Special Dispatch TO the standard
Livingston, May 1.-The stockholders
of the Livingston Fair and Racing as
ISOLATION will shortly hold a meeting
for the purpose of electing a new board
of directors. who in turn will elect new
officers for the ensuing year. The as
ISOLATION treasury is in a depleted con-
dition. but there is a large quantity of
II easury stock on hand and an effort
will be made to dispose of a sufficient
quantity to meet the expenses connect
ed with repairing the fair ground and
the erection of some additional build
ings. 1t is proposed to construct be-
tween 100 and 200 additional stalls.
The various secretaries of the differ
ent racing associations throughout the
Montana circuit have not yet held a
meeting to arrange dates for the sew
eIal cities, and the opinion prevails
in some quarters that there will be no
circuit races next fall However this
may be. there is no good reason why
Livingston should not furnish a weeks
racing and county fair on its own
hook, and 1t is quite likely that plans
will be formulated by the association
in this city with this end in view. II
rightly managed, there is no question
but that sufficient interest could be
awakened to insure a splendid exhibit
of the diversified resources and indus
tries of Park county next fall. The
Livingston track is one of the best and
fastest in the state, and there is no
reason why a week or ten days of
splendid racing could not be provided.
The following is the personnel of
the petit jury for the June term of the
district court, which will convene in
this city on the 18th prox.: p. H. Fish

Location notices have been pouring
into the county clerks Office from the
Natural Bridge district in unusually
large numbers the past few days, and
include mining claims. mill sites and
water rights. Antonio Drago, one of
the earliest locaters in the district.
came in from the Boulder to-day and
brought with him some fine looking
free-milling quartz that fairly glistens
with great flakes of the yellow metal.
The rock is from claim just staked
off about two miles northwest of the
Minnie mine, and the vein is a contin-
uation of the Minnie lead. Mr.. Drago
says that the prospectors are rushing
into the new gold field, and that the
district is being rapidly staked off into
claims. Nearly every business man in
Livingston has from one to a half doz-
en- claims in the new district.
The Livingston Cornet band is ar
ranging to give free open air concerts
in the city park during the summer
evenings. and a subscription is being
taken up among the business men for
the purpose OF providing the boys with
a band stand.
