Programme Tor Summer Meeting-Thre
Days Of Trotting and Running.

Days of Trotting and Russning.
At the annual meeting Of the State Stock
Breeders association, it was decided to hold
summer running and trotting meeting
upon the grounds of the st. Paul Driving
Park association, the date selected being
July 2, 8, and 4, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. Having thus decided it was
thought the breeding and turf interests of
the State would be best subserved by max
ing the meeting of the Breeders
association nucleus of rae
ing circuit. Correspondence followed
with the various associations of the
State, and the result was that several gentle
men connected with the St. Paul, Minneapo-
lis and Saltwater associations, met at the
Office of r. Barden, in this city, yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of forming such
a circuit.
The conference demonstrated that with
the exception, perhaps, of the Red Wing
association. the Minnesota circuit this year
would De made up of only the associations
named above, those of Mankato, Faribault
and Owatonna, all of whom gave meet
ings last year which resulted
in losses, having decided to rest on their lau-
Such being the case, the gentlemen pres
ent, encouraged by the recollection that the
most successful meeting ever held in the
State was four years ago, when st. Paul. Min
neapolis and Saltwater joined hands, went
in and made up programme, to include q
three days running and trotting meeting for
each of the three associations, the first to be
held atiSt. Paul the first week in July, the
second at Minneapolis the second week, and
the third at Saltwater the third week of that
month. It is also possible that the Red
| Wing association may decide to join the
circuit, either taking the week preceding the
st. Paul meeting or following that at Still
water. There being no certainty as to this,
however, the programme was arranged for
the three associations represented, and is as
follows:
Trotting, 300 class 5000, $115, $50,
$35.
Running, years old, mile and repeat
5000, $40, $40, 800.

trance, the association to add 800.
1t will be seen that in making up the pro-
gramme the running and trotting interests
have both been recognized. It will also be
noticed that the Minnesota breeders stake
trottlng race, inaugurated at the State fair
meeting last fall, has been remembered by
the naming of two events for Minnesota
bred and owned colts, one for three-year.
o!ds and one for four-year-
Odds. These events ought and
probably will attract the attention of our
breeders, especially the latter, for which the
colts trotting in their 3-year-old form here
and at Minneapolis last year, aud making
good records for themselves. Probably ali
OF these will appear in the forthcoming
meetings to review the contest of last season
which of itself would make an interesting
event. But it is also known that there are
quite number of colts eligible to this race
whose owners, through timidity, failed to
enter them last year, who will probably be
entered in these races, thus adding to
| the general interest, and to the value of the
stake. The stake races will be divided in
the same proportions as the regular purse
events.
Should not the Red Wing association de-
eide to come in, entries for the circuit will
close Saturday, at PM, the 28th of June.
In case Red Wing joins and chooses the
week in advance of st. Paul, entries will
close Tuesday, at P. NJ, June "a. Commu-
nications in reference to the St. Paul and
minneapolis meetings will receive attention
