R. G. Judson, secretary of the State
Agricultural society, as all good men do,
likes horse and will sit up all night to
talk about the noble animal and then
start off on long railroad ride to look at
and comment on the good points of equine
beauties offered for inspection, and i'm
agine himself the happiest man alive
that the opportunity offered. Being
this kind of a horseman it always
does US good to see that his worth is
recognized away from home, and therefore
take special pleasure in reproducing the
following which we find in The Advocate,
the leading paper of Elgin, Illinois: "The
Minnesota state fair will be held at the
thriving city of Owatonna in September
next, and it will be boomer. Minnesota
is a young state but she is old in the fair
business and Illinois could learn something
to advantage by taking few lessons from
the managers. The secretary, Mr.. r. G..
JUdson, is one of the most energetic, push
ing fellows we know of and when he takes
hold there is no such word as fail about
the fair. Minnesota owes him big pile
for the way he has succeeded in getting
up good fairs. He believes in keeping to
the the front. A well managed state fair
is good thing and helps to bring a state
into prominence better than anything else.
When the agricultural interests are cared
for all else prosper"
GENTLEMEN's DRIVING CLUB.
In obedience to the request of a number
of owners of road horses in the city, a
meeting is hereby called ct the
Merchants hotel at 8 o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon for the purpose of organizing a
Gentlemen's Driving club. 1t is not pro-
posed in this to organize q Driving Park
association, but simply to organize club
of gentlemen, owners of road horses, SINH
lar to the organization which has now been
in successful operation in Minneapolis for
the past four years, for the purpose of hav-
ing central body by and through
which matinees may be arranged and car
ried out, and generally to cooperate to
keep alive and strengthen the interest now
felt in road riding and turf sports. The
Minneapolis club has been the means of
attending the people of that city large
number of friendly races in addition to
giving several good meetings, which have
there is no reason why the same result can
not be achieved here, if owners of fast
road horses will only take hold of
the matter. Remember the time
is o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the
Merchants hotel.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Midway stable seems to be getting
into shape under John Splan's handling.
Gem got third place in
the free-for-all pacing class
which required five heats to settle. Flora
Belle and Fuller making dead in the first
heat, Fuller winning the second and Flora
Belle taking the next three in PIG, 2:1715
and 2:19lI, Gem a good second in each.
Then Minnie R, was good fourth in the
PIG class in fast time, while Fannie With
erspoon trailed st. Julien out in hippo
drome. Best heat 2:1SI. In an exhibit
ton Little Brown jug paced full mile in
2:1514, showing that he is recovering his
speed, while Pilgrim, the green son of
Smuggler, was given an exhibition mile,
trotting the last half in 1:07I, 2:1512
gait.
The Minnesota state fair to be held at
Owatonna in September next will I'M
doubtedly be equally as successful in the
way of exhibitions of farm products, fine
stock, handsom women, pretty girls and
manly looking men as any of its prede-
cessors. As there is likely to be great
crowd. The GLOBE urges Clark Chambers
to hurry up and finish that new house to
the end that its representatives will not be
compelled to camp on the prairie during
the show, the senior turf editor has late
ly taken to milk as a beverage and Secre-
tary Judson AYERS that the manner in
which he gets away with sundry goblets of
the Tactical fluid, is fearful and wonderful
to behold.
