There is a general and growing
interest in the great 100000 meeting
to be given by the Columbia Driving
Park Association next fall. Every
day we are asked what we know
about the prospects,. In order to in
form ourselves, SO that we might COR
rectly inform the public, we sought
az Interview with the President, Mr..
w. G.. Jones yesterday, and asked
him what about your prospects,"
Every fiattering," he replied, "here
is sample of what | am receiving
every day." and he handed the HER
AID reporter a telegram that read as
follows: Kalamazoo, Mich Out
look very encouraging. Been to Jack
son, Adrian, Cold Water, and Stur-
ges; will go to Grand Rapids to-mOr-
row. You will get at least 100 entries
from Michigan Mr.. Jones says the
same cheering intelligence comes
from California, Iowa, Kentucky and
other states. So there is little doubt
but the meeting will be success, and
a grand success. 1t will advertise the
lands and the stock interests OF Maui
nv County from Maine to California
as this county has never been adver-
tised before. 1t will bring horses and
men from half the states in the
Union. The men who come, many of
them, will be men of means, who fol-
low their high bred horses to see them
90. Many of these men have farms
in the frozen North and Northwest,
and are tired of keeping their horses
and themselves in these cold regions.
Numbers of them are looking South
for small stock farms to winter their
horses and spend the winters on. 1t
would be surprising indeed if many
OF them do not fancy Maury County
lands. Their presence here will, as a
natural consequence, make an active
at increased values for our
lands and our horses. An enterprise
that will do this, deserves liberal
home patronage. Mr.. Jones' enter
prise not only deserves it, but the |
farmers and stock men owe to them
selves to encourage by their patron
age any industry that will so enhance !
their own interests. Next Monday is
the last day that entries to the stakes
can be made. 1t would look bad |
when the entries are published, to
find that other States have made a |
better showing than Tennessee, and |
it would be a reflection upon this |
county il other counties show more |
entries than Maury. Besides, our colts |
and horses are as coed as anybOdy's, |
il not a little better; why let the
money of the rich stakes be taken |
away from here? our COLI may De |
a winner; you will never know his |
speed until you try him; why not try |
him at home and help home indus
try? If you only win fourth money, |
YOU are way ahead. RENE mber the |
late, next Monday is the last day |
If you don't get in you will regret it
when your colt develops speed next
summer. Mr.. Jones has already re-
,eived requests from Pennsylvania !
and Nebraska, from two large stables
Of horses, wanting to come here in
February and get the use of his track |
for early training, the parties Propos-
ing to stay here until the summer
campaign opens. Both these parties |
speak of buying SIN all farms here for
stock purposes, so as to avoid taking |
heir fine horses to their cold homes |
during the idle winter season.
