the fishing appliances of all ages are
shown, and in every known variety.

that the booth is a complete refrigerator

The grapes and plums are especially
fine, and in small berries the fruit in

been postponed to June 5, bnt the
Editors would not consent to be de-
priveI of the privilege and the enjoy
ment they bad come so far to take part
in."
One of the commissioners explained
that it was chiefly owing to the fact that
Gov. Nelson. the state officials and other
prominent citizens whose presence is
desired, could not be present at this
time, that the pOStponement was agreed
upon. Asked whether the date fixed by
the commission would, in view of the
programme carried out yesterday, still
be observed. he said:
81 think it will. You see the building
must be formally turned over to the
state through our governor before it
can be said to be properly and apDro-
priatelY dedicated. But we could not
afford 10 stand out against the editors
and prevent them doing what they have
done. However, it is all right. There
are no hard feelings on the part of any
one. and the affair today has been of the
most felicitOus character"
From 10 to II o'clock general recep-
ton was held. during which time the
visitors took occasion to lock through
and inspect the structure. All seemed

itself credit.
The programme was opened with
prayer, after which Oscar l.. Lienau, of
St. Paul, sang solo. Franklyn w.

johnson made the presentation speech,
formally turning the building over to
the state of Minnesota. 1t was accepted
by Senator Henry Keller in a few bright
remarks. Short addresses were also
made by F. j. Mead, Senator j. W.
Craven. Representative 5. A. Langum,
Mrs. F.W. Lee. II. p. ball, ID. Ramaley,
and Messrs. La Due, Ward, Lamphere,
Hunt and Castle. Mr.. Castles talk was
witty and brilliant. Among other
things he said:
"This will be the only dedication of
this building. If the commissioners
come down here June they will not
get together half as many people as
there are now assembled in this room,
and if they do they will not represent
the intelligence and the energy and the
enterprise of the state of Minnesota
nearly as well as we do. No body Of
citizens are so we'll qualified to dedicate
this building TO the Worlds Columbian

Then Mrs. Oscar l.. Lienau, of st.

| CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-One of the very
best exhibits on the ground is the
! Northern Pacific exhibit of the interests
of the seven states through which it
passes. 1t is found in the transportation
/ building, and consists OF two lace
cars specially built and arranged for
the purpose. They have bay windows
of plate glass, and the leading statistics
of the several states are given in panels
on the outside of the car, while the
| products are displayed within. The
animals are also shown in sufficient
number to add variety. The grains and
grasses. iron and timber, and the man-
ufactured products of Minnesota, as the
/ initial point of the road, are given spe-
clal prominence. AS many as 5000
people daily visit this exhibit.
One only needs to go into the trans
portation building to realize that here
are some OF the grandest attractions of
the fair. The Baltimore 81 Ohio, for
instance, shows the evolution of the
! railroad-trackS. engines and cars from
the first idea of steam transportation by

display, in the agricultural pavilion, is

shown in the building devoted to liberal
arts and manufactures. Prof. Wilson
has charge of the exhibit. The Mime
sofa system of education embraces the
university, colleges. normal schools, de-

! primary schools. Booths are assigned
to each interest. and the work of each is
illustrated by specimens of the pupils
