About three miles out on Minnehaha
avenue is situated the Minneapolis
Driving park, amid beautiful surround
ings. The park is entirely new and not
yet completed. The first thing that
meets ones eye ON entering is little
white frame house, situated at the left.
A little farther down are the stables,
SIX in number, small and close together.
FARTHER down, at the middle of the
track, is the grand stand, large and
substantially built. The stand is built
plainly, and has no remarkable
features. Beneath it are located the re-
freshlnent stalls and pool rooms, and
there also have the fakirs. ETC., taken
their stand. Opposite the grand stand
is the judges stand built as usual, and
near by is the band stand. AT the right
as You enter the park are situated the
only other buildings, a row of
stables. Considering the time the
park has been under way
it is in fine condition, and the manage
ment deserve much credit. Fer the
first day there was good attendance,
nearly third of whom were ladies. 1t

showed its appreciation of the races
which were eXcellent-with well timed
applause. The track was in fine shape
and very fast, and excellent time was
made. Millard & Thyle's cavalry band
furnished music.
