IErum Satnrday's Daily,l

This afternoon trials of speed Will
take place at the fair grounds between
some nf the fastest horses in the county.
These races are becoming more popular,
and have been a prime cause n encour-
aging the raising of standard and
thorough bred stock. During the past
few years the stock of the county has
been greatly improved both by importa-
ton and breeding until now Great Falls
can show a number of fine horses. Much
attention has been given to thorough
breds, but there are NOR standard bred
horses. Men are scarce who do not like
to hold the reins over a fast trotter, hence
the tendency has been to purchase road
sters with the best p~edigrees. Both
single and double drivers are in demand,
and this town can boast of a number of
exceptionally fine animals.
