horses in training at the track and
their Lewistown owners say they are
working out ~splendidly. Dan Crowley's
little bay PAGER, Eta V, is going like
the winds. She has no difficulty in
making the distance in 2:20 and her
driver states that he can send her
around under 2:15 without any trou-
BILE. She is a beautiful little mare
and perfectly gated. George b.. the
big bay PAGER also belonging to Crow
ley. is another n which Is going
along in good shape and will be a dam
gerous competitor in any event in
which he starts.
Tracy B.. Otto Phillips t%rotter, was
slightly lame last week but Is all
right again and going the distance in
splendid style. Otto is getting him
well track broken and expects to be
there when the purse is divided.
Geo. PARROT has his big roam COW
ering all sorts of track these days
and the horse is improving greatly.
He was allowed to run away two or
three times a few weeks ago and that
set him behind in his training, but he
is steadying down now and travels
without a break.
Ora Bennett is working out a PAGER
of his own and two green horses be-
longing TO S. S. Hobson. All are ne
gotiating the distance in impressive
manner and may be entered this year.
Teddy Smith has a green PAGER
which he may enter, though he has
not decided yet. The horse can GER
tainly go the distance very fast.
Daisy Dean and other runners about
town are being put in shape for the
races and some of the best running
ever seen on the track may be looked
for. The track vas never in such
fine shape and when fair opens will
be as fast as any n could wish.
T. B. Lease was this week given
the contract for building a new grand
stand and poultry house. The grand
stand is to be 20 feet longer and three
seats wider than the present one. Ii
will thus seat about twice as many
people and will be covered with a
single roof so that IL a shower comes
up no one need get wet. 1t Is to be
moved back several feet and will give
a better view of the track. The poul-
try exhibit house is designed to per-
nit of a larger and better display of
the poultry industry of Fergus coun-
ty. Other necessary improvements
are being made on the ground and
when the gates open on the 10th
everything will be perfectly arranged
for the comfort and pleasure OF the
visitors. Remember the date and ar
range your business so that you can
come in every day, IL possible, but one
for sure |
