Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1878-06-22

The summer meeting at Mankato the present
week, of which the GLOBE has given full and
interesting reports, has been most hattering
success. The field of horses it brought to-
gether, both in the number and speed, was prob
ably the finest ever in the State. The differ
ent events resulted in some startling surprises,
as, for instance, when Wild Irishman Dutch
man, Wapsey Boy, green horses without
record, put in their heats all along in the 8 IS.
The ult is suggestive, and turfmen who have
not already done SO, would do we'll to look
over the reports of the races. and make their
calculations as to the drift of the times as thus
outlined.
