Yesterday was st. Paul's day at the
State Fair and st. Paul was there very
largely. Early in the morning the
Hamline and st. Anthony Park cars
began to do land Office business and
they kept it up all the day long. 1t was
estimated that fully 27,OoO people were
on the grounds during the day. Beside
what the cars brought out there was a
large number of private carriages, and
other equipageS out in style. The day
was warm despite the chilly wind, and
the grounds we're dusty, but the people
didn't mind that. and all day long they
,tramped around seeing nearly every
thing that was on exhibition.
Somehow yesterday forenoon the
stock came in for its share of admira-
ton, and till long past the noon time
the barns were crowded with sight
seers, who took keen interest in look
ing at the splendid animals. 1t Is hard
to tell which was most admired, the
horses, cattle, sheep or hogs, as each
class was so finely represented that no
one could fail to admire it.
The Horse Exhibit
Is excellent, and some remarkably fine
Norman, Percheron. Shire and coach
horses are on exhibition. In this
department everything is represented
from the majestic Norman horse, with
his wide flaDks, great, heavy shoulders,
tushy tail and name, to the diminutive,
meek-looking little Shetland colt that
stands in dreamy, ,half-leaning position
in it's stall.
Likely the most interesting and ap-
parently the most active of all the
horses are the French, German or
English coach horses, when are ac-
tivity. style and beauty personifed. so
far as horse flesh goes. They are strik-
ingly handsome in all respects. being of
a good size, fine color and splendid
action. They are the ideal horse for
smart turnouts. In the cattle depart
ment there are several excellent ex-
hbits of blooded cattle. Shorthor rs.
Polled. Aberdeen Angus are prominent,
and are remarkable for their size and
their splendid condition.
In the various halls the people found
their afternoons pleasure as they saw
many things of interest. In the arts
hall the two worlds fair exhibits of
Minnesota Woods
and grains, which are now OH exhibition
at the Fair. To many these exhibits
are of unusual interest, and it is doubt
full if many people had any idea of the
beauty of Minnesota woods till they saw
them put into this beautiful and endur-
ing form.
The cereal exhibit Is fine, and 1t Is as
much of a wonder to some Minnesotians
as the exhibit was a revelation to
thousands who saw it at Chicago. All
sorts and varieties of grains are shown,
and with these great variety of soils
found in the various counties of the
state.
The state experiment farm has very
fine exhibit of grapes, many of them
being new varieties, which are brought
to splendid state of perfection and
beauty. There is splendid bunch of
Concord grapes which weighs over
twenty ounces.
During the afternoon Seibert's orches-
ira gave an excellent concert in the
main building, that was listened to by
large concourse of people. These
concerts will be given daily till the close
of the fair.
There were many additions to the in
terror of the hall In the way of exhibits,
So that the hall is looking quite we'll.
