special classes provide Tor the local
horses, the Minnesota steeds will not be
brought into competition with the horses
from outside, except in the open events, Of
which there are a large number. It is
believed by godo judges, however, that the
local animals are the equals Of most of
those from abroad, and that the Minneapo-
lis equines will carry off number Of the
prizes in the open classes.

trophies are offered for both the races and
tacle Of these big machines dashing at
perilous speed around the track will be
one full Of interest and excitement
Many Of the machines entered are capable
of making forty miles an hour, and in
regard to speed at least, the automobile
races will be the most interesting on the
program.
