Entries for the state fair trotttng and
pacing races closed on Saturday, July L
The list secured is the best, both In
number and quality of the horses named
ever secured by the society. Last year
1859 horses were named, making the BAN
ner list up to that time. This year
the total Is 212, an increase of 4S over
the largest list in the previous history
of the fair The racing will begin
on Tuesday and will be intensely inter
esting from the time the 2:28 class trotters
are called until the 2:22 class PAGERS have
gone to the barn after the last heat in
the closing event. The sport of kings
was never more worthy of regal atten-
ton than will be the case at this years
state fair
The list is not only large, but repre-.
sentative. In the 2:N trotting class, for
instance, the best horses from twelve
different states will be found listed. The
2:1S class is equally interesting and nu-
merous others are nearly as good,
There are fourteen horses in the 2:10
trotting class of such high character
as to make a phenomenal race certain.
If the weather is at all favorable, state
fair visitors this year will see a number
of race records broken
The business men of the Twin Cities
who have so generously guaranteed the
two 5000 purses deserve credit for
large share of the good results secured
By placing such large amounts at stake
-ver1table fortunes for many people-men
from long distances are induced to make
supreme effort to win them. After
deciding to enter the lists for these big
purses, these men, enter other horses If
they have them in other classes and
many entries are thus secured which
otherwise could not be obtained at all.
These business men, therefore, have not
only contributed two events of the first
magnitue, but have given an added
strength and character to the whole pro-
gramme.
A. w. McElroy, of Chicago, a man of
national reputation in racing circles, will
be the starting judge He will have a
competent and experienced corps of as
sistants and the whole programme will
be carried out with vim worthy the
participants and the occasion.
