northwestern en-
terprise and success Within a very few
years this company has pushed itself by en-
ergy and business tact to the very front,
until now not only are its machines the
favorites upon the Northwestern market,
but the old established houses of the East
find in this young and sUalwart outgrowth
of Minnesota enterprise powerful rival in
the territory, they formerly monopolized
With unequaled facilities for obtaining the
finest quality of lumber and material for
their machines, the Northwestern Car COM
pany is able to produce machines that sue
cessfully compete with the make of any other
manufacturers, no matter where located,
that have obtained reputation and a
place in the opinions of farmers throughout
the country that no other machine can hope
to surpass. Since the company's temporary
embarrassment, some eighteen months
since, when its affairs passed into the hands

The Races.

The track was in such poor condition
yesterday, owing to the rain of the day be-
fore. that it was decided best not to start
any of the advertised races. This was a
disappointment to all. but it couldn't be
helped, as even if horses had been called
late in the afternoon the track, still soft,
would have been so cut up as to have made
it worthless for the remainder of the week.
There remain now twcnty-one races to be
put through before Saturday night, as the
management thinks there is no necessity of
prolonging the fair into another week. It
will take some rather short work to get
through with nine races day. The fair is
fortunate in having Col. W. FL. Wilson of
Kentucky as starter, who y7iGiii do as much
as any man can to save every minute of
time. His record as prompt starter and an
efficient discourager of scoring made on
Monday give good hope that the races will
be put through with promptness and dis
patch.
In making up the races for to-day, Col.
Wilson had considerable trouble but,as it is
Minneapolis day, fixed it to suit the Mime
apolis brethren. The following is the pro-
gram:
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-09-10
st. Paul Day.

But just wait until tomorrow, st. Paul's
day. A magnificent program has been pre-
pared, and with the attractions (all the
special ones being furnished by ST. Paul
herself), it will be the great day of the fair.
The sport will begin in the morning with
an exhibition game of lacrosse by the St.
Paul clubs, the teams being as follows:
L. L. Martin, Fl. Warwick, A. Giberton, J,
Stark. A. D. Warner, j. Mann, w. McRobie,
J. Sinclair, j. Kenney. E. Murphy, K. Mar
tin, Capt. ID. Mcdonald.
Geo. Warwick, G. Sherwood, W. Orr, D.
Mahoney, r. A. Divine, A. Starke, Doc.
Whitcomb, F. Peters, B. Shea, j. Kent, P.
P. Coghlan, J. Shea.
Fort Smelling will give one Of its lightning
drills on the field south of the main build
ing. Following will be a drill by the famous
Company d OF the First regiment, which
stands second to 10 company in the coun-
try in proficiency in the school Of the COM
pany. at o'clock will take place the for
NAL presentation of the permanent faiI
grounds to the state by the commissioners of
Ramsey county. The presentation speech
will be made by Mayor Rice. president OF
the county board, and the response in be-
half of the state by Gov. Hubbard, who
will then formally turn over the grounds to
Hon. NJ P Clarke, president of the agri-
cultural society. This ceremony will take
place at the south end of the main building.
Then will come the races, big ones, the
Minnesota derby, the 2:20 class, with
Maggie G. Middleton, Butterscotch VIII
Calendar, A. V. Painting, Prince Arthur,
Boston Davis and Bonnie McGregor. The
other races that follow will be the 1928 and
the $50 and ending with the great race OF
the fair the free-for-all pace for purse OF
81, 600, the entries in which are all famous
horses-Regardless, Hormerly, Ben Ham
ilton, Westmont, Minnie r and
Mike Wilkes. A great special trial will
then be made by Fannie Witherspoon,
Commodore Kittson's famous mare, who
will endeavor to break the two-mile trotting
record. The racing will conclude with a
| novelty of a running race between two
horses in the sulky, the competitors being
Ollie, Becker, Firebrand and Blackbird.
The day will close in st. Paul with a
grand pyrotechnic display in the evening.

the cut below:

The ornamentation is all composed of
the products of the soil, such as stacks of
wheat and other grain, while the small
figures are made OF sections Of ears of
corn, etc.
Speaking still of the main building it is
q deplorable fact that it is too small, Many
of the exhibitors would have gladly taken
more space and used it to advantage, too,
if they could have had it. Next season the
management will undoubtedly find way
to remedy this defect, either by building an
annex or by extending the wings.
a number of exhibitors have found way
to make their displays attractive by having
ladies attend them. 1t really adds much to
the drawing power of a sewing machine,
churn, piano, or even a steam engine OF
threshing machine, to have it run by a
lady; and the nicer looking the lady the
more attractive the exhibit. The crowds
which gathered TO watch the construction
of the Minnesota centerpiece were drawn

what Northern minnesota Can Do

what Northern Minnesota. Can DO.
One of the best examples of the superior
| ity Of Minnesota soil and climate will be
found in the herd of Shorthorn cattle bred
and raised by Thomas H. Garfield at Lake
Park, on the lire of the Northern Pacific
railroad, 240 miles northwest of ST. Paul in
latitude II north, one degree north af Que
| bee, Canada; what was called Nova Zembla
| in early days of Northern Pacific at Wash
| ington. Mr.. Garfield, who was one of the
original directors and early promoters of this
railroad, selected some land at Lake Park
which he has converted into sort of eX-
| perimental farm TO show what varieties Of
grain, vegetables, cattle and horses can be
raised. While he grows the best Saskatch-
avian wheat he is breeding Percheron
horses as well as Shorthorn cattle. Some
! thirty head of the latter he has sent to the
| fair. These cattle have been bred and
raised on the native hay and grass of the
country, without being fed any meal or
grain of any kind. During the winter they
| have run out to stacks of straw in the day
| time, and at night have been put in sheds
made of poles and covered with straw in the
| primitive style. They were never inside of
| frame barn nor under shingle roof, and
only receive such ordinary care and atten-
| tion as the limited Accommodations of pioneer
settlers would permit. These cattle were
taken from the pasture, where they have
been since spring, to the cars to come here,
and are very fat, the COWS weighing from
1,600 to 1,S00 pounds. This experiment of
eight years shows that these families of
Shorthorns have strength and hearty con-
stitutions, and are well adapted to the
grasses and cold climate of the Northwest,
and that Northwestern Minnesota can pro-
duce No. stock as well as No. hard
wheat without the top-grass of Illinois
or the Iowa corn.

A SUCCESSFUL DAY

Good Racing Coming.
Very Like a Fair.

It really looked like fair yesterday. The
drizzly rain of the day before, which made
everybody so unhappy and was the cause of
so much profanity, ceased before midnight
and the signal service indications OF clearing
weather and higher barometer were for once
verified. Before noon the clouds were nearly
all gone, and the sun began his grateful
work of drying up the moisture, which was
so discomforting. By II o'clock the boats
ceased to run. at noon rubber boots were at
a discount, and by 2 O'Clock pedestrians
could perambulate the grounds with ease
and comfort. Secretary JudSon, who had
sunk considerably III stature, owing to the
weather. began to tower to his usual COM
handing position above his fellowmen, and
his face wore his usual benignant smile.
Early in the day the management with
cOmmendable swiftnesS got to work for the
comfort of the patrons and soon gravel
walk was extended across the slough from
the depot to the GLOBE Office, which is the
first center of attraction which attracts the
visitor as he alights from the train. Planks
were procured and convenient temporary
sidewalks were laid at various convenient
places.
In the buildings order reigned everywhere
where heretofore had been considerable
COn1uSlOn. L HG Ildll UullOlllS eSiiDilS,
now that they are done, are really very
creditable to the exhibitors. Several of them
have the appearance of haste and hurry,
but in the main they are tasteful, and fully
one-half are of great merit. Exhibitors
should learn after several hundred years
experience in fairs that the most elaborate
display at fair is the best, in fact the
only one welI-worth the making. The dis
play that draws the crowd is the one that
makes customers.
THE MINNESOTA PEICE
at the middle of the building is thing of
great beauty now that it is done, The
ornamental scroll-work on the sides of the
terraces is very artistically done, and one
finds little cause for wonder that the Min
nesota exhibit should have so captivated
the people at New Orleans last winter.
One corner OF this scroll-work is shown III
