RACES ar HAMLINE.

The Fourth Meeting of the Twin City
Jockey Club.
On Wednesday next, June 9th, the
Hamline course will be crowded with the
beauty and fashion of the twin cities.
The occasion will be the initial races Of
the fourth meeting Of the Twin City
Jockey Club and as usual the Derby will
be the chief event upon the opening day.
The list OF entries for the Derby include
10 horses guaranteeing q larger list of
starters than any previous event whilst
the character of the thoroughbreds en-
tered is far above the average. OF
the entries much might be said but
space forbids any extern ed remarks,
enough it is to state that they include
such runners as Prince Carl OF the Ken
dali stable; Rey Ell Santa Anita Of the
Santa Anita stable: Tilsit and lakewood,
the property of J. Il. Gushing Of Mime
apolis, and Jim Lee Of the Red Ribbon
stable, besides many other crack horses.
The Derby is sweepstakes for three
year. olds and the purse this year is
$2,50O. This race is always a society
event and from the preparations now go
ing on it is probable that the Derby Of
1894 will eclipse all previous years both
in attendance and fashion. One OF this
chief attractions on Derby Day is the dis
play of equipages, and the rivalry exist
ing between the owners OF swell turnouts
always brings out the very latest thing
in wheeled vehicles. This year the feel
ing runs unusually high and it is under
stood that there will be some exceedingly
new and smart turnouts. Dame rumor
has it that one Of Minneapolis young
bloods has sent to Chicago for one OF the
Worlds Fair tally no coaches and that
q choice circle of his friends will view
the Derby from the top of this coach.
As will be remembered these coaches
were driven with six horses and carried
forty passengers exclusive Of driver, out
riders and attendants. Following tbs
usual custom the ladies have evidently
determined to blossom out in all the
glory of new gowns and hats if the tailors
and miliinels' stories are to sbs credited.
It was freely stated that times were too
hard to make meeting successful this
year; but from the advance sale Of boxes
and the enthusiasm OF the people .'who
GOETHE pessimists are wrong for once Id
their life, and the free distribution OF
money which the races will occasion
ought to do much towards stirring up
the stagnation existing in the money
market. Residents Of Minneapolis and
st. Paul are to be congratulated upon
being able to. attend the sport OF kings
upon the national Holiday, July 18th, and
the management have prepared an excel
lent program upon that date. The prin-
cipal event will be the Independence
Handicap where the lovers of a good race
will be able to see such horses as 70
Tambien, Guido, Wightman, Kimberly,
Sir Walter Raleigh, Ethel Gray and
Chiswell compete for the $1,000 purse
hung out by the club. In addition to
the regular races the management has
arranged for special race upon the 18th,
called the South st. Paul Derby, the
purse hung up in this race to be COM
|peted for by cowboys from the South St.
Paul Stock Yards mounted upon their
own wiry bronchos. st. Paul is making
Derby Day banner day in her history
and following the usual custom will close
Falltpublic offices ct noon Of the 9th: Of
June. Minneapolis will probably do the
same. 5
o, no for fashion and beauty
The Derby I'm sure is the place. y.
FOR women and horses plenty
Will surely be out to the race.
