BIG RACES
COMING.
Thanksgiving Day andD Follow
ing will be Gala Day to Peo-
pie of Cody.
$3.50 In P u r S
Track Is Already in Condition,
And Several of the Horses Arc
in Town Being Put in
Condition.

Big preparations are in vogue pre-
paratory to the racing carnival which
will take place in Cody on Thanksgiv-
ing and the day following. Elaborate
posters are out advertising the big days
and it is expected that II large crowd
will be in attendance. $50, has been
appropriated for purse races to be run
on the first of December. The course
is already laid out and in good shape.
1t is located just north OF town upon
the level stretch of ground and is 4
straight-way seven hundred yards in
length.
One feature of the races is the ladies'
race. Some dissatisfaction has been
shown in regard 10 the horses the la
dies were to have so it was at last de-
cided hat they were to be allowed to
secure the best animals they could find
and with this in view an intensly in
teresting ace is anticipated.
The mule race will be another inter
estiug feature which is always looked
forward to in any carnival of this kiLd
with much interest. In this race an
invitation is extended to everybody
who happens to W spch 7p-.a2lpsalto
bring it in and enter the race. Proper
%percaution is assured every n who
enters such a fleet footed q%uadruped
of the Equus genus, that plenty of room
will be given and that the fatality
caused by the riders misguidance of
the reigns, will not be made responsible
to the owners or better still even the
riders themselves. So don't be back
ward about making an entry, for every
thing goes.
Mr.. Sheets and Mr.. Buckmeister, both
veteran horsemen will enter steeds for
the match race upon which it is
thought $1,000 in side bets is vested.
Other private individuals of Cody will
also enter the purse races which come
on December first. No effort will be
spared to make these days pleasant and
ones which will be long remembered
in Cody.
