Monroe Chief against Commodore Kittson's
Won Arnim for 81, 500, has been accepted, and
that CJl. King, by adding 50 ,500-thus max
ing the race for 7,500-has secured the race
for Minneapolis exposition week. We have
also in this department stated that the race
was to be for blood, and expressed the opin
