been arranged for each day of the grand expo
sitio1, unusually rich and varied pro-
gramme, better than ever before given in the
State, has been provided for to-day. First
among the extraordinary events of the day Will
be exhibition rifle shots by the renowned DR..
Carver, the champion of tho world, whose re-
markable exhibitions on the two preceding
days of the fair have fairly electrified specta-
tors. This exhibition will take place
at ll:30 A. NJ. Then at l:30
z. NJ. the world renowned Capt. Bogardus,
who has honestly earned the right to wear the
title of the champion wing shot of the world,
by beating the crack shots of both henis-
pheres, will appear in his great challenge shoot,
open to all competitors that of breaking 500
glass balls inside of forty minutes, the balls to
be sprung from two more traps, the captain
loading his own guns, and using three of diff
ferent lengths and charges of powder. Capt.
Bosardus expects to excel any previous per-
formauce in this line on this occasion. To
add to the interest in the result, he has,
as announced in yesterday e issue of the GI.oBE,
issued challenge without any bar, 8 900 to
S50O, that his score in this shoot cannot be
equalled by any other marksman, and to sht.w
that he means business he has deposited $500
forfeit With Secretary Judson. The party pro-
posing to accept this challenge will be expected
to deposit his stake before he commences his
shoot to-day, to commence at 1:30. The Cap
tain also desires that it should be understood
count against the shooter, his desire being that
the contest, if any takes place, shall be settled
on the merits of the marksman, and not by
chance.
The first racing event is to be the much
talked OF and anxiously looked for breeders
colt stake trot, with the following five entries

Hi Adams, bl. f. Fly.
Following this interesting contest, or sand
witched between the heats, commencing at p.
NJ, Royal Rarus, the King of the Turf, will
make the great effort of his life, an attempt to
beat his own unriyaled performance, that of
trotting full mile in 2:134 Mr.
Splan, the gentleman who manages his
kingship, assured the reporter late
last night that his horse was never in finer
condition than he now appears at the st. Paul
driving park, that he considered the track Il
fast one, and that ho believed he would accom-
plish the great feat marked out for
him. hIr. Splan also desired the GLOBE to an
nonnce that in acknowledgement of the gener-
GUS treatment of the State fair manage ment,
and the courteses extended him by the people
of st. Paul generally, he would have Rarus on
exhibition at his stable on the fair grounds
from to 1880 this forenoon, during which
time he would be glad to see everybody. For
this generous offer MIR. Splan was given vote
of thanks by the board. Whoo, Rarus.
Following this comes trottng in the 22O
class, in which will appear the gamey Dame
Trot. driven by Chas s. Green, Wolford 4,
driven by John Splan, Foxie v, Badger Girl
and other flyers. This will be a race worth
travelling many miles to see the more espec-
tally from the fact of the contest for suprem-
: acy between Dame I'rot and Wolford T.
The closing track event of the day will be the
hurdle racing, in which the gentlemen of the
Fairmont hunt and several other gentlemen
Will participate. This novel race will be most
stubbornly and gallantly contested, and will
afford as much genuine amusement as any fea-
ture of the surprisingly rioh programme.
