The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-08-01

Minneapolis is to have no Exposition
this fall. but preparations are already in
progress for the fair given under the aus
pices OF the State Agricultural Society on
the grounds at Hamline. The date fixed
IS the week beginning with Monday Sept.
~. Although not a great deal of noise has
been made over the event. Secretary Cross
and his assistants are busy with the prep
aratlons and are so anxious to get possess
sion of the grounds to put them In con-
dition for the fair that effort was made
on Friday last to head off the extension of
the running meeting for another 10 days.
1t was found, however, that the contract
between the Agricultural Society and tha
Jockey Club permits Mr.. Shaw to continue
his meeting until the 18th of August. The
fact that no fair held last year. and
that In the past two years remarkable
progress mas been made in the diversified
ton of farming in Minnesota, insures
very large exhibit in all the stock depart
ments. The Minnesota breeders are anx-
lous to bring their herds and studs together
for comparison and competition, and the
breeders from outside the state have found
in Minnesota so good a market for the
best strains that they are coming to the
fair despite the business depression. The
Iowa state fair is neld at Des Moines the
week preceding the fair. and Wisconsin
fair the week following. Applications have
been made from number of breeders who
intend to show at all three fairs.
One of the present anXieties of the man.
agement is that the dairy building will
prove insufficient for the display which Is
to be made. When it was erected it was
supposed that it would be ample for all
time. But in the past few years, and
particularly in the past two years. cream
cries and cheese factories have sprung up
at every cross road in the southern part
of the state in particular. The high rank
Minnesota butter took at the Worlds Fair
has stimulated interest and many farm
cd
rectly in butter and cheese making that
this department promises to be feature
of the fair.
Along the same line, and due to the con-
slant development of the state in the limo
of agriculture. comes the testimony from
the fam machinery men that there will be
a greater variety of farm implements
shown than ever. The Minneapolis Moline
Company has recently purchased the build
ing the grounds which was erected by
Mast, Buford & Burwell. This insures the
occupancy of all the buildings
Secretary Cross reports that he has al
ready received applications from some OF
the Minneapolis merchants and manufac-
turers who have heretofore shown only in
the Minneapolis Exposition, for space in
the main building a. the fair. Some OF
these exhibitors have expensive show cases
which the prospects are will not be used
again in the Exposition and for which they
want a place
Fair has already been set up in the main
building on the fair grounds and occupies
consd erable space The accession of Min
eapolis exhibitors is calculated to put space
in the hall of mechanic arts at a premium.
D. H. Moon, late of the firm of Allen.
Moon & Co., ST. Paul, has charge of this
department and during the present week
will put aside his personal affairs and de-
vote himself to his duties in connection
with the fair. He already is convinced
that his chief task will be analogous to
putting quart in a pint measure.
There will be the usual complement of
races for which liberal purses will be Of
fered. The entries for these will not
cease until the week before the fair. In
addition to these races there will be daily
balloon ascensions and unique feature is
balloon with a double parachute
jump. the aeronuts jumping from the two
balloons at a given signal. Other special
attractions are being arranged. 1t is ex-
pected that during the week men of nation
al reputation, representing the Republican.
the Democrat and the Populist parties will
be present and possibly deliver addresses.
There is no political significance in this
plan and if the men desired can be secured
the three parties will be impartialy given
a hearing.
Good Advice.
Populist exchange encourages the hosts
thus:
Never sit down with a tear in your mouth
Or sigh in your eye;
But with grit in your teeth
And hump on your back.
Buckle down to your load,
And make the fur fly"
