THEY ARE HIGH DIVERS.
Powder Face" and Cupid" Two
Ponies Of Wonderful Powers, With
Other Attractions. They Will
Draw Thousands to Min
nehaha Driving Park for
Two Weeks.

Read what the Minneapolis Tribune
says of Gus Rydberg, the champion
high diver of the world, and the only
diving horses on earth. The following
great attractions will be at the Cresco
fair this year:
"Dr. w. f. Carver and his wonderful
company will appear Wednesday after
noon at the Minnehaha Driving Park
in a program which cannot fail to in
terest and entertain the large number
of people who are sure to be there. The
most wonderful feature of the entire
entertainment will be the high dive of
the two horses, Powder Face" and
Cupid Both of these horses have
been trained by the doctor to ascend an
inclined plane rising to a height of forty
feet, and then to dive into water of a
sufficient depth to prevent injury. So
proficient have both horses become that
it is with thrill of exultatiOn, they
may be seen successfully standing on
the high scaffOlding, without bride or
harness of any kind, and then of their
own accord spring into the air, and
with a downward rush, cleave the
water below. Cupid" who performs
the same trick as his mate, adds to it a
number of grotesqueries which have
earned for him the appropriate title of
"clOwn." He is overwhelmingly funny
and calls out roars of laughter.
The entertainment afforded by DR..
Carver closes with an exhibition of his
prowess as marksman, and will in
clude many of his famous rifle shots,
for which he has been SO justly cele-
brated. The troupe will be at the
Driving Park and give exhibitions
every afternoon for two weeks.
Exhibitions both afternoon and even
ing at Cresco fair.

New York, June 3.-The break of

very weak opening here, the first call
showing a decline of sac points; a
further decline of 4(66 points followed.
Liquidation was active through the
session. The market was weak and
unsettled. The favorable character
of the government crop report for the
past week, and the generally bearish
quality of private adVices regarding
the crop, contributed to weakness.
Shorts were the best buyers. Rains
in portions of Texas where mois ure
was needed also added to the DISPOSE
ton to sell. Still later there was some
buying on the reaction theory. IL the
afternoon the market ruled irregular
with a weak undertone under renewed

HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER

HUBBARD BROS COTTON LETTER
New York, june 3.-(Special) I'm
der pressure of selling from Southern
ket broke badly this morning, closing
weak at the lowest prices. The temper
of the market is decidedly bearish, ON
the good crop accounts, and as the
South has been short of contracts, the
decline shows there is handsome
profit on their engagements. August
has declined more rapidly than the dis
.tant positions, but the premium is well
aliaintai and there is no increase in
the amount of cotton pointing towards
New York in settlement of these sales.
1t is apparent that the short interest
in that position has been increased
AT fhe moment the entire country
seems to be glnder the influence of a
selling fever, which must apparently
run its course before the market will
recover. The bayers are the shorts and
the exporters, who are buying on an
extensise scale.
Showers have fallen in portions of
Texas, but not in the southwest. from
(which the recent complaints have been
received. During the afternoon the
market was sold off by produce ex-
change operators to the lowest prices
of the day, and closed barely steady.
The feeling in the trade lis bearish,
but after a decline of from 40 to so
points, a reaction is not unlikely.
