BUTTE, July THE July races came To
a close to-day, with magnificent weather,
small attendance and capital sport. The
races, while ON the whole not SO lively
and interesting as those of Saturday,
nevertheless held the crowd and gave the
guessers something to think about, The
pacing race was a grand exhibition. Al
together the attendance at the races has
been poor while the sport has been good
all through, and, during part OF the time,
capital. Financially he association is
about even.
The first event this afternoon was the
dash of three furlongs between Bay Char
ley, Susie Glenn, ~Concentrator and Tom
Bowling. Susie Glenn was the favorite
at So to "a for the stable, which included
Tom Bowling and Concentrator, and 81
for Bay Charley. The horses started
with C~oncentrator in the lead and
Bay Charley second. The horses got in a
banch at the first eighth and some trouble
arose. Tom Bowling crossed under the
wire first with C~oncentrator second, Susie
Glenn third and Bay Charley fourth.
such representations were made To the
judges, however, that Tom Bowling and
~Concentrator were both set back for foul
ing Susie Glenn, who was awarded the
race.
