Arrangements for Its Observance To-Day
Annual Address by Hon. Gordon e.
Cole.
It is now six years since there has been any
general observance of Decoration Day" In
st. Paul. The time was when the day was OBJ
served here with great pomp and ceremony,
and while the elaborate display is not essen
tial, it is highly appropriate that there should
be hearty recognition of the services of the
citizen soldiery who sleep In our cemeteries.
To-day the banks will close at noon and there
will be general half holiday in the business
circles Of the city. All ex-sodiers and as many
citizens as are inclined to join, are requested
to assemble at Court House square shortly at
ter moor, each one equipped with bouquet OF
flowers. Ladies interested are requested to as
semble at Market hall during the forenoon to
arrange the flowers.
The orator of the day will be Hon. Gordon E.
Cole, of Faribault, who will undoubtedly
supply an able and entertaining address.
The procession will form at Court House
square at 1:30 P. M, in the following order:
Chief Marshal-Col. W. n. Taylor.
Platoon of Police.
Orator Of the Day and Chaplainin Carriage.
Band Of Music
Ex-Soldiers with Flags and Flowers.
Citizens on Foot and In Carriages.
The order of march will be as follows:
Down Wsbbshaw to Third; down Third to jack
son; up jackson to Tenth: out Tenth to Rice; ont
Rice to junction with St. Peter where the procession
will halt, and that portion going to tho Catholic and
Lutheran cemeteries will file of and the remainder

st, Paul Drifting Club.

The name looks good in print sounds good
as 1t is pronounced, and in the absence oi
something better, should be borne by good
live organization in st. Paul for the support
and encouragem INT of road driving and turf
sports Minneapolis has such an organiza-
ton composed of some of the best known and
most enterprising of its citizens, un-
der whose auspices, as the horsemen OF
st. Paul know to their pleasure, series OF in
teresting trotting matinees were given last
season, and a similar programme is being
provided for this season. Lake City, Still
water Red Wing, Hastings, Faribault, Owa-
tonna, Preston, Moorhead, Mankato, and other
towns in the State, having in their midst not
one fine roadster or trotter where st. Paul has
five, have their organizations, while st. Paul
has none.
The St. Paul Driving Park property has now
passed into private hands, and while Com
modore Kittson will undoubtedly be willing
to do everything reasonable in the way of
affording accommodations for driving upon
his track, even allowing of matinees
and perhaps trotting meetings, the
track can no longer be depended upon for
public meetings, or as place where drivers
can train their horses and prepare them for
the racing season.
But even if it could, there should be regu-
lar organization-a head to look after and ar
range such matters. Already we have re-
ceived inquiries from outside points with re-
ference to trotting circuit. The horse inter
est is growing very rapidly all over the State,
while here in St. Paul, owing largely to the
extensive purchases of Mr.. Kittson, it is just
booming, and something should be done to
organize the interest, go as to make it avail
able when necessary.
A point that it might perhaps be well to
consider at this time, is whether the time has
not arrived for q union of action between st.
Paul and Minneapolis, towards establishing
about midway between the two cities, a
permanent Driving park, to be used for public
races and annual exhibitions. Such scheme
was suggested few years ago and met with
considerable favor. 1t is understood that the
grounds of the Minneapolis park cannot be
held much longer for its pres
ent use, and if they could, it
is a question if the best interests of the
horsemen of the two cities would not be better
conserved by union of forces upon joint
grounds. The G. NJ, & st. P. short line and
ties for reaching such grounds, much better
Driving park.
But this is matter that can be considered
leisurely. The first thing is St.
Paul organization, and to this
end a meeting should be held
this week, say at the Merchants Friday or
Saturday evening, to take the initiative.
What say you, Messrs. Beaupre, Kttson, Mer-
riam, Finch, Allen, Hill, Marratt, DeGraff,
McGrath, Fetsch, Chin, King, Mcnamara,
Burwell, ct al? Set the ball rolling.
