An Eastern Correspondent ON IL
New State Fair Grounds.


New State Fair Grounds.
A gentleman from the East, writing to
the Spirit of the Times i'll regard to our cir
cult. fair grounds, horses and climate, has
the following to say, after describing the
organization of the circuit and mentioning
the officers:
The state fair grounds have been selected
as the scene of the coming contest and il
cannot be out of place to say a few words
about this unusually fine park. The grounds
cover an area of two hundred acres the land
being most picturesquely located and diversi-
fled with knobs and wales. This splendid
property was presented to the State Agricul-
tural society by Ramsey county, and is situa-
ted exactly midway between the union depots
of st. Paul and Minneapolis, and can be reached
in fifteen minutes by railway from each CITY,
railroads off which there are two running
into the grounds, have the most perfect ar
engagements possible for handling the travel
The drives from the cities are very pleasant.
through delightful suburbs. Fine buildings
of great size and architectural beauty have
been erected, and the process of embellishing
the handsome property is proceeding rapidly.
1t will be but a few years before the grounds
rival in beauty and completeness any in the
world. On the 200 acres there was but one
plateau, and that appeared to have been nat
urally designed for O race track-at least
that was the impression of Mr.. G. A he
Graft, the vice-president Of the society last
year, and he proceeded to build track COM
mensurate with the Importance and magni-
tude of the entire undertaking.
THE TRACK.
1t is unnecessary to say that whatever Mr.
De Graft, that prince of breeders and elegant
gentleman, undertakes he does thoroughly.
and i'll the work to which he was delegated hv
his brother officers he gave his personal at
tention, con amore, producing O speeding
course which is acknowledged to be one of
the best, safest and fastest in the W hole coun-
try. 1t is regulation mile, differing. how
ever, from many in that it has but two turns
and two stretches. The turns are well thrown
up. so that 8 horse can move around them
with the same case and steadiness as along
the stretches. Going away from the wire
there is slight rise, always n benefit to n
horse after frequent scoring, while DO h the
stretches have slight decline The soil of
which the track is built is the best CT NIB ma

Local Horse Notes.

G.. W. Langevin has purchased from Mr..
George A. Nash a bay gelding which is be-
lieved to have q good deal of speed. He will
be placed in the hands of Mr.. c. Q. Weeks, at
the state fair grounds, with a view of giving
him an opportunity to show whether or not
he has anything in him worth cultivating. He
has trotted on the road at pace that indi-
Gates that he can now go close to $3.50. His
breeding is such as to warrant his owner in
expecting something from him. He was
bred by A. Post of Faribault. His sire is
Volunteer Chief, 1899, by Goldsmith's Volun-
teer, 55. His dam was by a son of Black
burns Whip. There is no knowing but Mr..
Langevin has drawn prize in this gelding.
Mr.. Ben WOodmansee, who has been in
California for nearly year, has returned,
and located himself and family at Anoka,
where he has purchased lot and will build a
residence. 1t is quite probable that he will
hereafter reside there. Mr.. Woodmansee has
been the superintendent for Commodore
KittSon at Midway since the stables were
established there. His health failed until it
became a serious matter with him, and he ac-
cordingly went to California. He is very
pleasant gentleman, and has the respect and
esteem OF all that ever had relations with
him.
The citizens Of Devils Lake, Oak, will hold
a stock show and three days. races July l,

awarded. On the first day, July l, the pro-
gram will be: Pacing, free-for-all, purse $S5;

q mule race. best two in three, half-mile
heats $50. Third day, free-for-all trotting,
1915; pony race, purse $50. The purses will
be divided into three parts.
Mr.. 7. B. Marratt sent his stable to Free
port, where he entered his horses in the races.
Gen. Sibley was sick, and he endeavored to
draw him. but'was not allowed to do so. He
was distanced. His mare, Capitola, won her
race like little lady in three straight heats,
the fastest being in 2:26.
On the Sth inst, Daisy Tramp, belonging to
w. l.. McGrath dropped handsome bay
filly with a star, right hind foot white, by
Theseus. There is something rather peculiar
about this horse. He is a gray, and always
gets bay colts, Ind none fail to have a star in
the forehead.
