! A large audience assembled on Mon
day evening at the Presbyterian church
to hear Rev. Woods lecture on Gan
Hour in Wonderland Many had
been specializing on what would be de-
velopcd from the theme, but all We're
delighted with the treatment Of the
subject. Dr. Woods located his won-
derland III Canada and gave a most
vivid description of a trip down the ST.
Lawrence from Kingston to Montreal.
So perfect was the speakers memory
and vivid his Imagination that not an
island, a rapid, bend in the river or
point of natural or historic interest es-
capped notice. 1t was a pleasant and
profitable hour and the delighted audi
ence would be glad at any near time to
spend another hour with DR.. Woods.
Why not get Lewiston included in
some racing circuit? A race meeting
can be held here earlier than at any
point east of the Cascades. Any num-
Der of horsemen Of the neighboring
towns would enter their horses. There
are in training here already several of
the swittest flyers in the west Let the
Lewiston horsemen get together and
see if race meeting cannot be held.
The track is now being worked over
and added Improvements to the extent
of several hundred dollars are being
made. From its natural advantageous
position Lewiston should have the
finest track in the west for training
and working horses, and it could have,
with but little effort, a spring and fall
meeting which would be largely
attended.
