LET NINIEHAHA IRlGK N
GREAT WESTERN TR0TTING CIR
QUIT GIVES THE TWIN CITIES
TWO COURSES
MEETINGS IN BOTH CITIES
That Is the Plan Looked Up to
by the Promoters Of the
Present, Racing
Plan.

Next seasons meetings of the Great
Western Circuit Trottlng assoc1a tiou
give promise of being of more than usual
brilliancy, for many OF the speedy ones
last season were unable to make cred
table showing, especially those from the
Northwest, owing to the prevalence of
the pinkeye, which while In a mild form,
was sufficient to prevent the prospective
oat-earners from getting In fine racing
form. The meeting of the association,
which was held Wednesday. at the Sher-
man house, Chicago, streng gthened the
circuit materially by the addition of Min
nehaha park, Minneapolis, for this track
is looked up to with great favor by
modern norsemen and If properly man
aged will doubtless add to the btilliancy
of the Western circuit which nowadays
Is but little behind the grand circuit in
point of performances and speed pro-
gramme, although the aggregate amount
of purses Is smaller.
The race meetings scheduled for the
Western circuit next season are as fol-
lows: Davenport, Des Moines, To-; Gales
burg, Freeport, Joliet, ILL.,; Dubuque, To-;
Hamline, Minneapolis, Mimi. Milwaukee,
Wis: Springfield. Ill; indianapolis, Te.-
re Haute, Ind; st. Louis and Columbus,
Mo
This makes compact circuit with no
long jumps, and all are good horse
towns. Rochester, Mimi, which was in
cluded In the circuit last year, does not
appear upon the list. probably for the
reason that it defaulted In the payment
of purses, and while it has made an Of
fer of settlement to the American Trot-
ting association, It's indebtedness will
probably not be cleared up this year.
Peoria, which has magnificent Ieguia-
ton mile track and has hitherto held en-
inentIy successful meetings. with the ex-
ception of last year, when II declared off,
evidently does not feel adequate TO the
occasion, owing to the rivalry on the part
of the half-rnfIe track association, and in
its stead comes Pekin, which is the
home of many speedy rack turner's. The
noted Ga1esburg track takes the place

ing races in this state Under the super
vision of the Twin City Homing club
The schedule is as follows: Old birds,
st. James, 100 miles; Worthington, $50
miles; lie Mars, To-, 200 miles; Madison.
Neb.. SGO miles; Hastings. Neb., 100 miles;
McCook, Neb., 500 miles, and Akron
Col, 600 miles; young birds, 100. $50, 2oo
and 800 miles from the same stations
An old bird, for racing purposes, IS
generally one about year cid A young
bird is one about six months old After
the racing age-they live about twelve
years-they are used for breeding pur-
poses.
A racer always has registered band

'G 500" etc. When 1t is entered for a
flight another band is placed on the left
leg. by some ore other than the owner.

so that there can be no tampering with
them.
Mr.. Johnston, as we'll as some Of the
other members Of the local club, has
several good birds. ''A 10717." a black
cock. is full brother to the lO0-nile
champion of J. Lentz, Buffalo. 1t has
a record of 2,511.87 yards per minute. tx

ston, is a ''400-mile bird
j. H Barton, of Minneapolis, and a
member of the club, has ''600-mile
bird" and three ''5OO-miIe BIRDS
F. May, of Minneapolis, and a member
of the club, has two birds that are broth
ers of those In the illustrations.
At this season of the year, few of the
local birds are in training, because 1t will
be some time before the races come off
and 1t does not take long to prepare
a bird for race. A horning bird seems
to live on flying and never lacks for eX-
ercise in its wings When given its free
DOM
A fancier, faddist or enthusiast al
ways makes it a point to keep written
pedigree of all his birds. If he has a
good racer he knows about it's father
and mother, it's grandfather and grand
mother, it's great-grandfather and great
grandmother, etc. The fancier, If he be-
religiously bounden to the letter and to
the spirit of homing pigeon law. sticks
to his pedigrees with all the pertinacity
Of a 1ouse to a coyote.
The members of the local club will
make an attractive exhibit at the COM
ing winter show. Some 400 bird will be
shown to those interested, many of them
with records from 100 to GOO miles in a
day. The Twin City fanciers have Sc
cured all of these birds in the East and
