fair, and nearly all of them showed EVIL
dences of success in other state fairs.
The exhibit of Kentucky jacks was in
tereSting because IT was unique. The
exhibit comes from Iowa and has not
been seen here before,
In the cattle pens are some monster
beef cattle and the exhibit of sheep and
swine is greater than in any previous
years There are several new classes
in each OF these exhibits and some
sheep competition. Yesterday the ex-
tremely pOrtly pig and the particularly
woody sheep were inclined to doze after
their journey from home but they will
be awakened this morning, when the

MANY COUNTIES COMPETE.
Agricultural hall was in process OF
preparation yesterday. st. Louis coun-
ty has the place of honor In the en-
hibit. The head of the lakes county
has the space directly opposite the
principal entrance to the hall and one
Is at once caught by the mountain or
iron ore that forms one of the bases
of the exhibit. The ore is shown as 1t
lays in the ground with a superimpo7-
ed bed OF clay. The pile almost hides
the rest of the building and one has TO
go around 1t in order to have a look
at the agricultural produce that fills the
other county spaces. st. Louis has a
fine showing Of the product Of the farm
and orchard, as we'll as of the mineral
products, and the exhibit was more
nearly ready for inspection than of the
other counties.
Isanti county, always we'll taken care
OF, was also very nearly ready for en-
hibtion and is very strong in melons
and fruits this year, in addition to the

change IN the character and pursuits of
the people OF the newer c0unties was
demonstrated in the Aitkin county ez-
hibit. Three years ago AitlIin showed
for the last time and Manager Lott ana
Wallace Barker were then particularly
proud of the exhibit of things indlgen-
Gus to the soil. They had fruits and cat
fish and moose heads and that sort OF
thing in plenty. but no grains or
grasses to speak Of. Now they have
the product Of the river and the forests
in plenty but they are backed up by q
very fine showing Of grains and
grasses. The exhibit will be in place
by today, and it tells an interesting
story Of development, as do the en-
hibits Of most of the newer counties
The state exhibits Of produce was noe
in position Yesterday, but will be to-
day, and Steele, Clay, Carlton and the
other counties will be ready to receive
visitors this morning.
The exhibition Of agricultural machin-
cry is larger and more complete than it
ever was. Hitherto there has beer
some sort Of understanding among the
manufacturers that did away with ac-
tive competition. This year the ex-
hibitors are independent and there Is
evidence Of this in the extent and
variety of the exhibits All of the shecs
were full Of machinery yesterday ana
VX-ad Hv fCT
sired it, but it will not be generally
used until this morning.
In the dairy building there are things
Of interest, not alone for the farmer
and butter maker, but for everybody
else. The buttermallers have prepared
an exhibit that is not only edifylng TO
those directly interested, but which Is
worth the attention OF anybody. There
are monuments carved in butter with
all the cunning Of works of art A
large monument that fills one Of the
refrigeratOrs is really a fine piece of
work, showing as relief the important
events Of the late war and the medal
lions Of the heroes of the war.
The poultry exhibit is not any larger
than 1T was last year, but 1t is much
more interesting, owing to the greater
variety in the class of featherei BIZ
peds. The building is always a favor
ite with the children, as we'll as with
those who are interested as BREEDERS
ard it was well filed with sightseers all
day yesterday.
Spread around about and b.tween
the buildings are attractions innu!nera-
BILE, and the grounds are thoroughly
we'll policed and cared for. Most Of
the visitors yesterday made a trip to
the old camp ground OF the volunteers,
and there was much interest manifest
ed. even in the place where the men
had soldiered for a short time. Scat
tered about everywhere were the usual
refreshment booths, many Of them be-
ing under the direction Of the ladies Of
various church societies.
The Jobbers' union was one Of the
local institutions that was ready to
receive visitors yesterday. Secretary
Townsend was in charge Of the build
ing owned by the union, and there were
| servants on hand to attend to the
wants Of callers. The building offers
an inviting place to those who want
to escape from the crowd for g. rest.
