If lover of fast horse racing do not
get their fill in Decorah next week,
it will only be because they do not
attend the big race meet or because
the weather will be too inclement to
call out the horses, for they are here,
from north, east, south and west, the
fastest field that has ever been seen in
this section Of the country, and the
present indications are that the June
Race Meet of the Cedar Valley Circuit
at Decorah next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, will see all former
track records beaten and some racing

Boston, Providence, Hartford, and
even to Lexington, KY and Memphis,
Tenn. in the fall. There are two other
horses here that were sent south to
Memphis, Tenn, last fall and win
