THE MATCH RACE.
Midget Beats Mabel B. by Length.
A Square Contest.

The crowd that gathered at the race
track Saturday afternoon was not so
large as that of two weeks before, but
those who remained away missed one of
the prettiest two horse races ever con-
tested in Kalispell. 1t was fair, honest
race, the best horse won, and not kick
was heard when the result was an
nounced. More races conducted as this
one was will without doubt result in
the forming of some organization where
by Kalispell may enjoy regular annual
race meeting of four or five days dura
ton. 1t would prove to be immensely
popular and could be made a paying in
vestment for an association from the
very start.
The quarter mile match race between
the two horses, Midget, owned by Char
ley Allard, and Mabel b. owned by Mr..
Dove, was for $500 side, and to this
purse Charley Allard bet $500 on the
side with Dove against Mabel b.. the
winner to take down all the money and
Mabel B. Quite bunch of money was
placed by the friends of both owners, as
the horses were considered to be pretty
evenly matched, having run on the same
track and distance to a dead heat two
weeks before. The friends of the Allard
horse were giving odds to the Mabel b,
people, however, in order to get their
money placed.
The riders weighed in at 122 pounds
each. Dingley, who arrived the pre-
vious night from San Francisco, had the
mount on Midget and Gadow on Ma
bel b.
The start was beautiful, not four
inches separating the two as they passed
the starters line. For the first two hun
bred yards the horses ran neck and
neck, but Dingley always had the race
SAFE and taking the shortest way around
the turns, won easily by length, with
Midget we'll in hand, and looking over
his shoulder at Mabel B., whose rider
was using his bat vigorously but without
effect, for his mount had been carried
too fast and was done for. No time was
taken.
The business like way in which the
Judges conducted the race deserves spe
cial mention. The riders gave an exhi
bition of square riding, not a suspicion OF
foul tactics being resorted to, and the
result settled the question of which is
the better horse beyond any doubt.
Mr.. Dove has the option of taking
back Mabel B. in a months time fol
$3.50 plus her expenses for that time
4 Both winners and losers by the race will
be glad if he can arrange to retain her
as she is sweet little animal, and be
cause Dove proved himself good Loser
when the race was over.
There is some talk of a match race be
tween Machette, owned by Allard, and ;
sprinter owned on the Blackfeet reserva
ton, in the near future. The purse
talked of is to be worth $1,000 to the win
ner, and in case it is arranged, Dingley
who left Sunday night for San Fran
cisco, has agreed to return and ride fo1
Allard.
i W.P. Dingley, or Billy" as he is bet
ter known, has more friends than an.
rider from the Rocky mountains to thu
Pacific coast and added to the humble
while in Kalispell. He is considered on
of the squarest riders in the west ant
can always be depended upon to get on
all the speed horse has in him.

THE END.
HOW A CLAIM PAID.
An Alaska Miner Tells of One Way
of Getting Money without
PanninE 1t Out.

II here are more ways of making
money off of a claim than panning it
out" sad an Alaska miner who had
some luck with his pick and shovel.
For Instance, / knew d man of means
in the Dawson district who had a claim
which had failed to be as profitable
as expected, and he didn't know tust
what to do with it to- get, his money
back, until he had devoted consider
able thought to ii. And it was simple
enough when he knew how. lie quiet
ly went to the gold commissioner and
announced that he wished to pay his
ten per cent. royalty on the product
of his claim for a year, which was $6O,-
600. The commissioner accepted the
$4,000 royalty and gave him the
usual receipt, stating on its face what
it was for, with the number of the
claim, location, etc. Then he waited
patiently about like Mary's little lamb,
and one day, in the course of human
events, an Englishman came along
looking for a good thing for some peo-
pie who had money to spend. He asked
Mr.. Blank, among other things, what
he had TO sell, and the smooth gent
told him he didn't know exactly, but
he would show him his goods. They
looked over several claims that were
practically unworked, and then in
casual way Mr.. Blank showed the Eng
lishman his receipt for royalty on claim
so and so. And, you know he said,
with a wink, that man isn't paying
ROYALTY on any more than he can DOSSi-
bly, help
The Englishman was right on to
that little game, of course, and he
sized up the $4,000 receipt, looked over
the claim in a general way and ended
by buying it for $3.50, 900. ."-Washing
