with them. Otherwise the Minnesota
club would have been represented in
recent races, and. as the men are in
good rowing form, some thing sub

of the cattle department of the state
fair show, was at the Merchants yester-
day. "Already 400 applications have
been received" he remarked, from

Inspector George Hays, "have no idea
of the benefit navigation has received
