GOOD RACING IN SIGHT
PROGRAMMES AT HAMLINE AND
MINNEHAHA FULL OF RICH
PURSES
MANY HoRsEMEN COMING
Inducements offered That Will
Bring the Best the Country At
fOrds to the North
west.

Although the Northwest was favored
with the heaviest snowfall of the winter
during the past week, st. Paul sleigh
riders took but little sport from it, and
today the bare brown earth is in evidence
on speedway, streets and boulevard.
The topic now with lovers of the har-
ness horse is track work, and if the
weather will permit April will find
many prominent horses and trainers
quartered at the Hamline and Minnehaha
course Minnehaha will have many i'm
provements this spring, as force of
workmen will be put to work there at
an early date
Conspicuous in the rich programme for
the state fair are the two $1,000 stakes
guaranteed by the citizens of the Twin
Cities. Minneapolis day is placed well
to the front of the programme, and Tues
day, Sept 8, is the chosen date. In ad-
dition to the 2:21 stake, which is the Min
neapolis guaranteed $1,000 event, the 2:l1
PAGERS and a couple of running events
will complete making a most attractive
card for the day.
Friday is to be ST. Paul day, and the
2:13 PAGERS will provide the harness racing
for the day, two running races to be add
ed, and a grand live stock display to be
given upon the mile track.
The announcement that the Minnehaha
course is to be opened up and a summer
meeting held there in July has caused a
number of prominent owners and trainers
to make their headquarters there for the
season. Prominent among outside horse
men to contract for stall room are D. 3.

boxer to whip Joe Walcott. The only
men who have succeeded in making
O'Rourke's brunette bread winner cry
enough were Kid Lavigne, Mysterious
Billy Smith and Tommy West. None OF
the trio in question were neat boxers.
But they were just about the same size
as Walcott and fought on much the
same style as that adopted by the dark
skinned pugilist.
Walcott could never stand body pun
ishment. When opposed to tall men he
was right in his element. Owing to his
peculiar physical construction, turtle
shaped body and no neck to speak of,
it was remarkably hard mater to reach
his jaw. Choynski and others OF his
kind bothered Joe's hard head in vain
and being made receiver gen@als for
vicious body smashes went down and out
before the colored dwarf.
Against the smaller members of the
fistic brotherhood Walcott did not show
to such good advantage. Strange though
it may seem, it is safe to say that Joseph
is a good man to bet on against a mid
die or heavyweight boxer, but a mighty
uncertain quantity when it comes to a
question of placing him in ring with
a short, stocky fighter anywhere near
his own weight. L. M. Houseman.
