NOTES OF A DAY
Spent Amid Agricultural and In.
duStriai SURROUNDINGS


The fair authorities seem to have an
intricate way of recording the premi-
ums awarded by the judges. The SUI
perintendents of the various divisions
hold the numbers of the articles which
have drawn prizes, and in the secreta-
rvs Office are guarded the names of the
owners of such articles. Hence there Is
unnecessary difficulty in obtaining the
information to publish the awards in
proper shape.
The members of the special commit
tee for ''St. Paul day. are requested to
meet at the fair grounds this morning at
IL o'clock sharp in the Office of II. R.
Denny. secretary State Fair associa-
ton. 1t is important that all shall be
there.
The general superstition exists that
men are the only human beings that be-
come interested in the modern improve
ments in machinery. But a visit to
machinery hall give one very different
impression. All day yesterday scores
of ladies were surging to and fro
through machinery hall and adjacent
buildings, and aside from the induce
ment offered by Walter A. Woods

ing machines, steam engines and sew
ing machines received careful scrutiny.

mere shapeless mass. and the chief actor
was scarcely discernible. When at
least 5000 feet in the air King Burke
was dimly seen to disconnect the para
chute, which suddenly detached itself
from the balloon. and shot downward
with incredible velocity. The spectators
closed their eyes. for it was difficult
to believe that such a drop through
space could be made with safety. But
finally the sail-like parachute began to
make its resisting power felt: and
slowly and vet more slowly it decended.

WHIRLING ON WHEELS.
Parade of Bicycles Proves an At.
tractive Feature.

A parade of wheelmen upon deco
rated wheels was a unique spectacle
last evening on the streets of the city.
The parade was organized and carried
out by the Standard Bicycle club, I'M
der the captaincy OF Frank Hertz, and
proved great success. \ start was
made early in the evening from the
Central Police station, when upwards of
100 bicyclist formed in line. headed by
two mounted policemen. They pro-
ceeded up to Third street, where the
procession was viewed by many thou
sand citizens. 1t was an eXhilarating.
not TO say gorgeous sight. The
illuminatiOns were in full glow. stretch
ing to the right and left in endless va
riety, hue and form. The wheelmen
passed along and added vim to the
picturesque and taking scene. Upon
either side of each machine hung a
large-siZed Chinese lantern, serving as
an effective foreground to the decorations
upon the wheels. These decorations
were universally of three colors-red.

volved charming picture was present

interest in the races momentarily abat-
ed when it became nOised about that the
hot air ship had been filed at last, and
that the myriad of small boys who had
been holding the massive balloon by
the sides for two hours were now to
have their patience rewarded, and all
eyes were directed toward the balloon,
which was firmly anchored about 800
feet north Of the judges stand. The
parachute by means of which the daring
aerOnaut made his descent is cheaply

is attached few yards of cheap linen.

over till Friday in order to give the
members chance to attend the State
Fair to-day.
1t seems that there was some misun-
derstanding in regard to the closing
pills to attend the State Fair. Notice
was first given that they would be
closed Friday, but this has now been
corrected.
The parade of the horses, ponies and
cattle about the little lake in the
ground, which was to have taken place
yesterday forenoon, was postponed
until Friday. One of the officials
stated he did not believe it was possible
to get them all out and that he believed
the parade would be abandoned.
The voting machine has its share of
visitors, and all pronounce it remark
able piece of Yankee ingenuity.
The side-show men are coming
money. People it seems, are willing to
pay for the qualification of curiosity
even if they don't see much-and they
generally don't.
There is no lack of music on the fair
grounds, The band gives two concerts
every day and plays on the grand stand
during the races. The pianos in the
main building are constantly in service.
On the grounds may be seen blind
hddler, several women with hand
organs, and last and loudest the In
dams in the side-show.
Fat men and lean men, women be-
dewed with heat, crying babies and
bowling urchinS all contribute to the
excitement.
Many st. Paul and Minneapolis car
riages, filed with prominent people,
were watching the races form the in
closure.
1t was King Burk's Tooth trip sky
ward, and his mother, who was fore
most in making arrangements for his
ascent, has made upwards of 1000 sim
liar journeys.
To-day Miss Lolita Hunt will make a
grand balloon ascension at p. III. from
in front of the gIond stand.
The public schools will be closed to-
day, it being st. Paul day at the State
Fair.

KEEP OPEN HOUSE.
The Jobbers' Union Warmly En-
terrain Their Friends.

The st. Paul Jobbers' union long
since gained the deserved reputation of
not doing things by halves, and the re-
ception at "Jobbers' union headquar-
terS'' rendered dealers of the Northwest
was in keeping with their past record.
They were not content with simply
offering comfortable place to
rest to which the weary sight
seer could repair after the
long walks through the agricultural and
mechanical halls, fine art exhibits and
live stock barns and pens, but did the
hospitable toall their guests, and spread
an inviting lunch. Said a prominent
member yesterday, regarding the spirit
promoting their efforts: I'VE have been
on many junketing tours throughout
the northwest and have everywhere
been so well treated that we desire to
do whatever we can to show our friends
that their kindness has not been for
gotten"
II he headquarters yesterday were
under the charge of A. II. Lindeke, as
chairman of the committee, he being

and it is needless to say that the many
representative business men of st,
Paul, Minneapolis and the Northwest
who called during this day, were
pleasantly entertained. Among the
more prominent merchants and bust
ness men of other cities who called at
headquarters yesterday were: Jesse

THE MINNESOTA CHIEF"

ThreShef Manufacturing Co.
A more appropriate name for thresh-
ing machine could not have been Sc
lected. unless it would be to change the
wording3and call it the ''Chef'' of all
threshing machines. The history of
the affairs of the old Northwestern Car
company are sufficiently familiar to all
the residents of Minnesota. and the fact
that the present company is the sue
cessOr of the old concern is pretty
generally known. 1t commenced
work the 1st of last January
just where the old company left
except that where the former were
financially weak the present company
go to work with ample capital at hand
to make success in spite of hard times
or any other similar contingency. The
threSher shown at the Fair this year is
without doubt the best machine ever ex-
hibited, combining all the elements of
success as found in no other machine
shown on the grounds. The capacity
of the new works is 1000 threshing ma
chimes per year, besides capacity of
over 5000 wagons per year, branch
Of the business that has only recently
been started. The engine generally
used in operating the minnesota

ured by the same company. for which
they have a capacity of 800 per year.
