AFTER IT'S ALL OVER
But It lent All Over Yet by a
Good Deal.
NOW FOR GREAT FALLS
They Expect to Have a Warm Baby Of
a Meeting Up There and Most OF
the Horsemen and Horses
Are GoinR-Track Talk.

notwithstanding the fact that the
races I'm Butte and Anaconda are mat
ters Of history. there remains in the
minds of many men a desire to get
even" II is evident that some few pa
irons OF the turf lost money during the
past two months-in fact several Paris
mutuals are held to be considered OF no
value. and these little souvenirs remind
their holders that the day Of reckoning
has not yet come. but is surely not far
distant. with this alluring vision con-
stantly before their eyes many race-go-
ers will take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered in Great Falls to retrieve
their recent losses, and II is expected
that a good portion of the attendance
at the track in hat city will be repre-
sentative OF Butte and Anaconda. As
many Of the horses that ran on the
west side tracks will participate UP
north next week. IT will not be a DIM
cult task for the local contingent to hg-
ure out n line" on the racers, and most
of the horses are so well known by the
people from this city who Will attend
that all there is to be done is to buy
the tickets and leave the rest to the
contenders on the circle.
BY way Of Introduction the Great
Northern has promised an excursion 10
the Falls next Sunday, the train to
leave Butte at $3.50 in the morning,
reaching the Electric CITY at 2 In the
afternoon. This will give the visitors an
opportunity TO get acquainted with the
hotel keepers. lodging house proprie-
tors. lemonade vendors and the lay or
the land-especially that part stretch
ing out toward the race track. They
may go to the races Monday and Tues
day and start for home Tuesday night,
and the round trip rate is fixed at the
price of one Paris mutual. They may
either return Monday. A large num-
Der have already given II out that they
are going IN that trip, and many more
say they will stay till the last race is
run II they don't balance accounts be-
fore. If not, they propose TO &c TO Ham
ilton, where no man was ever known TO
lose. not even his appetite.
In connection with the races VIII be
held the Cascade county Farmers,
Miners and Mechanics fair, the dates
of which are the goth. 21st, 22nd and
23rd. Premiums Of the aggregate value
of $4,000 Will be given, and II is said

Secretary Lawrence OF the race asso-
citation came up from Anaconda yes
| terday To settle up some minor affairs
connected with his office preparatory TO
leaving for Great Falls. Mr.. Lawrence
will act I'm an official capacity at the
race meeting In the Northern metrop-

spend a few days with his family and
then proceed 10 New Orleans, where he

During Mr.. Lawrence's s%ojourn In
this city and Anaconda he has added
! considerably to his large list of friends.
His dealings with the horsemen and
other business men have proved him to
be a gentleman Of sterling qualities. He
has been the right man for the posi-
ton he held. He promised his friends
here to send them a bale or two OF
mint for the holidays from the banks
Of the Mississippi, where the delicious
weed grows In profusion..
Here is a piece of news for the min
| ers who play the races lin the twilight,
ira la" The Horscman tells its readers
how the miners delight to emerge from
the depths OF the shafts. slopes and
drifts after a hard days work and
make n bee line for the track and pla.
the last race on the programme: "Th
long twilight at Anaconda, Mont.
makes II possible to race until half pas
eight I'm the evening. n il lie light
enough at that time To distinguish the
horses all around the track. Many ot
the miners make a bee line for tbs
track at the close OF the days labor
and play the last races on the pro.
Cramme."
Last year the oregon State Fair asso.
citation failed to pay the horsemen wh'
owned winners at its meeting. Thu

another meeting. which brings forth
the following bit of sarcasm from {
contemporary in the Northwest: 1T
perhaps. Is a good thing that the man

ton have secured a band OF Indian
for an attraction this fall. for II tn
board treats them like they have tn.

said Indian will scalp every mother
son OF them."-Horseman.
