| Reed, of the First National bank, the treasur-

Here is nice string of youngsters
three of whom, at least, are do
ing some fast preparatory wor]
: and good race may be confidently LOOKED
for. But surprise will be felt among thos
Q who have been watching the preliminaries o
: this race, that the entry list above does no
9 contain one by Mr.. r. Barden, this city
: Mr.. Barden was one of the original mover
g in getting up the race, and is very general
y known as the owner of two colts of the RICH
!. age, one of whom has been handled consid
II erably; and has been reported as going fas
Wednesday Mr.. Barden told the writer b
had sent his son to Anoka to see the tw
= colts and select the one to bear the honor {
his breeding stable in the race. At the NEE
ing yesterday Mr.. Sherwood reported M
d Barden as saying that one of the colts We
t acting badly, while the other, Juliette, W;
50 rank in her growth he found she woul
sustain permanent injury by being subjecte
to the strain of preparation and perform
ance in race, and that therefore he shou
70 make no entry.
There are those, however, who insist tn
al Mr.. Barden has been actuated by ditferel
at motives in failing to make an entry. AS
is well known, Mr.. Barden is training with B
is, King in the fair business this fall, and tn
We to the extent his stock will contribute
NJ. that end, Bills fair will be success. &c
tain parties reason from this that M
:, Barden would certainly have entered o.
a of his colts had Minneapolis be-
Il. chosen as the place for holding the race, b
l. knowing well that nearly if not all the pa
at ties entering would favor the State fair,
e- determined to do his best to injure that
AZ AZ stitution-emphaticall st. Paul enterpri
81 this yearly remaining out. This is Sol
W. of the talk outside, and while the GLOBE do
ay not by any means wish to be understood
be endorsing such statement, it must be co
rs fessed that Mr.. Barden's course towards t
w. State fair has furnished ground for such
IT, report.
We AS said above, however, good string
as. as youngsters have been entered, and a go
mt race may be confidently looked for, thou
CT interest would have been added to it,
srs pecially to breeders, by representation
an Mr.. Barden's stables.
