Trotting association was properly
doomed and advertised. The result was
that there was good attendance and
plenty of sport. The officers of the as
ISOLATION thought that hereafter all
that would be necessary would be to
announce that there would be "hosS"
race under their management, and
every one would 20 to il. What mis-
takei Tie races last week were wit
Messed by slim crowds; there wasn't
much sport. and if there was very few
people saw it. The association lost
money, and it was unpleasant all
around. Perhaps the association has
learned the lesson that all similar
organizations must learn in order to be
successful.
In addition to his many other &C
accomplishments as gentleman, lum-
herman and a pOlitic al, Senator D. NJ.
ClOugh proved himself good starting
Judge at the Minnehaha races. He was
fairly prompt in getting the heats
started. and was far less boisterous than
the usual run of judges. Only on the
last day did he get hot at the action of
the Jockeys in the 2:22 trUtting race.
But he did not storm at them or herald
to the grand stand that he was angry.
He rang the bell as the nags came up
after four bad starts. and said quietly
but firmly: "Gcntleman. L want SO
apiece from two drivers" Then he
picked out his men and named them,
and they paid. 1t was all done as pO-
litely as if the starting judge had said:
"What VIII you have??"

A correspondent asks. what are the
ages OF the Minneapolis ball players.
The exact figures are not known, but it
is a fact patent to all that Hengle, Dug
dale, Miller and Hudson are too old to
play ball, while Minnehan, Mitchell,
Duke, Hanrahan, Foster and McVey
are too young. Jantzen, who is not
much OF a catcher but pretty good
pitcher, is just netCen.
Manager Morton, like Chris Won Der
Abe. is travelling under an assumed
name, his real name is said to be
Dennis.
Remey, of the Tribune, is talking of
writing a poem about Morton and his
nine stitfs.
Hengle has not become popular at
home vet, although he has done the best
work at the bat of any member of the
team in the last ten games.
The boys think they lost their mascot

The team will be on the road until
Sept Is, when it returns to wind up the
season with fourteen games on the
games on the home grounds. The final
series will be with st. Joe.
Morton got $3.50 guarantee for the
trip to Aberdeen. He dropped three
games to Des Moines and $500 in re-
ceipts as a consequence. Great finance.
Gam Morton-If l should buy Clark
sen he would fall dead on the street. If
! bought Keefe his arm would drop off.
There has been no kicking about the
umpires lately. The substitution of a
gentleman for the former manager of
st. Paul has quoted the troubled waters.

The political gossip of the past week
has developed what existed in embryo
before. a combine on the part of the old
politicians of the Repub lican party to
do up the kids, and particularly the
crowd known as the Indiana colony.
The combine includes such men as
Iangdon, Fletcher, Petit, the Pills
burys. and others OF the old wheel
horses. They will have the backing of
Freeman Lane, and all that ilk of young
fellows who did not have the luck to be
born in Indiana. The scalps Of Eugene
Hay ami Tim Byrnes. will be sought
with especial vigOr and earnestneSS;
as these young men are easily recog-
niZed as the sauciest and least reverent
of the Indianians and assistant Indian
ians now in the state.
CONGRESSMAN Snider is pleased with
the prospect of the Lyceum getting a
licking, because the captain is just at
that age when he doesn't know whether
to go in as a kid or as an old ram. II
the question of superiority can be set
tied without his mixing with 1t, the
captain will be pleased TO join the win
ming crew. and hurrah as loud as any Of
them. Besides. he is secretly little
displeased with the talk OF I'm Tor gov
ernOr. The gubernatOrial chair is one
OF the things the cOngre ssman has in
his eve. and he does not want the APP
pointment clerk to be looking in the
same direction. He is for Merriam at
present, but there is no knowing what
might happen if the Minneapolis plot
to do up his eXcellency should succeed.

Out at Lake Minnetonka during the
season two young ladies started a GYM
nasium which became very popular,
not particularly on account of the value
of the exercise, because rowing
and flirting gave the glIlS plenty OF
that. but because the uniforms of the
igym'' proved delightfully."- cool and
comfortable. At first the girls were
timid about appearing in their athletic
rigs. which consisted principally OF a
Jersey and a pair of knee trousers.
Gradually, however, they became more
accustomed to them, and would dress
for their exercise at the boarding house,
throw wrapper over their trousers. and

the prettiest of the set, plump young
lady whose form was Venus-like, started
