EXPECT FAST GOING
!. At THE STATE FAIR
Gopher Entertainment to B,
Right Up to Grand Circuit
p r" Quality.

The closing of the entries for the
Minnesota state fair races one week
from tomorrow-July 2-is an event
among the horsemen this year. State
fair racing used to be regarded as
rather tame sport, but the development
of the meet at the Minnesota grounds
has brought the event up to the grade
of grand circuit racing.
1t will surprise many to learn that
the Minnesota state fair this year Of
fers almost as much in purses as the
great grand circuit meets at Cleveland
and .Buffalo-and were it not for a big
local purse at each of these places they
would be surpassed by the north star
state. Minnesota hangs up $4,000,
every cent Of which will be paid as
soon as the races are over. <., ~ r.
AS to classification and character of
entries, the Minnesota state fair is
equal to the best: In fact, this year
the local fair has put in a faster race
than any of the grand circuit meets
have announced-a 2:02 pace. This
means some fancy PAGERS and some
great work. The track is as fast as any
in the country. Rersey pronounced it
last year the fastest-and it has been
improved since then. ~
-. The. new feature Of the program this
year is the consolation races for non
winners in the races having many
starters. In full, the program is as be-
