that class.

The country people flocked in
yesterday and today and spent
their mornings in shopping and
seeing the sights. To many Of the
strangers tie electric street cars
were great novelties, as were the
building elevators. Many stood on
Houston street and counted the
stories in the Mackey building and
expressed establishment at seeing
such high structure; others in
spected the new City hall and coun-
ty courthouse, while not a few took
run down to the Hot Sulphur

When you see an old plug, all
sleeked up and groomed and hook
ed to a common livery rig, or
butcher cart, or anything with
wheels, going down street, with
its driver setting back on the rib
bons and urging the nag along, don't
get out of his way. He has been
to the races and thinks he has a
flyer too, but a three-legged dog
could out-run him.
Jockeys and bookmakers ought
not to talk of their "business,"
about pulling in" "money to you,
if you do" and so on, in a crowd.

w. King, Hon. John Wilkens,
county commissioner-elect, and
many others.
Mr.. Frank Walsh, a prominent
ranchman and land owner, came
in to see the sights OF the race
course Tuesday.
The sensation of the races yester-
day was the fine imposed by Judge
Lopez on the drivers of Alice Nc
Curdy and Russell Il in the third
heat of the 2:3O pace. The penalty
imposed on each was $50 for pull
ing their horses and not trying to
win. Chandler drove Russell Il and
Nelson Alice McCurdy. This timely
interference of fair and square
judges, will end, to a certain extent,
any further attempt at flake rae
ing" The decision of the judges
seems to meet with general APP
prevail, except to those who won.
