THE RENO FAIR AND THE CARSON
RACES.

With reference to paragraph which ap-
peared in the Virginia Evening Chronicle of
few days back, the Reno Gazette of Wednes-
day says;
The papers, while giving the State fair
society good notices, and displaying desire
to aid a worthy institution, are gaining the
impression tibet Reno is opposed to races in
Carson. We have no objection to Carson
succeeding, although we have received no
favors or considerations at the hands of Car
son. There is no disposition to be unfair,
except on the part of the Carson managers.
Reno will take her own part and meet the
envy of the Hub" without help. She will
not, however, descend to any schemes which
would hurt Carson without proper cause
There is no necessity for difference, although
the Carson society has tried to take advantage
Of every trife The managers of that in
Iiitution can therefore push forward as long
- they keep on their own ground. If they
want a contest, they will not have to beg for
II.
Now we beg to say just one word. In the
FIRST place We think that the name selected
for our society is, for every reason, the most
conspicuously inappropriate one that could be
conceived Of Such a selection is of piece
with the folly perpetrated by the Sacramento
record when, to spite The Union, they imi-
tated its type, measure and general looks
There is no need of any such rivalries as
that. They never pay. and do not commend
themselves to the fSr of sensible and fair
minded people Among the earliest things
for our society to do is to change its name
Suppose we call it the Carson Park Associa-
ton; or the Ormsby Stock Raisers' Society;
or tho Carson Racing and Cattle Show Society,"
There IS something i'll name; and in this in
stance the name has made deal of bad feel
ing As to the proposition that eff" so and
there will be exercised by the Central Pacific
Company glaring discrimination in favor of
Reno and against Carson, who is it that has
it in his power to bring about any such a
piece of injustice? Are the affairs of the
Central Pacific Company in the hands of
agents who have it in their power to do such
things as this2 Is that company 80 blind to
its own interests as to be guilty of SO fragrant
piece of favoritism as this? Are they will
ing to put this club of discrimination in
the hands Of their critics and enemies to be-
labor them in the next Legislaturel No
Let us live ana le5 live Reno hasn't an in
terest that leai conflict with our own. The
Central paclti- railroad will not compromise
Itself in any such way As is indicated. lis
managers are more sasacious than to commit
So esr,g.ou, blunder. The Carson races
will be success the two towns will get on,
after all, with harmony and good fellowship,
and the First Fall Meeting of the Carson
5ociety viii be q s?!ondid success. Our pur-
poses are positive and not negative. We are
striving for success and not to defeat any
rival. In fact We have no rival. We stand
upon our own merits, modestly letting our
virtues be discovered by an adlniring and APP
piaudiug world We are handsomer than
Reno. That's all the cause of difference
i!Ut we can't help being comedy and attractive
any more than we can help being amiable
