ening out before the visitors are adj
mitted. Many thousand people from
the various walks of life visited the
buildings yesterday and the opinion
was expressed that never before had
there been larger or mores diversified
display than that of the present.
Visitors were permitted to wander
through the buildings at will until the
crowd became too great, when the doors
were closed. The superintendent of
the different divisions spent the day on
the grounds, and before nightfall all
those who had made entries were as
signed space and the live stock was all
comfortably housed.
In the main building ali was activity.
Sunday was for the time forgotten, the
sole idea being to get ready for opening
day. One of the most effective displays
is the imitation of Minnehaha falls set
up for the Great Northern road under
the direction of Inspector Purvis. EX-
hibits were put in place in the main
building yesterday by the st. Paul Har-
ness company, the Plymouth Clothing
house. the North Star Wooden Mill
company and Lathrop Mussetter, of ST..
Paul.

plete transformation yesterday, and
now presents decidedly attractive APP
pearance with its fruits, flowers and
vegetables. The headquarters of the
state horticultural society have been
located in the south end of the building,
and are cleverIy decorated. Adjoining
this is tile Stevens county display, which
is being prepared by a committee of
ladies from Morris, headed by Mrs. HI.
S. Judson. The display will contain
pantry exhibit, which embraces pre-
serves, pickles. bread, cake, butter,
cheese and honey. This county won
second honors last year, and this year
will be satisfied with nothing less than
first prize.
The balance of this building is filed
with exhibits of flowers, fruits and veg
etaDleS. Near the depot is the Ke-
vance

unlimited pleasure to the children as
well as to many of the grown folks.

the scene. The newspaper buildings

in shape today for the reception OF
guests.

were practically completed yesterday,
and include the premium winners from
La Crosse. where the fair has just come

implements, and mowers. reapers, bind
erS and hay loading machines stand side
by side to be admired by progressive

The boys at the dairy building an
nounced with some pride last night that
their display was all ready, ana cred
liable showing 1t made. Two special
exhibits have been gotten up for pre-
NUNS, and the other attractive features
should make the dairy building the
center of much interest. A picture of
Nancy Hanks adorns display of prize
butter, which julie Lawrence says will
win blue ribbon. This year special
medals will be presented to the makers
