The RTcPS.

The weather on yesterday opened fair, but be-
fore the time for calling the races it couded over
and a stiff breeze from the south gave promise of
rain at no distant hour The comments upon
yesterdays races various, but all agreed that
the races were fully up to the promise of the
managers. The small attendance upon so fine
amusement furnished the people was COM
mented upon by every one. Scarcely u city
in the west could be found where
larger crowd could not be got
out where such splendid field
of horses advertised. The association will
be heavy losers at the present rate and the citi-
zens will live to regret that more liberal pat
ronage was not given them. However, the in
augural meeting is grand success, whether the
people of Mankato appreciate it or not, and those
who have come from distance all express them.

trouble and expense of coming. At the close of
the first days races the pool box was opened at
Beckett & Fords and continued for couple of
hours, but not at very brisk rate

the attendance was n little better than the

year old class and Tree Tor all trOtters In thl,
class Kittsou's Won Arnim is entered and the
field contains some fine entries. IL will be the
finest day Of the meeting and ought to draw {

splendid music for the association free. Every
one who likes to see good horse and wants to
see such racing as they cannot hope to see again
in long time in MankatO, ought to turn out
and witness the last day IS races.
