One of the most spirited assem-
blages ever seen on a race track on a
blue Monday in Montana was that
which yesterday expressed opinions on
the running qualities of horses in the
betting ring. Money talked fast and
earnestly and a large amount of coin
changed hands. Every race called out
a large contingent of mo~neyholders
and choices were made and backed at
a surprisingly fast rate. Two exclusive
favorites, two strong second choices
and two shorts took the money. and
breath away from the spectators. Some
of the finishes raised the hair from the
grand stand to the threatening clouds
and when Lorena III. finished before a
field of heavily-backed ones the clouds
wept while a very small portion OF the
attendance screamed with unadulter-
ated. sizzling. bubbling joy. The last
race turned out disastrously for the tai
ent and sent them homeward with
deep signs of unmistakable anguish.
The day was a mixture of good, bad
and Indifferent luck and narrowing
tales of woe were heard about town
ldSI evening. Al IL Sdiht liAits II
short enders crowed with delight and
bought candy and went to the German
picnic at Turner hall and told their
friends and everybody else how easy IL
was to be wise-when you know how.
There's consolation for the losers in
the fact that, while yesterday was one
day, there are others, and to-day is
one of them. The card for this after
noon offers inducements which make
the heart glad. There are horses on
which the players can get even on their
whole vacilating careers in the betting
arena. The play arose yesterday as
follows:
Five and One-HaIf FurIongs-Sa1Iie Good
win.
The first event of the day went ac-
cording to the judgment of Sallie Good

against SO for Flora Hawk, $40 Lady
Ashley and s. field. After five false
breaks the party left with an even
show all round. Midas led off, but
that's all it ever did on the run. Flora
Hawk took the lead before the first
turn and kept it to the stretch, while
Sallie Goodwin went second at a win
ming pace, Lady Ashley going third with
the same energy. The exchange of po-
sitions down the path was rapid and
Sallie left it's field and won easily a
couple of lengths before Lady Ashley,
Trappean third. two lengths back and
only a neck better than Midas. Time,

the choice of still another set at $50, and
the game went merrily on with spirit,
many pools being made. 1t was a quick
