The Driving Park Association has COM
pleted race track to-day, and it is pro-
nounced by all who are competent judges
to be a triumph Of art and model Of beau-
ty. The topography Of the grounds and
the quality of the soil, are as we'll adopted
to the purpose for which they are employ
ed as any that could have been found in
the State. In support of this assertion we
note few prominent features of excel
lence. The situation is near the city, and
accessible at all times, by an excellent
road. 1t is in full view, from the tops Of
prominent buildings on the business
streets. It is elevated above the surround
ing country, and enjoys the benefit of the
breczes when any are stirring. 1t is of
uniformly even surface and free from liza
bility to wash in time Of frequent and
heavy rains. 1t is near to an abundant
supply of running water, for the use Of
stock. The soil is sandy enough to be dry
and has enough of clay to make it pack,
and while tits sufficiently firm, it will yield
enough to he easy for the "highest" step
per that ever contested for stake,-ad:
vantages which are recognized upon the
most casual observation, and they are of
first importance. These grounds were
selected, and will be fitted. with no less re-
gard to the interests of the Mower County
Agricultural Society, than TO those of the
Driving Association 1t is the purpose
of the business men of Austin, representa-
in this corporation to invite the farmers
and mechanics Of the county to the occu-
pancy of as fine grounds and other con-
veniences for exhibition as can be, found
elsewhere, and they will discharge every
obligation in good faith. They recognize
the fact that the interests of the city and
OF the country are ola eognate character
and that they are mutual. With this idea
in prominent view they bespeak the gen.
erous cooperation of each citizen-pro
ing to :eciprocate every expression Of good
will and the performance Of each friendly
office, in that broad spirit Of amity and
concord which should ever characterize
the intercourse Of those engaged in the
advancement Of common cause. Hav-
ing thus brought to speedy completion one
important part of the work, tits proposed
70 signalize the event by inviting the peo-
pie Of the county, country and city, to the
Fair grounds on next Saturday afternoon

THE Public, and especially residents of
this city have reason to appreciate the late
action of the Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way Company. The new time card pro-
vides for the running of trains so as to
give us the very best accommodations
possible. We*can leave home at 1850
o'clock a. H., and reach St. Paul in time
for dinner. Leaving at 3:o5 o'clock p.
NJ, We arrive home at 10 minutes before
8 O'Clock in the evening. The through
trains are now run on as high speed as
any lines make, and they reach Milwau-
kee and Chicago as carly as those Of any
other company. The Milwaukee & ST.
Paul is the only company whose interests
arc at all identical with ours. They have
heavy investments here, and those Of a
substantial character too. The Railway
Eating House-one of the finest and most
popular in the, State, cost about $4,000.
Their depot, round house, repair shops,
&C., add much to the substantial wealth
of the city, while. they employ not less
than 100 men, a large proportion ofwhom
own homes here These men receive
monthly, not less than $1,000 in cash from
the company. This money is PAID out
here 10 the merchants, thus contributing
to the business aud the general prosperity
Of the city, 1t is in contemplation to build
extensive machine shops here before long.
The growth of the colnpany's business
will nccessitate that step. The shops at
Milwaukee are no more than adequate to
the demands Of that part Of the line lying
east Of the river, and at Minneapolis it is
practically impossible to obtain room for
additional buildings. The Hastings g.
Dakota and the river divisions supply all
the work that can be done ut Minneapolis,
while the main line with the Iowa and
Dakota divisions must be provided for
here. In view of all this it seems but
reasonable that our business mcn should
make q. substantial acknowledgment Of
this contribution 70 the general interest Of
the city.
