The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-07
GOOD MEET ASSURED
STATE FAIR PROGRAMME BEST
THAT HAS BEEN Of
FERED YET
CHANGES IN THE CONDITIONS
Horses May Be Entered as Late
as August Is on Payment
OF Per Cent of the
Purse.

The executive committee of the state
| fair board has completed the race pro-
| gramme for the fair of 1902, and is Of
| the belief that it is the best programme
! yet arranged for a state fair meet AS
| laid out there will be eleven trotting and
| pacing races during fair week in addition
| to the running races which will take place
| each day. None of the trotting and pac-
ing races will be for purses of less
| than $1,000, and for Minneapolis and ST.
| Paul days the popular 5000 races, which
| have been such an interesting feature or
| the last three or four fairs, will be put on
again this year
AS to conditions. the Minnesota fair man
| agement has made several innovations
this year. which will be particularly
| popular with horsemen. For instance, an
| entered horse may be withdrawn as late
as August Is on payment of per cent OF
the purse. 1t is also provided that one
horse may be entered in two classes ana
be held for but one entry if started III
| only one class. Another provision is that
two horses may be entered in one class
while if only one should start the owner
will be held only for one entry. 1t will
readily be seen that these rules will give
horsemen many advantages which they
have not heretofore enjoyed, and it is be-
lieved that the liberal provisions will lead
to a very large entry of horses for the
state fair meet.
