LIVELY SERIES OF RACES.
Events at Business Mems Driving
Club Track Yesterday.

The Business Mems Driving Clubs Sec
ond matinee Of the season was held yester-
day afternoon at the park and proved an
interesting event There were four races
and an exhibition half mile, all of which
events were full of the true sport of the
track. The horses, with the exception of
one event, were well classed. Two or three
hundred people witnessed the races Here
tof0re the club has not charged any ad-
mission fee, entrance to the park and grand
stand being made free to all. A number
of people who have thus accepted the hos
pitality OF the club suggested to members
that a small fee ought to be charged and
1t Is probable that this will be done in the
future The expenses of giving the mat
inees and keeping the track in condition
are considerable. If fee is charged it will
be only 10 cents. Next Friday afternoon
Sterling r. Holt will drive Emma Wilkes

horse has a record of 2:13I2 and Mr.. Holt

 "Dear Correspondent: Take loi of small stiff cards, about lx2 inches; write on them: Please keep your darned ol' hens at home.' Tie short string to each card, with grain Of corn at the other end of the string, and scatter them where the hens con gregate.

She should Be Admitted Into the
 United States, < A careful reading of the newspa pers of Arizona discloses that the develop. ment of the rich and vari-d resources of the big Territory is proceeding in a most gratifying manner despite the many drawbacks that have existed to development everywhere during the past seven years.
 Perhaps this development is mos, prominent in the mining industry. which is taking great strides forward this year. Arlzona is very rich In gold, silver and copper and it needs only brains and the magic touch of capital to place her in the front rank among the producers of these important met als. A large amounr of prospecting is being done and the resnlts seem to be entirely satisfactory to the prospectors. if one may judge from the published interviews.
 The cattle industry, too. which has been picking up somewhat all over the country during the past year or two. is no small factor in the industry and prosperity of Arizona. and will add considerably to the roundup of the years profits.
 A new railroad to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado will surely he built very soon. if indeed 1t is not completed this year. This will add greatly to the attractions of the Territory, and will draw many visitors who perhaps now labor under the mistaken impres. sion that Arizona is m almost track. less desert.
