i IS WELL UNDER WAY
Race Meeting Running in Good
Shape Since Flagfall.
A PERFECT START
Indications of the Most Brilliant Carnival
OF Sport Ever -Inaugurated in Mon
tana-Keen Interest Manifested
and Success Is Assured.

-
There is good reason TO believe that
the coming week at the race track will
be as successful as that which opened
the meeting. 1t is justly said that the
first three days have been better than
any corresponding number which
marked the openings of previous meets
in Montana. The people seem to enter
into the popular game full of spirit and
animation and a determination to make
the best of a really good thing. The
attendance during the initial half week
warrants the prediction that this meet
ing is going to be more successful from
every point of view than has been an
ticipated. For to-day the card is:
First race, selling, five and a half fur
longs-Lady Ashley. 90; Trappean, los;

The card for to-day is much stronger
than the customary Monday pro-
gramme. There's a mile and a six
teenth that's going to be interesting.
Racing from wire to wire is what the
~grandstand likes, and the spectators
will be given an opportunity to witness
many starts at close range during this
meeting.

After a thorough investigation of the
facts connected with the case. the
judges have agreed that the poor show
ing made by Rapido at Butte on Aug.
3 was due to no fault of it's owner. The
investigation was started after Rapido
on Aug. 5 won so easily from All Smoke
and Encino after being so easily de-
feated by Cod and Encino two days
before. In consequence of the examina-
tion by the judges Mr.. Capps' entries
will hereafter be accepted, but his jock
ey, Ruiz, is suspended.
Jockey Jim Bozeman, suspended
nearly two years ago has been rein
stated by the jockey club which he Of
Tended, and will probably ride in Cal
ifornia next winter. He is at present
in San Francisco.
1t is o settled that the two celeb
rifles, Hamburg and Ornament, will
not meet on Aug. 10 at Saratoga or at
any other track, at least not in the near
future, says an exchange. Marcus DAILY,
owner of Hamburg, has returned to
Montana, and before leaving he left or
ders with Agent w. L. Powers that his
colt was not to be entered in any match
races. The Ornament people lodged
the issue in the Brighton cup, and if
the pair meet ii will be in some of the
fall stakes in which both are Engaged
Arthur Bowers, the New York Trib-.
une's racing critic. seems to be of the
opinion that Hamburg can beat any
horse of any age at any distance from
a quarter of a mile to two and a quar-
ter miles.
The Corrigan-Brenock imbroglio is
getting interesting. Brenock accuses
Gorrigan of appropriating $50. 900 to his
own use that belonged to the Chicago
Racing association, and wants a re-
ceiver appointed. and now Corrigan
comes to the front and declares: There
was exactly $71 900 i'm the expenditure
and this was sanctioned by Mr.. Bren-
eek, who paid out nearly one-half of
