Special to Times
Mason City. July 17.-Tbe fact that
40 entries have been made for the
the four days races to be pulled off
here this week. is the talk of the horse
men who have already arrived. This
is by far the largest entry ever exper-
fenced in the history Of the local
branch of the Cedar Valley Associa-
ton, and 1t exceeds the number often
found in some Of the other prominent
racing towns in the circuit. The quail
ity Of the work this year done on the
track, it is believed by all, will be far
superior to that of last year. Mason
City has one of the best tracks in
northern Iowa. popular among horse
men of the middle west and many
come here who go to none other of the
association events.
The local driving club association
planned only three days race meet.
but the number of entries so surprised
them that they made the announce
ment q few days ago, in time to make
1t official, that the time would be ex-
tended one day more. Thus. beginning

uance of events till Friday, with some
of the best horses appearing on the
