The indications now are that the race

figured that it would be opportune if a
meeting could be held just after the
Kansas City, Wichita and Holton races
and that the good horses would come
! here they were not mistaken.
George Burghart and R. T. Kreipe
who have been in Kansas CITY, found
that the horsemen will willingly come
to Topeka next week. They say they are
assured at least seventy five horses and
every race will fill.
An effort is being made to secure Joe
Patchen for Thursday and letter has
been written his owner, John G. Taylor,
at St Louis, Mo, making a very hatter-
ing offer. If Patchea is secured he will
pace an exhibition mile. His campaign
has been completed and it was Intended
that he should be sent home, but the Of
fer OF the Topeka association may give
the lovers of good horsein Topeka the
opportunity of seeing the Kansas horse
which has startled the country by his
remarkable performances.
Probably the most interesting race
will be the 2:22 pace. The following
we'll known horses have already been
entered in the race and there are more to
come: smoky, 2:214; Judge Woolsey,
2:211 "a; r. H., 2:24; McAnder, 2:214;

1t is thought that Miss Anna Wilson,
with her PAGER, Ding, and trotter Valen-
ella will also be here. They may, how
ever, go to Texas.
The managers of the races are elated
over the prospects, and say that the peo-

It has been decided to allow others
