State Fair Races.

The Minnesota state fair has broken
so many records in recent years thai
the information that the race entry
list for the coming fair of 1904 has
again established<a a new limit will be
no surprize But it is a surprizing fact
that the gain this year over 1908 IS
much larger than that of 1908 over
1902.
Entries closed July 1 and Secretary
E. w. Randall completed his complla-
ations and was able to announce no
less than 3SS entries for the fair races.
This is II more than last year and
1OS more than in 1902.
The total 3ss entries is quite beyond
all precedent in racing history. When
the Minnesota fair races secured
$50 entries in 1902, horsemen through
out the country were astonished be-
yond measure and said that the list
would never again be duplicated. Last
year they could not believe the totals at
first; this year they are likely to un-
derstand that the Minnesota fair is
about the biggest thing of it's kind on
