Plans for the races to be given on
the State Fair track Tuesday have
progressed so far and so satisfactorily
that there is now no doubt that the
meet will be a most successful one.
The decision to postpone the races
from yesterday, Memorial Day, was an
excellent one; the wisdom of 1t has
been seen in the many additional en-
tries in the various events, and Will
be seen more strongly later in the
large attendance that is anticipated.
That the promoters of the races have
reason to expect a large number of
spectators is the more natural as the
races not only promise to be fast, and
consequently exciting, but are abso-
lutely free to the public. The further
to insure a good attendance rate OF
5 cents each to and from all part OF
the city to the track has been secured
from the street car line.
The greater number of the horses
entered have been put through their
PAGES on the track several times dur
ing the past week and are in form
that promises fast time when they
start under the flag. Mr. James f.
Furlong. an experienced starter, Will
handle the flag. He has had large
experience in this work, so there will
be no bungling and everybody will
have a fair show. The entries, drivers
