Secretary Lawrence Of the Montana
Jockey Club Says Prospects for
Brilliant Meet Were Never Better
His Success in the Coast Cities-Con-
dition of the Track-Other Matters.

AS was exclusively stated in the Inter
Mountain Friday. the prospects for an
emnently successful spring race meet
are more than good Manager and Sec
rotary r.. d. Laurence, of the Montana
Jockey club, returned late yesterday aft
ernoon from the coast with the most en-
cOuraging news. AS was previously
stated, he has secured over 500 entries
for the coming meet and expects to
book more.
All yesterday evening and this morn
ing Mr.. Laurence and his assistant, Bob
Curran, were busy going over entry
blanks ana answering an accumulation
of mail. Mr.. Laurence had been away
from Butte for some time and there was
lots to attend to. He spent some time
in San Francisco and Salt Lake. From
the latter and other Utah cities he listed
between IS and 100 trotters and run
ners. He says several more are prom
lsed from that and other sections. and
ne is now of the opinion that if all that
are promised put in an appearance, it
will be necessary to build more stalls
at the track here. Mr.. Laurence is en-
thusastic over the prospects for q bril-
liant meeting.
Mr.. Laurence confirmed the report
published in the Inter Mountain Fri
be allowed in the betting ring of the
Butte track. He said the methods en-
ployed at eastern tracks where women
are barred fro mthe betting ring will be
IN vogue here. 1t is intended to fur
n1sh the women with corps of trust
worthy messengers who will cary their
bets to the betting ring.
Mr.. Laurence stated that there was
little work to be done at the track be-
fore it will be in first class shape. He
also stated that Fred Mulholland. who
was an assistant judge here three years
ago, will be one of the judges at the
coming meeting.
