LANGDoN's RACE MEETING,

The two days race meeting. which will
be given in Langdon next June bv the
Driving and Agricultural association
bids fair TO eclipse anything of the kind
ever previously attempted in Cavalier
county. The event occurs June % "a
and the second day is double attrac-
ton as it will be observed as St. Jean
Baptiste Day. the day honored by our
citizens of French Canadian birth.
Langdon is now a member of the Ct
Northern Racing Circuit and opens the
season of a series of race meetings par.
ticipated in by the eight leading towns
of the state, extending from the last
week in June to the first week in August
The formation of the circuit enables its
members to draw entries from all parts
of the Northwest. In the past when
Langdon has gotten up celebration OF
this kind the racing events were filled
entirely by local horses and few from
Morden, Man.. yet even then the races
proved big success and with the ability
now to attract horses from the Twin
Cities. as we'll as Grand Forks, Fargo
and Winnipeg there is bigger chance
than ever of lover of horse racing get
ting the worth of his money.
President L. S. Champine. who this
year has assumed the management of
the local association promises that the
Langdon track shall be the best in the
state, stabling: wells and a barn will be
added to the present accommodations
and additional arrangements made for
the convenience of spectators, both on
the grand stand and behind the railing.
