per cent, and the races will be governed by the
rules CT the National association.
The above events, with the almost number
less other attractions in the shape of blooded
horses and cattle on exhibition, machinery,
grain, floral, fancy exhibits, ETC., ETC., would
satisfy any ordinary exposition manager, but
not SO with Col. King, who follows it with
one of the most stupendous announcements Of
the day, it being nothing more or less than

This makes the aggregate of money to be
competed for in track contests daring the
week, almost $50, 000-certainly prIncely
sum to be hung up by single association,
especially in frontier state like Minnesota.
But it is not so much in the liberality of his
purses, as in the rare discrimination shown by
Col. King in selecting prime attractions, that
he has demonstrated his great manage
rial capacity. In his programme he
has SO blended his events, that
on every day of the exhibition there Will be
some commanding attraction that will oper-
ate like ''poor mans plaster" aud draw all
classes of people to the grounds. The breeder
and the veteran turtle will of course find
their inspiration in the regular racing pro-
gramme, while the four twenty-mile events
will hold the undivided attention of all.
The commanding events of the week are of
course the twenty mile races and the free for
all pacing and the trot for four-yea Odds and
under, introducing the famous colts Phil
Thompson, Jay-Eye-S See, Bronze and Waiting.
The struggle between these grand colts at the
Chicago meeting is the most remarkable in
the annals of the turf, and it will live in
history as has the famous running race
of Boston and Fashion. A race of
seven heats before decided, and all heats trot-
"a
2:2315, without injury to the colts, who are
trotting better to-day than at the time of the
race, tells more forcibly than column of fine
writing the high and exciting quality of
the sport to be witnessed in this race. At
both Chicago and Cleveland the pacing races
proved the most exciting contests of the
meeting, seven heats being required to develop
the winner, each heat being SO closely con-
tested that it was impossible to pick the win.
ner until the wire was passed. An added in
terest will be given to this race at Minneapo
lis, from the fact that Com. Kittson's famous
side wheeler, Little Brown jug, barred
through the eastern circuit, is to be given his
head in company, the owners of several others
of the horses named to start feeling con-
fident of the ability of their represen-
tative to win his present laurels from him
OF the twenty mile performers, Miss Belle
Cook and Miss Emma Jewett have both ap-
peared on the Minneapolis track and their
standing as accomplished and daring horse
women is established. Miss Minnie Owen, of
Goodhue county, shas ridden several long dis
lance races at interior points, showing skill ia
managings her horses an easy scat and great
endurance, SO that Miss Jewett will find in
her a most worthy competitor. Little Cricket
and Myrtle Peak are the phenomenal long dis
tance eQeustriennes of the country. They are
misses of only sixteen years of age, weight
less than 100 lbs, and ride with an abandon
truly wonderful. Little Cricket travels with
her own Steeds, which would naturallyiglVe ner
little advantage, but Col. King says that Miss
Peak shall have equally good if not better
horses, if they are to be found in the country.
The other long distance rider is the Mexican
dare devil Edwardo Espiuosa; who some time
since challenged Miss Belle Cook for TWEEN
ty.mie race for 81 500 side. Miss Cook ac-
cepted the challenge, and Col. King at once
foreseeing what card the race would be Of
fered the parties $4,000 to ride it over the
Minneapolis track exposition week, the offer
being accepted.
This is the track bill of fare for exposition
week at Minneapolis, aud any one who cannot
appreciate the rich dishes must be troubled
with bad case of turf dyspepsia, and had bet
ter stay at home.
The Stations Louis Napoleon and MANI
brinO Gift.
All stock breeders will recollect the bitter
contest occurring at the Michigan state fair
three or four years ago between the owners of
the stations Mambrino Gift and Louis Ma
poleon, the owners of Gift withdrawing that
horse as well as all other of their stock from
competition at the fair owing to the action of
the Judges in awarding the first premium as
a sire to Napoleon. The judges formed their
conclusions from!the superior form and action
of the produce of the latter named horse
which were exhibited together with the pro.
