inc Is in complete readiness

Everything is in complete readiness
at Lexington park for the second an
nual ST. Paul horse show. to be given
there on the 23d, oath, 25th and 18th
of June. and which is to be without
doubt the biggest exhibition of its kind
ever given in the West. An immense
amount Of time and labor has been
spent to put everything in first-class
condition for the big society event of
the season, and the management of the
affair is well satisfied that the result
of it's labors will be pleasing to the
public. The great white canvas edi-
flee under which the exhibition is to
be given, covers a space 500 feet long
by $50 in width. directly in front of
the grand stand, which has also been
put under canvas, and forms part of
the arena. A considerable amount Of
grading had to be done in order to
make the enclosed area perfectly level,
and the ring in which the exhibitors
will show their various entries has
been covered with tan bark, as this
material has been found by long eXpe-
rience to be the most suitable for this
style of exhibition, doing away entirely
with the dust nuisance.
The seats in the grand stand have
been put in excellent shape for the
occasion and a series of boxes have
be0n built in front of the grandstand,
next to the promenade, and arranged
in SUCH a manner that they do not in
eerfere with the view of those In the
Beats behind. The floors of these boxes
will be covered with new white canvas
previous to the opening on next Tues
day evening. as will also the prom
0nade, which extends around the arena
with the exception of the space left for
the entrance and exit of the exhibit
Ors. So that the handsome gowns
that will be worn by the beautiful
women Of st. Paul. Minneapolis and
surrounding cities will run no risk of
Soiling. The arena and the boxes will
be gaily decorated in the royal blue
end arctic white colorS of the assOcia-
ton, while thousands of incandescent
lights, in the same colors, will add to
the gala appearance of the scene. Re
