PLANNING FOR RACES
GOOD CARD ARRANGED FOR NEXT
 CLUB MEET.
Birmingham Horses Will Come to Montgomery and Go on Track at Riverside August 26th
 Some Gossip.

1 Everybody is busy at Riverside get | ting in shape for the next reception
 to be given the Birmingham horses A warm reception will meet Presi- dent Jones and his friends when they reach Montgomery on August 26th, for the card prepared for that day Is just about as redhot proposition as can be found in matinee racing Of the five events on the card every one of them | Is filled to the brim with uncertainty. The piece de resistance" of course will be the free for all pace between the peerless mare, Miss Willimont, and MT. Fisk having already announced that the daughter of Allmont would | start. and MT. Lassiter stating that he would send the son of Strathmore to Montgomery. This race will attract at- tention all over the State, Miss Willi- mont having paced a mile in Macon just before she was shipped to Montgom- cry in 2:09. and Strathmeathe having at about the same figures
 A race about as interesting as the others will be 8 four-cornered pace
 between Jenks. Dolly Brown, Johnnie other day Johnnie beat Roan J. and Ben Butterworth in straight half mile
 heats, the first half in 1:15--when MT. Cook had the spill behind the Burleigh Johnnie Is ringer. Nobody knows anything about him or how fast he can go. but in the next Riverside race he will certainly have to show some of that much heralded speed. And he will | have to go to the half better than 1909 at that.
 Jenks beat Hal Allmont in Birming- ham in 1:09 1-2 and 1:0S, but a travel l ing man who saw the race says that almost the entire route in the last heat the gray son of Hal Woodward was running. most of the time cutting in | front of Mir Woods. while the Allmont nD
 the way. and but for the interference would have won easily. Then. again, | Hal Allmont was pulling q borrowed cart. He always goes in an extra Ions Sulky and just before the Birminghar1
 meeting MT. Woods bought a long Me Murray sulky Ben Butterworth was hooked to this sulky when the crash came that smashed both wheels. Of course 1t was put out of business" for
 that day. and another sulky had to be used. This goes to show that Jenks | will not have the easy time down hero
 that he, had in Birmingham Then this | is a mile track and the pace down that | stretch to the wire will be fierce | As to Dolly Brown, it is known that | she has stepped a mile in 2:12, but
 whether she can do the trick at Riv- | however, as if the Brown Hal mare is | the horse somebody will have to beat to win. Elected, the Reelection geld ing, won his two straight heats in hol-
 
 Marcus Daly, the Satinwood horse be- ing drawn after the first heat. in 1:15
 and 1:2o. Gilbert c. finished second in both heats behind Annie D. in 115 and 1:11, Riverside finishing third in that race, while Roan Jay finished sec ond to Johnnie in 1:15 and l:09 If the blind Ben Buttcrworth is on his good behavior on the 26th, that 2:25 trot and pace should be quite q horse race.
 Allie Lampkin finished second in both heats of her race with Dr. SteagalIs < gelding in 1:lj and 1:20. so George McGregor. Stella J. and Governor will have to step some in the 2:40 trot The last race will present a field en- tirely new to Montgomery race-goers. but if the three horses counts for any | thing 1t should be 2 pretty fight. Dwarf McGregOr, with the blood in his veins that gave the mighty Crescius his speed, Baron Phallas. MT Elmore's handsome Orkney stallion and Orkney Boy, a half brother to Baron Phallns belonging to M. C. Scott, are the ent ries.
