The association Comes Out Ahead
Note and Comment.
Tie work of demolition in the exhibit
halls at the Fair was begun early yes
terday morning by those exhibitors who
were anxious to ship early and avoid the
rush. This fact coming to the knowl-
edge of the officials was regarded by
them as unfair TO the Saturday visitors,
and promptly put stop to it in the in
terest of the latter. The transformation
effected in the appearance of the inte-
rior of all the buildings during the day,
however. was surprising, and before
evening there was very little resem-
blance to be seen in the depleted shelves
and half-empty stalls to the gayly
decked and handsome show of the pre-
viOuS days.
1t was a cosmopolitan crowd which
thrOnged the grounds at Hamline for
the past eight days. Every state and
territory on the continent has been rep
resented on one day or another, and all
seemed agreed that there was never a
more satisfactory exposition of the re-
sources of great state than this State
Fair has been. 1t has been beauty
exposition, as well as one of agricultural
merit. MinnesOta'S fairest daughters
have been seen on the grounds during
the last eight days, and the dear girls
enjoyed themselves as girls reared in
the clear. bracing air of this beautiful
Northern state know how to do. The
farmers daughters are the prettiest to
be found in any state in the Union, and
the attendance shown them by the city
bred brigade in high collars and tailor
made multi, showed that they rather
admired freckles than otherwise, espe-
cially when the latter are supplemented
by the bright laughing eyes and petite
forms which form the makeup of the
little maid from the farm. Society
bellies and country cOlleenS have
laughed at each others peculiarities and
wondered each at the others accom-
plishmentS so different from her own.
for whole week, have parted the best
of friends. with mutual invitations to
"spend week at the farm" and pay
US visit during the season."
Though no definite figures could be
obtained last evening regarding the
financial result of the fair, sufficient
number of facts were obtained to show
that there would remain after the pay
ment of all indebtedness handsome
margin for the association. In an inter-
view last evening with President Bush
nell. that gentleman stated that the
clear profit from all sources for the en-
tire term of the Fair would amount to
close on 81, 600, allowance of the widest
possible kind having been made for
future possibilities in the way of late
bills. This is most satisfactory
and encouraging showing. and the
managers of the tremendous machine
which has been in operation the past
week have reason to feel elated at the
result. Secretary Denny and Mr.. Cleve-
land, together with President Bushnell.
have been wide awake night and day
during almost the entire period Of the
Fair. and last night was the first OppOr-
tunity any of these gentlemen have had
TO take regulation snOoze. Despite the
press Of business he has had to contend
with, Mr.. Denny has been as urbane
as Ally Sloper's favorite FLY to all
corners; Mr.. Cleveland has been suavity
itself, and Mr.. Bushnell has not missed
even the smallest kind of a bet during
the entire Fair season.
Anoka county has already selected
ground for an exhibition building on
the fair grounds this fall. Several
other counties have representatives
looking over the ground. and the prob
ability is that a very lively building
boom will be inaugurated on the fair
grounds within the next two weeks.
In the main building, Allan G. Black
had on exhibition one of the Richmond
Stove company's Victor Steam Heaters.
The points of superiority of the Victor
over other heaters are that it is the
most economical, as it only requires six
tons of coal season to heat ten-room
house. 1t lis automatic in its regularity,
and requires no attention. The boiler
is of cast iron, which cannot burst. 1t
only uses one pail Of water in about two
weeks. 1t is certainly the best Heater
OF its kind ever shown in the North
west.
Among the numerous attractions at
the Fair the past week to interest and
please visitors was pavilion erected
by the ST. Paul Roller Mill company of
sacks of their celebrated flour, The
Orange Blossom" 1t is indisputable
that the Touring mills of Minnesota
have done more to extend the fair fame
of our state than all other industries
COMPANY is not behind the rest. but
spares neither money nor pains in keep
ing before the world the fact that Min
nesota maintains the proud distinction
of being the banner wheat-producing
state of the Union.
The Orange Blossom Pavilion"
erected on the Fair grounds by Mr..
Kingsland Smith, the enterprislng pro-
prietOr of these mills. attracted the at
tention of the thousands OF visitors at
the Fair. and certainly speaks volumes
for the company. The pavilion" is
beautifully decorated with flowers and
bunting and is surmounted by flag
staff and banner, bearing the lnserip-
ton, Orange Blossom Pavilion" This
novel structure is constructed of the
"Orange Blossom" and RED Cross"
brands OF flour. On the interior is
large showcase containing delicious
specimens of bread and cake made from
the -four. A baker is kept busy max
ing graham gems from the Orange Bios
som graham -four and distributing them
among the multitude of visitors.
In addition to the regular pavilion
Mr., Smith has erected separate dis
play in the form of a pyramid of flour.
The structure is about fourteen feet
high, and is made of sacks Of Orange
Blossom and Red Cross flour.
This years crop of wheat is the best
we have ever ground" said Mr.. Smith
to reporter. Much OF 1t tests sixty
two pounds to the measured busnel,
while last year the bulk of the wheat
raised in Minnesota and Dakota tested
only about fifty-five pounds. The -four
made from this years crop is beauti-
full snowy white, rises well, and has
delicious. sweet flavor" These facts
will be gratifying to the people of the
Northwest, among whom the Orange
Blossom and the Red Cross brands of
-four are immensely popular.
The company represented by Mr..
Kingsland Smith, the enterprising man.

credit upon themselves in erecting these
novel structures, and the many thou
