AMONG The HORSES.
Gratifying Results Of the
First Half Of the Race
Meeting.
Northwestern People Take
Very Kindly to the DisSi-
patton Of the World.
Secretary Shaw Says Racing
Has Taken Firm Hold on
the Twin Cities.
So Important a Feature of
Modern Civilization Can
not Be Ignored.

The inaugural meeting, of the Twin
City Jockey club, now in progress, has
been productive of such gratifying re-
suits that it is safe to predict that racing
has taken firm hold upon the people
of the Northwest. Heretofore there has
been surfeit OF trotting meetings.
good. bad and Indifferent. The educa-
ton of Northwestern people in turf
matters has been wholly trotting-their
familiarity with racing being only such
as could be CLEANED from reading. Rae
ing is the fashionable recreation-the
dissipation of the world. 1t is
badge of civilization, what
ever may be said against it,
for where peace and prosperity
flourish there racing is found. The
Twin Cities, marvels of commercial
prosperity and progressive growth,
realize that they can not longer ignore
so important feature of modern civil
eaton as racing, and the attendances at
the first five days of the Jockey club
meeting demonstrate beyond doubt that
the people of this locality are en-
Enthusiastically in favor of a continuance
of these annual events. The success of
the meeting so far proves that solid
foundation for this class of sport has
been laid and indicates larger fields and
tatter purses in the future. Secretary
Shaw, to whose labors is chiefly due
this state of affairs, is very much elated
over the wonderful success of the first
half of this experimental meeting. He
says:
1.-THE meeting so far has been won
derful success. Judging from racing
standpoint it could not have been
more satisfactory. The handicapping
has provoked uniformly close finishes.
The fields, while small, have been
fully as large as we anticipated, and
the only disappointment we have had
to swallow was the non-arrival of Spok-
ane. That, of course, could not have
been guarded against. as the owners of
the famous animal were as anxious to
bring him here as we were to have him
come, but his sickness upset all plans.
The attendanceS have been large and
enthusiastic, there being close to 5000
people present on the opening day, and
the average since has been above 5000.
No track in the West, with the single
exception of Washington park, can
show such figures; and, judged by the
first few days, the meeting will be the
best ever held in the West, except the
one just closed at Chicago, which, taken
as whole, was the mostsuccessful ever
held in the West or East. Our judges
have made no blunders, the facilities
for betters have been ample and the
odds generally long enough to satisfy
any reasonable person. 1t has been
favorites' meeting so far, but patrons
must not forget that there are numerous
short horses who are likely to pluck the
prizes hung up during the last three
days of the meeting"

A Horses Foot.

Since the beginning of time man has
made the horses foot study. realizing
that in order to keep that useful animal
at his best, his feet must be in good con-
dition. One of the most important
steps to take is to have him properly
shod. HorSeshoeing has been reduced
to science, and the wonderful speed
which has been shown by some of our
modern flyers could not have been at
tanned had they not been properly shOd.
The majority of horsemen are inclined
to be careless in the matter of shoeing.
They patroniZe incompetent shoers
until the horses feet are nearly ruined,
and then begin to cast about for an ex-
pert. To these people we should say
that Abe EShelman & Co. will open q

THE NEW RECORD.
Axteli's Performance Checks the
EIectioneer Boom.

AxtelPs Performance Checks the
Electioneer Boom.
The wonderful performance of Axtell
will, in measure, put check to the
Electioneer boom and place zone notch
higher the fame of the Wilkes ambrino
Patchen cross. Like his sire, MambrIno
Patchen has become famous through the
producing capacity of his daughters.
From this fact arises the question: "If
George Wilkes proved a success on
Mambrino Patchen mares. should
not his success be greater when
bred to daughters of Mambrino
Chief. We believe the latter
TO be the case. OF the many
sons of George Wilkes but two are out
two, Red Wilkes and Onward, stand
head and shoulders higher than any
other two sons of George Wilkes as
SireS of speed land race-hOrse qualities;
and Red Wilkes, as the records show,
leads Onward. That Red Wilkes is UNI
doubtedly the best son of the worlds
greatest trotting sire cannot be dis
puted, when we consider that before
his removal to Highland he was bred to
any and all classes of mares, and it is
questionable whether a dozen choice
mares received his attention before his
purchase by Mr.. France. During
that period of partial obscur-
ity, however, he sired amongst
others such wonders as Prince Wilkes,
Play; Phil Thompson, 2:12, and Rope
tition, 1922, neither of which is fashion
able bred on the dams side. At the
close of 1888 Red Wilkes 2:3O list num-
bered twenty, and less than half a dozen
of this number are we'll bred, as the
term goes, on the dams side. Another
and most important factor that should
not be overlooked is the proven cour-
age and stamina of the Red Wilkes fam
lily. We have heard it said that mo
descendant Of George Wilkes was
thoroughly game unless backed
by the blood of Mambrino Chief"
While we are not prepared to accept
this opinion, it is nevertheless true that
the Red Wilkes are rated dead game,
and no one will deny that to the dam Of
this great sire is due large portion of
that essential quality shown by the de-
scendants of her wonderful son.
We believe that the fame of Red
Wilkes at present will sink into in
significance when compared with his
claims for public consideration two
years hence. We believe it safe to pre-
dict that at the close of 1890 Red Wilkes
2:20 performers will equal the 2:30 list
of the majority of the sons of George
Wilkes, and that his number of three
year-olds and under with records of 2 80
or better will be in equal IatiO.

$3.50, while the Junior Champion and
Omnibus, yet to be run, will each be
worth upward of $4,000. Such stakes
as these are well worth the winning,
and owners cannot afford to pass them
by. A case in point is the shortsighted-
ness which kept Ell Rio Rey out of the
Junior Champion. Were he entered in
this he would doubtless start the favor
lite and probably prove the winner. So
that the failure to enter him has posi-
bly, lost his owner many thousands of
dollars.
