chinery placed therein. While some
were disappointed in not seeing the
various contrivances at work, they
can satisfy their curiosity today and
until the close of the week.
Hon. John L. Gibbs, of Freeborn,
was prominent in the crowd at one
time or another, accompanied by his
daughter He was not disturbed by
the suppressed exclamations in which
men who knew him told others who
did not, that he is a leading candi-
date for the Republican gubernator-
ial nomination. Mr.. Gibbs is of that
class who devote nearly all of their
time to the farm and stock displays,
for purposes of study and compari-
son, because he manages a large
farm himself. And there were hum
dreds more just like him, quiet, OBJ
servant, self-reliant men who have
taken an important part in the early
settlement and later development of
Minnesota.
Every one had a word of praise
or commentator for President Wea-
yer, Secretary Randall and the other
directing officers of the association.
Not a single detail seems to have
been overlooked in the preliminary
arrangements for the comfort Of
sightseers, except, possibly, in the
lack of seats about the grounds.
But want of funds is responsible for
this, and the blame cannot be laid
at the door of the managers. The

f1ector. Besides this principal illunin-
alton, from every window in the
vast building is hung an electric light.
The top row is red, the one below
of blue lights. These rows are the
same on both the Fourth and Sibley
street fronts. Altogether, the appear
ance is exceedingly pretty. The de-
Signer and constructor of this elab-
crate illumination is Julius Keller the
good-humored genius who for sixteen
years has managed the steam and
lighting plants of the house. He was
given carte blanche by the firm, and
has done them, as we'll as himself,
proud.
Gordon & Ferguson have decorated
the lower front of their store in
most attractive manner. All of the
iron columns along the lower story
have been covered with golden grain
in artistic profusion. There are also
feStoons of grain between the windows
and along the cornice, while, topping
the straw-colored columns, and rest
ing thereon, are a large number of
big pumpkins, each one containing a
light. When this front is lighted up
tonight, 1t will present a very hand
some appearance, topped off, as it is,
by scores of American flags fiuttering
from windows and corniceS.
Among the other houses Illuminated
and decorated so as to attract Spe-
cial attention were Bannon & Co, the
Golden Rule, which had an orchestra
stationed over the entrance, Neuman's
cafe, Schuneman & Evans, the Allan
tic & Pacific Tea company, YerXa
Brothers, Hays candy kitchen, which
had a colored mandolin orchestra

OF figures of children dainttIy dressed
IN the boys outfits kept in stock by
the house To add to the effect there
was a number of large plants and
other minor decorations. Then on the
outside were rows of white lights
along the fronts of the building that
mingled their rays with those of a
variety of colored lights arranged over
the entrance.
Field, Mailer & Co. had a pretty
illumination in the shape of a big
spinning wheel formed with white
electric lights. This was stationed
over the Sixth street entrance to the
store.
F. w. Tuchelts Sons had big cigar
formed with white electric lights, and
at the end were several red lights, rep
! resenting a lighted Havana.
In the show window of w. ]. Dyer
q Bro. was a Tyre formed by colored
lights, which gave a delightful effect
A beautiful piece-an anchor formed
by red, white and blue lights-hung
over the middle of Seventh street, be-
tween the California and Sterling wine
houses, it having been put up by the
two Jointly.
Browning, King & Co. had a nice
illumination in their show window. 1t
consisted of a variety of colored lights,
casting their blending rays over fine
display of clothing artistically ar
ranged.
A beautiful design hung over Sew
enth street at the corner of Wacauta.
1t was formed with a large sheaf of
grain decorated with colored electric
lights, and beneath hung an old-fash-
ioned reaping hook formed of red,
white and blue lights.
Lindeke, Warner & Schurmeier have
gone to great expense to decorate and
illuminate their building. The result,
however, amply justifies every dollar
expended. One solid blaze of vari-
| colored lights covers the corner front
of their building looking toward lower

scarcity of available money also pre-
vented the introduction of system
of water works and electric lights
that would add very greatly to the
pleasure and the comfort of the thou
sands who every year visit the beau
tiful grounds. However, if the pres
ent revival of prosperity continues
when the legislature meets again it
will doubtless provide means to pro-
vide these things. If electricity were
available for lighting purposes it
would be used not only to illuminate
but to beautify the buildings and the
displays within them. There is no
water to be had without rather long
journeys, or from supplies in private
buildings. But these things will
come in time, and when they do the
annual state fair will be looked for
ward to with even more pleasure
than it is at present.

ARRAY OF BRILL1ANcY.
ST. Paul Appears in a Blaze of
EIecfricity

ST. Paul Appears in a Blaze of
Electricity.
The business portion of the city was
one grand array of brilliancy last
night, especially along Seventh, Sixth,
Wabasha and Robert streets. On
almost every building of any conse-
quence was some kind of decoration,
many of them really beautiful. Some
of them had rows of white and colored
electric lights on the outside, others
In the show windows, while still others
had lines of colored arc lights ar
ranged in front and those that had no
lights did something in the way of
decorating with bunting, small flags
and Chinese and japanese lanterns.
To set off the illuminations and deco
rations, all the show windows were ar
ranged in the most artistic manner,
and under the glare of the lines of arc
lights put up by the city, the whole
presented a magnificent picture along
the line Of the streets named. On many
of the other streets there were some
neat individual decorations, but moth
ing was attempted in a general way
except down in the wholesale district,
where nearly every building was deco
of them had pretty illuminations with
colored electric lights and japanese
lanterns.
The finest individual displays were
made by the Boston Clothing house, on
Sixth street and the Plymouth Cloth
ing house on Seventh. Though many
of the other houses had elaborate dis
plays also, these two were so elegant
as to excite the admiration of every
one who came within view of them.
Around every window of the Boston
was a row of white electric lights,
while on the outside of the building
were two rows clean across each front,
one on the cornice and the other about
half way down. In addition there were
several beautiful designs in the show
windows, formed by variety of col
ored lights that were constantly
changing. Between the flashes of light
in one of these could be seen the out
line of a little girl, as If seen in the
inky darkness by the flashing of light
ming. Another piece was a revolving
star formed of red, white and blue
lights that were constantly flashing,
and still another was a windmill
formed with red lights. While a great
throng viewed these beautiful pieces
of art, band on a stand on the Sixth
street side discoursed a splendid pro-
gramfne of old Scotch and Irish popu-
Tar airs.
The. display in the Plymouth con-
sisted of variety of colored lights

of pea-green cloth that gave abeauti-
full effect, and below We're a number

Defender had gained a veritable vic

when asked as to the acci-
dent, looked aft grimly and said:
"Valkyrie's main boom tore away our

That was the extent of the information
to be had on Defender.
THE PROTEST.
1t was given out at the New York
Yacht club that the cup committee
would not render a decision in regard
to the protest before tomorrow. The
tug Walter Luckenbach, with the re-
gatta committee of the club, arrived
at the foot of East Twenty-sixth street
at 7:20 p. m. s. Nicholson Kane, chair
man of the committee, when asked in
regard to the alleged fouling of De-
fender by Valkyrie, said that pro-.
test had been entertained and that the
regatta committee had held a confer
ence in regard to the matter while the
tug was OIL her way to the dock, but
that no definite conclusion had been
arrived at. After the race, Commo-
dore Kane said the Luckenbach had
gone into the Horseshoe, where G.
Oliver Iselin went on board and spoke
to the members of the committee.
Lord Dunraven sent a note to Com
modore Kane at the same time. Com
modore Kane did not think that any
conclusion in the matter could be
reached by the committee tonight, but
expected it could be definitely settled
tomorrow morning. tl

A bicycle parade is totally unlike

better, but at all events she has had
