Race Track Will Be Open to all
on Soldier Day.
MUCH CASH COMING IN
Soliciting Committees Are Meeting
With Encouragement--H Horses
Are Needed,

The impression that an admission fee
is to be charged those who go to the race
track during the day time on soldiers
day seems to be quite general. Chairman
anti of the executive committee de-
sires it distinctly understood that no fee
will be charged n that everyone will be
welcome to go to the rendezvous and
meet and greet their soldier friends. 1t
is expected that half Of Butte will be
there.
The soothing committees. in the ward
where any work has been done at all, are
meeting with much encouragement. P.
II. Manchester of the Seventh ward COM
mittee turned in $l47 to the general COM
mittee today, and said his committee had
not finished it's work. The Third ward
committee reported progress, with over
$500 subscribed and more in sight. The
report of the Fourth ward committee was
to the same effect. with 1925 promised.
In the First. Second, Fifth and Eighth
wards apparently no work has been done,
as no reports AVE been received by
the general committee. Judge Lindsay
called at the committee rooms today and
left his check for $25.
The executive committee deposited
with the local officials of the Oregon
Short Line $15, 900 this morning. This is
to cover the railroad fares of the troops
and does not include expense for SUBJ
s%istence, which will be attended to by
General Kessler. The troops will leave
San Francisco tonight and will stop one
night at Portland. and that city proposes
to give them a neighborly reception.
Thirty-two horses will be required to

this purpose. NJ. H. Harmon made a ten
der of s horses today. and George Mcleod
stated that he had several animals which
were at the disposal of the committee.
A handsome badge, In lieu Of a medal,
