Their Marks Today.
Overcoats and mittens were at prem
ium at Rigby yesterday. The cold wind
chilled the ardor of the horsemen and
kept the attendance at the park down to
a few hundred. The track came out Ut
it's soaking of Tuesday in much better
condition than was anticipated, but WAS
still little too heavy and soggy for
much speed. In the face of the cold
wind and under unfayorable conditions
some 90 cd time was made, however and
while none of the races were of great in
terest, yet they were ali well contested
ami worth seeing.
Mr.. Cnlbertson of Chicago, who has
before officiated at Rigby, acted as start
er yesterday, and his work was up to its
usual excellent mark.
The match race between Frank Agan
and Robert j. was declared off owing to
the cold and unfavorablo conditions,
but both of the fast ones were out on
the track during the afternoon and were
worked out mile or two each before
the admiring crowd. If today should
prove pleasant and suitable Robert j.

ords AMI under favorable conditions will
give Rigby mark she will be proud of.
