City Jockey club, which horsemen, and
especially those of the Northwest, have
had in view for many months. The
Twin City is the youngest OF the sister
hood of jockey clubs which have been
formed in the West within the past two
decades, and that it will be one of the
most successful is the cOncenSus Of
opinion among those who have been
its projectors and who have de-
voted to preparations for the initial
meeting much valuable time and what
is more substantial, nearly 100000 in
hard cash. Racing has never had chance
to become popular in the Northwest,
where for years trOtting has had
monopoly, but the same was nearly the
case with Chicago. The tremendous
popularity the sport has attained there
in the few years the Washington Park
has had it in hand shows what can be
done with proper effort, backed with
the popularity to draw upon and ener-
getic men with money behind the en-
terprise. The new Twin City club has
every advantage in respect to popula-
ton, which is 100000. The found
ers of the cities Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis could scarcely have
imagined that their growth would be
grand municipality willmake what New
York is to the Atlantic coast, and Chi
cago is TO the Midland states. With the
enormous population and wealth it has
to draw upon from the Twin Cities,
the new Jockey club will be able to
found in the meeting which begins to-
morrow, a racing center, which with
the assistance of Chicago, will establish
racing in the Northwest upon a very
substantial basis. The meeting is well
