SALTWATER MEETING.

dinner of warmed-over meats, the choice
Eaersels Of which have been eaten already.
The daily reports of the GLOBE gave its
rsaders the choice morsels furnished by the
racing meeting at Lily Lake Park,
Saltwater, Wednesday, Thursday and
FRIDAY of last week. As shown by those
E8Perts the meeting called together a re-
aaIF fne field of horses, and several really
good races were had, notably trotting
N the $50, 2:3O and 1926 and
Sh8 running race, one mile dash. Each Of
tAass events was for blood, each driver and
rider doing his best to win. Had all the
RACES been of the same character, the
Ba8eting would have been far more interest
ing 80 lovers of turf sports, and more
greditable to the parties giving the races,
as also to the horsemen engaged. When
half dozen horses in a race are driven
aOt 10 get a better place than second, AS was
5he case in several of the Saltwater races,
IL Is calculated to disgust every one except
aAs parties directly interested IN the re-
snasY and if persisted in will
eventually kill the spolt. But the ground
for criticism of the Saltwater races is not
confined to the pulling and iockeying of
She drivers to save record, and still get
portion Of the purse. There were crooked
sntTies, how many we are not now pre-
pared to say, but at least one horse was
entered in wrong class. No formal pro-
last was made to the judges, but the
standing Of the horse was talked over in
aheiE hearing, and yet he was allowed
Do 60. How such things are looked upon
by outside horsemen will be seen from the
following, received in Saturdays mail:
PRESTON, MIMI, June %, 1888.
Rriend Wood:-A queer 800 class you had at
Stiilwater. For instance, what was the Or. ..
Peter Farley, by Jesse Stowe, doing in it? Au-
gust 81, 1880, he got a record at Rochester,
Mimi, of 2:45, beating in second heat Nettie
W. Almont Boy and Capt. Capron. But then
hs is better off than some of the rest; his name
has not been changed. There are some men in
shis country who would want to put Maud s. in
a BOO class. Yours truly, NJ T. GRArTAN.
We trust we shall not again have occa-
sloa TO publish a card of the nature of the
above. We desire to cooperate with the
ADr6emen and breeders of the state, in
&rsating and keeping alive a love of turf
sports. But we will not be party to an
OWtEight fraud, nor will we wink at such
9OeSeying and sharp practices as were in
an2ged in by some of the drivers
Mt the Saltwater meeting. The
public who patronize the sport have a right
sDeKpect honest races, and so far as We can
the GLoBE will aid in the realization Of
such reasonable expectations.

WINNIPEG NEXT.
The next meeting in the circuit IS at
Winnipeg, the present week, but we regret
30 announce that owing to the long dis
sancs, over 400 miles, none of the horses
at Saltwater will be represented. To I'LL
ap the gap thus created between Stillwa-
ter and Minneapolis, an effort was made
- have two days meeting either at Has
bings or st. Paul the latter part of the
wseS, but at this writing the indications
are mat nothing can be done, but that the
frs. business for the horses will be at the
MINNEAPoLIs MEETING,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July
