The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-07-05

of the Jordan Driving club, attracted
only a fair attendance of Fourth OF
July pleasure seekers.
At 2:45 o'clock the 2:35 pace was
called, but the races were carried out
exasperatingly slow, and it was $50 in
the evening when the pulling match
was finally put through, which ended
the programme.
The club put up some very good at
fractions, which were thoroughly en-
joyed by the crowd, but many left be-
! fore the end.
At a late hour in the afternoon oc-
CURED a disgraceful fight in front of
| the grandstand, between two men, one
of whom received blow over the eye
which leveled him to the ground. The
police made no arrest, since the man
who got the worst of it admitted him
self to blame.
