- THE BEMIDJI BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDA VOLUME 8. NUMBER 358. STATE FAIR TO BE SGENE OF FAST RAGES Officials Have Closed Deal ‘Whereby Famous Horses Owned by M. W. Savage Will Appear. CHAMPION DAN PATCH TO RACE As Will Minor Heir, Lady Maud C., Hedgewood Boyand George Gano All of Which are Champions. “Fastest harness horse racing in the world at the Minnesota State Fair September 4th and 6th, 1911.”! This advertising line will be used ‘ov the Minnesota State Agricultural Society without fear of question or criticism. The ground upon which the state fair officials base this pro- diction is the closing of a deal with M. W. Savage which insures the ap- pearance at the Minnesota State Fair ot five of the world’s fastest horses. These horses are Dan Patch, 1:55; Notwithstanding the immense popular success attained by the Sa- vage pacers during 1910 Mr. Savage predicts a greater success in 1911, He predicts this for two reasons. First, each one of the four pacers is more experienced, has wintered un- usually well and seems much more fit for flights of extreme speed than in the spring of 1910. Second, when these four mighty speed mer- chants meet this fall it will not be in a one mile dash, but in & three heat race under trotting association rules and exactly the same condi- tions as those which govern the races for the biggest purses. country’s _The horses are now being given their spring training on the Inter- national Stock Farm 'at Savage, Minn., and as Mr. Savage has already refused several offers of early dates it is probable that their first real battle of the season will be on Labor Day over the Minnesota state fair track. Mr., Savage is very much pleased over the closing of a contract with the Minnesota state fair as he is anxious to have some member of his stable give Minnesota, his home state, a new world’'s record, as his inimitable Dan Patch gave her the world’s speed record that seems des- Large Audience Greeted Mrs. Emma 3 Loe Skaug Last Evening, Those who attended the Jhnlor class concert last e‘:eniug with the idea that they were going to hear a fixusical treat, were not disappoint- ed.

This ag- zgragation of champions is admitted to be the greatest stable of horses ever gathered together and their ap- pearance on one track and in a race for the championship of the world will be the attraction that no horse- man or horse lover of Minnesota or ' the northwest can resist. . Hedgewood Boy and George Gano. Under the terms of the contract, which will be signed in a few days, My, Savage agrees to exhibit Dan Patch, the champion of all champion harness and the one animal more than all others that has brought fame and glory to Minnesota and the Min- nesota state fair track, on the fair grounds and track during the entire week of September 4th to 9th. This will undoubtedly be the greatest pacer’s farewell appearance as the champion has been permanently re- tired from the track and from ex- hibition work and will be brought to th Minnesota state fair grounds only as a special concession by Mr. Savage and owing to the fact that the horse has so long been an idol of Minne- sotans, and that he had made his own and the world’s fastest over the Hamline track. The real entertainment and inter- est of the card will center in the race for world’s championship honors be- tween Minor Heir, Lady Maud C., mile Last year this quartet raced over some of the best tracks in the United States. They traveled nearly twen- ty thousand miles and gave exhibi- tions Canada to Mexico and from Pennsylvania to Arizona in sixteen states and eighteen different towns. They raced before great crowds of people and were applauded by hundreds of thousands of horse from tined to stand for years to come. Little Boy Grizzly. Enos A. Milis, writing of his ad- veutures with a pet bear known as Little Boy Grizzly, says: “He and I had a few foot races, and vsually, in order to give me a better chance, we ran downhill, In a 200 yard dash he usually paused three or four times and ‘wited ‘for me to catch up, and 1 was not a slow biped either.

The remuneration of postal clerks in Russia incindes emoluments which do wot appear in the form of woney. T'hey are furnished quarters, heat and light, and in addition allowances for nni- torros as well as medical attendance and medicine for thewselves und their families. b cities like Moscow a large bospital 1 maintained for the conven tence of postal clerks and carriers. Their children are admitted to the schools free of charge, which in Russia is quite an item of expense, especially fu preparatory schools for colleges, to which the children of the titled and the wealthy only are admitted. The pay of clerks and carriers ranges from $12.50 to $18 per month. They may, @oreover, receive gratuities from those to whom they deliver mail. Police Methods In Berlin. Berlin is the most strictly governed city \n the world, and a stranger will e continually violating the ordinances and rcegulations without being con- scious of his offenses. But the penal- ties are not severe, and the policeman who arrests you is prepared to im- pose the fine on the spot instead of calling a patrol wagon and-taking you to the police station. You pay him a few marks., for which he gives you a receipt. and within twenty-four hours lovers. During the season the combinatiorn lowered a state. record nineteen times. At present the state race record of fourteen states is held by some member of the Savage stable. They lowered the world’s record six times and lowered the track record of every track oved which they started. Minor Heir holds two and Lady Maud C., three new race re- cords and Minor Heir, during the season of 1910, paced four miles, in a race, faster than any other harness horse ever went. Minor Heir con- clusively proved himself to be the greatest speed marvel the horse world has ever known. He did things that even Dan Patch failed to do and hundreds of horsemen throughout the country predict that this wonderful pacer will go “in the you maost appear before the captain In charge of that precinct and turn {n the receipt as a check upon the po- Uceman who has arrested you.
