JUNE RUNNING MEET
REPRESENTATIVES, OF WESTERN
CITIES WILL MEET HERE JAN. 2.
Mr.. Tnggnrt and Mr.. Beau
champ Confer.

1t is probable thai indianapolis will have
a running race meeting next June. A move
ment hooking toward this character of
amusement Is being talked Of by the In
dianapolis Driving Club. The matter will
be definitely settled at q meeting OF the
representatives OF various Western cities.
to be held in this city, Jan. z. The call is
sued yesterday for this meeting was the
result OF a conference held Wednesday at
the Grand Hotel between President Tag
CART. of the Indianapolis Driving Club. and
President Beauchamp, OF the Vigo County
Agricultural Society.
at the recent annual meeting Of the vigo
county society it was decided to give a run
ming meeting at Terre Haute mex year in
stead OF the usual trotting meeting. and to
hold the enning meeting early In the sea-
son. This was deemed the better policy.
since there had arisen more or less friction
over the fact that the Vigo Trotting Asso-
citation and the fair association were each
trying to have successful trotting meetings
but a few weeks apart. President Beau
chanp then entered into a correspondence
with gentlemen in a number OF cities where
Ii was thought successful running races
could be held. The conference Wednesday
between Messrs. Taggart and Beauchamp
was of a formal character. One OF the
plans is 10 have the circuit open at Evans
vile the last ten days IN May, ny Wnicn ar
rangement IL is thought many horses COM
ing up from the South can be obtained.
Terre Haute would follow with the first
ten days in June, which would include the
week of the national convention of the
Travellers Protective Association. Indian
apolis would come next. The other cities
along the circuit would probably be Fort
Wayne, Dayton, Columbus, Saginaw. Grand
Rapids and Detroit. These cities are not
assured members OF the circuit, but II Is
believed they will all favor. the plan.
President Taggart, of the indianapolis
Driving Club, had this to say last night:
The members of the driving club all look
time has come when the people want a
change in this kind OF amusement, and
would accept running races. Understand,
however, that this new deal is not to inter-
fere with the usual trotting meeting which
we will give in the fall, doubtless during
the month OF September. There Is no doubt
in my mind about the people taking hold
of Il. All we need Is 10 give horsemen as
surance that there will be a sufficient num-
Der OF cities interested to pay them for
making the circuit, and 1t viii be a go.
With a large circuit like that proposed, we
can engage the attention of the best run
ners in the country and bring them here.
Nothing Of this kind has ever been at
tempted in Indianapolis, and II must GER
tainly prove an attractive novelty. Ihere
are no definite plans so. Tar. MT. Beau
champ and myself are enthusiastic, and We
think the men who come here In January
will take hold of IL, although we can't tell.
Most OF the cities heard from have shown
considerable interest in the movement"
