GREAT HORSE SHOW
Big Purses Brought Out Ex-
ceiIent Entries


The $4,000 in purses hung up by the
fair society for premiums for entries
in the various horse classes resulted in
bringing together an excellent display
in this important department of the
fair.
But for the fact that the ST. Louis
horse show opened on the same date
that our fair did," said j. Curryer, SUI
perintendent of the horse division, I'VE
would have had thousand entries.
AS it was our list of entries ran better
than 400, almost as many as last year,
when we did not have the st. Louis
fair as a strong competitor
THE saddle class this year was better
than ever before, entries being made
by Missouri, Iowa and Kentucky own
ers as we'll as by Northwestern breed
efS and owners. The show of drafts
was highly satisfactory, when we con-
slider the st. Louis competition, and
in Percherons, Clydes, Shires, Bel
gians, French Coach and Hackneys no
better display has ever been seen in
the Northwest. The trotting and light
carriage horse classes were we'll filled,
state horses being, for the most part,
shown.
"The horse industry in this state is
growing with rapid strides, and the
state fair is doing its part in encourag-
ing the breeding of better animals by
the farmers of the state. In judging
the animals in our department sound
ness was the first prerequisite, and no
matter how snowy an animal might be
it stood no chance with the judges II
it could not meet the test as to sound
ness"

Old SETTLERS BUSY
Pioneers TO Secure Many Relics
for Society

The state fair this year has revived
interest in the Minnesota Territorial
Pioneers and their log cabin on the
fair grounds. While the general at
tendance has been by no means limited
to the pioneers who came to Mime
sofa prior to 1S5S,no less than 746 heads
OF families eligible to membership in
the society registered at the building
during the week, and George H. Haz-
card, secretary of the society, saws that
this falls far short of including the
total of the territorial pioneers who
called at the log cabin during the fair,
for scores of the Minnesota men who
conquered the wilderness failed to reg
lister
A number of valuable relics were
presented ID the society during the
week and more were promised. while
a movement was started which will
result in giving to the society oil paint
ings of a number of prominent pie-
neerS.
A painting of Col Colville, the IA
nous hero of the First Minnesota at
the memorable Gettysburg charge, will
be presented by survivors of the First:
the Eighth plans to present a portrait
OF Gen. Thomas, and the Seventh will
add the portrait of Gov. Marshall to
the collection. A fine painting. hand
somely framed, of the late John S..
Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, will be given
by his surviving children.
The society has the first piano
brought to the state and member of

WITH THE PATIENTS
Fair Hospital Cares for Many
During Week

The emergency hospital, conducted
by the Minneapolis Women's Medical
society, contributed in no small meas
ure to caring for the necessarily large
number ofpersons who fall i'll during the
excitement and fatigue incident to the
gathering of quarter of a million Of
people inside the period of a week.
Up to 6 o'clock last night a total Of
151 cases had been treated at the
emergency hospital. By far the greater
number of those receiving attention
were persons who had succumbed to
sick headache and nausea.
A number of the hospital beds were
occupied yesterday, one patient being
military guard who had been station
ed during the week in the poultry
building. He was sure that the rather
evil smell rising from the collection of
fowl had sent him. to the hospital, but
the doctor who attended him said it
was simply a case of nervous exhaus-
ton. A girl in the laughing gallery of
the pike was another patient. but was
not SO sick that she could not accom-
pany the show on it's departure early
this morning for Council Bluffs Jockey
Buck Mccain, thrown from his mount
in the novelty race on Friday, was able
to leave the hospital Saturday morn
ing. His injuries were confined to ex-
ternal bruises.

The judicial Mind

A traveller stopped at the gate of a
fine country mansion, and said to a
grave looking person smoking on the
porch:
'Sir, will you be good enough to tell
me If this is the road to Cowburg?,'
1t is" was the reply.
"And may inquire the distance?"
Ten miles,
The traveller thanked him and passed
on. Several hours later he returned
and the grave looking person was still
there, smoking.
Sir" said the traveller, .you must
be aware that eight miles from here on
the Cowburg road is river, which it is
impossible to swim, and which has
neither ford, ferry, nor bridge. Why did
you not tell meg"
1.-The matter was not before me-" re-
turned the other. As to your ability to
cross river of that kind I was entirely
willing to hear argument"
The grave looking man was judge.

CATTLE EXHIBIT
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Dozen States Sent Finest BIooded
Stock to Fair

"The greatest exhibition of cattle
that has ever been seen anywhere"
This is the way in which Col. w. M.
Liggett, manager of the cattle exhib-
its in connection with the live stock
show at the Minnesota state fair, ex-
pressed himself on the showing made
this year.
With $4,000 hung UP in prizes as an
inducement to competitors, there were
over 400 entries in this department.
They came from dozen states and
represented the finest blooded stock in
the world. The advantages Of the eX-
hibit, which will be of lasting effect in
Minnesota and the northwest, will come
from the sale Of nearly forty of the
finest animals exhibited for breeding
purposes.
Included in the list of cattle exhib-
tied were seventy-fve Herefords and
fifty-seven Shorthorns, and these were
universally conceded to be the finest
types of their breeds ever exhibited.
Many of the animals shown at the
Minnesota fair will remain here for
several days and will then be taken to
ST. Louis, where they will be a part of
the live stock exhibit at the worlds
fair.

TOTS ADMIT FREE.
Five Thousand Enjoy Last
Chiidren's Day

Believing, in accordance with a for
mer custom, that Saturday was Chill,
dren's day, and that they would be adj
mitted to the grounds free of charge,
crowd of nearly 5000 little ones pre-
scented themselves at the entrances of
the state fair grounds at an early hour
yesterday morning and clamored for
admittance. They were told that no
provision had been made for Children's
day this year, and from eager expecta-
ton to AFFECT despair and disappeint-
ment the feelings of 5000 tots were
changed in a trice.
For few minutes every gate AND
turnstile leading to the fair grounds
was blocked by sorrowful mob of
youngsters who seemed at loss to
know what to do. 1t was trying sit
uation for the guards and gatekeepers,
and Secretary Randall was Immediate
ly communicated with. The only solu-
ton of the difficulty seemed to be to
allow the children to enter the grounds,
and accordingly the gates were thrown
open to them.
President Cosgrove announced, how
ever, that hereafter this custom will be
done away with.

ST. PAUL DRILL TEAM
WINS At THE FAIR
Minnehaha Camp No. GA,
Modern Woodmen, Defeats
Mil City Squads

Not the least among the many at
fractions at the fair yesterday in point
of general interest was the competi-
tive drill between teams representing
the fraternal orders of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis And it was q matter of
satisfaction to the thousands present
from this city to see a st. Paul team
carry off first honors. The prize was
awarded to Minnehaha Camp No. 674,
Modern Woodmen of America, in COM
mand of Capt. Ralph L. Slocum.
Although it had been expected there
would be a larger number of entries
only three teams entered in the com
petitive drill These We're Minnehaha
camp of st. Paul and Longfellow camp
and the Flour City camp of Minneapo-
lis, all representing the Modern Wood
men,
Sixteen men composed each team in
addition to the commanding officers.
The drill ground was in the Enclosure
in front of the grand stand. Capt. Nc
Glachlin, Capt. Morrow and First Lieut..
Brewer, all of the Twenty first infan-4
try stationed at Fort Smelling, acted as
judges of the contest.
Instead of guns, the competing teams
ooCd 0ACo, dllu tilt luGu were put
through the regulation army move
ments and many fancy maneuvers were
also executed. In their gay uniforms
the teams presented novel spectacle
as they marched and executed the
manual Of arms.
The showing made by Minnehaha
camp of st. Paul was FAR superior to.
that made, by the Minneapolis teams
and the announcement of the judges
came as no surprise to those in the
grand stand who watched the drill with
inexperienced eyes. The men moved
in line with the precision of regular
army soldiers and were paid a high
compliment by the judges, who ex-
pressed themselves as surprised that
members of a fraternal organization
should take sufficient interest in mill
tary drill to attain such a. degree Of
proficiency.
Capt. Ralph L. Slocum and his squad
representing Minnehaha camp left last
night for St Louis, where the men will
participate in the competitive drills
which are to be held this week in the
worlds fair grounds. Teams represent
ing Modern Woodmen camps from all
the principal cities of the country are
entered in the contest, but from the
showing made yesterday by Minnehaha
camp it is safe to predict that the ST.
Paul crowd will be among the leaders
when the scores are computed.

care for exhibits, and huge piles of pa
per which fluttered here, there and ev-
erywhere was all that remained of the
nultitudes that during the day had
gurged through the aisles in countless
numbers
The monotonous refrain of the me-
rhanical organ, the hoarse calls of the
barker and the chatter of the crowd
had been displaced by the sound of the
hammer and AK, the thud of falling
tent poles and the swish of folding can
vas
Everywhere until early this morning
was busy life as immense vans loaded
with equipage passed slowly down the
main avenue, while the work CT the
wreckers progressed. And as the pro-
cession moved, tired even as they were,
the toilers who for week have labor
ed against fearful odds, expressed re-
greet that it was over, but pleasure that
it had been a success.
Until another year the great Mime
sofa state fair was ended.

BIG FAIR GOES OUT
]. IN BLAZE OF GLORY
Continued From Eleventh Page

in the women's building. without any
suggestion of ventilation and with but
Indifferent light, the exhibit of the
Minnesota Society Of Fine Arts was
crowded during every day of the week.
Friday, all day long, the little room
was packed to suffocation, and men
and women called at the exhibit for
the third or fourth time before being
able to gain an entrance and inspect
the product of the Northwestern art
lists.
The members of the society hope to
be given building separate from any
other department for the next fair, and
will base their claims to this recogni-
ton largely on the evident interest and
pleasure given the thousands during
the fair of 1904.

PIKE is POPULAR
WITH FAIR CROWDS
Promoters of Shows Satisfied With At
tendance and Would Come Again

Approximately $1,000 people saw the
pike during the week of the fair. With
good weather, the pike promoters esti-
mate that not less than 10000 would
have given UP their dimes inside the
pike fence to see the various shows.
With sixteen attractions, and all but
three charging admission fees, the Gas
kill Carnival company took away quite
a sum Of money. Tuesday was the
best day for the pike, despite the fact
that the attendance on that day fell
$4,000 short of Fridays attendance. The
pike people last night said they were
more than satisfied with the Minnesota
fairs attendance and their share of
the proceeds. and hoped to make con-
tract for another year. The show
opens Monday morning at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, where a merchants car
nival will be given next week.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
LANDS TWO HUNDRED
Arrests at the Fair Are Mostly DRINKS
and Small Boys

The police department at the fair
during the week made about 200 ar
rests. Most of the offenses were for
drunkenness and introducing liquor to
the grounds, though there were many
arrests of boys for scaling the fair
grounds fence and attempting to beat
the gatekeepers. The police court, OPP
Grated in connection with the station
in the north end of the grand stand,
collected approximately $500 in fines.
There was no attempt by pickpockets
to work during the week, and not u
single arrest was made for any serious
misdemeanor. The improved facilities
for loading people ON the street cars
at the gates are credited with diminu-
ton in pickpocket operations, for the
crowds were by no means so congest-
ed at any given points as under the
old system, and there was less oppor-
tunity for the crooks to work success
fully.

WORKMEN PREPARE
FOR THE GETAWAY
Exhibits Are Loaded on Cars and go to
Wisconsin Fair

Workmen began last night on the
task of loading the FLOODED cattle and
horses, machinery exhibits and indus
trial displays and many of the best fea-
lures of the Minnesota fair for ship
ment to Milwaukee.
The Wisconsin state fair opens Mon
day at Milwaukee and quite per-
centage of the live stock, including
many of the fastest trotters and PAGERS,
have been entered at the Milwaukee
show. Several cars of the best b1ooded
stock will be shipped today to st.
Louis. where the animals are entered
in the big stock show.
This was the controlling reason for
the decision, made on Thursday night,
not to attempt to extend the Minnesota
fair into next week. The fact of en-
tries made elsewhere made the pro-
posal not to be entertained.

Wind Up Week at Fairs With Big
Evening Reception

The Maccabees' booth, located across

Territorial Pioneers, was the scene of
a largely attended reception last night.
,F'raternal day was generally observed
and thousands of men with different
varieties of grips and an infinite num-
Der Of secret society insignia crowded
the grounds yesterday. Their Mecca
was the Maccabees' building last night,
where the Bees extended the hand of
fellowship to the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias, Elks and nearly
every order represented on the
grounds. There was a musical and
literary programme during the evening.

Same Old Story

Once upon time there was a coal
strike. Because the miners all quit
work there was a great shortage of
coal, and because of this shortage the
price of coal went up.
Then the miners went back to work
and produced so much coal that in a
little while there was enough to sup
ply everybody.
But the price of coal never went
back to the figure that prevailed be-
fore the strike.
Once upon another time there was a
strike of employees of the packing
houses. Because the butchers all quit
work there was a great shortage of
meat, and because of this shortage
the price Of meat went up
Then the butchers went back to
work and
Even Kipling cannot say this is
another story. If we~wait awhile we
shall probably see that it is the same
old story.-Brooklyn Eagle.

FAIR HELD EARLIER
TO AVOID CONFLICT


Big Meet Advanced One Week and Se-
cure i ST. Louis Exhibits
The fair this week was held a week.
earlier than commonly, because of the
fact of the stock show at the st. Louis
exposition. The st. Louis show opens
on Monday, and had the Minnesota fair
been held next week the cream of the
blooded stock would have been shown
at st. Louis and Minnesota would have
been cut out. The fact that the st.
Louis horse show was held simultane-
ously with the Minnesota state fair
injured the number of entries in the
horse classes but the conflict with the
cattle department would have resulted
more seriously than in the horse di-
vision.
President Cosgrove announced yes
terday that the state fair next year
would be held a week later in the sea-
son than the 1904 fair.

HOLDS INTEREST TO END

"Minnesota's fair is six-day
fair," said President Cosgrove
Last night as he watched from a
box in the grand stand the dis -.
play of fireworks, following fine
programme of vaudeville fea-
lures. "No one can say after this
Sey;s programme, in which we
crowded two and half days
events into one on the race track
and every feature of the week
was continued up to 1o:30 o'clock
tonight, that Saturday is one
whit less attractive than the pre-
aceding days. The Minnesota fair
is one of the few state fairs in
the country that keeps up the in
.terest to the finish"

End of the White City
ALL BILLS WILL BE PAID

The fair was an unqualified
success from every standpoint
except the weather, which natu-
rally reduced the attendance.
The receipts were about $4,000
short Of last years money,
whereas ! believe that with good
weather the gate receipts would
have been considerably in excess
-of the proceeds of the fair of
1908.
= The attractions in front of the
grand stand were high class and
high priced, and the attendance
in the grand stand was relatively
larger than ever before. Despite
an increase of about $4,000 in
premiums, $1,000 in purses, but
with certain economics practiced
in several of the departments, all
premiums, purses, permanent
improvements and expenses of
management will be promptly
paid, and we expect a balance of
$4,000 or better for the week.

Fire Under Fair Grand Stand Extin-

after the steamers as they dashed down
the main avenue to the track where a
postponed race was being run. The fire,
however, was extinguished before the
people in the grand stand knew of it,
and what might have been a serious
panic was ayerted.
