Bring to the fair your curiosities, wheth-
er natural or artificial, your inventions,
if you have any, your handiwork OF
such things as are useful, beautiful or
ornamental, and encourage others to do
the same. All these will add much to
the general interest and pleasure Of the
entire exhibition and give You the add
ed satisfaction Of having done what
you could to crown with success most
laudable and worthy enterprise.
1t has been suggested, not only as a
public convenience but as a profitable
and paying business, that some one run
a daily stage between NewUlm and Win
throp. Itis distance of only eighteen
miles and the passengers who are anx
ious to make trips to St. Paul without
throwing away FROM two to three
days and have no means of doing
so, could, if enabled to meet the ST.
Paul train at Winthrop, make the
running Of a stage to that place a pay
ing investment. The train for St
Paul leaves Winthrop at2 T. M. and ar
rives at st. Paul at o'clock. The re-
turn train reaches Winthrop at noon. A
man could therefore make the trip in
one day whereas it now takes two. The
difference in the fare is also large enough
to pay for the passage from Winthrop,
and we cannot see how business of the
kind suggested could fail.
An enthusiastic meeting of the man
ayers Of the fair association was held
last Friday afternoon and arrangements
were made for securing certain attrac-
tons. One Of leading features and one
that will draw as big i crowd as any
will be the appearance Of Prof. F. T..
Thompson, the celebrated aeronaut
of Quincy, III. He will be here on the
second day of the fair and perhaps on
the last. At any rate he will make two
ascensions and two parachute jumps
from a height of over 1000 feet. This
will be a sight never before witnessed in
Brown County and it should serve to
draw crowds from all parts OF the sur.
rounding country. Among the other
features will be a repetition of the art
gallery, which attracted so much atten-
ton at the exhibit of two years ago, and
the G.. A. r. reunion for Brown and
Redwood counties. This will be held
here on the first and second days of the
fair and the posts of Redwood Falls,
Lamberton, Springfield, Sleepy Eye and
New Ulm will attend. Besides these
there will be much else to see and we
would again urge everybody to attend
| the fair.
An unusually large and :,ppreciative
audience gathered at Turner Hall last
Thursday evening to listen to the popu-
lar Swedish Ladies Ocfette from Stock
| holm, and to say that those who attend
ed were pleased with the entertainment
is to say little indeed. From the first
appearance on the stage Of the bright
young ladies, dressed in the picturesque
