The Crop Outlook in South Dakota for
1897.


1t requires but a small amount of rain
fall in South Dakota to mature the crop.
During 1896 South Dakota had, up TO Sep
tember 30th three and seven tenths inches
more of rainfall than for any of the pre-
vious sixteen years. Since September Both
there has been added at least three or four
inches to the excess, making gain OF near
ly eight inches more than the average.
Early in November there were heavy rains,
depositing over two inches, and since then
there have been heavy SHOWS, and about
foot of snow covered the ground on Novem-
Der 25th. Dakota farmers have abundance
of hay and great supplies of oats, barley
and corn. Wheat has advanced to about
seventy cents a bushel in the local market,
and prospects for further advance are good.
The ground will come out in the spring bet
ter soaked than ever before. The prospect
for better prices next year is good. There
are thousands of people in the East who
could do no better than to 90 to South Da-
kota now and buy their seed and feed for
next year, and move out in the spring.
First-class farming land in South Dakota,
along the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee q
st. Paul railway, can now be bought at
from $40 to SIS an acre. The creamery in
dustry and stock-raising in South Dakota
will greatly increase during 1877. For fur

The Athletic Field broadening.

The time has come when one of the
most important members of college
faculty in the eyes of the undergradu-
ates, and undoubtedly the most popular
in many colleges, is the professional
athletic trainer, who sees to it that the
baseball, football and rowing men give
good account of themselves when
brought in competition with other col
leges. Within the past week the engage
ment of such trainer by large college
conspicuous in athletics has been an
nounced, and it is stated that his salary
is to be IS, 900 year. There are many
members of the faculty of this college
who do not get so large a salary, though
their dignity is greater. Not few of
these professional trainers now are col
lege men, and the field for this kind of
work is broadening. A man who gave
himself up to this kind of work 20 years
ago would have been looked upon as lit
tie better than prizefghter, but it is
recognized branch now. Half dozen
college girls have gone into this kind of
work and have succeeded much better
than the girls who have devoted them
selves to teaching classics and mathe-
MATES. This is an era of athletics and
of physical development. and the effects
are good.

Where WIN They FiRht2

Now that Corbett and Sharkey and
their hackers and friends are beginning
to wonder where they can fight, if such
a thing is possible, it is strange that
some speculator does not come along
and solve the problem. A big and pay
ing party could be made up to see the
fight, and it would seem that at least
one of the islands in the West Indies
would be glad to take the fight for a
consideration. If the fight were held in
the winter time, part of the trip south
might be made by land to Palm Beach,

would be short. Such trip would be

.TRoTTERs AND PAGERS.
They Are In Fine Form For Record
Breaking.


Breaking.
Judging by the high rate of speed
that the trotters and PAGERS have reached
at this early stage of the summer cam
paign, none of the harness records is safe
this season. There seems to be no end
to the number of steppers that can beat
2:20, and the once impossible barrier of
S:10 has now become so trifling an OBJ
struction that the horses are going over
it in troops. They are not entitled to
all the credit for the improvement OF
recent years. mans ingenuity being
most important factor.
Though there were numerous sensa-
tions last season, the fourth year of the
bicycle sulky age did not give many top
notch performances. Among the trotters
the record for geldings was the only one
disturbed, Azote cutting the mark from
2:0724 to 2:04A. The PAGERS also had
to be content with some changes in the
minor championship, such as the one for
mares, which Angie d placed at 2:07.
There are now in training more likely
horses for record breaking than at any
other time i'll the history of light har-
ness sport. OF the trotters, Beuzetta is
entitled to first consideration, as she
was easily the best FLY of two seasons.
and i'll this the first year of her matu-
lity the new pride of Kentucky should
continue her career of triumph.
Her contemporary, Onoque, has a
strong following for the championship,
and with some reason, as she scored
2:0SM last season in the hands of a
trainer who does not rank with the
famous Pennsylvania reinsman, John
E. Turner, who now has her in charge
AS for the PAGERS, there is a solid
column of them that has been steadily
advancing ON times fortress, leaving
the trotters behind at every stride.
Robert J, the leader of this wing footed
band, is still in his prime, being years
old, and has reasonable chance of out
doing his own mighty effort of two sea-
sons back, when he got within y Sec
onds of even time. Ten other members
of the side wheeling brigade have scored
below 2:05, most of them still in train
ing.
John R. Gentry has made the most
brilliant commencement of these, and
his future success depends entirely on
his ability to remain in condition. His
defeat at Chicago shows that he is not
now in good form. At Red Oak he clip
ped fraction from the 2:03A earned
in 1894, and it is quite the fastest mile
ever known before July.

We had great struggle in the late

kinley to lead the government out OF
