Inc horsemen were told that the local
men would only take hold of the affair
with the distinct understanding that every
race was to be for blood and that Calves
ton and Houston horsemen would act as
judges This was agreeable. MIR Open
hoimcr said no persons regretted the treat
ment the crowd got las, Sunday more than
the horsemon. II was not their fault the
programme was not run as advertised.
Mr. oppenheimer was then told that Gal
weston and Houston are not illiberal and
N'Nif 'ilpit Nuulu bt Illlt 10 Etf q good
number of persons to patroni1e the show
next Sunday.
You can assure the people" said the
horseman that they will get run for
the ir money. Every horse entered on that
programme will start. II the public only
krew the plight some OF us are In they
would heartily sympathize with us. 1t Is
rot our fault that we are placed in such Il
condition. We have fulfilled our engage
inents and If we could get a settlement we
would be able to ship away. There are few
horse owners In this section better known
as fair and upright men than Elmer
Slaughter and II. \. Skaggs. Few stables
| have made money this year. The horspme,i
/ feel the pressure of hard times more than
! almost any other class of people. Ordiua
rily such happening as this at Dickinson
would not be so severe. but just at this
! time 1t catches most of the owners
| strapped ! think We really deserve the
aid and sympathy of the people of Calves
/ ton and Houston. and assure you we VIII
| do all I'm our power to give them races next
Sunday as good as were ever seen in this
part OF the country"
visit win be made to Houston Friday
| or Saturday to work w interest there
! Tickets for the races are on sale at the
| principal hotels and cafes here, and there
is much sympathy for the horsemen.
