This was to be the one great race of the week,
and some of the best horBes on the turf were
entered, as follows: "Little Fred," Higby
driver "Albemarle," VaNess driver "L-u
cille," Myers driver "Darby," Dan. Mace
driver "Adelaide," Splan driver. In the pools
Darby was the favorite with the second choice
divided between Adelaide and Little Fred.
First heatThree scores got the trottcis off

Little Fred true to his instincts began the heat
with a clear lead, and held his own for a short
time, hut Albemarle dashed by him and be

THE FOUR-IN-HAND.
Elias Moses made his appearance upon the
track between the heats of the first races be
hind four beautiful bays, and after turning
the course once and jogging around to
the quarter, went back to the start and went
otf like a Bhot. The beautiful horses seemed
to know their business, and settled down to
their work in fine style, making the mile in the
very fast timo for a four-in-hand of 3 03
BAHIFORHOPEFDL.
In response to a request from the Presidential
party, Hopeful was brought out about 4 o'clock
and put around the course once in the middle
of the track without a mate. The mud had
not sufficiently dried up to ensure good time
but still the distinguished visitors seated in the
private boxes were treated to a fine exhibition
of Bpeed. The grand old horse spread himself
superbly for the trial. The heat resulted as
follows:

SECOND TRIAL.
After Mace had been called up and presented
with a beautiful bouquet, Gerry Owen, the run
ning mate, appeared and the fleet gray squared
himself for the effort to beat
Rarus time. That ho would do so
was not for a moment expected, as he was
obliged to stick to the middle of the track
The audience arose and cheered as the wonderl
ful trotter passed and as the quarters were
noted, and the shout of "fast! fast!" rang out
from the judges Btand, the wildest en
thusiasm prevailed. Down the stretch he
I came, the runner close at the wheel, the grey
\legs moving like the driving shaft of a steam
(engine, the old horse shaking from side to sido
his wide nostrils agape, his broad breast heav
ing with exertion. Under the wire he tore,
making the last quarter of the mile in 34^
seconds, Dan Maee leaning to one side and
shouting his peculiar urging cry of "Hi, ya,
ya! hi, hi!" which the equine hero understands
so well.
When the judge announced that the time
was not quite so fast as heretofore, but owing
to the condition of the track most remarkable
time, the spectators accepted the facts and
vociferously shouted their applause.
The time resulted as follows: First quarter,
:31^ half mile, 1:08 third quarter, 1:42 mile,
2:17%.
Then the audience arose and yelled them
selves hoarse over Dan and his faithful charge,
and when the devoted animul was led out for a
final view he was crowned with a floral wreath
and presented with a beautiful bridle.
Rarus was also shown and flowers showered
upon him.

FAIR NOTES
The display of clothing made by Rothchild's
in Machinery hall is one of unusual good taste.
However, they had the right kind of stock to
do it with. Their merchant-tailoring and
ready made clothing are just like the house
which deals them outthe best in the city.
Persons passing through Agricultural Hall
could not fail to notice the large number of
blue ribbons attached to Moulton & Co.'s ap
ples. There is no use talking, the Russian
apple is the future apple of Minnesota. It
only remains for our fruit growers and farm
ers to show the same energy and enterprise in
cultivating this fruit as Messrs. Moulton & Co.
have shown in placing it within their reach.
The Piesident and wife and Gov. Pillsbury
and wife rode to the grounds and back in a
magnificent five-glass landau, and the hand
some carriage divided attention with the beau
tiful horses which drew it and the distinguished
party that occupied it. It was pronounced by
all as by all odds the handsomest vehicle ever
brought to Minnesota, and many times were
the qustionB asked, "who made it?""where
did it come from?" The GLOBE undertaken to
satisfy this very laudiblc curiosity. The lan
dau was manufactured at the celebrated Stude
baker factory at South Bend, Indiana,
and was only one of the splendid displays at
tho great Northwestern exposition. This car
riage was purchased some time since by J. W.
Johnson, Esq., proprietor of the North Star
iron works, and tho historical vehicle will re
main in Minneapolis, a souverin of the Presi
dent's visit.
All persons who visited the exposition in the
afternoon yesterday could not help but notice
the many bine ribbons that were awaided this
great carriage manufactory.
Christian & Dean are appointed Studbaker's
agents for Minneapolis and vicinity, and will
keep constantly on hand a large variety of
all classes of their work, including some of the
finest quality. They now have some of the
fine carriages that were displayed at the great
exhibition.
CARRIAGES.
Our friend Fred Roeller, proprietor of the
Novelty Carriage works, whose skill and ar
tistic design in carriago manufacture received
a just compensation for his efforts to please
his patronB, by receiving the most compliments
upon his exhibit from the visitors at the expo
sition, of any of the numerous class in which
he entered. When the judges placed the blue
ribbon as a symbol of the award upon his car
riages, sleighs, platform and side bar buggies
and phaetons, they but echoed the universal
verdict of thousands who admired the beauti
ful and useful vehicles so conspicuously dis
played by the enterprising manufacturer.
JOHNSON. SMITH 4i HARRISON.
These boys, the two first mentioned of whom
seven years ago, in the village of Minneapolis,
started the job printing business with a cider
press and a keg of nails, have grown with our
municipal growth and strengthened with our
strength, until they now havo the most exten
sive job printing office, book bindery and litho
graphing establishment northwest of Chicago.
They were represented on the grounds by an
unostentatious display of blank books and mis
cellaneous binding, and specimens of printing
and lithographingnot prepared for exhibi
tion, but taken from specimens of every day
work. Did they
CARRY OFF THE PREMIUM?
Of course they did, my boyall of them, and
away from such veteran establishments as the
Pioneer Press and every other establishment
represented on the ground.
Their miscellaneous binding was especially
superb, being equal to tho fancy work done in
Europe for Jgreat libraries. Me-srs. Johnson,
Smith & Harrison may well be proud
of their work and the appreciation it met with
at the fair, for they are beginning to be recog
nized all over the West as the best and most
reliable firm in their lines, anywhere in the
West. Their display received tho blue ribbon
on every article.
HARMAN & CO.
One of the notable displays in Mechanical
hall,the most beautiful, from an artistic stand
point, of the entire fair was that of E. A. Har
mon & Co., consisting of
FINE GROCERIES AND CROCKERY.
The space occupied by the firm in the Center
of Mechanical hall, was, from early Monday
morning until late Saturday night Burrounded
by a crowd of "fair women and brave men
admiring the arrangement no less than the
beautiful articles exhibited. And
THE FIRST PREMIUMS!
It was perfectly astounding how many blue'
ribbonB can be tacked on to one display when
the committees are all united. There was
blue ribbons on magnificent lampB, blue
ribbonB on silver ware,on porcelain ornamental
trinkets, on complete sets of china, on cut
glass, ornamental and useful articles, on tin
chamber suits, on Belleek china, and on
iridescent glassware while the fine groceries
were blue ribboned as though there was no
competitorsand there was not.
Farewell Address.
Just before the close of the races Col. W. S.
King appeared in the judges' stand and ad
dressed the people present, stating that the
exposition for 1878 had now been brought to a
close. How successful had been the vast en
terprise those present were the living and en
thusiastic witnesses. He said that of all the
grand displays the grandest had been the cor
dial unity and good will of those present, who
so largely contributed to the success of the
enterprise by their helpful presence. Espec
ially would he thank those gentlemen interest
ed the noble animals who had used their
wonderful energy i the remarkable
exhibition of speed. To tho credit
of these gentlemen that during the entire
week not one single discourteous or questiona
ble action had been indulged in, and for amore\
honorable, higher-toned and truer lot of gen
tlemen the world might be searched through
and their equals be undiscovered.
The audience testified to their approval o
the Colonel's remarks by three rousing cheers'
and a vociferous -tige. Loud calls were made
for Mace, Hopeful and Rarus, and when they
appeared upon the track it looked as though
they would be literally eaten up by the excited
throng. As Mace left the ground he swung MB
hat, jumped up and down, and Bhouted
"Minneapolis beats the world
Review of the Karris Business.
The representative of the GLOBE has been a
quiet spectator of the turmoil and trouble
about this unfortunate Rarus business, and
has simply tried thus far to be the mouthpiece
of local public sentiment in the matter.
Heretofore he has expressed no opinion of his
own but now that the evidence "is all in and
the difficulty adjudicated, his disposition is to
say-
That he in no manner coincides with the ver
dict of the exposition management, and is
not ready to heap roses upon the head
of this jockey who has made no effort to play
the manly part toward the fair management,
and shown no disposition to decently treat the
county whose gues* he was, and whose bounty
he was receiving.
Let us candidly review the facts .in the case:
Mr. Splan had made a contract with the North
western Exposition management, agreeing (as
the contract reads) to bring his entire stud, in
cluding Rarus, to Minneapols, to remain the
entire week, except only Wednesday, when he
was to trot in St. Paul.
The management here undertook on their part
to transport Rarus and Splan's entire stud
from Milwaukee to Minneapolis, free of cost,
and to send them to Dubuque from here free
of cost.. Also, to pay $1,000 certainly, and
$2,000 conditionally, to Rarns, and give Splan
an opportunity to win all he could with his
other horses.
Instead of complying with the conditions of
his contract, without consulting the Minneapo
lis management, he took Rarus off the train
before reaching Minneapolis suffered
him to be advertised by a rival
fair showed him on a rival track
without compensation, and in every possible
manner evinced his superscilious contempt of
his employers. When forced by the plain con
ditions of his contract to bring the horse to
Minneapolis, he played the dog-m-the-manger,
locked the animal up in his stable and permit
ted his lackeys to charge 25 cents a head for
seeing him.
Wednesday night he returned to Minneapolis
after having trotted at St. Paul, aud on
Thursday was again kept most of the
day in a closed stall, and not brought out
for exhibition at all, even though
requested to several timesevincing a
spirit so mean and contemptib'e that the noble
horse whose keeper he is, should kick him out
of the stableand who would if he was gifted
with human reason.
Nor is this all. After the splendid reception
of his rival, Dan Mace, driver of Hopeful, on
Thursday afternoon he went off in a fit of sulks
and declared that his horse should not be
driven to make good time on the day he was
advertised, and stuck to it until he was in
formed that he would be incontinently kicked
off the Minneapolis track bag and
baggage if Rarus failed, through his
driving, to accoiunlish a creditable race.
Then he. when forced, consented to do his
best and did, after he had injured the associ
ation aB much as lays in his power, make a fine
race.
This is a plain, unvarnished history of the
case, made without paBsion. or envy, or preju
dice, and submitted to a candid world. The
Minneanolis end can only speak for one, but it
is his opinion that Mr. Splan's course will not
be in any manner justified by honest men and
gentlemen.
The good natured effort of Col. King to pour
oil on troubled waters was creditable to his
heart but disgraceful to his head and the ful
some presentation of a blanket as
coming from the "ladies of Minneapolis" was
neither true nor in good taste. John Splan was
not cheeredRarus was. John Splan has no
lends among thinking men in Minneapolis
Rarus has. John Splan received hearty
good wishes from any of the people of Minne-
apolisRams id. The jockey seemed to real
ize his position, tor he sneaked out of the
judges' stand like a whipped dog, without even
saying, what all knew was not in his heart, "I
thank you." Not a lady in Minneapolis had a
thing to do with the blanket busines. It was
bought of the North Star woolen mill after the
first heat was trotted, and never seen by one of
them, unless in the exhibit of the mill.
If John Splan has learned to be an honest
man and a gentleman by the kicks and curses
put upon him in Minneapoliswell. If not
the chastisement he has received here is clear
loss, though it has been an immense satisfac
tion to those who inflicted it.

The GLOBE acknowledges a pleasant social

The GLOBE man had a pleasant interview
with Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who
is one of the distinguished members of the
Presidential party. Rutherford is cosmopoli

Senator Butler is especially creditable to the
President's good taste as a cultivated gentle
man in the highest sense of the term.
Another unfortunate fell a victim to his own
carelessless yesterday morning, adding one more
to the long list of railroad unfortunates. An
unknown man was run over this morning on
the C. M. & Sc. P. railway just below the depot.
It appears that he was standing near the track
and stepped in front of a train returning from
the fair grounds, and notwithstanding that the
bell was ringing and breakmen were shouting
to him of his danger, he did not stir until the
cars ran ver him and hurled him from the
track crushed and dead. His name has not yet
been ascertained.
CREDIBLE DISPLAY.
What the Northern Pacific Collection
ProvesThe Greatest Cereal Belt in the
WorldProducts Exhibited from Every
Count)/ from. Zake Superior to the Mis
souri Mvcr-Also from Eoerj/ State and
Territory from the Great Lake to the
Great Ocean.
"Better late than never," and in fact the
GLOBE representative has been waiting until
the close of the greatest exposition ever held
in the NorthweU before attempting to men
tion the grand display made by the
land department of tho Northern Pacific rail
way. It is
NO EXAGGERATION
to say that the collection shown to the public
by this great corporation was more visited and
more praised than any other display upon the
entire grounds.
In the first place, there is a full display of
the most wonderful vegetable and cereal pro
ductions raised along the line of that road
from
LAKE SUPERIOR TO THE MISSOURI,
representing every county, organized and un
organized, in both Minnesota and Dakota.
It is not many years since southern Minneso
ta, from St. Anthony Falls to the Iowa line
was regarded as being on the verge of the
frozen zone, but the uuparalleled rapidity with
which the "Northern Pacific country" has
been developed has turned a new leaftn the
ideas of people.
THE HARVEST THIS YEAB
and every previous year since the first
farm was opened in the great north
land of the extreme upper Mississippi valley,
has demonstrated that for absolute certainty in
the harvesting of No. 1 spring wheat every
year, it is necessary to go north of the
FOB7Y-FOURTH PARALLEL.
Take the present year as an example: In
southern Minnnsota and northern Iowa and
Wisconsin the entire cereal crop has been al
most a failure, and what few bushels to the
acre have been secured goes No. 2, No. 3, No. 4
and rejected. But on the line of the great
railway the harvest has been most abundant
ranging from
TWENTY-FIVE TO FOBTY
bushels to the aere, and with scarcely a bushel
grading below No. 1, unless from gross careless
ness in the handling or from other special
causes.
ANOTHER FACT:
The display at present under consideration
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the supposed unfertile belt between the
Red and Missouri rivers is fitted in all respects
to produce, not only the smaller grains in won
derful abundance, but also is unsurpassed in
growing vegetables of every kind and charac
ter. There is no "alkaline country," but one
broad, unbroken, uncultivated
HARVEST FIELD
awaiting the magic touch of the soiled hand of
stalwart labor, to call into life fields laughing
with the husbandman's promise of plenty.
The imaginajion reaches fo-ward into the near
future, and sees upon the prairies of Dakota,
in the valley of the Yellowstone, and hugging
close to the protecting
ROCK-RIBBED SIDES
of the mountains of Montana, the clustering
cottages of comfort, houses for the unhoused
poverty-pinched millions of the Eastern cities.'
There is
NO FOOR LAND,
and the nerve and muscle of the Genius of
Hard Work will in the future demonstrate the
fact. I
I THE DISPLAY.
Some features of this great display will bear
particularising. The splendid showing from
Wadena county, in charge of the
HANDSOME HDSB4NDMAN HDOKLEBERBY
of the Wadena Tribune, was mentioned at
length yesterday. Yesterday afternoon while
wandering through the halls, the GLOBE man
halted in front of Gatchell's stand (which the
same has become celebrated) and discovered
the following card prominently pinned on his
grain exhibit:
"This collection of grain in the straw, while
not entered fo.- any premium, the committee on
grain award to it the credit of being the finest
display of the kind in Agricultural hall."
This speaks loudly, not only for the enter
prise of our newspaper friend, but also for the
Northern Pacific railway which called
the country into life and use. Huckle
berry, come again. We will use you well.
WADENA
was the only county which had a special dis
play outside of the Northern Pacific space ex
cept Clay, and all that has been said of Wa
dena will apply with equal force to Clay. In
the general dibplay of the Northern Pacific
proper the
CEREAL SHOW
was especially fine. Wheat of every conceiv
able variety oats with straw six feet in length
rye with straw eight feet in length
native nutricious grasses six feet
high and mammoth vegetables which would
put the soil and climate of Iowa and Missouri
to the blush. Even the wicked Bismarck sends
down oats that would make Rarus weep with
tears of joy to gaze upon. Wheat, beautiful,
white, hard, winter wheat spring wheat brown
and plump as an Indian maiden's budding
bosom corn with gigantic stalks
ranging upward from the bosom
of the earth which produced Ut twelve
stalwart feet into the air wheat from Mon
tana, bright and pure as her own native silver
fruits from Oregon, Idaho and Washington
Territory, smiling at the passers filled with the
JUICY MELODY OF LUSCIOUS SWEETS.
And everything else that nature has scattered
so bounteously throughout the length and
breadth of the great Western empire called
into active civilized life by the great Northern
thoroughfarethe Northern Pacific railway.
Even from the Red Lake reservation, one
hundred miles still north of the railway, there
is a beautiful display of Indian corn, fully de
veloped and beyond reach of the frost: while
from the budding manufacturing interests of
the road we have a sack of creamy flour char
acteristicly branded
FOUR ACES,
(which beats a full hand, you understand) from
gallant Frazer City. But why particularize
further? Minnesotians know the Northern
Pacific country. I is the right arm of our de
veloping commonwealththe titman of the
litter, growing to be the bully of the drove.
The Northern Pacific display was the finest by
all odds among the many fine exhibits of agri
cultural products at the great exposition.
Mr. Powers, the efficient land commissioner
of the road, will pack and carry the display to
the Wisconsin State fair, opening at Madison
to morrow.
Opening of the Public Schools.
All interested in the opening of the public
schools will read with interest the following
card from Prof. Tousley:
FirstAll schools will open on Monday,
Sept. 9th, except the High school and the
Monroe school. The excitement attending the
exposition has drawn away the workmen to
such an extent as to delay the opening of the
High school one week. The Monroe school will
not be ready before the 1st of November. Ap
plicationts for admission to the High school, or
to the eighth grade, West Division, will report
