Thos. Hill, of Grand Forks; was
here last week interviewing our citizens
regarding the feasibility of holding a
fall race meeting some time in October
The owners of fast horses in the
northern part of the state are forming
circuit for a fall meeting and it is
suggested that Langdon arrange adate
so as to join with Grafton and Park
River on this end of the circuit and
hold a two-day meeting. Considerable
interest was shown in the matter at a
meeting that was held at Columbia

and from the way the boys took hold
of it we believe that no trouble will
be experienced in hanging up 1000 in
purses for two days race meeting.
