Union Dricing Park and Exposition
Grounds.
The GLOBE on Saturday morning, in ad-
vance of all contemporaries, announced
that the much talked of union of st. Paul
and Minneapolis in securing permanent
driving park and exposition grounds was
in fair way of being carried out. The
statement made was the results of a meet
ing held the day before, attended by prom
inent citizens of the two cities, at which it
was decided to lease of Mr.. Tatmer, of
Cincinnati. one hundred acres of land, ad-
joining the Union stock yards, midway be-
tween the cities, for term of twenty-five
years. and that $4,000 should be raised at
once, to build the track, and provide build
ings, etc.
The GLOBE is modest paper, but it
must be pardoned for saying that this very
important project was first preached and
advocated through these columns, and that
in consequence of that agitation several
meetings were held, attended by many of
two or three from Minneapolis, but moth
ing much was accomplished owing to the
lukewarmness shown by the Minneapoli-
tans. At that time the ground that it is
now =. opposed to lease, could have been
bought for far less sum than is to be
paid for the twenty five years lease. Since
then the property has more than doubled
in value, and long before the lease will ex
pire it will without doubt more
than double again, all of which
would have Injured to the benefit of the as
ISOLATION, had the project been consum-
mated, as the GLOBE urged.
But the main desire of the GLOBE then
was to see union driving park and ex-
position grounds established, and this can
be accomplished just as well by leasing
property as by purchasing it, Though
the latter plan gives a much more
substantial tenure) and it therefore gives
the new movement most hearty endorse
ment, and it hopes that the gentlemen who
are moving in the matter, will allow moth
ing to interfere with a speedy settlement
of all details, and an early commencement
of work in preparing the grounds, and
putting up the necessary buildings, in
readiness for a grand inaugural meeting
not later than the latter part of June next.
Midtcay Park Notes.
Mr.. D. W. Woodmansee has returned
from his trip to Erdenheim- N. w.
K1ttson's thoroughbred breeding farm
where he went with car load of thorough
breds from Midway, as announced in the
GLOBE at the time of shipment. ''Knap-
sack'' Mccarthy, who drove the Midway
trotters the past season, accom-
panied Mr.. Woodmansee as far East as
Chicago, where he stopped and still re-
mains. The GLOBE mentions this fact at
this time simply for the purpose of estab-
fishing the correctness of former item,
denied by the p. p. that ''Knapsack"
had been discharged from
the service of Com. Kittson.
The GLOBE is liable to err in judgment
upon horse matters, and in conclusions
drawn from certain combination of
stated factors, but when it states an item
of horse news, it wants all horsemen to
understand whereof it speaks.
Tomorrow Or Wednesday another car
load of thoroughbreds will be shipped
from Midway to Erdenheim, in
charge of Mr.. Woodmansee. The shipment
includes the following:
Bric-a-Brac, b. m. foaled 1870, sire Bon
