chances are certainly good for Neptune.
His running at St. Louis showed that he had
the necessary speed, and with his STAYING
qualities improved by the added work, ought
to give him a good chance. And Athelstane
and Florence Payne need not be counted out
in specializing upon results.
DON'T FORGET MINNESOTA. .s
Under the above caption Dunton's SPIRIT
Of the Turf of the past week calls attention
to the Stock Breeders Minnesota Circuit.
The 1'urff's reminder is timely, if the warn
ing shall only be needed by the management
of ths circuit. It is now several weeks since
the circuit was announced. In the pro-
gramme meeting was announced at st.
Paul, July Sd, 4th and 9Th, we believe, un-
der the control and management Of the
State Stock Breeders association, Of
which. Hon. VIM. s. King is president.
It is now only three weeks to the St. Paul
meeting. The GLOBE maintains depart
ment devoted to breeding and turf interests
and is anxious to give everything Of interest
in connection with such matters, especially
where our own State and city is interested,
but SO far as the giving of any publicity to
this meeting, the GLOBE, or in fact any
other Minnesota paper, might as

is going to be Minnesota
be well for Mr.. KING to let the matter be
known, through some medium published
within the limits of the State, or at least let
some St. Paul party know what is going on.
The 1a1rf announcement is as follows
Don't forget the Stock Breeders Minnesota
Circuit, for the people of that country are as
warm as two bedfellows, and as pure as they
are warmhearted. Upon this theme we could
fight with our fellows until our pen cannot
make 3 scrawl, if need be, Though we can
never tell why, : unless it is because Minnesota
has on her holiday face the year round. The
poet thus describes the Minnesotians: thine
maytcarve his wrin kles in our face nay, pal 1T
in our hair his silver threads, and with his much
used pencil draw our limbs once buoyant UNI
buoyantly but friendship held once stands
jstiffly yet This is the Minnesotian. If time
must be done in mirth. See their advertise
ment in another part of our paper.
szz6s<. NIB. PATE's v1ND1cAT1oN.
Mr.. r. @. Pate, recently expelled by the
board of review of the National association,
seems to have abandoned the idea of vindi-
eating himself by assisting in the organiza-
ton of an opposition Western as sociation,
and has taken hold of the matter in the
more sensible way of trying to show that
the board has done him an mi ustice. In
this effort Mr.. Pate has the hearty sympa-
thies of the GLOBE. His first step is
the publication of a pamphlet, which
includes documents, letters, kilograms,
afidavits, ETC., in the Forrest case, which led
to his expulsion. 70 this, President Woolley
makes the following handsome reply:
CINCINNATI. O., hlay 26, 1879.-R. G. Pate,
Esq.-Dear Sir: In the matter of the ed win
Forrest" race at Utica, N, T., in 1878, have
your petition accompanied by two afidavits)
requesting me to temporarily restore you to
Ishall refer the petition and af1idavits to the
board of review at its next meeting, as it ia
not in my power to temporarily aid you. That
you were not present at Chicago when your case
was heard may have been unfortunate for you,
but it was by no error on the part of the board.
Your case was carefully considered, after due
notice to you, and q conclusion reached which,
believe, will stand, and this, notwithstanding
the many estimable qualities which You must
certainly possess to impress the various good
fellows who have interceded for you so strongly.
W bile feel more satisfied after reading your
affidavits, than before, that you committed a
great error at Utica, yet avow to you that
ave evidence which goes to show that the
wrong you did was rather the result of your
corrupt surroundings than of your own original
volitlon. In fact have proof that you did
trot your horses to win, did desire to race fair
~. and. probably only yielded to error when it
! seemed to you that the black goddess Of theft
ruled unchalleDged at Utica. The board of
! review will, believe, proportion your punish
ment as is demanded by the mitieations have
detailed, and in due time will restore you to
the turf, when, feel greatly confident, you
will always thereafter aid the board IN Its eff
forts to attain the true ends Of racing. Very
respectfully, g. w. WooLLEY,
President National Turf Association.
