sPoRTsMEN AND SPORTS.

Secretary Simon. of the St. Paul
Driving club, is confident that the meet
ing of 1890 will be a success in every
sense of the word. An excellent lot of
horses will be entered for the various
events, and there is markedly more in
terest i'm trotting this season than was
the case last season.

Gov. Merriam is q great lover of
good horse and knows q good one when
he sees it. He is interested in the sue
cess of the meeting, as, in tact.are many
other gentlemen lovers of horse flesh
and square sport. Bruno Beaupre has
put his shoulder 10 the wheel, and the
combined strength of his and the other
heavyweight shoulders should certainly
be sufficient to make the thing go.

The owner of Tiperary is getting that
promising animal In trim for work and
there is every probability that the gray
will do some good work this summer.
Anyhow Mac has undated faith in his
ability to go in 300, and has money in
his kick to see the horse through any
engagements he may make.
Il
The starters for this years Derby
promise to be a celebrated lot. If the
number of entries is any criterion of the
size of the field at the post it will be
worth taking against any tavorite.
Mr.. Simon says he never saw as
many boOkmakers at a race meeting as
there were at Clifton. They were
thicker than hair Oh dogs back, and
on hand tor the Twin City meeting.

Capt. Brown, OF the Minnesota Boat
club, announces that the annual meet
ing of the club will occur next month,
when arrangements will be made for
the annual regatta. There is some talk
OF getting light-oared boats, 40 there is
plenty of good stuff in the club to man
couple such craft. An eight-oared
contest on the Mississippi at this point
would be novelty. and it is to be hoped
the scheme will go through.

The st. Paul Boat club proposes to
make good showing this year, accnrd-
ing to conversations held with individ-
uai members. The club is. well pro-
vided with boats OF all kinds, and will
have several good double crews IN the
fall regatlaS. There are several first
rate scullers in the ST. Paul club who
have never yet shown What they could
DO in race, and these will take hand
In The game this season.

Mike Cummings proposes to have the
most perfectly arranged and managed
dog kennels in this part of the country
as soon as the weather will allow of the
erection of the necessary buildings.
SpOrtSmen whose valuable dogs have
been hitherto at the mercy of irrespon-
sible and brutal keepers will hear of
the opening of the kennels with salts
faction, and it is safe to say that their
capacity will be taxed to the utmost.

Craps are all the go, according to
story going the rounds, which Indicates
that $1,000 game is none too heasy for
st, Paul heavy-weights to roll in.

Pat Killen got more news than any
man in town about the Dempsey fight
the other night. Phil Schweitzer was
telephoning him from one end of
the town that Jack had been
knocked out in the ninth. Big
Jim. talking from another point,
insisted that Mccarthy had killed
Dempsey with a right-handed swing in
the sixth. Pat got onto the gang alter
awhile and met all communications 10y
wire of the above description with char
acteriStic retnrt. The GLOBE wire at
last furnished the desired Information,
and Pat collected his bets and set them
up to the house.

There has been better wolf hunting
after the SIniey hounds this winter than
ever before in the history of the pack.
MIR. Gray, master of the hounds, who
was lii the city few days ago, SAID that
the weather had been particularly
favorable and coyotes more plentiful
than any year yet. Three excellent
runs were had last week, with kill for
each.
