SPLENDID RACING CARD
Large Purses Have Been Hung Up for
Speed Contests.

1t is conceded by the horsemen that
grounds is one of the best and fastest
in the North Pacific circuit. This fact
was demonstrated at the first meet
ing last fall, when several coast rec
ords were lowered. With the vast
amount of work that has been put on
the track during the past summer
there is every reason to believe that
many of the records will go down sew
eral seconds this fall. This year the as
sociation has put up larger purses than
ever for the many racing events which,
coupled with the reputation estab-
lished by the association at the meet
ings last fall and spring, for square
dealing, has been an inducement to at
tract hOrsemen from all over the cOun-
try. Many horses have come from Cal

fruit trees. but to the northerner the
most novel is that of individual tent
coverings for them.
Many of the tents are similar in
shape to those used for military pur-
poses and large enough to hold a doz-
en- soldiers comfortably. Where they
are made entirely of canvas they are
attached to wooden pole driven into
the ground and firmly bedded.
From the top of the pole extends a
cross-piece which supports the top Of.
the canvas when the tent is in use.
Below the .crosspiece is fastened
wooden hoop large enough to COM
pletely encircle the tree. When there
is no danger of a frost. the canvas is
folded against the supporting post and
tied so loosely that it can be unfas-
tened by a mere pull of the hand.
When the engineer of the railroad
train passing through the orange coun-
try of Florida blows a prolonged blast
with the whistle of the locomotive you
can see men. women and children
fastening toward the orange groves as
the people in country town run to
put out fire.
The whistle is a signal to them that
a cold wave is coming, and unless they
take steps to fight it, few hours may
mean the loss of a years work and
perhaps ruin This is why everybody
who can help, from grandfather
down to the youngster OF 10, starts for
the orange orchard.
The canvas fastenings are united,
over the top by jerk of the cord at
tached. Then the ends of the canvas
are fastened securely. Only one per-
son is required 10 cover a single tree,
unless it is unusually large. The work
of drawing the tent requires only
few seconds, but where there are 5000
or 1000 trees in grove, time is indeed
precious. Only a few hours may
elapse before a frost comes. and it is
often necessary to work far into the
night with the aid of lanterns.-Balti'
