TWO EVENTS THAT
DRAW BIG CROWDS
LAST Thursday Our Driving Park was
Thrown Open to the Public for
First Time md Some Good Races
sare Pulled on.

&
On account ofthe excessively high
water here on the F Fourth it was inn
possible to have the sports scheduled
for that day and as the horse owners
tl.at eame here from Assistance want
ed to get away It was decided to pull
Off the horse races last Thursday.
The day was fine and as the adver-
tising had been we'll looked after
there was a large crowd present, both
from the neiahboring towns and ad-
jacent country. The races were call
ed promptly at l:3o pm. by starter
P. H. skonzen, Of Hallock and the
days sport was opened by the two
forty race. In this race the entries
were Star ana Black, OF Argyle,
and Dickey Boy OF Grand Forks,
The race was between the two first
named horses as Dickey Boy madea
poor third each heat. Star won the
nrst two heats, but Black seemed to
have gotten next to himself in the
third and took three straights. Both
horses we're in pretty good form and
caused considerable excitement bv
their close work. The track was in a
heavy condition and the time was
pretty slow. +
Between the heats OF the two forty.
race was worked in the gentlemen
driving race. There was consider
|abfe dickering in getting this event
started onaccount ofmisunderstand-
ings. Originally there were four en-
tries, but F. W. Woodward pulled
out on account OF some of the other
horses not being driven by their own
ers, and Mr.. Wallace's mare was ruled
out because she had been in previous
races. This cut the entries down to
two, A. Grindeland and John Cheney
former winning two straight heats,
and taking the race.
What was intended TO be the event
OF the day was the free for all race.
Several horses with fast records had
been entered and money had been
staked to large amount and the
crowd was all expectancy when the
starter called the horses to the
track. The entries when the gong
rang had simmered down to three.
Dandy Boy owned by F. W. Wood
ward, Dan Sutton owned by John
Strausser and Robt Ellsmere owned
by John Killen OF Grand Forks. The
first named was favorite with even
bets on the other two for second. On
the first heat the horses scored ap
nicely and got away very prettily and
made as pretty a race as one could de-
sire to witness all three coming under
the wire in a bunch With Robt Ellsmere
in the lead with Dan Sutton next,
crowded closely by Dandy Boy. The
next heat was not so satisfactory.
The start was bad, the horses scoring
in the neighborhood OF ten times
before they got away. They came un-
der the wire in the same order as in
the first but not in such pretty bunch
Dandy Boy being considerable in the
rear. Dandy Boy claimed this heat
on foul and when it was not allow
ed by the judges he pulled out OF the
race. The next heat was between the
other two horses and was won after
a pretty race by Robt Ellsmere
TUESDAYS RACE.
This race was an out come OF the
Thursday matinee, and was between
Dandy Boy and Dan Sutton. Mr..
Keenan, who drove Dandy Boy in the
Thursday race claimed that he was
not given fair show by the other
drivers and offered to bet money his
horse could beat either of his compet-
itors in a two handed game. His
money was covered by the managers
OF Dan Sutton and the race was not
set for Tuesday. Quite a crowd was
