SPOKANE S VICTORY.

The victory OF spokane in the Ken
lucky derby last week has created
more interest and enthusiasm in
Montana than the constitutional cleo
gloriously won. Spokane entered the
race 70 get IA place, but not even his
owner had the courage to hope Tor
first. Proctor Knott. whose fame Is
world wide. was the favorite in the
pools and with the vast multitude who
hailed his appearance for the start
with great cheering. The Montana
colt got his applause after the race,
when he came in n neck ahead of the
blue grass marvel. The time. consid-
ering weight carried, is the best on
record for the distance, and being
so very fast, leaves no ground for
ifs" over the result. Knott was
pushed hard and "swerved" and the
bunch grass colt forged ahead.
This was a great victory for Motana
and the horse industry. 1t proves
what has often been said, that here
are the elements for producing he best
racers in the world. Our nut ricious
grasses. altitude, climate, soil, give
them muscle, lung power, endurance
and good feet. We may go to Ken
lucky for blood many years yet, but
eventually no region will excel Mon
tana in the production oi good horses.
either for racing or draft purposes
The eyes of Eastern turlmen are
now turned toward Montana and
while we have their undivided atten-
ton il might be well to inform them
that there are more Spokanes
here. though at present "they are
young things and cannot leave their
mammas.
