e. - - One of them is
that beral
management and good treatment ac-
corded horsemen at past meetings
under the clubs auspices have resulted
in desire on their part to return, and
another is, that having confidence in
the ability of the management to get the
people here from the East, West, North
and South. the business men have be-
come enthused, and are making every
possible effort to aid the management
in making the races a success. ST. Paul
people haven't been as enthusiastic over
anything for years as they now are
over the advent of the blanketed
bangtails, whose performances later on
will thrill thousands of spectators.
Everyone is going to decorate. Third
street will f1aunt a million flags. and
Wabasha will strive to Guido the latter
in number and variety of color. In
fact there will be a general decoration
of business houses all over the city.
The list of horses entered for the yari-
Gus events OF the meeting Indicate that
the cracks of the country will be there.
A good many horses have arrived
already and are now in quarters at
Hamline. For the great event. the
Twin City Derby, there are Fifty
one entries, and among them some
of the cracks of the season. 1t is
going to be race for your life, with
big field of starters. KyIo, the Cali

and the occupancy is involuntary. Kyle
belongs 10 Harrison, of Sacramento, and
he won the Tacoma Derby in 90
with stable boy up. His destination
was Washington park, but in being
transferred here he fell between two
cars OH the track. and got pretty badly
stove up-tOo badly to continue the
journey, so that IS how he came to be
at Hamine. He will probably pull
himself together in time to walk off
with a few sweepstakes. Yesterday
morning among the gallOperS out for
exercise was Baldwin, whose Eastern
performances this season have made
him famous; who never faced a starter
until three months ago. and
who has already won out S10,-
as in handicaps and sweepstakes.
Other horses Of the CulbertSOn string to
arrive this week are Lena A and
Plunger. j. S. 0'Brien, OF Saltwater,
who the 0tner day bought the fleet bay
colt Eli Kendig of ScOggan Bros, has
also purchased DoIlikins. one of last
seasons cracks. who may be expected
to pull off something good for his owner
during the meeting. The Saltwater
stable looms up with fine lot OF horses
this season. Among the others are
Oracle d and Longshot both of whom
won good races at the meeting here last
year. Foster Il Darling have string
of five

and waiting for the flag. They are
Rimini, Consomme. Polemus, SullroSs
and Onlight. Polemus is a likely look
ing animal and has run well wherever
started. 0nlight ran second for the
Oaks at st. Louis, and only missed the
finish by neck. 1t is worth the while
of any lover of hOrsef1esh to go out and
watch the exercising any morning from
now to the opening of the meeting. No
trial spins are being INDUCED III at pres
ent, but the flyers are all kept at work.
Browns Twin City stable arrived from
Kansas City on Friday. Ills horses are
King Richard. who won seven out Of
nine races at New Orleans; Gold Dust.
BippO, who looks like a skate, but may
be first for all that, Jayola and two
year-old FLY to start in one Of the
maiden races. Snyder'S string are
Iikely-lookIng lot. He has Red Sign
and CheyOlette, who went a mile in ~
at New Orleans with 140 pounds up.
Besides these there are three young
sters who will try conclusions with the
colts in the two-year-Old events. Letch-
er's horses will get here on the 18th.
They ale in Chicago now. Bradford, of
Elk River, has Fidget and Swanena at
work, and William Deacon has a good
fOur-year-old FLY, Pauline, of whom
Great Thfngs Are Expected.
The track is being dragged and got in
shape for the meeting, and a gang of
men will 90 to work fixing things up
generally tomorrow. A coat of white
wash on the fences and few touches
here and there will make world of
difference in the aspect of things. All
Fink has entered his four-year-Old bay
colt, Oklahoma Kid, for the st. Paul
stakes. The colt ran well as three
year-old, and pulled off couple of good
stakes at last years meeting. He is
said to be under the weather trifle,
but Fink sends word to friends
at the track that the Kid will be
fit to start for the stakes. LinlithgOw
Sir Abner, Brown Fox, Palfena, Dona-
tellO, Harry Ray. Gen. Caldwell, Chimes,
Rainier and Yale '9l, all starters in
events here last year, are entered for
the Derby. An interesting event, and
one for which there will be big field
