All is hustle and go on the grounds
of the Minneapolis Driving club, and
great preparations are being made for
the coming meeting. which promises to
eclipse all former events of a like nature
in this state. The number of horses
now in training ON the grounds indi-
stake events which closed on the 1st of
March show over 12O head of notable
horses listed for the six different
races. A rate of one and One-third fare
has been arranged for with the different
railroads centering here and the con-
yeniences and accommodations for car
ing for the attendance are being put in
perfect form. Minneapolis will un-
doubtedly again take front place
among the cities of note with the har-
ness horse, and it should add to the
growing interest of the breeders Of that
valued steed in this state.

"Trainers and visitors alike at the
track during the first of the week noted
the absence of Mr.. Shuler, and many
regrets were expressed at the report
that he was seriously ill with rheuma-
tism," says r. F. Jones in the Horse
man anent the Minneapolis track.
Thursday Shuler was out again, al
though hardly able to travel, and Friday
afternoon found him in the sulky be-
hind some of his noted steeds. Green
leaf and Mark Sirius were given three
easy miles, and the last one was most
nj
before the pair came out for the
last heat and number of gentlemen,
waited long past the chance for their
ready dinner to see the pair finish their
work, and they went away feeling well
paid even at the loss. Shuler said: II
want to go mile close to 800" Both
horses were working good, and they
went away smoothly after the third
score. Mark Sirius slightly in
the lead, tut Greenleaf showed
bit to the front at the first
uarter. and then it was an ever
thing the balance of the mile, both fin
ishing easy and coming in as if they
could go good bit better. The mile
was made in 2:2O by nearly all of the
timers, and there were several of them
there who can time quite as we'll as the
best. The last quarter was made close
to 80 seconds, and all agreed that the
exhibition was we'll worth a good din
ner."
The week has been merry one at
the Minneapolis Driving clubs grounds.
and at no time of day could the visitor
have missed seeing some speedy sport.
Lun Hawkins came down from Glen
wood Oh Thursday with the Sawyer
stock farm string of thirteen head, all
looking we'll. and, what is better, all
acting fine. Lena Willetts, 2:14. the
game and speedy pacing mare, never
was near as good in looks as she is in
at present. and she surely will go in
2:10 or better this season, if she will
son of Simmons, has taken on form and
is grand big colt that will make as
fast mark as Greenleaf, or some of the
other speedy Simmons record makers,
he showing quarter on Saturday in SO
seconds with ease. WInona, the feet
young mare by California, also in the
Sawyer string, worked along with Blan-
ton tapping him out, showing that she is
coming trotter.

All of the trainers had a little speed
to show, and as the track and day were
good, fast work was the rule. Colby
worked the game gray gelding Jerry L
a mile in 2::22. and from the way the
high headed son of Stonewall jackson
finished, one would believe that he
could easily beat his record. jerry did
not come to his speed early last season,
and Colby now believes that he will be
a much better horse this year.

Billy Mathews made some good ex-
mil no
the bay horse Eric King worked was
surprising as well as pleasing to the
many admirers of this handsome,
speedy horse. Green Stout, also in Mr..
Mathews stable, showed mile up in
2:20, which was very pleasing to the
owner, w. II. Ensign.
The LOOMS Brothers made some fine
exhibits with their horses, and Frank,
with the chestnut mare, Maggie Sher-
man, showed half in LOG, which is a
fast clip for any of them this early.
Fred Martin gave the attendance a fast
and well-rated mile with the Textbook
ing gelding Willett, who trotted in 2:25.
Spear, was not setting out for fast work,
but showed his new purchase, Billy w,
mile close to 1924, and worked a green
one in $3.50. Tartar Chief and Alta were
given easy work, aud the great horse
L
brush, showing that he is speedy son
OF the great sire Of Nancy Hanks, the
queen OF the turf.
IL
w. Ii. Jennings was out with his
string one after another and they are a
remarkably good lot. Kittie Il brushes
as fast as any horse at the track and
many look for her to get very low
record this season; Lilly Rysdyk shows
much improvement, and the balance of
Mr.. Jennings horses look and act we'll.

G. G. Mathews has six OF seven horses
in his string. and they will all be seen
at the races this season. Administer is
now looking like king, and the good |
horse Kellar Y keeps well up with him. |
The pretty fleet mare Belle w, also |
In Mr.. Mathews string, is in the best of |
form.

j. K. Wheat has not uncovered the |
limit of his horses speed yet, by any |
means. Silver K and Billie Gaines are |
as speedy as anybody's pair and they |
can 60 the route.

Charlie Smith has big lot of coming |
