ADOPT THREE-HEAT PLAN
MINNESOTA STATE FAIR TO USE
POPULAR METHODS.
Association to Spend Fifteen Thous-
and Dollars in Regarding the
Race Track.

sc. NJ. Griggs, of st. Paul, vice
president and superintendent of speed
of the Minnesota State Fair asso-
citation, was in Chicago last week,
and in an interesting chat with this
wide-awake official l learn that the
Minnesota fair racers, always in the
vanguard of popular methods, will take
another step forward in 1908. The
leading meeting of the Great Western
Circuit which the Minnesota meeting
is, will adopt the system l have ia
vored-that is, "three heats, every heat
trot, purse $1,000 and the 2:l3 pace,
pure $5,OOO-will be conducted Oh the
same basis as heretofore, but the bal
ance of their $4,000 program will be
of the short, snappy style of rae
ing that is bound to become popular
if generally adopted. Nor is this all.
Mr.. Griggs says that the old system
of assessing the money winners five
percent of the purse will be, discard
ed. A straight five per cent will be
charged to enter, and then each horse
will get just what he wins without dis.
count of drawback. The money will
be divided with view to giving as
many as possible piece of it, and
the winner good, big end For in
stance, in 1000 purse, ten per cent
($lOOy will be set aside for the horse
standing best in the summary at the
end of the heats, and the remainder
5000, will be divided, $500 for each
heat, and awarded, Do, 25, 10, 10 and
% per cent, to the five leading horses,
thus giving the fifth horse chance
to save his entrance while the winner
of three heats would get $5O5 insteal
of $3.50, as he would under the old
system. The five moneys each heat
gives each horse fifteen chances in the
aggregate of the three heats to win
a piece of money. If horse comes
even fifth three times, he practically
wins his entry fee back, and if he
comes third in just on heat, he has
his money back. Instead of saving
his entry fee as heretofore, the winner
of fourth money wins good big bit
of money. A horse gets just what he
earns by this system. If he wins a
piece of money the first or second
heat, he does not lose it, by being dis
tanced or disabled later. ..
''There is no question but what UNI
less the other members of the circuit
follow suit, the Minnesota meeting will
be the star meeting of the Great
Western Circuit. Mr.. Griggs advises
me that they are now spending $4,000
on the regarding of the mile track,
which, by July l, will be practically
dead-level regulation track, by the use
of over $4,000 yards of new loan
and clay and hence should be one
of the fastest tracks in America. The
stables, paddocks and other acces-
series are the best to be found in
any country. DR.. F. E. Stone, of
Burlington, Wis, and Magnus, Flaws,
of Chicago, have been secured as
starter and presiding judge, respective
ly, so that the stand, it will be seen
will be in most competent hands,

Almost Solid for Taft,

Minneapolis, April S.-This city, an
alleged La Toilette stronghold. went
almost solid for Taft, and additional
reports from other parts of the state
only strengthen the prediction that
the state will be solid for Taft. In
Minneapolis not over 80 of the 51I
delegates in the county convention
will be for La Toilette. From present
appearances Wilkin county will be the
only county in the state that will not
send Taft men to the state and district
conventions.

Robbers last night blew UP the safe
at the State Bank of Dundee, a small
town six miles west of Heron Lake
in Mobiles county, secured $1,000 and
made their escape on hand car. The
charge of dynamite or nito glycerine
used in opening the safe was so large
that the entire front of the building
was blown to pieces. After securing
their booty the robbers secured a
hand car near by and came to Heron
Lake, where it is supposed they board
ed either passenger or freight train.
The hand car was ditchcd near Heron
Lake, and when discovered this
morning several piles of checks which
had been burned and some small
change were found near by.
Two men who came to Heron Lake
on q freight train during the night
were locked up and are held as
suspects, although there is no proba-
bility that either of them know of
the robbery.
The State Bank of Dundee was or
ganized in 1898 and has a capital of
$4,000. B. N. Bodleson is president
of the bank and f. d. Lindquist is
cashier.
Before the robbery the safe blowers
took the precaution to cut all the
telephone and telegraph wires SO they
could not be traced.
