grounds took out the first license under
the new ordinance. 1t had to be
classed a. a theatrical performance.
there being no other classification that
it could come under better, and paid
81. and there was considerable protest
ing about paying that small sum.
A large crowd gathered on the
grounds and saw horse race OF three
heats. and motorcycle race with
three entries. The motor cycles spread
out from the start and kept getting
further apart, so it was rot exciting.
The automobile gave an exhibition run,
making Il mile in Il remarkably short

The crowd came more to see the
aeropanc and balloon ascensions and
was disappointed in both. Efforts to
start the airship resulted in broken
wires each time, and the balloon did
not 90 up because il was too windy.
Some OF the spectators waited until
G:30 D. m. but were disappointed.

the other day left their two dogs at
their home on Minnesota street. The
poor animals suffered from hunger and
kept the neighbors awake nights with
their bowling, until they notified the
police station. Poundmaster Thompson
yesterday made an investigation, and
found that neither dog was licensed,
so he took them. A neighbor offered
to keep one, and so he took the other
to the city hall and fed it. 1t is a
Scotch terrier dog and would make a
good pct.
If there was humane society in
Mankato. the family who left their
dogs to starve would probably have to
answer for it.
