to all present. All the trains on the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba road carried
large crowds of people, despite the
unfavorable weather during the first half Of
the day. Had the weather been bright and
clear the crowd would doubtless have been SO
large that 1t would have been an utter impos-
slbllity to furnish accommodations for
them. Az it was the place seemed
overrun and the Harrow house
did the largest days work Of the season. Major
Harrow did everything in his power to enter
tain the throng that besieged the Horrow
house. and to the Majors indefatigable exer-
lions is due much of the sue
cess that attended The DAVIS

during the early part of the afternoon, The rae
ing was quite satisfactory to all present. Dur
ing the latter part of the afternoon the wind
went down, and some good racing was wit
