Meeting in Its History.
THE CITY Is EQUAL TO 1T
Excitement Runs High and Speculation
Is Brisk Attendance on the In
crease During the Past Week.
Interesting Events.

Butte is in the midst of the best race
meeting ever held in the northwest, and
n patrons of the turf are thoroughly
warmed up to the occasion. Last weeks
attendance at the track was large and
the betting very spirited. The weather
as a rule has been good, as weather
generally goes during July race meet
ings in this state. and only an OCCASION
al furry of dust broke in to temporar-
lily mar the pleasure. While it hailed
hens eggs in Anaconda Friday and
rained torrents near Gregson Springs
Thursday, a very light sprinkle laid
the dust at the track on those days.
Next weeks programme promises as
much sport as was enjoyed last week.

The race meeting which was to have
been given at Rockford. ILL.,, for four
days, commencing July %, has been de-
clared off, the manager being unable to
secure the pool and other privileges
necessary to make ii a success. He had
received PAS entries.
There is a vigorous move being made
by the governing body of the English
turf to do away with so many five and
six furlong races. The claim is made
that it Injuries breeding to cultivate so
many spTInterS.
SO far this season there have been
paid into the treasury of the Turf con-
gress some $4,000 as fees for trainers
and jockeys licenses. 1t costs s25 for
the former and $40 for the latter. A
Cincinnati paper wants to know what
becomes of all this money.
New York Journal: According to the
gossip of the race course among own
ers and trainers, John Hyland will sever
his connection with August Belmont's
stable this fall, and next season will
probably handle the fiat racers owned
by w. c. Whitney that run in the name
and colors of Sydney Paget. This ru-
NOR, for so far as can be learned il
to nothing more, will probably
prove correct. Mr.. Paget's stable is
assuming great size and Importance.
and while the present trainer, Hogan.
has done well with the string. he has
not been burdened with the charge of
the particular star, Jean Beraud, who
has stayed in Ed Feake's care. 1t is
likely that the jumpers may be left
with Hogan. while Hyland may take
the Others. At any rate Mr.. Paget could
not secure a better trainer thar n.y.
