VOL. VI. THE FMEVENT. The Second Day of the Northwestern Exposition at Minneapolis. KOBE DETAILS OF EXHIBITS. The Record of the Races in the After noon. THE COMPETITIVE MILITIA DRILL What There is to See and Where It is to be Found. The weather yesterday was anything but agreeable. It was cold and damp, and to that reason is ascribed the fact of the astonishingly small attendance at the fair grounds. It was folly 9 o'clock before the people began to arrive, and then in small squads of a half dozen each. It was expected that the military tournamant would prove a big drawing card, bat the conclusion was an error. The track sports also failed proving very attractive to the masses. The various buildings, neverthe less, were well thronged by midday by admirers of the elaborate displays. AWABDING PBEMrtTMS. The awarding committees began their work of putting up the ribbons. They went nearly through the stables occupied by the Norman horses and those of the Hereford cattle. To-day the work will be continued as rapidly as possible The balloon, ail inflated,on its way from the gas works to the grounds in the morning attracted considerable attentior. But with good weather to-day the grounds will be visited by thousands. The exhibits are so extensive and of such a magnificent character that they must win widespread notoriety and attract the people. Ihe Machinery Exit ibit. A Globe representative consumed a couple of pleasant hours yesterday in go ing through mechanical hall and .noticed a vast improvement in the arrangement of exhibits and found numerous displays of various articles that he had not wit nessed the day before. Everything was in proper order and thenoisa and confusion of the preceding dry, consequent upon fixing up temporary stands was |oonspicn ously absent. DOU3IE SAW MILL. The Pray Manufactaring company have a double circular siw mill on exhibition which is attracting much attention from those interested in the lumber business. One point of excellence in this machine and which is not embodied in other mills is that the saw boxes are rigid, while the frame is adjustable and allows the whole, frame to be carried up to or away from the carriage, as may bo desired. In low ering the top saw both ends ara raised to gether equally and simultaneously, bat either end car, be raised as desired to ad just tin arbois nline. After tho adjust ment is once made, in raising or lowering the arbor for different sized saws it is al ways retained. . Thf ?awa can be adjusted ! in line while nina; to place them verti cally or in l;Le with the cut. The saw £u:d:-- are easily adjustable without dan ger t ) the sawyer, and either the inside or outside guir!e c.-a be moved at will, or both together if necessary, the guides for top arid bottom saws being constructed on the same principle. An other point of superiority is that the bot tom aroor can be removed at any time without disturbing a bolt of the top saw rig. The frame for tho top saw is only on the front end of the husk, thus leaving the rear end entirely clear for the removal of the lower arbor, and no part of it is en dangered by wide and heavy, sidings or slabs falling upon it. The husk is solid casting, planed on both top and bottom, and only requires to be laid on timbers prepared for it, when it is ready for work. The top saw can be started or stopped at any time by a lever on the frame and within easy reach of the sawyer. The boxes on the arbors are self oiling and the linings are interchangeable. It is an invention which well deserves the inspection of all interested in this branch of industry. ''■ PORTABLE HOUSES. I {Forrest's portable house and automatic car soapier are attracting a large share of attention. The latter invention is an in genious contrivance which is awaiting capital to introduce it. BZWXHG MACHINES. The light-running ''Domestic" Sewing Machine Co. ha? a grand exhibit which at tracted a multitude of ladies who eagerly i watch the operating of the machine. Tho tinder braiding nod the vibrating presser foot used in the "Domestic" allow a range ! of work to be done by any person. Every part of it is made of steel and case hard ened. *£,The gas stoves exhibited in the gallery by Chas. Stierle, of St. Poal, are much ex- j amined. By means of this utensil, atmos- I pheric gas is made to do family cooking. [ Heciaini3 that gas will be the fuel of the | future and that there will be 1833 danger I from conflagration originating in chim- j ney? and defective as at the present I time. The Acme fire kindlers are also on ex hibition, one kindier which costs bat a penny being suficient to start three fires. They are made of sawdust and some res inou i substance mixed together. CBK»MEES. The Cooley creamers, manufactured in sixteen different sizes for dairy or factory use, are exhibited by the manufacturers, Whittier & Ensign, of Northfield, Minn. They appear to possess superior merit and attract the attention of rural visitors. They have also rectangular churns holding from nine to sixty gallons, the largest being adapted for use in cream eries and large dairies, They are fitted /with crank 3at both ends, and so arranged that a pulley can be attached for connect ing with power.

S. F. Heath displays bicycles, tricycles, and wheel goods of various kinds and sizes. SHOE POLISH. 11. Giles' leather preservative deserves mention. This is the first exhibition of his polish, which is put up in two sized cans. He claims that nothing on the market can approach it for harness, carriage tops, and valises. ILLUMINATING OILS. The Continental Oil company nake a grand display. Among the articles on exhibit is a metal lined barrel which came out of an East ride fire uninjured save the wood casing which was burned almost en tirely through in several places, but the oil did not ignite. I'LOBAL DISPLAY. The floral dieylaya of the Mendenbail \ green houses and also of C. A. Smith de serve more than a passing notice. They look magnificent and add considerably to the attractiveness of the hall. The vege table display of C. A. Smith is a fine one. There are six bunches of Scotch kale which are extremely fine, Ihe largest meaßuriug six feet in cir cumference. CUETISS COJIMEBCIAL COLLEGE. The unusually elaborate and interesting exhibit of this popular institution is one of the marked features of the fair. The display consists of the greatest variety of penwork, from plain writing to the most artistic engrossing and pen-drawing.

Tlie Horses. Next to ihe cattle, the horses form a great feature of the fair. Minnesota, be yond question, takes more real interest and more genuine pride in fine horse?, and in breeding the same, than any other branch appertaining to the farm. Stock farms are now located in every section of tho state. Special attention in this connection is paid to imported animals, and as a re sult there are not only thousands of fast trotters and thoroughbred running horses, but a -large number of the heaviest breeds of draught animals, owned and being bred in Minnesota. The fair management ap preciated this fact, and taking advantage of the popularity of such animals, made the greatest effort to secure the magnifi cent exhibition which astonished the pat rons of the grounds. The stables at the ex treme southeast portions of the grounds are favored with the trotters and the thorough bred?. It needs bat a visit to these ani mals to satisfy any one that Minnesota is rapidly taking a front rank in the breed ing of horses. A more detailed :-aention of the horse exhibit will be made to-mor row. ficine. The display of swine is not very exten , sive, but are said to be of excellent breeds. The entries are: .-. . CLASS B. Henry F. Brown exhibits a pen of Poland Chinas- — nine boars 'and sows, varying in age from six months to two years old, and representing all sizes. . : William Barnstein, of Richfield, exhibits a pen of eight Poland Chinas, varying from one to two years of age — sows and boars — which ' are attracting considerable attention from breeders. CLASSES O. AND D. The exhibit in classes C. and D. is also limited. These are devoted to the display of the Essex and small white varieties. The entries are: William Bernstein enters a pen of eight boars and cows. John W. Morse & Son, of Verona, Wis., enters two pens — two boars acd two sows. Henry F. Brown also has a pen, consist ing of one boar, and three pigs under six months old, sired by the boar; also a large sow ■vriib three pigs. Sheep. The display of phej jk is net as extensive rs might be expoofcd.'ir ci ti:e nmngemeiit expect the arrival of several Hue flocks from abroad this morning. The entries as shown yesterday were: GLASS A.— FIHK WOOL SHEEP. Abel Wilsoa, of Richfield, enters eight ilocks of sheep. H. Roger?, of Sparta, 'Wis., enters a large collection of rr-.rns and ewea.

Brown, of Meadow Lawn farm, Browasdale, exhibits a pen of ewe lambs. 31. 8. O. Prize Drill. The first of the advertised attractions of the day was the prize drill by four compa nies of the First regiment of the M. S. National Guards, for a prize of $1,000, divided $400, $300, $200 and $100. The companies competing were all from Min neapolis and St. Paul, viz: Co. "A," Capt. Harrison and Lieuts. Barnard and Hatch, Minneapolis; Co. "B," Capt. Wielch and Lieuts. Brown aLd Williams; Co. "C," Capt. Wright and Lieuts. Sibley and Becker, St. Paul; Co. '"D," Capt. Bean and Lieuts. Peteh and Mitsch. The compa nies each presented twenty-five men, ex cept Co. "D," Capt. Bean, which appeared with thirty-two file?. The judges* were regular army officers a3 follows: Lieut. Glenn, 251h infantry, Lieut. Rucker, 2d cavalry, and Lieut. Ahem 25th infantry Bat little interest was shown by the gener al public in the drill, not more than two hundred persons being among the specta tors in carraiges and in the grand stand. Col. Bend, Lieut. Johnson, Surgeon Dav enport and assistant Surgeon Fitzgerald, "of the First regiment field officers, and Col. Bobleter and Capt. Hunter of Fari bault, and Lieuts. Hard and Clyde of Little Falls, of the Second regiment were present as interested spectators of the different movements. In drawing for order of drill company "C" of St. Paul, was so unfortunate as to be first, followed in order by "A," "D' and "B." The order of drill was inspection, school of the sol dier, manual of arms, school of the com pany, firings and platoon movement, the exercises concluding with battalion; dre3s parade. Each company had forty minutes in which to go through the different ' evo lutions, though each company wa3 given a few minutes additional time. The good points made by the several companies *ere applaaded though it was noticeable /that company "A" had most friends on the ground. The contest be tween companies "A and "D" was exceedingly close, spectators with a smat tering knowledge of the different move ments btiag very evenly divided in opin ion as to which did th« best. Alter '"C" and "A" hid gone through tha order of drill, a recess of half mi hour was taken for lunch, owing to which the- drill of the last company was not concluded when the hones were called up for the races. _ When the judges had made their analysis of the stindiog of the several competi fc^Q KSS wmxSSSSam m b4 -lS! ESfli - fid E€ Jr InH Ksl E2J Pt3l fr?3 P*l I^3 Ka^^^ tors, the companies were paraded for ■jattalion dress pnrade, under command of Col. Bend. As it proved the battalion was formed, a3 they ware awarded, Co. "D" having the right with "A" second, "B" third and "C on the left. After the parade and the officers had drawn up in front of Col. Bend, that officer stepped up and shook handa with Capt. Bean, Capt. Harrison, Capt. Welch and Capt. Wright, that being the signal that they had been awarded prizes in that order. It is understood that Co. "D" was viator over Co. "A" by five points, though only the general standing was announced, "B" having 16 7-10; "A" 16 6-10; "B" 14 5 10 and "C" 14 1 10 out of a possible 18. The parade dismiss6d,Capt. Bean was warmly congratulated, while his com pany was heartily cheered by the other companies, Co. "A" not being a whit behind the others in hearti ness, though feeling their defeat most keenly, they, as well as company "D," having worked most faithfully to fit them selves for the contest. The Racf-s. The racing programme for the after noon had only three events, trotting in the 2:50 and 2:28 classes, and running, mile dash. The horses were called at 2p. in., at ■which time there were less than a thousand persons in the grand stand, as many more probably being scattered about the grounds, lining the fence?, and in car riages. The day •was dark and dreary, sky overcast with clouds, and a cold, raw wind from the north, while the track was slow, there being several soft places in it. The judges were Mr. T. Grattan, of Preston, starter; Gapt. Tno?. B. Marrett, St. Paul, and Win. 11. Ensign, of Minneapolis, and B. D. Woodmansee and F. C. rills bury as timers, and Frank Hessler secre tary of the course. The rulings were strict in all cases, and by some thought severe in the two instances — that when the heat was taken from Hancock and decided a dead with the mare Catharine, and when, a dead heat was declared between Nettie G. and Lulu Judd. In both these cases the drivers that made the complaints resulting in the decisions were among the loudest to complain before the respective races were concluded, the own er of Catharine because his man got a record thereby, and the latter because he was afterward* removed trooi his sulky. We well remember that on the first day of the state fair at Rochester last year, when Mr. Grattan was starting judge, very similar proceedings were indulged in by some of the drivers, and similar severe measures were employed by him. The result was that the races for the remainder of the week moved along smoothly, each driver making a good show of trying to win, and refraining from making protests for mere buncombe. And so it will be here. Fooling and . trickery won't pay with Grattan in the stand. TROTTING — 2:28 CLASS. The first race was trotting in the 2:28 class, for which the entries J. A. Lovejoy, b. g. Gen'l Hancock, Dr. E. A. Dunsmocr, b. g. Charlie Champ, W. B. Moshier, c. m. Catharine, and H. Barns, b. s. Fearnau^ht, bat the first three only oame for the word, Fearnaught being drawn. The horses drew position!?, with Hancock at the pole, Cath arine in the middle and Champ outside. In the pools Hancock sold at "> to 1 over the field as favorite, They were sent off for the first heat on the third effort. Cath arine left herje-et immediately after ienv ing the wire, and eight or ten lengths to the rear, a position she held to the finish. In going to the quarter Hancock opened up a lead of three lengths of Champ. In going, to the half Champ mado up this distance, tod the two trotted head and head to the distauee, from which he gained very slowly and went under the wire, win ning the heat by a neck. Time 2:31)^. While Charlie Champ's performance in the first heat was an unusually good one for him under the circumstances, it was the very general opinion that Hancock was con veniently eased up on the back stretch and that in fact while Hancock was not actually held, he was not driven home as rapidly as he could have been. This opinion wa3 sustained -by the pool betting, the know ing ones continuing to make him the fav orite at $5 to $4 for the field. Later it became [evident that the driver of Hancock, deliberately dropped the first heat to give Champ second money, a scheme that was spoiled by his swerve in the fourth heat. The second heat was without particular interest. Champ and Hancock went to gether to the eighth with Catharine trail ing. At the quarter Hancock had two lengths the best of Champ, and from this hour the race was a procession, though Catharine made a good push for second place on the home but failed by nearly a length. Time, 2:32^. For the third heat, one of the evenest starts ever seen on a race track was se cured . . Before the quarter was reached, however, Hancock had pulled to the front and the balance of the heat was a proces sion so far as he was concerned. A little interest was excited on the home stretch by the struggle between Champ and Cath arine for second place, both trotting level and finishing on even times. Time — 2:31%. la the fourth heat tho driver of Cathe rine sent her for first place from the start, but Hancock was too speedy and 0 itharine losing her feet on the back stretch her opportunity was gone, though she closed up a, ; gap of six lengths on the home stretch and was on nearly even terms at that distance when she again left her feet and started on a run, but was kept in con trol by her driver. Champ just saved his distance. As Hancock swerved on the home stretch from the center of the track to the outside, of which the driver made complaint. The judges gave the heat to Catharine, Hancock second. Time, 2:30 Hancock continued to Bell favorite in the pools at 10 to 5. The horses were sent off in the fifth heat, Cathrine and Hancock going as a double team to the first turn, when Hancock pulled to the front, and at the quarter he had a lead of three lengths. The driver of Cath arine continued to send her along lively, and though Hancock maintained his lead to the finish he had no time to lose, the heat being the fastest of the race. Champ just saved his distance. Time, 2:27%; 6UKMAEX.
