The North western association.

Arrangements have been made for good
deal of good racing in the Northwest this
summer and fall, and the meetings have
been so arranged as to time that the owners
and drivers of horses can travel around
from one gathering to another i'll con-
venient and comparatively inexpensive
manner. First comes the Northwestern
Breeders association. This is the organi-
cation of which Commodore Kittson is the
president 1t is to be held in Chicago
Aug. II. IS, 10 and 90. There seems to be
no reason why this should not be grand
success. The purses are liberal and appear
to be distributed very judiciously indeed.
The dates bring the close of the meeting
up to the beginning of the meeting at Mil
waukee. In addition to the excellent pro-
gram, entries for which have closed with
the most satisfactory results the aSsocia-
ton now invites nominations to a 2:33 trot-
ting class and 2:30 pacing class, each for
purse OF $500, entries for which will close
to-day, Aug. 9. From the great North
western meeting at Chicago, which closes
on the Goth. those engaged in the races can
20 directly to Milwaukee and attend the
Trotting Horse Breeders association. which
commences August "a and continues till
the 27th instant, inclusive. The list of
purses will close on the 14th of August
Nominations are invited to the 2:45, 2:35,
2,30, 1926 and the free for all trotting
classes and the 2:25 class, PAGERS. The
purses in these classes are from $500 to
$500 each. The full program Of the races
which will take place on the Cold Spring
track, will be as follows: On Tuesday,
August "a, the 1926 and the 2:35 tro ting
classes will fill the bill. The 2:25 pacing
class, a 2:20 trotting class, and the two and
four-year-Old stakes are on the card for
Wednesday. The three and five year-old
stakes, and the 2:40 class provide the en-
tertainment for Thursday, and the last day
Of the meeting is devoted to the 2:45 and
the free for all classes. The entrance fee
is ten per cent, one-half Of which must
accompany the nomination. Wisconsin
has many excellent breeding farms. the
association is strong in numbers and in
Huence the Hon. John l.. Mitchell, the
president is a breeder of great enterprise
and one of the leading citizens of the state
1t will be a great surprise if the class purses
Are not well filled.
The close of the meeting at Milwaukee
gives the horses and drivers plenty of time
TO come to the meeting of the Minnesota
State Fair meeting, to be held at the fair
grounds, which begins on August 80 and
continues till September f. This meeting
will be a noticeable event. In addition to
the regular program of the speed depart
ment OF the fair the stakes of the Mime
sofa Association of Trotting and Pacing
Horse-breederS will also be decided. These
stakes are all closed, but they will add
vastly to the interest of the meeting, and
will materially assist in attracting the best
horSemen in the West to the meeting. The
date for closing the regular purse-list is
August Is, and as the time is near at hand,
and the list very important one, the at
tentlon of horSemen is again called to it.
The trotters are offered purses from $500
to 50, 600 in the $3.50. the 2:35, 2:3O, 2:27,
1927, 2:25, 2:20, double teams and special
classes. The PAGERS will fight
purse $500; the 2:25 class, purse $500, and
the free-for-all, purse $1,000. A gentle
mems roadster, with owners to drive, and
four running races complete the bill. This
list of purses and stakes foots up close to
1000, and other meetings whose dates
harmonic make up practically circuit
with purse capacity of $50, 600.
Following the state fair races comes this
circuit arranged by Secretary Judson of the
State Agricultural society, Isaac Staples,
president and Newton McKusck, secretary
of the Saltwater Fair association, and Sen
ator Morrison. president. and c. Van Cam
pen, secretary of the Southern Minnesota
Fair association. At the meeting of these
gentlemen it was arranged to call the be-
ginning of the circuit the state fair meet
ing, to be followed by meeting at Still
water and to close at Rochester, unless
Mankato could be induced to join, to aseer-
tain which MI. McKusick, the secretary of
the meeting. was instructed to open a cor
dependence. In the informal talk that
followed at this meeting it was estimated
that the purses to be hung up by the state
society, Saltwater and Rochester would
aggregate over $50, 600, which ought to Sc
cure extra good attractions. 1t is to be
hoped the Mankato association will see it's
way clear to joining the circuit.
