he on "Hospital Day.
Arrangements are now complete for
the "Hospital Day" celebration on
Monday, August 26. The various COM
mittees have been working incessantly
to get everything in shape for the
numerous interesting events of the
day and it may now be said that every
thing is in "apple pie order"
No pains or expense will be spared
to make the day memorable one in
the history of Hot Springs. The city
will he prepared to entertain the
largest crowd of the season and to
show visitors good time. Railroads
will give half rates good August "a, 25
and 26. returning August2I. a program
of unusual interest has been prepared
but the most important event OF the
day and the one that will attract hum
dreds of visitors from other Hills
towns will be the contest for the $3.50
purse i'm the hub and hub race in which
Rapid City and Lead teams will COM
pete. 1t is we'll known that that there
is much feeling between these teams
since the Rapid City team was barred
out of the races at Peadwood during
the carnival and this contest will be
for blood as we'll as for the handsome
purse of $3.50 which has been hung up
A prominent resident of Rapid in
speaking about the matter Monday
said: ssOui boys are in prime con-
dition and ere eager for the contest.
They are coming down determined to
win. and" he added with significant
wink "they will have plenty of money
to stake on the result"
The Lead Call says: "Nothing has
transpired in tiremens circles in the
Hills in many years that has awakened
the amount of interest as has the pro
posed race between Lead and Rapid
hose teams at Hot Springs on the Goth
tmust not be supposed that the Rapid
boys think they are going to lose, as
they have team that is not slow in
any sense of the word and the Lead
team will realize it when they come
against the Rapidites. At any rate
each team has its hackers and a gooe
amount of filthy lucre will doubtless
be put up on the side in case race is
arranged. Lead thinks she has gooe
team and is willing to pay for her mis-
take in case her judgment is wrong.
Both teams are among the fastest il
the United States, and this fact, to
gether with the strong spirit of rivalr,
existing between them, will make
race worth going hundreds of miles t
see. 1t will, truly, be time ''whe
