ON THE RACE TRACK
There We're Two Days Of Good Rae
ing at the Driving Park Last
Week.
Rain Partially Spoiled Thursdays
Races and None Were Held on
Friday Afternoon.
There Were Some Very Close Events
Saturday Which Were Witnessed
by a Large Crowd.
THURSDAYS GOOD RACES
The Two Trotting and Pacing Events
We're Quite Well Contested
for Places.

The crowd at the races yesterday af.
ternoon was not what it should have
been taking into consideration the fact
that an effort had been made to secure
some good racing talent and give the
people an opportunity to see something
that was good. DR.. Dundass acted as
starter and he is to be commended for
the prompt manner in which he sent
the horses away. Several times they
got to playing at the start but the
drivers quit that when they were sent
off once or twice with their horses be-
hind the leaders. 1t is the most whole
some lesson administered to drivers
that we have seen on that track, and is
worthy of repetition whenever the
drivers get to acting that way.
The;three minute race was an easy
thing for Blue Range as he demon
strated in the 6rst heat when loafed
the first half mile and took the lead at
the quarter pole aud maintained it
under hot finish with D. G. Nc. The
second and third heats were very much
in the same order, the race going to
Blue Range, D. G. Mo. second, Bobby
third, LuVerne girl fourth.
In the two.twenty class Fleeta had
everything her own way and took the
race in three straight heats, her best
time being 2:25 25. General Otis,
owned by Johnston and Branson,
made splendid showing for the shor,
time he has been worked and the
owners are we'll pleased with the horse,
who was driven by Aiken. General
Otis took second place and in the second
heat pushed Fleeta pretty close to the
wire. Lacrosse, the Woonsocke,
horse, was third and fourth in two heats
and after that he was withdrawn from
the race.
In the pony race Icicle Dan had nc
trouble to win the race in two heats,
with Alright G. second and Tommy
third.
In the five furlong dash "The Knave'
won in canter. 1t was noticeable,
however, that the rider on Demand
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1900-08-31
had all he could do to hold the horse
back to keep from winning and could
easily have won had it been desirous,
The races were finished up at g..
o'clock.
A GOOD RACE MEETING.
The Races Which Came to a Close
Saturday Evening are Pro.
nounced Very Good.

People were pretty we'll satisfied
with the races of Saturday afternoon
and there was very large crowd out
to see them, some of the heats being so
close rs to arouse great deal of en-
thusiasm among the spectators.
1t took five heats to decide the $50
race and each one was fought out to
the finish. After the first two heats
there were but two horses left in the
race, the others having been distanced
or withdrawn and it was left for Effie
Stone and Marshall Star to fight it out.
They made game race of it and wore
80 evenly matched that break on the
part of either one meant the loss of q
heat. Effie Stone proved the steadier
of the two and DR.. Thomas's ssEffia
Stone" took the last two heats and the
race. The best time WAS 1882.
In the 2:25 race there was some good
pacing and trotting seen and it looked
at one time as if it would take seven or
eight heats tv finish the race. Howard
and Lew Sweigart were the two favor
ties and it was believed that the race
lay between them. 1. G. A. however
commenced to show something of the
speed that goes to win race and in
two heats came very near breaking up
the calculations of the crowd. He had
the second and third heats almost won
but for an unfortunate break on the
stretch that lost him the place. In the
last heat Eva Sunfower made a fine
break for the heat. She was away be-
hind at the quarter pole but her driver
got her awake at last and she went in
on the stretch at very fast gait. She
was at the throatlatch of the leader and
if the horses had gone ten feet further
the heat would have been won by her:
as it was she got second place in the
last heat and hec driver said that she
could have won out the race from that
on. Lew Sweigart took the last three
heats and the race, with Howard seq
ond, Eva Sunfiower third and and I, C.
A. fourth. Old Uncle Fraser WAS un-
able to give Gen. Thomas place in the
race. He said that he had driven the
horse but very little since last fall and
he was in no condition to make q race
in such fast company. 1t was one of the
best races of the meeting.
There were seven horses in the half
mile running race with some good GO
ers in the list Hatch's Allie Blue won
both heats. She is a nervous little
animal and it was feared she would
bolt the track, but her rider showed
that he knew his business and she at
tended strictly to her work. Alright
G. was second. A greater portion of
the horses left TODAY for Rock Valley
to take IN the races there this week.
While Mr.. Nichols expects to lose some
money on the venture of the races the
people have assured him that the races
we're entirely satisfactory and some fine
work was seen on the track.

MRS. MOSSELL PROTESTS
Against the Policy of the Philadelphia Lee
ture Course, and Sounds Note
of Warning

Mr.. Editor: Il want to say word in
your columns concerning the lecture
course on the American Negro now
being given in Philadelphia I have
heard three lectures. Mr., Glenn. of
Georgia; Rev Edgar Murphy, of Ala
bama, and Mr.. Blair, of North Caro-
lima, have spoken. I only claim to be a
woman Of average common sense, but
I have listened intently to all that has
been said, and taken part in the after
discussion; and if there is not being
an effort made inimical to our best
interests I do not know what else j.
being done, aud if Booker Washington
is not seemingly being used to bolster
up every argument against Us, 1 do not
understand PLAIN English.
These men want the 18th Amend
ment repealed, they want to be placed
in position to rule without the dis
grace Of shooting the Negro; they say
the Southern Negro has been made to
appear the martyrs, and they are the
real martyrs; that they have made the
Southern Negro understand the futility
of ever hoping for social or political
equality. Now, if our colored men
don't get united and stop using all
their energies in keeping somebody else
from getting political or ecclesiastical
position and look after the race inter
ests they will wake up some fine day
and witness the repeal Of the 18th
Amendment.
We have had the ballot and lost it
several times before In certain States.
Now We have it nationally; but the
South is unit to disfranchlse US and
the crusade is now begun in Philadel-
phia, the cradle Of liberty, to take it
away practically forever. These speak.
ers have drawn a picture Of their suf-
ferlng with an ignorant enfran chised
Negro population. and then asked if
you would have borne this. No We
have done thus and SO, and 80 would
you in our places, and the audience sat
silent and "silence gives consent"
Practically Ben Tillman's utterance
has been repeated. Now what is to be
done, will the men begin at once an
agitation against this suggestion?
