AT MINNEHAHA TRACK.
Pre- oarations About the Great
Races Which Will Occur
Next Week.
Some of the Crack Horses Which
Are Expected to Start
in Races.

the hot atmosphere yesterday afternoon
in the vicinity of Minnehaha Driving
park fioated the sounds of hammering
nd saving. AS the electric cars swept
around the curve in the immediate VI
cinity Of the grounds there could be
seen gayly blanketed horses being led
by trainers and stable boys, and here
and there sulky OF rOadcart darted
past.
From the number of horses to be seen
and the striking evidence of ''blood"
among them, the park looked more like
a fine blooded horse show than the ac-
emulation Of number of strings or
horses for participation In the racing
which will commence Monday.
The buildings at the park have all
been changed for the accommodation of
the immense number OF people who will
be gathered during the four days rae
ing within the enclosure. There has
been new club house constructed for
the accommodation of the members OF
he club, and the grand stand, which Will
'be free to the people, has been remote
eled and enlarged SO that II will accom-
modate about 5000 people. Then there
are the bleaching boards and smaller
stands. making it possible for every per-
son who attends the races to have an
opportunity OF witnessing the races
while situated in comfortable positions.
The new club house is a charming
little structure painted in red and black.
1t is built on the order OF the club house
at Sheepshead Bay. and will be pro-
vided with all necessary conve niences.
On the first floor will be the reception
room for ladies and gentlemen. On the
right hand side will be the reception
room for the ladies, containing all mod
ern convenlences. On the left hand
side will be the reception room and
buffet for the accommodation or the
gentlemen members of the club. Sur
rounding the club house there will be
nicely turfed plot OF ground, which Will
be fenced in from the intrusion or out
siders. and in the rear OF the club house
conveniences are being prepared for the
tying of and caring for horses OF the
club members and others. Men Will be
on the grounds for the purpose OF at
tending to the horses, and the owners
will not be disturbed while watching
the races for fear of any accident hap
perng. The top floor will be supplied
with regular seats for the watching OF
the races.
The reporters stand is located in the
front of the grand stand right on the
wire. There will be two rows OF tables
for the convenience OF the men who
will report the races, and the only
entrance to this stand will be a private
one. The judges stand has been newly
decorated and will present handsome
sight to the people sitting in the grand
stand.
Never before in the history of racing
in the Northwest have there been so
many good horses in attendance. Never
has there been even One-fourth the
number of entries, to say nothing of The
number Of horses which will be exer-
cised and put through their PAGES on
the track. All of the celebrated stables
which have ever been seen at such
gatherings in Minnesota will be lar
eclipsed at the present meeting.
81 do not care to boast" remarked Il.
F. Jones Yesterday to reporter for the
GLOBE. ..Dut there has never been seen
anything like il In the entire Northwest
We will have stables from all parts of
the country, and all the celebrated
horses in Minneapolis and st. PAU, to-
gether with some from as far 1away as
Texas, will be at the meeting. and the
entries will be more numerous than
ever before at any race track in Mime
sofa or in the entire Northwest. We
expect that there will be i'm
mense crowds present, and we
have made all arrangements for TAX
ing care of them. One thing which
will be insisted on is that Objectionable
characters will not be permitted to
make themselves conspicuous on the
grounds. and in this way annoy the Ia
dies and gentlemen VINO will be In at
tendance at the races. Those who at
tend the racing meeting will be treated
in the same manner as though they
were attending social affair at the
home of a friend, and they will find the
convenienceS and actions OF those pres
ent the same"
