Mineral and Mechanical assoclation's prop
e,tv. which was advertised to come OFT at
the court house door yesterday. did not
taxa Mace on account of more legal conl-
plications. The property was to have been
sold to wind up the affairs of the association,
whose corporate existence has expired, and
allow it to reorganize. An injunction had
been issued against the sale, and the law
yers had the whole matter postponed until
Nav IL. Secretary Francis Pope says this
will very likely prevent any race meeting
coming off here in Helena, as the time
necessary to get the association in shape
after the legal difficulties are disposed OF
will prevent anything being done except
with q rush. This rush the association does
not care to have. Shonld the fall meeting
be dropped it will be quito a disappoint-
ment to the lovers of good racing. There
are many good horses now at the fair
grounds training for the fall events. Most
them, however, are entered for other races
than those set for Helena.
Among the trotting stock at the fair
grounds are Hugh Kirkendalrs Katie s.
and Erect, both colts of Director, the sire
OF Margaret s. and Homestake. Maud j.,
Gregory and S. s., of tho Kirkendall sta
bles, are also in training there. w. H..
Rice has his 81 Hundley, Ben Hur and Ken
nelwood at the grounds. Hervey Barbour's
three-year-old Florida, record 2:25lA, is also
at the track. Billy Sims PAGER, Black
Tom. record 2:37, is receiving a dressing
down for work at the same place. The
running stock on the grounds is represented
by Gentry, Annie Moore, lifeline, Vlceroy,
BONNEVILLE, Livingston, Henry L. and a
brother of Black Pilot. Most of the entries
for the Helena races were runners. There
are no colt stakes among the %trotting events.
Report has it that Hon. w. A. Clark will
remove his stables from Butte to Miles
CITY. The object of this is not stated, but
is currently believed to be on account of
the more important events that are to come
off in the eastern part OF the state during
the coming season.
Marcus Daily has a two-year-old colt by
Senator, which he has named John Mackey.
The youngster about three weeks g trot-
ted a quarter mile to cart in 40 seconds, a
2:4O gait. John Mackey is entered for the
two-year-old Montana Home Bred stakes,
the Free for All stakes, and the Three Year
Old Free for All at Anaconda and Butte.
Altogether Mr.. DAILY has twenty-five three
year-olds entered in the Free for All stakes
over the range.
Ed Laferty has bought the two-year-old
Miss Cossack. by Don Cossack, dam Nellie
w. by Gilbert Lacy, for $3.50. She is en-.
tered for the Free for All at Anaconda and
Butte.
The stations Lord Byron and Prodigal
are looking very we'll at the Bitter Root
ranch.
Jim Porter has a PAGER i'll training at the
race track here of whom he expects great
things, having gotten 2:271 out of him in a
trial last year.
Hugh Kirkendall is shipping some of his
horses to his ranch. including Glenellen and
Donnyhougall. of the runners, and the
trottinR mare Mollie Bishop.
Nevada and Daniel b are among the
horses in training at the fair grounds,
which will doubtless be left there until it is
decided whether there will be any racing
this fall.
