account of the extra two days attached
to the Fair this year. But in the build
ipgs A, B and G, there is enough ma
eiiinery to make the world go around,
and enough vehicles for an army
to ride in. There are engines
working away and threshing machines
and reaperS running, showing the skill
of the modern inventor and mechanic,
Bnildlng G is practically the carriage
hall, and is filled with handsome eQui.
pages of every description. There are
landa1s, barOucheS, drags, phaetons,
buggies and all kinds of sleighS and cut
ters. To the man of mechanical turn
OF mind, to wander through these build
ings is regular vacation of pleasure.
Hundreds and hundreds of men walked
through there during the day and
discussed the merits of the various
kinds OF threshers, hay rakes and stack
ing machines. In building A is
patent grain stacker, with q small
stack of wheat near by, illustrating the
superiority of mind over matter. and
how easily can be done by machinery
what is so hard to do by human hands.
Supt. Gilbert, of the machinery depart
nent. is little disappointed that the
exhibitors have not displayed little
more anxiety to get there exhibits in
shape, but he says that by Monday
everything will be in its proper place.

Lasso Mac. his big hat jammed tight
down over his forehead, the fringe on
his wildly picturesque costume string
ing out in the breeze created by
the velocity at which he rode.
The Sagacity and cunning of the 1.-the
llmbed chestnut SOrrel pony ridden by
the vaquero was as much subject of
comment ana admiration as was the
easy confidence i'll his seat exhibited by
the rider under circumstances of the
most trying kind. Away they thun-
dered, purSuer and pursued, until sud-
denly the rawhide lariat which had
twirled in gradually quickened circles
round the head of the man in the case
shot straight out, and fell lightly over
the head of the leader. No sooner did
the line leave his riders hand than, with
suGdenneSS that would have unSeated
most riders the little chestnut stuck
his sharp toes in the ground, and
lay back on his launches, the rope was
hauled taunt with sudden jerk, and
down went the chase, manacled, a cap
tive. This did not end the performance
by any means, however; the unt2med
native of the plain had yet to be bridled,
saddled and ridden. Quick as flash
the PROSTATE pony was blindfolded, the
saddle adjusted, while two assistants
prevented kicking by rOping the pony
by one hind leg and around the neck,
hauling the lines tight; then. suddenly
releasing all strain on them the
captive animal stepped clear of the
loops and the fun began again.

describe the cOntortiOnS and maneuverS
of the frightened beast. He actually
screamed in his wrath and fright, and
at last directed all his energies to the
business on hand. that of unseating his
rider. Every lurch the pony made was
the signal for wild WhOOp from his
rider, and of all the wild and woolly
scenes that was ever presented on the
grounds at Hamline it was everywhere
conceded that the one described was
the widest. At last the game little
animal was compelled to recognize the
fact of his defeat, and having been, in
the opinion of his rider, brought to a
proper state of subsection. was turned
loose to mingle with his kind, having
learned severe but useful lesson.
Next half-dozen long-horned Texas
trotted through the bars and into the
circle. Several lariats were snapped in
twain on the first "critter." A big red
one was tied up all four feet in bunch
and left where he fell. AT this point
the entire VaquerO crowd sailed whOOp-
ing and yelling into the arena, and in a
brief space every steer in the enclosure
was tied up in the thorough and artistic
manner characteristic of the Texas
cowboy. The vaqueros will give an ex-
hibition every morning, and in addition
to the attractions described will give
representation of the robbery of stage
coach and various other exciting feat
ureS.

FOR FARMERS EYES.
The Agricultural Implement Dis
play Is Of Great Promise.

play Is Of Great Promise.
That important department devote d
to the display of agricultural imple-
ments. and presided over by Supt. Gil
bert, has increased in its dimensions
until all the shed room Is occupied, and
the larger portion Of room in the ma
chinery hall encroached upon. Yester-
day Supt. Gilbert was one of the busiest
officials on the grounds. The build
ings owned by the Fair association were
relieved somewhat by the erection OF
building costing 81 900 by the Walter A.
Wood company, but there were others
to scramble and crowd one another for
the space. The tower, seventy
five feet high, and new building
erected by Fairbanks. Morse &
Co., and the building of the
spicuous improvements in this section
of the grounds since last year. One of
the chief attractions this year is Carriage
hall, building go by 151 feet ground
plan, that is entirely filled with the
finest and most recently designed eQuI-
pages. In addition to three sheds, each
containing Sc by 1874 feet space, eleven
spaces, each containing so by $50 feet
have been taken in the fieldnor of the
main entrance, and seven spaces, 25 by
$50 feet, east. A telegram was received
yesterday from the managers of the
Rochester fair asking for space of
100 feet square in which to exhibit
the agricultural. machinery that was
shown at the exhibition recently held at
Rochester. An effort will be made to
accommodate the applicants, though it
will cause some crowding. The power
for machinery hall. the agricultural I'M
plement department proper, the Walter
& Wood building, the creamery and the
dining hall, is supplied by Buckeye
engine of eighty-fye-horse power, which
has been furnished by Robinson & Cary.
An interesting piece of mechanism at
tached to this engine is the Blake pump
for boiler feed, which can be run as
slow as thirty strokes an hour. The
boiler is from Kinney's works. In the
line of harrows, plOws. haryesters,
mowers, feed mills, cookie mills and
wagons, the display is far in advance of
all preceding ones i'm this state.

FINE STOCK DISPLAY.
Perhaps the Best Exhibit Yet
Seen i'm the State.

The stock display, always one Of the
most important features of our agri-
cultural show, has been steadily i'm
proving from year to year, until the
present exhibit indicates that the ne
plus ultra has been reached. The hign
grade is especially observable in the
stables containing the entries of draft
horses, and as they were led forth to be
watered the great variety of breeds and
superb style of these magnificent ami
mails reminded more than one spectator
of that masterpiece of ideal equine por-
traiture, Rosa Bonheur's "Horse Fair"
Supt. Clark Chambers, of Owatonna,
who appreciates every kind of blOOded
horse-not excepting the speedy kind
was unstinted in his expressions of de-
light when referring to the draft stock.
Every stall in the vast horse stables was
taken long before the fair opened. The
display of horned cattle. in charge of
Col. William Liggett, of Benson, Minn.,
is also very fine, and embraces almost
every breed of mixers and butter
makers now cultivated or imported into
this country. Cattle, hogs aud poultry
were being placed in position in the
various stalls, stables and pens, and by.
to-day will be ready for the inspection
of the expected crowd.

who were working at the hanging OF the
pictures, things in the gallery soon pre-
sented an altered aspect. The works
just placed in position were several by
Elkins, including "a Storm On Mount
Shasta" very powerful piece OF mount
ain scenery, which occupies the greater
part of the space at one end of the hall.
A picture entitled THE Power of the
Church," by Julius Legal, the young
French artist who has recently taken
up his abode in st. Paul, is of an old
man seated in detected attitude,
his gray head bowed III s0r-
row and repentance of an
imaginary offenSe against the IRON
clad rule laid down by the parish priest;
The picture is full of expression, and
miratiOn from the crowds who strayed
through the gallery during the after
noon. Two very fine works by Gilbert
Munger. the well-known American art
tist. in Paris, were also among the Wis
ible yesterday. One is view of Venice
beautiful, and great alike in cOlOring
and execution. The other is scene on
the Thames: in the foreground the sur
face of the placid river, upon which
float in lazy luxury couple Of royal
swans. The banks of dark green foliage
reflect their varied tints in the quiet
stream, and the whole scene carries
with it an impression of restfulness and
causes the beholder to remark that it
should have been named Far From the
Madding Crowd"
There are many fine works by Sar-
penteur, most of them in animal life.
There are dogs of all sorts and descrip-
tiOns, in attitudes diverse. done in oil,
and with truth to life which appeals
direct to all lovers of paintings of a
sporting character. In another depart
ment are collection of specimens of
solar painting work, exhibited by local
portrait firm.
AS yet, however, everything in the
art department is incomplete, and to see
the exhibit in all its glory and perfec-
ton it will be necessary to drop in
about Monday, when the entire col
lection will be hung and ready for in
spection. Pictures for sale and ex-
hibitiOn continue to arrive, and those
for the latter purpose will be received
up to this evening, when the doors will
be closed against further entries

CarIeton's New Telescope.

Special to the Globe.
NCRTHFIELD, Sept. 6.-The friends of
Carleton college will be pleased to learn that
the Astronomical observatory, at Nofthfeld,
has recently received the muniflcent gift OF
SIS, 900 from Edward Fl. Williams, of Phila-
delphia, for the purpose of securing a new
large equatorial telescope. This fine instru-
ment will have an object glass of sixteen
inches clear aperture, and focal length of
at least twenty one feet. In its construction,
enced machinists for the mounting and ac-
cessories, and the most skillful opticians for
the lenses, that this delicate work may be
well and speedily DONE This new instru-
ment will be mounted in the large dome of
the new observatory and will be provided
with all the latest mprovementssknoWn to
European or American astronomers to make
it in work as effective as possible.

Exciting anu interesting scenes
With Wild Mustangs and

A II o'clock large crowd. numbering
perhaps thousand, had already con-
gregated in the grand stand to witness
the wonderful exhibition of horseman-
ship by the half dozen or so Texas va
uueros, who are camped on the trail at
Hamline. The feats performed by the
daring boys in buckskin and fringe
were surprise to even those who had
gone to the grounds expecting to see
wonders in the liLe of equeStrianiSm.
The first performance of the day was
participated in by Lasso Mac, California
Jim and several others of the big-hatted
crowd, and consisted in rOping and tying
wild ponies, carload of which were
shipped direct from their native plains
to afford diversion for the multitude.

reputation as clever rough rider by

HURLEY, Wis, Sept. 6.-Mike Conley
returned to Ashland tonight, but Patsy
Cardiff is still in town. Sheriff Mattson,
who was here all day, returned to Ash
land on the same train with COnley.
All idea of having fight between Con-
ley and Cardiff tonight has been aban-
doned. At IL o'clock tonight the
crowds had dispersed and but very few
people fingered around the Alcazar,
where the fight was to have occurred.
1t was great disappointment to the
hundreds of sports who had looked
forward to this fight with almost
as much interest as they did to the
Sullivan-Kilrain battle. The postpone
ment is an especially hard hit at Mr..
La Clair. through whose efforts the
match was arranged, and who loses at
least $1,000 by the postpOnement. 1t
will doubtless have an adverse effect on
sporting matters in this section for
long time to come. Sheriff MattsOn is
to be congratulated on the efficient way
in which he obeyed the instructions of
Governor Hoard, all matters having
been adjusted amicably and without
trouble of any kind. Both Cardiff and
Conley, as we'll as La Clair, profess too
much respect for the laws of the state
to attempt anything in direct opposition
to the wishes and commands of the gov
ernOr.

ing man OF Duluth, is in town tonight,

to take sthe matter very coolly, and

ASSESSED THE WHOLE GANG.
McKinstry's Scheme to Make Up
Deficit.

DETROIT, Sept. 6.-The Journal of to-day
prints some disclosures of more or less
sensational nature in connection with the
Detroit pension Office. Some time since Pen
sion Agent McKinstry applied for an in
crease of S1,5OO in the allowance for his
Office expenses. Commissioner Tanner
agreed to an extra credit of $4,000. Salaries
in the Office were Immediately raised and
new clerk employed. When the vouchers
were sent to Washington the auditor who
passes upon such bills promptly threw out
all the increase. The increase TO the old
clerks could easily be recouped, but that to
the extra clerk was dead loss. Mr.. Nc
Kinstry, to make good the amount, assessed
all the clerks in the Office. Upon being in
terviewed this morning Mr.. Mckinstry said:
1.-THE extra expense was incurred under the
supposition that larger appropriation was
to be made for the office. The appropriation
was not made and the expense had to be met.
You know that people working under the
government must submit to any arbitrary de-
cision or get out"

interesting Summary Of the
Fair and Day Condensed
in Notes.

The starry banner, floating from the
staff which surmOuntS the main exhibit
ton hail, Yesterday announced that the
thirty-frst annual Minnesota State Fair
was formally opened. The flag was un-
furled to breezes which every Mime
sotian knows herald that gorgeous sea-
son of Indian summer never seen in its
perfection beyond this northern lati-
tude. Such weather is not usually
vouchsafed to fair openings, and was
partially responsible for an attendance
hitherto unknown to an inaugural day.
The Fair is open. 1t cannot be said
that the Fair is ready, for all the many
avenues of preparation cannot be TO-
cused into ga day, but the myriad ex-
hibits which go to make up the round
of sightseeing at fair are there, and
by to-day will have been brought into
such a state of systematic arrangement
as will enable the visitor to give them
a satisfactory inspection. In providing
for two days of this week, the manage
ment evidently calculated upon two
DAYS of preparation. thus giving full
week of complete Fair spectacle. The
casual observer will not realize the vast
amount OF labor involved in the collec-
tiOn, systematiZing and arrangement of
the diversified exhibits of Fair. and a
first day visit is valuable if only for the
information obtainable on this point.
Weeks of work and months Of thought
and study are compressed into one day,
virtually, and the exhibition, complete,
is the capitalization of all preparation.
1t IS yet early to pass judgment upon
the State Fair-to say it will be good or
bad-better than previous efforts or
worse than last year; but it is safe to
say that the Opening-day arrangements
were more advanced and mRtured yes
terday than on the corresponding day
of last year, and that the Fair gives
promise, in many particulars, of exceed
ing in interest and diversity, any of its
predecessors. Experience has not
taught in vain. and good Judges will be
disappointed if the popular verdict is
not largely in favor of the Fair of 1889.

The dairy department is not thing
to be passed by, as there can be found
the most delicious products of the farm.
While everything in the department is
not complete, still there is enough to

The place is just as cool and
pleasant as can be, and the walls and

The mammoth refrigerator that is built
in the center of the hall is filled with
all kinds of delicious cheese, and butter
sweet and pure is piled up in huge
piles. The dairy implement and ma
chlnery exhibit is not complete yet. but
when it is it will be a grander
one than has ever been seen at
the State Fair. There is one
exhibit there at present, however,
which attracts considerable attention.
1t is patent butter extractor, with
capacity of 1.5O0 pounds of milk an
hour, producing about one pound of
pure granulated butter every minute.
The extractor will be put in operation
to-day, and will continue grinding out
butter during all of the Fair.

PARIS, Sept. 6-M. Thevenet, minister Of
Justice, has sent circular to the bishops of
France reminding them that the clergy are
prohibited by law from taking part in the
elections. The circular says the government
will unhesitatingly and vigorously proceed
against ecclesiastics who may overstep the
lines enjoined under all governments since
the concordat, 1t was the violation of this
law which caused the difficulties between the
civil power and the religious authorities at
the commencement of the present regime.
M. Thevenet has also instructed public prose-
,utors to take measures to punish severely
the commission by the clergy of offensea
