DRIVING PARK RACE MEETINGS
Summer and Fall Races on Kansas
Best Track.

DGSG IL DIN
The directors of the Driving Park
and Fair association held a meeting
last evening and concluded to give two
trotting meetings this season, one
August 10 to 81 and one October IA
to II. Also to give matinee every
two weeks from July 4th to December
LIST. The matinees will be given for
the benefit of patrons of the track I'M
der strict management of the directors
and no lineup records will be allowed.
The new suggestion, as given in Wal
lace's Monthly, will be applied for the
benefit of those who wish to give their
horses records. 1t is as follows: Class
races will be made to beat certain time
with not more than four to enter nor
less than three, with three tow st esatls,
with SIS entrance fee. The fir
that beats the time specified var zoe
sent to the barn, and so on with second
and third. The horse that beats speci-
fed time and makes the fastest in any
of the heats will be given all the en-
trance money, and if none of the hors-
es beat time specified the money all
goes to the association.
The secretary is daily receiving ap-
plications for stables and privilege OF
training on the track, as it is widely
known that Abilene has the fastest
mile track west of the Mississippi
river.
The directors are thinking seriously
of giving a county fair with their Oc-
tober meeting, aid if they get proper
encouragement from the citizens of
the towns and county they will no
doubt do so.
The directors have decided that the
meetings this year shall be above re-
proach. No pool-selling or betting will
be allowed on the grounds and no en-
tries except for legitimate record-seek-
ing will be allowed. The association
has given Abilene a reputation to be
proud of as a sporting headquarters
and should have the hearty support of
the citizens of the vicinity in its efforts
to conduct another series of races.
Mr.. Geo. A. Rogers was elected sec
Rotary at last nights meeting.

CAME NEAR BEING FATAL.
A Runaway in Which Three Young
Ladies Have a Narrow Escape.

A narrow escape from fatal results
was had Sunday evening, when three OF
Abilene's young ladies took a swift
runaway ride and ended with an over
turn. Miss Nina Hodge, her sister
Miss Grace and Miss Grace Sewell were
driving in a dOuble-seated carriage
drawn by a single horse about 6 O'Clock
and were followed by Mr.. Sewell's dog.
When near Cedar and Tenth the dog
began barking at the horse and the lat
ter, becoming frightened, went at a
rafting pace down Tenth to Kinney,
where Miss Nina, who was driving,
successfully turned the corner and
went southwark. At the corner of
Sixth they were not so fortunate, and
the horse, turning toward home, over
turned the carriage and fell itself.
All three of the young ladies were
thrown to the ground. Miss Nina
struck her head on plank and was
carried home insensible, the other two
occupants of the carriage were badly
bruised, but are about the house today
as usual. Grave fears were felt for
Miss Nina's recovery last evening, but
she at last regained consciousness and
the doctors believe that no serious re-
suits will follow. She is resting easily
today, and it is hoped that she may
soon recover.
The accident might easily have
proved much more serious, though
Miss Hodges pluck in controlling the
horse would doubtless have carried the
party home in safety, but for the deep
cutters of East Sixth street.
