the grandest and most attractive fair cir
cult ever organized in the northwest. For

tary, Rochester, MINI.
Leonates must be a pampeled equine
patrician, according to the following re-
port in the Spirit from Saratoga: sack
Chinn says trio of Immaculate dudes ap-
preached Mr.. Morgan, at the branch, and
begged to inquire how the great son of
Longfellow was prepared for his races,
was ne given food different from that of
common thoroughbreds, and surely he
didn't sleep in an ordinary plebeian horse
stall. mo, no." responded the Kentucki-
an, without cracking smile, ''Leonatus
sleeps on an elegant feather bed; he eats
nothing but green apple pie every day,
and he never misses a pie. or a gallopw
The dudes departed with an addition to
their already amazing stock of knowl-
edge"
By his performance in winning the
wager in the race against A..
b. Lasher's PAGER at Midway,
Friday, Mr.. McIntosh's trotting
pony gets record of 2:4415, while the
PAGER, though doing the mile nine seconds
faster but losing the race, gets no record.
Mr.. Mcintosh picked up the pony in a re-
cent cattle purchasing expedition in south
western Minnesota. A number of year
lings broke away from the drove and scat
tered through the woods. He borrowed the
pony to hunt them up, and while riding to
head off some of the strays, the pony
struck trot that astonished him, and the
consequence was his purchase. He is a
square and courageous trotter, and his
present record is no measure of his speed
if conditioned.
Com. Kittson's running string made four
starts at Monmouth park last week, but
were not fortunate enough to make win
ming. The starts were the 2-year old Oh. G..
Perilous by Alarmdam Delight who finished
third to Thackeray by Great Tom and King
Ernest by Cyclone; the 2-year old filly Abba
by Alarm, dam Elastic, who finished third
to Water Lily by King Alfonso, and Leo
by Duke Of Magenta, CPerilous being
among those running unplaced) and the
3-year old br. f Bric-a-Brac by imp. Bon
ME Scotland dam Ermengarde, who fin
ished seventh with two behind her in a run
of a mile and quarter. The Spirit re-
port says: "Albia ran capital third not
making her running until the last two
hundred yards.''
We are pleased to learn that twenty-five
of the leading citizens of Red Wing have
become owners of the Driving park prop
erty, paid off the Indebtedness against the
old association, and that with clean books
and lots of energy and faith that good
luck is in store for them, are preparing the
programme for fair and racing meeting
the fourth week in September, following
Hastings. The grounds of the association
are in many respects the finest in the state,
and its half mile track among the very
best. Bad weather followed the
old association relentlessly, hence the
financial embarrassment. The GLOBE
trusts the gentlemen who have now asso-
ciated themselves in the enterprise,
may fare better. The programe for the
fair meeting will be out in few days.
Notwithstanding the liberal purses offer
ed by the Manitoba turf Stub for their fall
racing meeting, aggregating $4,000, we
fear the long distance will deter Minnesota
horsemen generally from putting in an
appearance. When the Fargo association
gets on Its feet again and invites our
horsemen to accept their hospitality and
compete for the money they may hang up
the liberality of the Manitoba
club will be literally re-
sponded to by Minnesota horsemeu. The
meeting commences Sept. IL, and is to
continue four days. The purses in which
Minnesota horses can compete are the
800, 2:36, 2:4O, 2:29 and free to all trot-
ters, purses ranging from $500 to $500;
running, two mile dash, $4O0; running,
half mile heats, 3 in 5, $4OO; running, mile
heats, 2 in 3, $400; hurdle race, $500; run
ming, one and half mile dash, $500. A
special purse of $1,000 is offered for
trial by Com. Kittson's PAGER, Little Brown
jug, to beat his record, 2;11A. Entries
close Sept. 1.
The Omnibus Stakes at Saratoga, in
which Chinn & Morgan's great colt Leo
natus, will make his first appearance in a
race in the east, if all right, will be run Sat
urday next. AS Drake Garter has beaten
both George Kinney and Barnes, the
Dwyer cracks, it would look as if Leonatus
would have an easy victory, that is, of
course,if IN condition, though the knowing
ones report P. Lorillard's Pizzaro as show
ing up unusually well of late. The next
appearance of Leonatus will probably be

association to bring all the cracks to-
gether, including Iroquois, the Derby win
ner, for which the entries in addition to
Iroquois, are Monitor, Eole, Pizzaro,
Barnes, George Kinney, Miss Woodford
and Leonatus. For the Select stakes, a
post sweepstakes for two-year-olds, to be
run the same day, August 25, the nomina-
nators are Commodore Kittson, Clipsiana

The black pacing horse owned by Mr..
A. B. Lasher, of st. Paul, by his perform
ance over the mile track at Midway, on
Saturday afternoon last, most completely
vindicated himself from the aspersions
that have been cast upon him by the own
ers of rival roadsters, namely, 'that al
though he is a fine looking horse and very
speedy at a short brush on the road, yet he
Is not horse of pluck and endurance,
being both unable and unwilling to pace
fast for any distance beyond road brush"
Such has been the talk of his back cappers
IN the past, which was sud
denly changed on this occasion,
when he passed under the wire, after pac-
ing a mile through the mud, in 2:3515.
