The entries for the Northwestern circuit
Red Wing, Hastings, Grand Forks, Fargo and
Minneapolis-closed at II o'clock Saturday
night with the secretaries Of the different as
sociations. By some misunderstanding list
of the entries failed to reach us in time for this
issue, but there is hardly room to doubt that
all the classes have filled well.
The purses for the circuit aggregate Sl5,7CO,
and the programme provides for
meeting of two days only at the first two
points named and three days each OF the
last three, at which most liberal purses are
offered.
Attractions at each meeting will be The ap-
pearance of some of The noted representatives
of Commodore Kittson's stable, in special
events, all of the associations excepting hed
Wing giving purses for $3.50, Lady Rolfe and
Fannie Witherspoon for an exhibition trot,
and also for the pacing wonders Little Brown
Jug and Jem, Red Wing only having the lat-
Ter attraction. These exhibitions will prove
decidedly interesting. The horses named are
among the most famous of The turf perform
ers Of the country. They are in fine condition
and will be driven to make good races, though
it will be unreasonable 10 expect any real
sensational time, the cold, backward season
preventing that thorough preparation Heces-
sary for such performances. However, the
patrons of the different associations may con-
tidently look for one of the finest exhibitions
of speed ever seen on race track, and
as fast time as is being made by horses OF their
class in regular races elsewhere.
Little Brown jug, Gem and Fleming Girl,
the litter entered in the 2:32 class, Will 60 to
Red Wing this morning in the Commodore's
elegant palace stock car. In the exhibition
Little Brown jug will be driven by "Knap-
sack" Mccarthy, who gave the little wonder
he hxyH Harry Spo1U So 80
Lady Rolf and Fannie Witherspoon, will re-
main at Midway until week from to-day,
when they will be sent to Hastings where they
are to appear Tuesday in an exhibition trot.
The Grand Central Trotting Circuit.
The official announcement of the programme
for the Grand Central TrottiDg Circuit is now
made public, and is most ad-
mirable one, take it all in all. 1t comprises,
for the first day, purses of 81 500 for the 2:3S
class, and 600 for the 1898 class; for the
second day, 1900 for the 2:29 class, and
800 for all PAGERS, except Little Brown jug;
for the third day, $1,000 for the 2:33 class,
$1,000 special, and 81 500 for the 2:26 class;
and for the fourth day, $4,000 for the 2:20
class, Clingstone barred; $4,000, free for all,
except Maud s., st. Julien, and Trinket; and
S. 500 for trotters without a record. We re-
duce the first two purses of the last day to COM
mon sense terms, and add that the last race
of the meeting, for trotters without records,
is for purse of $1,000 at Buffalo, and has
already closed, with twenty-fiv nominations.
Each of the seven tracks in the circuit gives
$4,000, except Buffalo, where $2l 500 is
Offered, owing to the extra size OF
the purse for the last mentioned
race. The grand total is S141 500. II is
also in contemplation to give ia addition to
the above purse of S1,00O for PAGERS 10 the
2:25 class, and purse of 81 800 for stations
of the 2:25 class. The entries for Pittsburgh,
closes by itself July l, the meeting beginning
July II. Cleveland closes July IL, so thatrecords
at Pittsburgh or Chicago, which is part of
the circuit on time schedule, will not be
bars at Cleveland. Buffalo, Rochester and
Utica close together, July "a, the night be-
fore the Cleveland meeting, and PCughkeepsie
and Hartford close together, August s, the
night of the first day of the Rochester meets
ing. The breaks in the entries provided for
will be found very acceptable to turf patrons,
and as it must necessarily result in better con-
tests, and not in mere repetition Of race at
The different meetings all through the line, as
is almost certain to be the case where the en-
tries for all close at the same time.
