would successfully kill the state fair
in one year.
Carry the point system out honestly,
and fairly, and add at least 10 points
for decorations, and the state fair will
be permanent institution, but con-
tinue the fair as this year and you
will kill it too dead to bury.

Injustices of Point System as
Worked at the Fair.

The editor of the Manatee Record
criticizes the action of the judges at
the Tampa Fair quite vigorously. We
quote the article and you can decide
for yourselves whether it is justffiable
or not
In the beginning let us state that
this article is not wall because
Manatee county was not awarded the
first. or even the second prize at the
State Fair, although we will admit
she would have stood, at least,
better show had the point system of
Judging the exhibits been carried out
to its fullness and completeness.
But it wasn't, and thereby hangs
our kick
The point system of Judging exhibits
is unQuestiOnably fair one when
properly carried out, but when imprOp-
erly and only partially carried out,
it works a hardship and does great
injustice to number of counties.
However, do not understand us to con-
denim the system because it was i'm
properly carried out at the State Fair
Under the point system 10 points
were allowed for the best exhibit of
citrus fruits. vegetables, agriculture
and horticulture. This was all right
lis each display was classified under
general head, each embracing the
several items properly coming under
its heading; as citrus fruits embraced
oranges. lemons, grapefruit, etc, and
agriculture embraced cotton, corn, oats
and all other cereals. This was fair
and honest to all; no one could kick
on this. But when the general head
ing of agriculture was invaded and 10
points each allowed for cotton and
cereals, making a total of 80 points
for agriculture as against 10 for hOrti-
culture or citrus fruits, a grave in
justice was done the citrus fruit cOun-
| ties, lone of whom we are which. -
| If the classified general headings were

of reason and justice, were all not

have evened up citrus fruits equal
with agriculture. But for some reason

Fruit Exchange

AS the Florida Fruit Exchange will
not open for business this year, we,
the ew York agents of the Exchange
solicit the direct consignments of all
growers and shippers whether mem
bers or not. All oranges will be sold
on arrival at auction as before, top
market value guaranteed, and direct
remittance the day after the sale.
The same satisfaction will be given
as of old (and if the next crop war
rants the revival of the Exchange
those who ship us this season need
make no change); 35 years selling

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken From st. Paul Papers
of 1865.

Gen L. S. Grant in ST. Paul
Aug. %. 1865, is another of
The memorable days in the
history Of ST. Paul. Clothed
in holiday attire, resplendent
with banners and waving
flags, decorated with triumph
al arches, her streets garland
ed with flowers and evergreens
and thronged with beautiful
women and public-spirited
men, st. Paul presented its
gayest and most attractive on
the occasion of welcoming to
the metropolis of the North
west one of the greatest men
of modern times-the hero of
the gigantic war for the pres
ervation and perpetuity of our
glorious Union.
At 9 a. m. the splendid
steamer Itasca, decorated from
lower deck to top of smoke
stacks with myriads of flags
and banners, festooned with
garlands of oak and evergreen,
came in sight. Salvos of ar
tillery announced the fact
from the bluff overlooking the
river, bells pealed forth wei
come from every tower and
thousands of men, women and
children thronged to the steam
boat landing. AS the steamer
neared the levee the music of
the Dubuque band was re-
sponded to by the band of the
Second cavalry, and also the |
Great Western. When, as the
boat touched the shore, Gen. |
Grant was seen on the hurri-
cane deck, he was greeted with !
deafening and long-continued |
cheers from the multitude.
The procession was soon
formed and took up the march |
to the International hotel. |
Jackson street was a solid mass |
of humanity, all eager to get a
glimpse of the man whose gen
Jus did so much to save the |
nation. The provost guard
formed line on either side
and kept back the eager ones.
Directly after entering the no.
tel the distinguished party ap-
peared on the balcony. Mayor
Prince introduced the famous |
general, who was again greet
ed with vociferous applause,
after which the mayor deliver
ed the address of welcome.
Gen. Grants speech was
of the man, brief
and to the point Raising his
hat and bowling to the people,
he said: Ladies and gentle
it is not my habit to make |
but | thank you for
this very cordial welcome |
which you have given me in
st. Paul. The procession then |
reformed and marched thru
the streets, according to pro-
gram.
On the corner of Third and
Jackson streets beautiful tri-
umphal arch of evergreens
spanned the way from the
Merchants hotel to Beaumont
block. It was handsomely
decorated with the national
colors and was surmounted by
a large American eagle and
appropriate notices. Third
street was resplendent with
the waving of flags and bunt-
ing, and this continued all the
way to Pleasant avenue. At
this point the procession dis
banded and the party, in a
train of twenty carriages, and
headed by the Great Western
band, proceeded to ST. Antho-
ny and Minneapolis.
While the Gen. Grant party
was being entertained at the

About 800 ex-rebe1s, who
have been in various organiza-
tons on the frontier, were en-
barked on the Northern Belle
yesterday and sent south to
their respective homes. These
men were Unionists at the
breaking out of the war and
drafted into the rebel army,
from which they afterwards
escaped and joined the Union
army. AS they would have
been executed if captured
again by the rebels, they were
placed in this department on
service against the Indians.
They will return to their
homes after four years abb
sence, in many instances, per-
haps, to find them destroyed
and their families driven
away.
