GOOD RACING.
One Event Cut Out by the storm at Black
Eagle Falls.

Easie ralls.
Great Falls, July 30.-The races at
the Black Eagle park this afternoon
attracted but small crowd but few
of the people knowing that there were
to be races. They were very good,
however, although the rain and cleo
trical storm cut off one event. r. j.
Fitzgerald, James Jewell and j. A. Col
Inns acted as judges; j. q. g. Thomp-
son, time keeper
The first event was a pole race be-
tween Swans Dugan and Dandy as
one team and ReicheFs Tommy V. and
Ringwald's Harry r. for the other,
half-mile heats, best two in three, for
a purse of S25. Joseph Bryant drove
the Arst team and Ringwald drove his
own. The first heat went to Ring
wald and the next two to Bryant. Time
1929, 1880, 1880.
The second race was for green horses,
mile heats. best two in three. The
horses were McFall's Minnie McDan-
iels, Daisy and Barnard's Bob. The
first two were driven by their owners,
while Ringwald drove Bob. Minnie Nc
Daniels took the first two heats with
Bob second each time. Time 2:57. The
black mare could have done much bet
ter than this, probably better than 2:50,
but her driver let her practically walk
down the home stretch.
The third and last event of the after
noon was a pony race, in which Harry
Furnel, Robert Brown and Raymond
Kelly entered. The boys made the half
mile in 1:06, Brown winning, with Kel-
ly only head behind.
While the time on it's face was not
particularly good, the horsemen say
that considering the track and its con-
dition the horses made a very good
showing and demonstrated that there
are some speedy horses in town, even
if Great Falls has never been much OF
a race point.
