Already a large number of horses,
chiefly from the West, that are to par
ticipate in the races of the Twin City
Jockey club are stabbed at Hamline, and
on the eve of the inaugural summer
meeting, just one week hence, there
Will be fully 500 bangtails on the track,
and thrice that number of representa-
tive horsemen from outside points IN
this city, all working to make the meet
ing what it certainly will be-a success.
No meeting this season has attracted
the attention of horsemen so generally
as the experimental event at Hamllne;
and certainly no jockey club in this
country has gone to greater lengths in
the way of announcements and expense
to bring together the best of the bang
the first race the Twin City
Jockey club will have expended
upwards of $4,000 on the meeting.
Advertising alone has eaten up $4,000,
the purses offered aggregate as much
more, while the added money totals
$4,000, to say nothing of incidentals,
which cut very large figure. While
other associations have struggled along
with one or two Derby winners as star
attractions. the list of entries for the
Hamline meeting includes all the Derby
winnerS-Sprokane, winner of the Ken
lucky and American Derby; Longfsh,
winner of the st. Louis Derby; HindOo-
craft, winner of 1.-THE LatOnia Derby;
and LIE Premier, winner OF the Kansas
City Derby. Among the silks and sat-
ms of the turf which will be repre-
scented are the all scarlet of Morris, the
red, white and blue tricolor Of Cas-
Satt, the black and gold of the Chicago
stable, the orange and red Of Appleby,
the cherry and black of Pierre Loril-
lard. and others equally prominent. OF
the horses that will be here the four
Derby winners are tie greatest attrac-
ton, especially Spokane, who in the
Twin City Derby will carry more than
his weight in Northwestern gold. Null
keys LIE Premier will be heavily backed
by the Kansas City contingent. Hindoo-
craft, the speedy son OF the Ireland
Bros stable, will not be allowed to go
begging by his Kentucky admirers,
while the others will find supporters
enough to make the race interesting.
Sallie Hagan, the chestnut filly VINO
astonished the plungers within the past
month by winning several important
races in hollow style, is a Derby entry,
as are Castaway ii. of the BeVerwyck
stables, Princess Bowling. Sportsman,
Longside and Outbound. The race for
the Ladies' stakes, to occur Oh the sec
Ond day of the meeting, closed with
siXty-nine entries, including some of the
best bred and most promising tWO-year-
Odds that ever looked through a bride.
Second in Importance only 10 the Derby
is the Twin City Oaks, which
closed with thirty-eight entries, among
them SalIie Hagan, Zulu, Brown
Princess, Havillah, Lady Hemphill,
Bowling, Nyleptha and Blessing There
are seventy-three entries in the Twin
City Exposition stakes, to be run Oh the
fifth day of the neutrality-suspicious.
Champagne Charley, Once Again, Los
Angeles, Macbeth l.. and Santaiene,
Clay Stockton, Terra Gotta and dozens
of other famous and speedy horses. The
Carnival stakes with fOrty-nine entries
and the Twin City Merchants handicap
will be run on the penultimate and last
days Of the meeting, respectively, so
that the close and opening of the in
augural meeting will be equally attract
i've. The expectation is that the aver
age daily attendance will approximate
10000, which is low estimate consid-
ering the fact that the two most pro-

determination to make the meeting
the most interesting and successful
held in the West this season. An army
of men are now engaged in putting the
track and its appurtenances in condi-
ton for the gala event. Within two
days half of the stables will be occu-
pied by horses now filling engagements
at Chicago and the meetings at Brighton
and Monmouth, and by next Sunday the
bulk of the horses and their owners
will have arrived. Meanwhile the work
of booming the meeting is being pushed
as only Twin City huStlerS know how,
and nothing except general upheaval
of the universe will prevent the Twin
