With hurricane sweeping the track,
solid banks of dust and sand beating the
blinded crowd to shelter, racing yester-
day was out of the question. The at
tendance at the driving park was slim,
only the hardest of the high rollers
Drawing the gale. The sand at the track
and all over the grounds rose in vast
columns into the eyes, mouths, ears and
noses of the people, making it utterly
impossible to see fifty feet from the
grand stand or to keep ones hat
upon ones head. For this reason,
yesterdays races were postponed until
Monday, when they will take place. AL
tickets which were purchased for yester-
days racing will be honored any time
during the meeting.
DERBY DAY TODAY.
Every man in Salt Lake and surround
ing country who has a particle of sport
ing blood in his anatomy should not miss
the Derby day runs today. Not only will
it be half holiday for all the clerks in
the city, but the ladies will be out IN
handsomer costumes than Easter day has
seen. The grand stand will be moving,
agitated mass of color and beauty. 1t is
anticipated that the attendance will be
larger than any day during this meeting
or any other one the association has ever
had. All the larger stores have consented
to close.
The string today contains some of the
fastest flyers in the stables. The horses
are all as fit as fiddles, and if You like
good racing you will see it today, for 1t is
derby day, and there are s., 1000 up in
purses.
! The first race will be the great free-for-
all 81 600 pace, and will be contested for
/ by such famous horses as Our Dick, Cog
nae, Bawley, w w and Lady H. Such
a string as that is seldom seen on track
at one time. w w P was winner We'd
nesday, but Our Dick, the Los Angeles
favorite, with a 2:10 record, is pitted
against him today.
The event of the day, OF course, will be
the Derby run. Every horse carries
weight, the distance being mile and one
half. Spoon, who won easily in Wednes-
days race, carries 1902 pounds, Rilla II
III, Beaver 122, Minnie Beach 9S and
Uncle Bob 1919. Owing TO the other at
IL
5 o. clock, but 1t is safe proposition that
no one will leave the grounds until the
winner is announced. A stake OF 81 ,00t
is offered, and the prettiest race ever run
on Utah course will be seen.
Yolo Maid, Dubois Bros. fast mare is
down for q half-mile go against the
worl5's record of :6e1s. The track is
very fast, all conditions are favorable,
and it is more than probable she will
break it. Wapello, the fastest yearling
in the world, will also give exhibition
heats.
POOL SELLING.
The big room in the Cullen wa.
crowded to suffocation last night, with
horsemen and horse lovers. More people
were abroad and more placed money thar
on any other night since the racing com
menced. Although the storm scared then
out during the day, the talent was out il
full force last night, the betting goins
with snap. There were quick calls anC
fast selling. In the free for all, Our Dict
