the week United States Revenue Inspector
PIatt and deputy were on the grounds all

their displays from the buildings as soon as
possible to- guard against theft Last year one
of the buildings was broken into and 200
pounds of honey, exhibited by Wabasha coun-
ty man, was stolen. The fair Management eX-
ercises every precaution against burglary,
but cannot be held responsible for losses
from this cause.
George H. Whiting of Yankton, a member
of the South Dakota state fair board, was a
visitor at the grounds yesterday and reports
that the South Dakota fair will open in his
city next week. He was especially interested
in the arrangements made by the farmers
institute to accommodate people in tents on
the grounds, and he proposes to inaugurate
the scheme at Yankton.

Secretary Randall on the Event just
Closed.


The rain has, of course, interferred
with the attendance at the state fair
grounds the past two days; the receipts
are sufficient, however, to enable the
society to pay all it's bills. All pre-
miums, purses, labor accounts and eX-
penses of every nature will be paid in
full. In fact, there will probably be
a small balance left which can be used
for making improvements upon the
grounds and in painting and repairing
buildings, but this amount will be
much smaller than is needed, and much
smaller than it would have been had
the weather continued good. The only
weak spot of the fair was the weather;
the arrangements were all well made
and everything has gone off nicely.
The association endeayored to take
the best of care of the exhibitors and
employed every means to add to their
convenience, such as getting reduced
fl eight rates, looking up time tables,
furnishing advice, etc. They all seem
to appreciate this and are apparently
satisfied with the awards of premiums
for they all say they will come again.
The association has been more vigor-
Gus this year than ever before in fer
reting out the places where liquor was
sold on the grounds, and five arrests
were made. This seems to meet with
the general appro bation of the public,
and the law is very plain on this point.
1 feel safe in saying that there wasn't
a blind pig on the grounds but was
closed up by the police.
OF course, the association feels very
much pleased over the general result,
and it will be a safe prophecy that the
fair next year will be better and larger
than ever

The one-mile amateur event had fiji

contestants within the time limit of

The one-mile paced, flying start

Robert McCleary to establish a state
record. Previously there had been no
mark in this event. though c.. A.

This is now the state record.
The five-mile handicap amateur
event early developed into a team race
between the bunch with the big allow
arces and the scratch men E. Lee,
Minneapolis messenger boy, showed
great speed and endurance in the first
lot crossing the tape first twice in the
three miles, and only dropping back to
third place in the final sprint after a
hard struggle with Keller and Dow
ney, the former winning the race in

the paid attendance no othef Jay en-
ceeded 10000 and but one other day
reached that figure The largest rae
ing purses of the week were given on
that dav, the only omission being the
balloon ascension, which was prevent
ed owing to the destruction OF the pal
loon which was used for the Wednes-
day ascension. There was really no
other break or omission in the ehtlre
programme. which was not made up In
some manner.
Thursday night was showery, and
Friday morning opened with heavy
storm, and though the sun struggled
for an hour or two in the forenoon 10
peep out between the clouds, 1t hnally
gave up the contest, and a dflZZnns
cein followed all the afternoon. In
sDite of this 1000 people paid for ad-
mission on that day, which was the
highest compliment paid the fair dur
ing the entire week. 1t was necessary
to postpone one of the races owing
to the heavy track, but the race was
given on Saturday, so that 1t was not
lost to the public.
TO make up LOT the ulSdppOliiIlAN'A
caused by the rain on Friday, the man
agement presented a royal programme
yesterday. having all postponed events
added to the regular programme of the
| day. Heretofore, first and last days
have been SHINY attended, making the
fair while nominally a week, really
only in active work for four days. Thls
wear it was different, both first ana
last days showing excellent attendance,
one of the directors stating that the
crowd on the grand stand yesterday
afternoon, was greater than has ever
! before been seen on the last day OF the
| fair.
| And so, whether reviewing the record
! of the week in detail, or in the aggre-
| gate, there is every reason for con-
graduation and for state pride. The
| residents of the state generally can
| hardly realize the great resources OF
| this commonwealth, unless they have
seen one of these annual expositions.
, They deserve even more of the foster
| ing care of the state than is now eX-
| tended for they are the best immigra-
| ton advertisements which can be Sc
cured No Minnesotan can visit such
a state fair as has been held the past
week, without feeling glad that he IS
a resident of the state, and few from
abroad can witness it without desiring
to become one. 1t can be summed up
as a success from start to finish.

BEST THEY EVER Rad.
President Weaver Briefly Reviews

President Weaver Briefly Reviews
the Weeks Work.
So far as our show was concerned, it
was the best we ever had, taking it
through all the departments. 1t was
little early in the season for vegetables
and corn to get the best display of
them, but Notwithstanding that, the
county exhibits were all good and some
very fine. Some of the departments
were away beyond what we thought
was possible.
AS regards the managers, we feel
satisfied that we have done all we could
to make the fair a success, but we
could not control the weather. Finan-
cially the fair is a success but with
good weather Friday and Saturday we
would have had $4,000 to $12,G00 more
than we have now AS it is, every
award or claim will be paid in full.
So far as next year is concerned, the
fair association viii begin work imme-
diately and with the friendly feeling
of the exhibitors and patrons this year,
it should not be a difficult matter To
get up still better fair next year,
and [ lcok for an increased attendance.
IT seems to be an established fact ROW
that the fair association, together with
the entertainments given by the Twin
Cities can bring people enough into
this section of the country to make the
fair paying institution. We believe
we have shown more exhibits this year
than has ever been seen at any state
Fair
The association hopes to get the
ampitheatre, for which an appropria-
ton was asked of the last legislature,
and the necessity for this will be urged
at the next session. 1t will give x
ne,rTnanPrcy to the grounds and relieve
the association Of all the tents and
board shanties for the refreshment
privileges and would please every visi-
tor. 1t would also provide a place on
the interior Of it in which to show
stock and other features, not needed or
desired on the rare track.

LAST DAY OF THE FAIR.
Exhibits Kept in Order According
to- Promise.

Secretary RandalI'S statement that
the exhibits would remain in place I'M
til late in the afternoon was fulfilled
and yesterday the crowds were enabled
to inspect them in all their pristine
freshness and splendor. The attendants
at these displays were as courteous
and attentive as ever, the stock was
as neatly groomed as on the first day,
the hum of industry was still heard in
machinery hall, the fakirs and shouters
were as loud and energetic in midway
as eVer-the fair was at its best.
And then came the rush to the grand
stand.
A Bonheur or a Landseer would have
found inspirati for a gem of art in
the grand parade of blue ribbcn-be-
Gecked horses and cattle on the race
track, the first and certainly the lead
ing feature of the Afternoon. AS it was,
the Only encOmium bestowed upon this
display was the hearty cl6pping of the
daintily gloved har ds of the enthuias-
tic ladies ard the approving comments
of the critical men. as the pageant
slowly wendell its way around the
track headed by Watson's First
Regiment band, first came the maSni!i-
cent specimens of horse flesh, thu pranc-
ing stations, the lithe-limbed brood
mares, the heavy draft horses. the ela-
CANT naIcn6U teams lilS UilIliullNe
Shetland ponies and the tinid colts.
Then came the cattle, galaxy of
Jerseys, Durhams HerefOrds, Short
horns. Guernseys, Ayreshires and Gal
loways, an aggregation Of the finest
boVines in the stables. Each animal
was led by an attendant and each prize
winner was admired in turn as it was
escorted past the grand stand.
This was followed by the pacing and
bicycle races. both Of which classes OF
sport were as fine as ever seen on the
track. In the bicycle races, especially
did the interest center, and they We're
so warmly contested and the contes-
tants so closely matched, that as the
riders sped around the track, now one
in advance and now another, the eX-
element was at fever heat.
After the programme was completed,
the spectators again overspread the
grounds for a last f1eeting glance at
the scene, made doubly attractive be-
cause it was SO soon to vanish from
view, although it will long remain
fresh in the minds of those whose good
fortune it was to see it.

They Say of the
Event.

The state fair of 1897 has come and
gone In everything but the amount
of money received it has eclipsed all
previous records. OF &C Sc, prior t.
an exposition of that character, the
public is inclined to take with grains
of allowance much that is said of
what is to be; but, now that it is
closed, it is fair to consider what it
really was; therefore, in saying at this
that that it surpasses all previous
Minnesota state fairs it is simply an
nouncing the plain record which has
been made this week. Possibly some
departments may not have quite
equalled other years, but others great
ly excelled previous attempts, with the
result that the average was one of
which all may be proud. There were
nearly 5000 entries for money pre-
miums made in connection with all
departments of the fair, and large
number in addition not competitors
for financial prizes.
The following estimates and state
ments are made by Secretary Ran
dali and Treasurer Moffatt, the items
estimated being denoted by star:

MANDAMUS REFUSED.

The Virginia Court of Appeals has re-
fused the uandamus asked for by the
town of Strasburg, Va, to compel the
Winchester and Strasburg Railroad Com
pauy to run passenger trains into that
to Sn. Ia its opinion the court says:
"This company in 1870 leased its road
to the Baltimore and Ohio, which has
ever since operated it, and the lease will
not expire for a number of yeas More
than year ago the Baltimore and Ohio,
with all of its franchise, was placed IN
the hands of receivers by the United
States Circuit Court, who took possession
of the same. Their possession and cor
troll cannot be disturbed by any Other
court than the one which appointed
them. This is the established doctrine
of both the State and Federal Court.
"The record dlscloses the fact that it
the writ was awarded she court would
be powerless to make it effectual, which
constitutes an insuperable objection t.
granting it. ? Spelling on Ext. Relief

another equally cogent reason Is the
fact, as the testimony shows, that if th'
company were ordered to make the de
sired exte nsOn and construct its road t
Strasburg, is would be financially M
able to obey, and the writ of mandamus
would, on that account also prove IL
effectual."
