None of the race meets in this
circuit met expenses. Notwithstanding
the entries we're large and the purses
liberal enough to bring out a fine
class of horses. Horse racing has lost
its charm except for a certain class
whose Unborn love for a horse is too
strong TO be driven out by any other
form Of popular amusement. Society
now takes to the s'bang tails'' almost
exclusively, and about the only places
where you will see the enormous
crowds which once thronged the race
tracks at the trottlng meets is at
Washington park, Chicago, Derby day,
or on some Of the far eastern tracks
when a running meet is being held.
South Dakotans-like all westerners
love a horse naturallY-Yet they will
turn out three times the crowd to see
a bang-up base ball game-and enjoy
1t the more. This is largely because
they have a strong local interest in
one or the other Of the opposing mines,
while, at horse races, the animals and
owners both are strangers and before
sufficient interest IS awakened, the
contest is over and the horses gone.
