The program as above stated COM
mences Monday, July 2, with a race
which will be of great interest to all
horsemen in north Montana, viz: For
the stations owned in Cascade county.
This race was gotten up some time back
by several gentlemen, residents of Cas-
cade county, in a spirit of friendly rival
ny as to who had the fastest horses. The
association approaching the drawing
card of such a race, have offered the
gentlemen the freedom of the track, and
have added a purse to the fund already
subscribed by the various nj The
other races on the first day follow as
stated in the program.
The feature of the second days racing
will be the t~rotting race with a purse
for the 300 class, which is expected by
knowing ones to be run in about 2:12.
The third day being the Fourth of
July has been generously endowed by
the association with some of their most
interesting events. With the first race
is hung up a purse Os 500 for green
horses owned in Cascade county, the
best two in three, every person of course
owning a driving horse will be after the
5000; next follows a running purse of
$2O0-fve MISUNDERSTANDING; then a
most interesting running race of one
mile distance; closing the day with a
trotting race for a purse Of S4O0, of the
2:2S class.
The fourth day among the interesting
events will have a running race of four
furloEgs for two. year-olds, and as there
are many horse breeders in our vicinity
having promising colts of this age, it is
expected there will be numerous entries,
and that it will be one of the most in
teresting portions of the program.
The fifth day opens with a stake race
for two-year.ol ds bred and raised in
Montana, best two in three, the as
ISOLATION adding $500, and many Of the
young colts will be given a chance to
show up what the mountain state can
do in breeding trotters. Then comes a
running race of two and a half furlongs,
selling. This is decidedly the most
unique feature of the program, is rather
an innovation on horse racing in our
state, and no doubt will prove very in
teresting to all. The horse is weighted
according to the value placed upon him
by his owner when entering. If he wins
the race, he must be put up at auction
and sold to the highest bidder. If the
horse brings more than he was entered
for, the surplus is divided between the
second horse and the association. This
kind Of a race has been very popular
east, and it is thought will prove quite a
drawing card at this meeting. Two
other interesting events follow during
that days racing.
The sixth and last DAY commences
with a running race, which is followed
by another one Of one and one.eighth
mile handicap with a purse of $500. This
race should attract horsemen from every
section Of the country for it is virtually
the Derby of the meeting. The last day
also furnishes the great free for all
trotting race for which the association
gives a purse of $500. 1t is whispered
on the side that it will take 2:1O to win
the race. The meeting will close with
a salve, being a running race of six fur
longs for beaten horses, for which the
association provides a 5000 purse, and
demands no entrance fee.
Take the meeting throughout, the as
ISOLATION offers a tempting program not
only to the citizens OF Great Falls, but
also to the thousands of strangers who
will nc doubt spend their Fourth of
July in our city, and enjoy the race
week.
