spaces were all occupied by handsome
exhibits. A great many new features
had been added, including pretty girls
behind various of the exhibit
counters. In the center Of
the the hall at the north
entrance is booth neatly arranged,
fitted up with gasoline stoves and pam
cake irons. A cOlored individual. wear
ing voluminous white cloth cap, pre-
sides over the booth and dispenses hot
cakes to the hungry crowd, made from
patent rising buckwheat -four. 1t is
probable that this booth is the best
patroniZed in the hall, as nearly every
body gets hungry and make no bones
about walking right up and partaking
of a full-siZed meal. Some even
go so far as to ask why
IN the world they didn't furnish sugar
with the cakes. There is another part
of the building where the visitors con-
gregated yesterday, and that was where
EdisOn'S phonograph or talking machine
was being displayed. The astonish-

not believe but that there was a hoax
attached to the affair, and could not be
made to see how the sounds were pro-

ANOKA COUNTY EXHIBIT.
In Agricultural hall one of the new
attractions, and, in fact, one of the prin-
cipal ones, is the AnOka county exhibit.
A miniature corn palace, handsomely
decorated with curious designs of corn.
has been erected near the entrance, and
opposite a building feStooned with
sheaveS of grain has been put up. The
display of vegetables from AnOka
county is very large one, and some
of the pumpkins and Squashes exhibited
are mammoth ones. Another new eX-
hibit received yesterday is miniature
apiary and display of the products of
the bee. The bees, thousands of them,
can be seen on the inside of the glrss
boxes, cusily moving about, making
honey. 1t is very interesting sight,
and hundreds of people stopped to wit
ness it.
MORE FINE PICTURES.
In the art department, while every
thing is still topSy-turvy, more pictures
are being hung, and by working to-day
everything will have assumed normal
shape. Thirteen new pictures hand

apolis arrived in the morning, and were
hung during the day. Nine of them be-
long to the +. c. Pillsbury collection end

OF INTEREST TO CHANGERS.
The poultry department is worthy of
mention, as in it can be found the cham

thousands of chickens, also great

th> arious kinds of fowls, as their
name is legion and they must be seen to
be appreciated. Let it suffice to say
that there is enough growing and cack-
ling going on in that department con-
tinuouSly to awaken the dead. The ex-
hibit this year is an exceptionally large
one, and more exhibits are expected to
arrive to-day.
The machinery hall is fast filling up
with exhibits. and by tomorrow will
probably be filled, as the men will be
employed to-day-even if it is the Sab
bath-putting exhibits in their places.
A full-sized cider press is running there
now at full speed, grinding up apples
into juice by the barrelful. In depart
mentS A. B ane G there is noticeable
increase of exhibits. and Supt. Gilbert
is hopeful that everything will be in
order tomorrow.

greens yesterday and is fast filling up
with handsome dairy exhibits. A great
deal of roll and granulated butter ar
rived during the day, also large con-
signment of fine dairy cheese. A new
