Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1879-07-06

The summer meeting at the st. Paul
Driving Park, under the auspices of the Min
nesota Stock Breeders Association, was
brought to close yesterday, under unfavor-
able circumstances. In the first place the
weather was threatening, slight sprinkle at
noon, followed by an overcast sky, lettering
all but inveterate lovers of turf sports fro m
attendance. This and other causes served to
make the attendance distressingly light.
Another dissatisfaction resulted from the
fact that two of the races were declared off,
the 2:2S trotting class, and running "a mile
dash, the Judges deciding that the time,
under the advertised regulations of the race,
would not allow of their being called.
But the two races last, the 2:37 and 4-year-
old classes for trotters, proved interesting
events, the first class, as predicted by the
GLOBE, proving the race of the meeting, as
details below will show:
THE 2:37 TRoTTERs.

Second heat-The horses we're sent off
with Bay Charley in the lead, but he only
held it to the turn, when King, Belle and

meeting. All went off level, with only

ton the beat was trotted until the home was
reached, when Susie lost her feet and King

without further change, Belle, King Susie
and Prince. Time 2,3312.
Mambrimo, Prince not having won a
heat in five was sent to the stable under the
rules.
Sixth Heat-This was very unsatisfac-
tory heat all around. The horses got good
send off but on the turn Col. King and Flora
Belle left their feet and INDUCED in quite
lively run, which was repeated
several times before the out
come. Susie made one break, gaining
nothing by it. The wire was passed with
King in the lead, Susie second, Flora Belle
last. The judges took quite long time to
decide, but finally rendered their decision as
above. Time 2:37. The following is the
