All.

First days of a meeting are not usual
ly successful, and there are special rea-
SONS why the rule should prove true in
the case of the Great Falls meeting. 1t
was advertised to the world that our
meeting would begin on Monday, and
the Saturday contests were an after
thought not announced until a few days
ago. Still there was a fair attendance,
some 800 people being on the grounds.
The racing was as good as expected, and
may be considered a fair introduction of
the meeting. Next week there will be
larger crowds and better sport.
