have filled with large fields of horses. Of
course the star attraction IN this will be the
| great fOur-mile heat race, to be run on Thurs
| day, though each of the other events must,
| from the number and character of the horses
entered, be intensely interesting, For the
opening event, free for ALL there are twenty
one nominations; the Minnesota Derby, six;
handicap for all ages, twelve; and handicap for
three-year- -olds, five. AS will be
seen by an examination of the entries
for these events given below,
many of the best horses of the present year
are named to appear, embracing such well
known performers as Liatuna, Windrush, Clan
Alpine, Jack Haverly, Clifton Bell, Athelstane,
Gov. Neptune, Ollie Baxter, Cinderella, Guy,
and many Others of equal note.
| Under the terms of the four-mile race, the
horses to start are not to be named until Sept.
5, but glance at the nominations, sixteen in
number, furnishes guarantee that the field
and good one. Ry looking at the entries
| made by these nominators for the other run
| nlng events, and we are able to form an opin-
ion as to some of the starters. Thus we see
| that Jas. A. Grfnstead has entered Clan
| Alpine, Jack Haverly and Liatuna, one of
which will probably be reserved for the 4-mile
event, probably the latter. Merrill & Co.,
have Windrush, a good long distance horse.
| n. W. KittsOn will most probably name his
imp. C. m. Dorothy Vernon. George B. Payne,
of Henderson, KY, ought not to have any
trouble in getting 4-miler from his string of
entries. Clifton Bell has Cnderella and Cliff
ton Bell entered from which to select, or per-
haps, he has 4-miier in reserve. ]. s. O'Brlen
of saltwater, appears among those making
nominations. Mr.. O'Brien is fhe
owner of the little bay stallion,
Col. Ricely. Mnnesotans do not
need to be told that the little stallion is fast,
he has proved that on several occasions. He
has had a good rest since the hard campaign
he was given when a 3-year-old, is now
just the right age.for such trying contest as
four-mile race, and if brought to the post in
proper condition, he ought to be very dan
gerous customer. And then there are among
those who have nominated for this race,
number who have not made entries in either
of the events, and it is safe to say they would
not have forwarded their $100, which had to
| accompany each nomination, unless they in
tended to have a horse ready to face the
starter.
Reasoning from the premises above given,
and from the fact that the purse is $4,000
the largest sum ever hung up by any associa-
tion for such an eyent-and it is safe to as
sert that the field of horses which will face
the starter in the 4-mile race, will be
the largest ever seen on any race course in this
country-and that, thanks to the pluck, ener-
gy and liberality of Col. King, future horse
historians, in writing of the notable running
events of the country, will couple the great
4-mile race at the Minneapolis exposition in
the year 1881. with the now historic
Boston and Fashion, Eclipse and Henry, and
other such great struggles which, when they
occurred, in the days of, Aud Lang Syne, draw
people together from every State in the Union
to witness them. No such race as this will
be, has been run in this country for years,
and it is doubtful if such another will be run
for years to come, unless Col. King decides to
repeat another year his triumph of this. But
cur space is too limited to dwell longer on
this great race at this time, and we will bring
our article to close by inviting close ex-
animation of the entries for the different rum
ing events given below. They tell the story
to horsemen better than would columns of
writing. They tell the horseman that the
fields of horses tor each event will be
large, and that when the flag falls there will
be such clatter of hurrying feet, and such
before seen in Minnesota.
