There will be no meeting this year
at Hope, N. D., at least not under the
auspices of the Steele County Driv-
ing Park association This is the
statement given out by Secretary A. j.
King. There was some very good
racing at Hope last year, particular
ly the race in which Sylviaone de-
feated American Boy and stepped
fourth heat in 2:15%. 1t is to be hoped
that some arrangement may yet be
made for a meeting at this point this
season.

track will be put in such shape that
it will be second to none in the cir
cult. New Rockford is a member of
