st. Paul. Sept 11.-It seemed a
most fitting thing that the venerable
Col. john ii. Stevens should open the
thirty-!if,h annual Minnesota state
fair. For fifty years lie has been iden-
titled with the agricultural interests
of the state. aud he is perhaps the
Oldest man in the group OF MinnesO-
tans who have taken particular in
tcrcst in the development of the re-
sources of the state in farm and field.
As on ever: olclliE. day. the most con-
spicuous sights about the fair grounds
We're the heavily loaded wagons ar
rivilg with goods tor display, the ex-
hibitors arranging their spaces, and the
fair officials hustling to accommodate
every one and urging haste and a
greater display of energy upon the
tarly ones. And as Il rule. every thing
was moving briskly. The cool north
wind swept across the grounds and
nlltlc it decidedly uncomfortable for
idlcrs. Secretary w. Il. Cross. with
an Overcoat buttuned up to his chin,
and the packets bulging with exhibit
orS' tickets. was made too busy to ill.,
dul.e in conversation, hut assured tile
newspaper men that everything was
lovely. and that il was certainly to be
III" best fair the state had ever seen.
And the sctlrtary's enthusiastic claim
seems to he pretty we'll borne out by
the facts III sight. Notwithstanding
the incomplctcness Of opening day, it
was casy to sec, from what was al
ready OH the ground that in all that
goes to make up the true elements of
state fair, the display. when rounded
out tomorrow, will be exceedingly
crclitablc to the fair managers and to
the state. The state at large has had a
fair amount of rain this summer, ana
fruits, grains and vegetables will show
as we'll as i'll any year, while the horses
and cattle are :ls sleek us if drouth had
