st. Paul, Sept. 7.-Minnesota's thirty
ninth annual fair opened under more
cheering and suspicious circumstances
than any of it's predecessors. Never
before has there been such complete
ness in all the arrangements on the
opening day, and never before have the
prospects for successful week been
fairer. Belated exhibitors there were,
as a matter of course; but in spite Of
the fact that the exhibition is nlarned
on q grander scale, the tardy displays
are fewer, and are scarcely noticeable.
visitors saw as much as they will on
the big days. Even the attendance,
which on opening day is limited on ac-
count Of the customary unprepared-
ness, was exceedingly gratifying.
ut will be the banner fair" declared
President Cooper, and Secretary Ran
dali and Col. Liggett gave fervent and
joyful amens. There was not a single
criticism Of complaint that the officers
of the fair could make, on any Of the
arrangements or displays, and they
fairly beamed with delight. Their
hardest work is already over, and they
will see in the large and happy crowds
that will throng the grounds the re-
ward for their painstaking and Jealous
efforts of two months past. Col. Lig-
gett says that the cattle display is the
finest and largest ever assembled in
Minnesota, and all know what that
means. In the horse barns there is a
more varied lot of animals, if not a
larger one than ever before. Numbers
have given way to quality, and some
OF the most splendid specimens of
~horseflesh that Minnesota and the sur
rounding states can produce are found.
OF sheep there are also more than
any previous fair has called out, and
there are breeds that have not been
shown here in the past, and Supt. Let
son is correspondingly elated. OF
swine there are just 275 entered, not as
many as last year, but enough proba-
bly, to satisfy even the bucolic visitors
whose enthusiasm is aroused by the
sight Of an aristocrat of the pig family.
Over 1000 chickens, ducks, geese and
turkeys are shown in the big poultry
hall, which is in the most beautiful
condition it has ever been.
The feature Of the afternoon was the
$bicycle tournament on the race course.
There were seven races, each of several
heats, and the cyclists were in great
glee over the feast. They grew quite
enthusiastic over the mastodonic ma
chine which carried ten riders and ac-
quired the speed Of a fast express
train.

Gen. Brooke and His Party Make.
the Journey to San Juan.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 7,-
Maj. Gen. Brooke and his staff have
completed two-thirds Of their journey
across the island towards this city.
The march has been like march
through friendly territory. On Sat
urday Gen. Brooke stopped at Cayey.
Sunday he reached Caguez, twenty
miles from here, and yesterday after
noon he entered Rio Pedras, one of the
ar1stocratic suburbs of San Juan,
where he will establish his headquar-
ters Gen. Brooke has accepted the
hospitality Of Capt. Gen. Macias, who
graciously offered him the use Of his
private residence at Rio Pedras. The
party, though small, is imposing and
is making deep impression. AS it
made its way through the hills, COW
8ered to their SUBMITS with coffee and
tobacco plantations, and through the
broad fields of the plains, Gen. Brooke
rode at the head of his staff. The in
habitants plainly indicated their
pleasure, although there were no dem
I onstrations. At intervals along the
way Spanish soldiers of the civil guard
presented arms as the Americans
passed. At ,Cayey and Caguas the
principal commanders received Gen.
Brooke with marked courtesies and
the alcaldes paid official visits, extend
ing welcomes to their towns. At Ca
guas, where a thousand Spanish regu-
lars are stationed under the command
Of Col. Rodriguez, the ceremony was
pretentious. The Spanish buglers gave
fiourishes in honor of major general
upon our approach. Houses had been
set apart for the accommodation of
Gen. Brooke and his staff. The in:
fantry and cavalry companies camped
on the outskirts of the town and were
visited by the Spanish soldiers. There
was no display whatever of ill feeling.
Spaniards and Americans mingled
freely, fraternizing and exchanging
buttons as souvenirs

Says There Is n misunderstanding
About His Criticism of Shafter.
New York, Sept. 7.-Gen. Pando was
feeling we'll at the Hotel America, and
for about two minutes he submitted to
an interview by newspaper reporters.
The first thing he had to say was that
misunderstanding had gone abroad
about his criticism Of Gen. Shafter He
declared that he thought Gen. Shafter
all able general, and he doubted if any
other man could have brought the
Santiago campaign to such speedy
close with such little bloodshed. Gen.
Pando also took occasion to deny the
story about his duel in Mexico. He
said he did not even know such per-
son as he had been represented as
fighting with. Gen. Pando will sail
tomorrow on either the Lain or the
Armdia. 49,. '@

r. Reports of Small Yields.
Chief Grain Inspector Clausen stated
recently that he believed the crops Of
the three great states would be the
largest ever raised. Threshing returns
show the grain to be of good quality,
and Mr.. Clausen thinks the proportion
Of No. / Northern and other good
wheat will be larger than usual.
There is much smut in the northern
sections, and it is generally reported
that the berries are small; but, alto
gether, the crop will be entirely satis-'
factory and far above the average. So
far, only shipments from southern sec
tons have been inspected, and the
grain has been only fair; but these mi
tial shipments furnish no criterion of
the prevailing grades. #&sss.
