FAR1BAULT, Mimi, June 28.-This afternoon
concluded, at the Faribault park, the second
three days meeting of the Minnesota summer
circuit The attendance not large it
should have been considering the fine field of
horses that have been brought into the circuit
People will 60 long distance and spend their
money freely to see circus or minstrel troupe,
but when it comes to a horse race their moral
sensibilities receive shock as if struck by an
electric eel. They will drink in the slang
phrases of the clowns at circus
and go wild over a lot of
silly negro songs but little genteel horse talk
stirs up their delicate nerves as much as would
band of Indian warriors bowling their sense
victims. The speed of a horse governs his
value, and how are we to know anything about
his speed if we do not have races. The world
over the horses that have commanded the high
est prices were the fastest and to-day the
world-renowned horses-those that command
their tens of thousands of dollars-are
and t Of Eur ss5s We 'h Win 'G admit
that the temptations for gambling on the turf
are perhaps greater than in many of the other
callings or occupations, but after all there is
more or less gambling and other species of de-
ception in all branches of human affairs. Men
can be as honest on the race track as in the
place they will in another under similar circum-
stances. Life is race, and we are all players
for the highest stakes.
Thus far this circuit apparently, has
been honorable and void of jockey
ing. The horses have been driven
to their best, and the best horses took the
money. The trots have been pretty fair
throughout, and Minnesota may well be proud
of her fine horses. There was but one race to-
day, but it was good one. It comes in tie
ESQ class three in five, for purse of $500;
first, second, third and fourth money, $3.50,
$75, S45 and $50. The judges were J. H. Hard
ing, Faribault; James Archer, Northfeld, and
water, Wis. named b. g. James Lupe;
John j.. Cooke, Rochester, Mimi,
b. l. .. Star of the West, Jr.; George Spicer,

May Queen. The start was in the order named.
They got good send-off and away they spun,
with Wapsey ahead and Dutchy some distance
behind. After the first half mile the Dutch
man climbed up, and with his long, swinging
gait he passed one after another like the wind
and came under the wire some distance ahead
of all competitors, Wapsey next, and the others
not far away-al but May Queen She was
distanced.
Considerable scoring was INDUCED in before
they got away in the second heat and the
judges began to geta little cross, but after
about half an hour the word go was given and
they shot out. Dutchman didn't like the way
things were going, SO he broke early in the
start, and on the last half mile was fully
twenty rods behind, but he saw what was in the
wind and began to reach out as if it were life or
death, and about this time witnessed per-
haps the prettiest burst of speed ever seen
in the State. One horse after another was
passed. until it was neck and neck between
him and Lupe, when the former settled into
his steady swing and came down to the home
stretch, the last quarter in thirty-six seconds.
1t was said portion of the heat was trotted by
Dutchman at the rate of quarter in thirty
four seconds when he was passing his COM
petitors.
The third and last heat was trotted very
quietly, with Lupe ahead until the last quar-
ter, when Dutchman stepped to the
front and came in without any
excitement, with Lupe second, Wapsey Boy
third, and Star of the West, Jr., distanced for
running. 1t was an interesting race, because
there were three noted horses-Lupe Wapsey
Boy and Dutchman.
