"Osferberq's" Club

Two MIlneapOllb COupleS III u
statement to this paper this week
claimed a downtown Minneapolis
night club attempted to overcharge
them for drinks Saturday night,
May 9, to discourage their patron
age.
Royal Crawford, 4433 Fifth Av.
S., member Of a pioneer Mime
sofa family told this newspaper
May 7, that he and his wife, Leola,
his brother and sister in law, Mr..
and Mrs. Marvin Crawford, 3708
Third Av. S., were charged 81
for drinks for which white persons
in the Jockey Club, 507 Hennepin
Av., formerly Osterberg's Supper
Club, were charged 45 cents.
The Crawfords also charged they
were refused admission to the
main dining room on the grounds
that it was filled.
Mr.. Crawford said they were
told they would have to wait but
as they sat in a booth in the bar
area they saw white persons be-
ing seated continually.
Crawford claimed he could see
that the main dining room was
only partially filled at the time
of his partys' attempted entrance.
Deciding to wait for admission
to the main area the couples sat
in the booth and ordered four high
balls. The waitress brought the
drinks and a check for 81 Isl per
drink. Crawford said he demur-
red at the price and the waitress
told him Drinks are 81 minimum
for colored people"
Prices listed on the wall he said
were 35 cents for bourbon and As
cents for scotch.
Crawford said he went to the
manager of the club who also told
him "Our drinks are 81 to you
people" The manager also told
him, Mr.. Crawford that If he didn't
want to pay the amount asked he
and his party could leave, Craw-
ford said.
The party of four left the prem
ises. Monday they sought legal
advice on the incident to ascertain
if the overcharging they claimed,
was a violation of the Minnesota
public Accommodations law.
Ben Rackner, owner of Richards s
Treat Restaurant on Hennepin
Av. also new owner of Osterberg's s
or the Jockey Club as it is now
known said he was on duty at the
club at the time the incident was
supposed to have occurred, but said
he had not been approached by
Crawford with a complaint.
Monday he promised to check
with his son, David who is said to
be the club manager and the wait
ress staff. Wednesday morning he
said he could not find anyone in
the club who knew anything about
the incident.
He claimed after 9 pm. when
the orchestra begins to play every
one is charged 81 for drinks.
RaclSner may be remembered by
many members of the Negro COM
munity as the owner of Rackner's
Market on the old Sixth Av. N
Monday he admitted he got his
start in business through the large
patronage of Negroes in the ole
Sixth Av. N. district.

"More people attend our Fair on
a "slow" day now than attended
during the entire week in 1887"
Mr.. Ballentine said. "Whereas the
annual revenue that first year was
only $6S,S67.O1 and we paid out
but $12,64492 in premium money,
last year the annual revenue was
a record 1896, 529.S1 and we paid
out $50, 003,53 in premium money"
Mr.. Ballentine pointed out.
Opening ceremonies will be held
at noon on Monday, October 16,
in the State Fair Arena. The fea-
ture event for Monday evening
will be a special show in front of
the Grandstand at which repre-
sentatives of press, radio and tele-
vision will be specially = invited
guests.
There will be no arena perform
ance on opening night.

ed; and the number of free days

cd. Tuesday has again been desig-
mated as "Wake County Day."
