I'm Providence Last Evening.
Last evening in Providence there was a
meeting of those interested in whippet
racing. 1t was decided to organize club
to be known as the Rhode Island Whippet
Club. Officers were elected as follows
President-Edward Hunt of Central Falls !;
Vice President-T. Burrows of Thornton !;
Treasurer = j. Bray; Secretary : Fred
Hughes.
The choice of handicappers was left until
next meeting. The first race will be called
on Christmas Day, but the track has not
been decided upon. The next meeting at
which many more fanciers are expected to
join, will be with President Hunt on Dex-
ter street, Central Falls, next Monday.
Already there are IS members enrolled.
Over 30 dogs are owned in this State at
present, and several enthusiasts are now
importing extensively. In the spring club
rooms will be selected.
