It will be gratifying to horsemen in
this part of the country to know that
there is to be a trotting meeting at
Hamline in July. When the Twin City
club was changed to a running organ-
Son many horsemen looked upon the
event as one that closed up all hope tor
trotting meeting here the coming sum-
mer. Minneapolis had a meeting at
Minnehaha announced for the first
week in Jul v. St. Paui was without, an
nminiMtinn to rub* hold of the matter
orgamzalion to take no lot the matter,
and it was not known that any one had
a disposition to make an effort in favor
of arranging for a meeting. In this
wav the matter has run along all win-
ter* till Saturday last, when a number
of horsemen met, by appointment, at
W. L. McGrath's to talk the situation
over. The attendance was large, and
all present agreed upon the desirability
of holding a summer meeting. They
accordingly formed an association to be
called the St. Paul Driving club, and de-
termined to hold a meeting at Hamline
July y, 10. 11 and 13. Some of those
present declared that the club ought to
take the same dates that the Twin City
club had, the first week in July. This
was regarded as unwise, for the reason
that Minneapolis had announced that it
would hold a meeting: during that week,
consequently there would be a clashing
at once, and the two meetings, instead
of being harmonious, would seriously
tire each other. Those who thought
favorably of taking the first week in
July were not very persistent in their
views, and so the dates named above
•were determined upon. This. is best for
both clubs in every way. Two meetings
in this vicinity, one to follow the other,
will have the effect of drawing more
horses than one meeting would and
will be more satisfactory to horsemen in
everyway. The club will hold another
meeting Thursday at 3 p.m. at the same
place, when it is expected that the or-
ganization will perfected and a de-
termination reached in regard to the
class races and the prizes to be offered.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The bay stallion. Comet, owned by
C. Brewer, of this city, has been doing
valuable service ill the stud. This horse
valuable sei vice in tne suiu. " noise
was bred by A. M. Brewer m Olmsted
county, Minnesota. lie was foaled May
14, 1879, sired by the black stallion
Harkie, owned by Otto N. Cook, of
Rochester, Minn", known as Cook's
Blackhawk . Hambletonian. Comet's
dam was sired by Jim Sherwood, the
thoroughbred horse owned takeii '
Capt. lleuej. Comet was taken
up in Chisago county, Minnesota,
where he served, mares three
seasons commencing m the spring of
lbfcS. He was largely patronized and
left a number of colts in that vicinity
and they are reported by horsemen to
be the finest lot ever sired in tlm neigh-
borhood by any one stallion. I hey are
remarkable lor their size sty c, speed
and beauty, and they have blood-like
appearance 1). H. Abbott,. Wyoming,
Minn., writes that he owns Black
George, a three-year-old stallion, sired
by Comet, who has trotted a mile in
three minutes and has never been
trained. Mr. Abbott has refused «500
for him. Mr. Arngreist, of Chisago
City, Minn., owns a three-year-old horse
colt sired by Comet. This colt has
pulled a road cart a mile in less than
three minutes. M. D. Tombhr, Wyom-
ing. Minn., owns Maud Moore, sired by
Comer, for which lie has refused $500.
Comet was brought to Big Stone City in

Considerable comment has arisen In
-troltine circles on the recent offer of a
tiounigcncics on tiie lectin oiict or a
salary of JB.OOO per annum to the expert
trainer, driver and rider William E.
Weeks, to go to Paris and manage a
stable of American trotting horses,
Weeks has had a vast experience with
horses since he graduated from the
Stable of William 11. Van Cott, of this
city, where he was bookkeeper and gen-
eral manager for several years, and is.
therefore, a capable business man.
These qualifications, taken with his
gentlemanly style, render his services
worth $8,000 a year, more than is earned
by the average college-bred professional
man, and is paid to the average bank
president.
Weeks has driven to victory many
fast horses, among them Sir Walter,
Jr.. 2:1854*, J. B. Thomas, 2:18K; Adele
Gould, 2:10; William ll,'2:lß^.;.Tony
Newell, 2:19%; Charley Champlin,
2:21%; Tanner Boy, 2:22"^; Queen
Wilkes, 2:23%, and many others.
Weeks is now in Columbia, .S. C,
wintering a string of. speedy young-
sters, every one of them promising,
which he is preparing for next sum-
mer's battles. The list comprises quite
a good mare by Cuyler, a - stallion by
Red Wilkes, a stallion by Mainbrino
King, a .five-year-old mare, by Kentucky
Prince, out of the dam of Star, 2:25>4,
and another fiye-yeor-old mare,. Flora
Gould by Jay Gould, .out ot the
dam of Lilly Lysdyk, 2:27*4 and sev-
era! others owned m the South.

. GIRL ON HORSEBACK.
Row the Knack of Riding Is
. V Taught the Beginner. v
Philadelphia Item.
The base for all riding lessons for be
ginners is the safety and careful train
ing of the horses. Only a horse of strong
will power, wide intelligence and dis
ciplined nerves can bear with equanim
ity the succession of surprises a sweet
girl manages to arrange for him when
she mounts for the first time. The first
mounting is from .a block, and a rider
has only to sit down with a little spring
to be in her place, but there are some
thin-* like 100 ways a girl manages
to take that little spring and take
it exactly wrong before she is in
the saddle. Then it takes an artist
to arrange a girl's skirts and two grooms
to hold the horse while it is done.
When she doesn't forget to unhook the
little loop that holds her dress in the
back she sits down squarely on the ful
ness that should go over the pommel, or.
gets so helplessly wound up in the
skirts that no one but the fifteen-puzzle
man can ever get her out alive. Her
saddle is never exactly right, her stir
rup either too long or too short, and she*
fidgets aud fusses and -nestles and gig
gles and gets pink in her cheeks and a
lot of imprecation and* profanity in the
heart of the groom before she is finally:
satisfied and rides into the ring, only to
come back again in nine cases out of
ten for another horse or saddle or some
thing.. . --
Mounting from the ground is a yet
more difficult feat, and usually the first
few trials end in disaster. One hand
on the saddle, the other on the shoulder
of the master, his arm about her waist,
her foot in his hand and then count one,
two, three, and she springs only to land
where she least expects, while the horse
quivers and shivers in patient submis
sion and bears it. ■ .
The favorite mode of riding is after
the English style, and the master rides' '.
round and round with the pupil, cor
recting, criticising her position, and
suggesting such ideas as she may find
beneficial. Suddenly, without warning
he chirrups to her horse, and away they
go,, his hand underneath her elbo -to
teach how and when to rise from the
saddle as the horse bounds. .Faster and ,
faster they fly. and whiter and whiter
grows the girl's face through the name
less fear that will come and must be
dispelled by heroic treatment. •
A" naturally graceful woman who is
not afraid of a horse, and understands
how to manage one, can learn to ride
well in a very few lessons, but a timid,
nervous woman requires considerable
practice to accustom herself to the ter
rifying motion of the powerful animal
she rides. "I practiced months and
months." said a nretty young girl, "to
learn to rise in the saddle according to
the master's teaching, but 1 just
couldn't do it at all, and I was lame all
over, until one (lay papa said:" 'Why, -
just sit still and let the horse throw,
you,' and in ten minutes I; had it, and
have never had any trouble since."

Prince Tommy at Dancing School
Providence Journal. .
See the difference now! The grown
up young man comes to the young lady
with a prayer in Ins eyes and a smile on
his lips, and sometimes she gives him
the favor he asks and sometimes not.
Master Tommy walks up to a row of
misses and with a set jaw and a scowl
looks them over. From his discriminat
ing way he might be a Turk buying a
Circassian girl. Sometimes he stands
in front and revolves his head so as to
cover the line without moving his body.
Usually he looks at the first one and is
not exactly satisfied. Sometimes, if he
is pretty well grown, one can see the
mamma of young miss put her nose up
in the open air. But he walks past the
first and second one. Perhaps he sees
some one who is near, to his "sl£*le"
next. He turns half round to face her,
doubles his fists up at his hip and bows.
She rarely refuses. ;_*-.

apolis. In addition to the general causes
operating over the whole country to
turn public attention in this direction,
we have in Minneapolis a little knot of
active, earnest men, who, as the readers
of the Standard know, have" been for
some time past doing the most efficient
work by circulating literature, getting
signatures .to petitions, writing to
the press, holding debates, and in other
ways forcing discussion. Among these
are C. J. Buell, a well-known builder,
president of the Single Tax league;
County ' Commissioner Oliver T.
Erickson, - : I vice president of the
league; L. ! K. Campbell, carpenter,
treasurer of the league; 1 E. L. Ry
der, editor of the Northwest Trade, f;
secretary of the league; Douglas Yolk,
the artist; Howe Paige, lawyer; C. E. -
Haynes. proprietor of the Northwest.
Trade: Rev. Christopher Jansen, the
Norwegian poet Rev. Mr. Dah lgren,
Edwin Barber, W. A. Carpenter, George '
K.Shaw, a brother of Mr. Albert
Shaw, some " of- whose "• • observa
tions on the municipal government of
Glasgow we recently published; H. B. :
Martin, editor of - the. Northwestern
Labor Union; and, besides others whose •
names have slipped my mind, a num
ber of active newspaper men whose
names it might not be advisable to print
so long as their papers are opposing the
single tax. •; , -■..-.' „., , : ;*, ....;.., ■. ,~
'1 TWO MINNEAPOLIS GLORIES. ' \t ":
'The two principal glories of Minne- -
apolis are the West hotel and Pills
bury's great flour mills. 1 stopped at
the West hotel, and a magnificent hotel
it is. In San Francisco, in New York,
in London and in Paris there are, of
course, larger hotels; but I
know of no finer - one. . All
the Minneapolis "= people are
proud of it, and: Mr. West, who erected
it, proved not only of his faith in his city
but his public spirit. C. A. Haynes,
publisher of the Northwest Trade, the
leading commercial paper of the North
west, shows in the Journal how his"
fellow citizens have rewarded Mr.
West by taxing him over four times
as much as if he had allowed the„lot to
lie vacant, like a still larger piece of
land on the very next block of the same
street, where a thousand-dollar shanty
disfigures a $200,000 lot. Mr. Haynes
shows how even if the tax rate on the
assessed value of laud were doubled,
the West hotel would be relieved
of a burden of $5,000 per year by the
single tax. This is by no means an un
important matter, for so much has the
growth of Minneapolis been checked by
land speculation that . the West hotel
must be running at a considerable loss.
MILLER AND SINGLE TAX.
Charles A. Pillsbury. the head of the
great Hour house of Charles A. Pills
bury & Co., took me over his big mill
and showed me its wonderful machinery.
Mr. Pillsbury came to Minneapolis with
8300. He has made his money..; by en
ergy and enterprise in the production
of wealth, and. is now. the largest
miller in the world. 1 found him thor
oughly convinced that taking taxes off
improvements and personal property
and concentrating taxation on .land
values would be of the greatest benefit
to the whole state and to all classes of
its people, save alone the holders .
of idle laud. Nor .is " this any
wonder. In the - same article in
which he spoke of the West hotel,
Mr. Haynes showed that while the as
sessed value of the land on which this
great mill stands is $14,760; the assessed
value of the improvements— is to
say, buildings and machinery— is $220,
--850. On this mill Charles A. Pillsbury
& Co. now pay a tax of $4,750.20. Under
the single tax, even if the present tax
were doubled,- their taxes would be only
$590.40....' • "■;..- .. :.v
MR. PILLSBURY A' FBEE TRADER.
Mr. Pillsbury is a Republican. He
has been elected - for ten terms to the -
state senate and could have been elected
to the United States senate if he had
consented to take the position and
leave his business. -But like many,
other Republicans -.in, the North
west, I found him to be really a
free trader. And no "wonder about
that either. He showed me.the jute
bags in which the great quantity of
flour that he exports to -Europe is
packed. The jute'is grown in India;!
the bags are woven in Dundee. Our
protective tariff puts a tax both?
on jute and -ony: bags, and
the consequence; is that, these bags
cost 13 cents, whereas -'under free
trade they would only cost 8 cents.
Nearly everything used in . the way of
machinery and supplies is increased in^
cost by the tariff in like manner, but the;
value of the product is not increased at
all. Here is this great mill, run by the
highest-priced American labor, for Pills
bury & Co. not merely pay the highest
wages, but give a share in their profits
annually to ; alb their employes who
have been with them over two years
yet its products are. being exported
without bounty to the "pauper- wage"'
countries of Europe. Whoever sees the
mills 7 appreciates the reason. This
high-wage- labor is in reality
the cheapest- labor, . for it utilizes "
machinery to the utmost." The cars on
the side tracks are drawn up to the mill,
as wanted, by water power; the grain is
shoveled out of the. cars '■■ by the same
power, a man merely directing the big
shovels; and from the ; time . the grain
enters the elevator until the \ time the
flour is received .into -the' bags or bar
rels, it is not touched by human hand. V
:" NEWSPAPER ATTENTION. . *.'..--'.■
. The Northwestern, press gives evi
dence of the great interest' which the
single tax £is • exciting >in " that I part .
of the country. - A number of
the weekly papers \ ; are, like
the Daily Star,- of ; Minneapolis, avow
edly for it. "And : even- papers like the
Minneapolis Tribune, and Journal, and .
the Globe and Pioneer Press of St.Paul.
though not avowedly for it, nave opened
: their.; columns . for.'its discussion. . In ;
fact, what men are discussing wherever
they meet can not well be kept out of
the papers. y *• ■
CELEBRITY ON PASTEBOARD.
What the Photographs of Notable
f ; People Bring. '
: BOSTON corre
spondent of a South
ern paper writes that
the - . sale . of photo
graphs of celebrities
tin Boston is large,
and some of the best
dealers have as many
as 1,200 people repre
sented in from one to
twenty-five . styles. ;
.Mary Anderson and
'Ellen Terry are to be
: had In any number of different poses
and costumes, and the demand for their
photos is always good. Just now Julia
; Marlowe is the favorite, and during her
week at the Hoi lis Street theater the
call for her picture has been very good.
FfliinjjjjDavenport has not "been in great
demand thus far. Marie Jansen sells
well, those pictures showing her in the
sensational "Nadjy-'-costume being the
favorite. Pauline Hall sells well, though
she has never been as much of a favor
ite in Boston as in New York. Isabelle
' Evesson, with her great round eyes,
looks from the cardboard in a number
of taking styles, and her pictures are
still in good demand, notwithstanding
her departure from the museum. | The
man most worshiped in Boston by the
women is young actor Davenport, at the
museum, and his pictures sell to the
ladies above all others; Jack Mason is
•in something of a demand, but his day
as an idol seems to have passed. Booth
and Barrett sell well always. Mrs.
Cleveland has nad her greatest run, and
the demand for her picture is falling off.
Mrs. Harrison's photograph is not yet
in the market, but is expected daily.
Mr. Cleveland has had some very good
likenesses taken within a very short
while, bu^the sale for them has fallen
almost flat. Mr. Harrison's photograph
is not in good demand, as yet, but the
inauguration will probably make, quite
a difference to the sale. Foreign celeb
rities sell well in Boston; They cost 75
cents each, but have a large sale never
theless. - There -are' some fine collec
tions offered -to choose from. One of
the most striking of these perhaps is
that of Richard Mansfield, in his fam
ous dual role of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. The erect and manly form -of
Dr. Jekyll is seen standing in the center
of the picture, while in shadowy out
line at his feet crouches the hide
ous, repulsive Hyde. The process em
ployed in taking the picture is the same
as that once used in making the well
known "spirit" photographs. '-American
photographers were not sharp enough
j to think of the trick, and as a result an
English artist will make a fortune out
of it.- There are regular customers - for
these celebrities, .and .many valuable
collections have been made by Boston
people, that have cost hundreds of dol
lars. It is not unusual for a person to
spend $100 at a single purchase. There
is always a call in Boston for pictures
of Trinity church, Bunker Hill monu
ment, the Public garden. Old South
church and other, old buildings, those
named selling best. -./ -. ; y
