The Twin City Jockey club has ar
ranged all the details for the Minnesota
breeders stake race, which will be one
of the extras for the July meeting at
Hamllne. So many favorable responses
have been received from Minnesota
horsemen that it has been decided to
hang up purse of $500 for Minnesota
bred horses of all ages to compete for.
The conditions of the race will not be
eXacting in any sense. Any Minneso-
tan who owns horse, bred in this state,
that can run little bit, Will be afforded
a chance to capture the rich purse and
the honors that go with it. The en-
trance fee will be nominal, $40 to start,
and present indications are that
there will be so many nominations
that the race will have to be divided.
Minnesota breeders know good thing
when they see it. and the opportunity
to be afforded them by the Twin City
Jockey club is one that they will not al
low to slip by them. h. K. Baker, the
noted horseman, owner OF Nevada and
a lot of good ones. was in the city last
week, and in speaking Of the outlook
for the Jockey club meeting, said there
would be upwards OF 1000 horses at
Hamline next July. II have string

Mr.. Baker, land as many more prom
Using youngsters in Montana. All these

for the big purses hung up by
the Jockey club, and l hope to

George Wilkes, dam Jewel. for the Twin
City Derby of 1891, and you may depend
upon 1t that this colt, which is called
Sentry, will finish first in that
event. There is considerable difference
OF opinion as to the probable winner of
the Twin City Derby this year. The
Chicago stables RobeSpierre is looked
upon with favor by large number of
shrewd turtmen, while w q Morris, OF
j. K. Megibben & Co.'s string, has
quite as many friends. Lucky Bald
win has nominated half dozen colts
by Grinstead and Prince Charley, and OF
these Honduras and Santiago are
considered to be the most promising.
Noah Armstrong; Seattle and POlemuS
are in it, and William Mulkey, who won
the inaugural Derby with LIE Premier.
has nominated black colt, Verge D'Or,
great luck with LIE Premier last year.
On the Saturday preceding the Twin
City Derby the colt was practically out
of it. He had quarter crack OF the
worst kind, and the slightest exercise
would cause the foot to bleed and the
horse to pull up lame. Mulkey was in
despair. Finally friend told him that
famous Australian farrier, named
Kent, was in St. Paul and could make LIE
Premier fit for the race if there was any
hope for him at all. Kent, who was
brought up among race horses, was
summoned, and after taking the racing
plates off of LIE Premier put on copper
plate covering the crack, which was
treated with soothing ointment. On
Derby day, couple of hours before the
race, Kent pulled off the copper plate,
fitted LIE Premier with a set of racing
plates and he was sent to the post fit to
race for mans life. Reports that he
was sick had reached the bookmakers
and they favored Sallie Hagan, laying
fairly long odds against LIE Premier. al
though he had the prestige of having
won the Kansas City Derby. MUlkey
made couple of circuits of the betting
ring and stood to win nearly $4,000. The
race was soon over and LIE Premier
landed the pot for his owner without
difficulty. Mulkey pocketed the purse
as well as the cash he had won from the
bookmakers. But he did not forget
Kent. He gave the latter the regular
price for shoeing running horse, and
the plates worn by LIE Premier in the
race. Kent has the plates now and will
present them to the jockey club.
