.Ota.e state Fair Away Ahead
OF It's Predecessors.
st. Paul, Sept. g. The best fair Min
nesota has seen was the universal ver-
dict among old times who visited the
state fair grounds at Hamline yester-
Jay. There were not only exhibits
galore, but the number that were in
place and ready to be seen was I'M
precedented. Everywhere, from the
general office building, near the east
entrance. to the last stock barn on the
west side. there was business and per-
rect order combined. The arrange
ments We're complete in every particu-
lar before the show opened. The spe-
clal attractions OH the grounds are said
to be good this year. The management
has made every effort to eliminate
fakes and "sclls."
NO better indication Of the superiori-
ty OF the present fair over it's predeces-
sors can be gained than by comparing
the list of entries this year with those
OF last year. The fair Of 1893 exceed
ca in the number and quality of exhib-
Its any of it's predecessors, and it is in
turn surpassed by the fair of 1890, ex-
ceptlng alone the sheep department.
There are fewer. entries in that de-
partnent than there were in 1893. but,
on the other hand. there are more
sheep in the barn. each exhibitor MAX
ing a larger showing than was made
last year. and the quality of the ex-
nlDlts are better than last year. The
total number of exhibits this year is
900. as against 1867 a year ago, a
gain for 1899 of 1891. 1t is but natur-
al, of course, that in a state like Min
nesota the agriculturists should show
the largest gains. They have a total
OF SIG entries this year as against AL
IN 1S9s, a gain Of 465. Cattle entries
show the next largest gain. The num-
Der of entries in this department is S25
as against 536 last year, gain of 2S9
for his year. The horticultural depart
ment stands way mp in the number of
e:tries. ard is also high in the list of
