THE RACES SUCCESSFUL. The Weather was Good, and the Attend ance Pair. Some of the finest Races Ever Seen on a Southern Minnesota Track. Some of the Best Horses of the State Uom peting for the Parses. Patsy 6, Ben Allie and Senator Wilkinson the Favorites The Association domes Out Ahead and will Give Another Meet in 1896. While the attendance should have been far larger considering the attractions of fered, it was fair when it is considered that this was the initial meeting. Had it not been for enthusiastic outsiders, however, the association would now be looking for the wherewith to pay their purses. As it is, they will come out ahead. The races themselves were more than the management expected. Excellent horses were entered and the contests were as exciting as one usually sees on the Hamline tracks. The first race of the meet was a three minute trot. Seven horses were entered in this race, 'mt only five started. These iive were Sun Kll, a black horse owned l)\* Hull of Pipestone, Martiene, a Min neapolis mare, Jack Blaine owned by Loheyde, Maggie owned by Schoeh and Blockade, a Janesville gelding. From the start it was evident that Mar tiene would be a winner, notwithstand ing Maggie O followed her closely, and she won the three heats without a break as the following summary will show. Sun Ell 3 Martiene 1 Jack Blaine 4 Maggie 2 Blockade 5 Time. 2:35, 2:34^ and 2:32. The second race on Thursday was the 2 :25 Trot. There were seven starters in this race and it took five heats to decide The time was excellent and the work of Senator Wilkinson and Bellton was pret ty to say the least. The starters were Senator Wilkinson, owned by Himmel miuiii of Mankato, Giovania, a black hoise owned by Schutte of St. Paul, Bellton, an Iowa horse, Lily A, Paul An derson's favorite, Phclp's Dell, Linden AViikes and AYillett. All of them kept in the race during the rive heats arid the start and finish in each case was excitinjr. The summary tells the story. Giovania 0 Senator Wilkinson.... 2 Lilly A 4 Dell 5 Linden A 7 AVillett 3 Bellton 1 2 1 1 1 I! 3 2 7 5 5 3 2 4 7 1 5 3 (i 6 4 3 4 2 Time 2:30, 2:25*, 2 :25i, 2:20. :26+, and Friday's races were even more enter taining than those of the previous day although the time was not so good. In the 2 :50 pace there were to have been fourteen starters but for some reason or other, Jack Thorpe, Helen Deen, Mollie Gray, Rock, Nan AViikes and Felix Bas set were withdrawn. Gene Wilkes, Housemaid, Templeton, Guy II, Graci anna, Patsy G, Roderick and Gold Dust started, however, and the contest between Patsy and Gracianna was alone worth the presence of any admirer of horse rac ing. Gene Wilkes caused considerable commotion by running away in the" first heat, and had it not been for a lucky catch, there might have been several ac cidents, for the horse, when stopped, was tearing down the track at a good rate of speed towards the seven horses that were making for the home stretch at a 2:30 gait. All dan ger was timely avoided however and the race went OP. Templeton, Guy and Roderick were distanced in the sec ond heat, so that the contest dwindled down to Housemaid, Gracianna, Patsy and Gold Dust with the following re suits: 1 Housemaid 6 Templeton 3 Guy 5 Gracianna 2 Patsy. 1 Roderick...» 7 Gold Dust 4 Time, 2:30, 2:27£ and 2:31. The best race of all perhaps was the 2:o0 three year old Trot in which Diana, Cosetta A, Little Joe owned by Gilmore of New Ulm, Bolina and Bell Flower participated. Bolina and Bell Flower were distanced in the first heat but Lit tle Joe and Cosetta A had to fight it out for six heats in order to decide who was entitled to first money. The finish in every heat in thi3 race was so close that the people yelled themselves hoarse and when the judges announced a dead heat in the fourth they were carried right off their feet. Little Joe finally won by a pretty stride on the home stretch in thelast sixth heat. The summary was as follows: Dianna 8 3 2 3 Cosetta A 2 2 1 1 2 Little Joe 1 1 2 2 1 Time 2:38, 2:404-, 2:40}, 2:44 and 2:39+. Saturday's events should have been the best of all for various reasons, but they were spoiled unfortunately by te-St. dious scoring and jockeying. In theMadelia 2:20 Trot or Pace for instance the hors es scored nineteen times before starting and naturally the people grew tired and dissatisfied. The 2:40 Trot opened with Eva, owned by Hull, Prince Nelson, Martiene, Maggie O and Minnie It owned by Keefe and Fable, as starters. Martiene won first money, Minnie second, Prince Nelson third and Maggie O fourth. Fol lowing.is the record of the three heats: Eva. Prince Nelson 3 Martiene 1 Maggie 0 4 Minnie 2 Time 2 :30i, 2:31f and 2:29|, In the 2:20 Trot or Pace there was an array of fine horses—Patsy G, a magnifi cent bay horse owned by Dubay of Min neapolis, Ben Allie, a bay gelding owned by Neff of Mankato, Dell, the Faribault horse, Herberta, a beautiful mare, owned by Jacobsen of St. Paul, Joker, a Blue Earth City stallion, Howard Medium, Giovania, Marvel and Tony Broekway. After scoring for nearly an hour they managed to get away and Ben Allie quickly took the lead. He came in ahead easily but was given ninth place for some violation of the rules on the opposite side of the track. Dell accord ingly got first place.Howard Medium was withdrawn after the second heat and Herberta, by breaking, was distanced in the third. She is a speedy animal, but her driver exercises no conirol over her whatever. The four heats were finished as recorded below: Joker Dell Patsy 2 Howard Medium 4 Ben Allie 9 Tony Broekway 5 Giovania 3 Marvel 7 Herberta 8 Time 2:261, 2:25, 2:30 and 2:29| Dor Stacy of Albert Lea acted as star ter. On the whole he gave good satis faction. Eibner and Graff had the restaurant priveleges, and were kept hustling all the time. The starter announced from the judges stand on Saturday that the Association would claim the same week in August next year for another meet. The Star Baiad furnised music on all three days. St. Peter sent up quite a delegation. Among them were Messrs. Moll, Fay, Carlson, Brady, McConncll, Nutter, Rost, Gray, Benn, Pell, Loomis and O'Brien. Lake Crystal sent the following dele gation: Messrs. Pratt, Humphry, Wood and Larson. Among those from Morton were Mc Gowan, Noach, Orth, Keefe and Welsh. Tracy, Springfield, Sleepy Eye and other neighboring towns all sent good sized delegations and the Association has to thank them for helping out. There were plenty of fakirs in town, but so numerous were the policemen that they were unable to practice any of their games without danger of arrest. The dog race was a novel feature and afforded amusement for the little ones. Saturday's running race was the only one of the three days accompanied by much excitement, and this from the fact that jockeying was attempted by an Iowa rider and proved futile. Three heats were run and the little youth from Pipestone finally won. His victory over the foxy Iowan caused more cheering than any event of the meeting. VOLUMEXYII. 35.

The Crowd From Waseca Browbeat Xew Ulm Out of a Victory. Perry Werden, the Minneapolis Trouble Maker, Wouldn't Be In It With Such Fellows. And As For Profanity and Obscene Lan guage They Came Here With Chunks of It. Pitcher Morrow Made Them a Present of Ten Runs, and isn't Being Thanked for it Either. Score Waseca, 25, New Ulm, 16. But it wasn't a ball game at all. It was simply two hours of jangling, kick ing and profanity, and along this line the Waseca aggregation mowed down the New Ulm nine as though they were a lot of kids. The writer has attended many a ball game and has frequently visited a horse race, where it was known that all pres ent were not gentlemen, but he has ne ver heard so much vulgarity and pro fane language nor witnessed so much ua gentlemanly conduct, as those Waseca were capable of who came here to play a friendly game of ball. They could take lessons to advantage in cen tlemauly behavior from the Indians who were here two weeks ago. Now as to their ability to play bali. They went to bat first, with Morrow in the box for the New Ulmites and Norton as catcher. They managed to make four runs and were then retired. After that Morrow got down to business and shut them out in one, two. three order, for four straight innings. Norton caught a beautiful game and Morrow kept send ing the sphere where it was absolutely impossible for the Waseca batters to find it. In the meantime the New Ulm boys been scoring runs up to ten so that when the sixth inning opened the score stood 10 to 4. At this juncture, when the game was practically won for New Ulm, Morrow began to act suspicious. He did not throw his customary ball and every time it was sent over the plate it was pound ed all over the diamond. Besides, he would go through a lot of arm-swinging before delivering the ball that permitted any amount of base stealing. Ten runs were thus worked in for Waseca, and the New Ulm boys saw at once that it was not accidental. Accordingly Morrow, was retired and Murfin put into the box. Murrin hasn't pitched since early in July The Waseca fellows by him pretty regularly and by refusing to go out when they were called out, managed to score a few more runs and when they finished they had 25 to their credit. Muifin only pitched two innings and was succeeded by Baasen. It was too late however to undo the damage that had already been done and they only managed to raise their score to 16. Norton's home run and brilliant catch were the features of the game. The Brainerd Club defeated the Red wood Falls team in three straight games last week. The score in the first game was 19 to 2, in the second 37 to 20 and in the third 9 to 5. At St. Peter, the Brainerds won the first game by a score of 6 to 2 and lost the second with a score of 9 to 0. The Brainerd's captain protesting against the umpires decision accounts for the pecu liarity of the score. WHOL E NUMBER9I9 Brown County Agricultural Society, 25. ANNUAL FAIR.

For Premium List and Rules and Regulations, address KICKERS WIN THE GAME. No Charge for Exhibits. New Ulm, Minn. HAS. L. ROOS, Secy, Billy Morrow pitched a game for Wa seca yesterday. That accounts for his letting them win the game here, when* he cculd just as well have held them down to 4 runs for the nine innings. With a little practice, Roy Murfin will make as good a pitcher as the New Ulm club needs. When he does get a ball over the plate, you can depend on it, that it won't be hit very often. There is no fault to be found with Swieter as first baseman. Some of hi stops and pick-ups -were dandies. In the Western League Indianapolis has sufficient lead to insure her the pen nant. Kansas City comes next and St. Paul third, the latter having played pretty poor ball of late. The Minneapo lis club hasn't done a thing since goin° away from home, but lose every game that has been played. A Good Concert. Speaking of the Kuenstler-Heim Con cert Co. which is to appear at Turner Hall on the evening of September 1st, the Pioneer Press says M. Aly Colin, the pianist whose per formance has at once delighted and sur prised many music lovers of St. PauLhas arranged with a number of professional friends to give a professional rehearsal of a musical programme that has been arranged for rendition before several so cieties of the artistic and musical people of the state some time about the first of the coming month. Mr. Colin is a Frenchman by birth, and has the great advantage of the brilliancy of execution that eminently distinguishes the Gallic students in their rendition of the masters of music. His playing has made him a conspicuous member of St. Paul's musi cal colony, and he is in great demand among the high-class amateurs and pio fessionals of the Twin Cities. The programme that is to be rendered next week, and probably before the mem bers of the Kuenstler-Heim, or Artists' Home club, has already been arranged, as follows. The rehearsal will be given only for professional people and news paper attaches. It will be observed that one of the cleverest of Minneapolis ar tists, W. J. Chick, is down for two num bers, as well as Herr Emil Straka, whose facility with the violin has earned him his fame hitherto. Valse de Concert,— J. Wieniewski M. Aly L. Colin. Bandits Life,— Harper William James Chick. Rhapsodie Hongroise,— H. Hauser Herr Emil Straka. Nocturne,—Op. 9, No. 2, Chopin Polish Dance,— Schwarenka M. Aly L. Colin. Mtting Asthure,- Tratere William James Chick. Legende,— Wieniewski Herr Emil Straka. Second Polonaise,— Franz Liszt M. Aly Colin, Dio Passente— (Faust), Gounod William James Chick. In addition to these musical features, the audience will be favored with the appearance of a German comedian of note and Mr. Aleman, the manager, who is himself a singer and dialect reader of much merit.
