of Trotters-Racing at Red Wing.
In order to better accommodate the rush of
exhibitors for the State fair, Secretary Judson
has secured quarters for himself and force in
the Chamber of commerce rooms, where he can
be found after 2 o. clock to-day.
Exhibitors should bear in mind that the
great fair is to open Monday morning prompt,
Sept. 2, and continue during the entire week.
1t will therefore be necessary for all to have
their stock and other exhibits on the grounds
and in place not later than the preceding Sat-
urday President Finch intends to have all
the buildings completed this week, which will
give the whole of the week following
for the reception and arranging of
goods. ETC. The railroad track into the
grounds will also be completed this week,
which will greatly facilitate the shipment of
heavy articles and stock to the grounds, entries
from abroad going directly to the grounds
without transfer.
The fruit growers and stock breeders of Ram
sey county are to be very creditably represent
ed. Among those who intend to be largely
represented are Truman M. Smith, VIM. K.
Brimhall, j. r. Knaphide and Sam Deering. A
feature of the fruit exhibition will be live
trees, transplanted to receptacles prepared in
the building
FREE TRANSPORTATION.
From the following, which We find in Dunto,a's
Spirit tile Turf, it will be seen that the So
ciety will transport all horses entering for the
races free from either Chicago or Milwaukee to
st. Paul BY this action horses taking part in the
State fair races were placed on the same foot
ing for the meetings of the great Western cir
cult, as those entered at Minneapolis. The
Turf says
''The st. Paul Driving Park association have
this day authorized us to announce that all
horses entered for the Minnesota State fair will
be transported from Chicago or from Milwau-
kee to st. Paul. free of charge for freight The
generous rivalry which subsists between the
two cities, st. Paul and Minneapolis has been
the means of broadening the ideas of horsemen
all over the country, and it will be long time
before the season of 1878 will be forgotten fol
many reasons. We have the authority of the
president of the st. Paul association, Geo. r.
Finch, Esq, for making this announcement
which will also be found in our advertising
columns"
EDWIN FORREST.
The Kentucky Lie Stock Record states that
'Mr. Jas. Haddock Harrisonville, Mo-, has
sold to Chas. S. Babylon, L. l., the bay gelding
Edwin Forrest, seven years old, by Brannock's
Edwin Forrest, Jr, of Jas. Millers Joe
Downing said to be by Flight, son of imp.
Leviathan, for $4,000. Edwin Forrest is one
of the trotting wonders, his performances al
Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, and Utica
though trotting in the 1924 class, showing him
to be one of the fastest horses now on the turf
At Utica, as stated in the Geographic report to
the GLOBE, he trotted the first heat, with
large field of horses to make trouble
in 2:18, making the second quarter and foul
lengths in 324 seconds at the rate of better
than 2:09 for the full mile. In getting into
the hands of Mr.. Green, he has fallen to the
care of one of the most careful, udicious and
honest drivers in the country, and it would b.
no surprise to those who know the capabilities
of the horse, to see him in Mr.. GREEN'S hands
lower the unparalleled 2:l34 of Royal Rarus be
fore the season closes. MIR. Green will have hi
entire stable of trotters at the State fair. Ii

In the black mare Dame Trot, Mr. Green ha
of the gamest and most reliable animal
on the turf. Entered through the great eastern
circuit in the 2:34, she won the at Cleve
land, Buffalo and Rochester in command
ing style, and with apparently con
siderable speed remaining, trotting all he
heats in from 221 to 2:24. Mr.. Green's stable
will be one of the principal attractions of tn
fair, in the horse line, Great Eastern's pei
formances on two days of the fair, being spec
tally attractive.
