uTUDGING from the way the entries

y viii have one Of the greatest
horse meetings in the history Of the
state"
These were the words used by Sec
rotary s. W. Sears OF the d. A. & NJ
society last evening. Yesterday was the
date set for the closing OF the entries
for the horse races during fair week,
but az a late hour last evening they
We're still coming In. and word was
received by wire that several more had
been sent by mali.
From Indications last nigLt all the
events viii be nlled, and with the best
horses IN the state. The local horse
men were busy all day yesterday urg-
ing horse-Owners to enter, and succeed
ed Ia sending several entries to Secre-
tary Sears that had not been counted
upon. In some way the word got out
that Salt Lake horsemen were not In
+ teresting themselves IN this meeting,
but nothing could be farther from the
truth. They have been working as a
man 20 help the fair people out, and
are pulled of.
Yesterday Secretary Runyon OF the
ogden Horsemen's association tele-
ph0ned down 20 Tom Mccoy OF this
city, asking him TO try and get some
Salt Lake horses to enter the Ogden
races the coming week Mccoy teie-
phoned back that he would personally
agree 10 see that Salt Lake horses en-
tered the Ogden races, II Runyon would
agree 20 get some OF the speedy horses
located IN the Junction City 10 come
down 10 the state fair. This was agreed
upon, and In all probability the entries
VIII be received today.
While the Agricultural park track is
not yet IN as good condition as II is
hoped 10 get tt. yet the steady work
going on there every day Is making q
wonderful Improvement in the course.
one trouble has been the lack OF water
at the command OF the men preparing
the track. and the rain of yesterday
helped them out greatly In that line.
The track VIII be given a GOOD harrow
ing this morning and rolled Ia order 20
have IL IN shape for the horsemen TO
train on today. A number OF horses
win be tried out this afternoon e
Agricultural park, while many viii also
DC WptkcA out at Adiucf 3.
Last night entries foi the Boise City
races We're forwarded from here, and II
Is really surprising 10 see how many
Salt Lake horses viii take part Ia the
Boise races. The list OF entries sent
north yesterday includes the following
well known horses: Sarah Green, Julia
4, Munroe $, Jupiter. Kangaroo. Amer
lean Fleet, Altoka. Fleet. Mary II.
Chester and Dexter. Speaking of the
horses sent 20 Boise last evening. one
OF the wen known horsemen said:
I'VE Will either clean up that town
OF Boise In the coming races or go
broke. The people have the impression
that Salt Lake Is not horse town, but
when that many animals can be
shipped from this city TO a town as
Tar away as Boise. Il looks as II there
were a few OF Us here who are inter-
ested In the SPORT
However there is one good thing
about the trip 10 Boise. and that is
the people up there agree TO pay the
expenses Of all the horses back home
whs enter the races. II this was not
the case, some OF this city's most prom
inent hOrsemen might be found walking
home after the meeting.
