round of the stables this morning,
finds the stable boys busy with the
horses, nearly every horse entered
having had its workout early this
morning.
The track is almost gilt-edged. and
plenty of work has been put on it to-
day. If the weather man holds his
temper the time today will be fast,
but it is not generally expected that
the track or state record will go as it
would require drive out in the fast
race to do this and owners will prob
ably not key their animals up to
2:11A. but reserve them for the rest
of the campaign which is just to be-
gin in the east and south. The record
is in no danger from other than the
match race entries, Baby Kid, Milo and
Red King.
Driver Taken Ill.
w. J. Smith. driver of Little Boy,
was taken ill last evening and Ken
yon or Parker will be up behind him
this afternoon. Acute indigestion is
given as Smiths trouble and fair
ground provender, though generally
admitted palatable and SAFE" seems
to have gone against him.
Della Downey worked out this morn
ing and is acting better but still of.
She is not thought right to win her
event this afternoon, but she will en-
ter. .A
Delta Claire will be taken home for
much needed rest after the races
close today. She is not entered for
the races today This mare seems to
have bright future. She started first
one week ago today at Fargo and took
the state race there, the 4O-class, and
second in the state event here. Her
driver. M. Splan, who was criticized
for not driving her out in Tuesdays
race, seems to have no intentions of
any monkey work other than eXer-
cising caution with green and valu-
able mare. 1t was expected that the
mare would finish second in her race
Tuesday, and Splan stated to the
Evening Times representative that he
drove her as he did in order to avoid
an injury from Overwork. She Is not
considered fit for campaigning and her
work, all things considered, puts her
we'll up in the ranks of class horses at
the tracks this year.
Red King and Mark Onword, the
Winnipeg horses, will go from here
to Decatur, ILL.,. where they enter upon
a campaign with fast company. They
are being reserved for these races and
are not keyed up to the II mark just
at present.
The runners will scatter to the races
in the northwestern circuit, most of
them at least.
Erma's Choice, injured In Wednes-
DAYS race, was entered in some fast
events in the east and south and her
injury is disappointment to her own
ers.
Mr.. Patten will give his horse,
Little Boy, rest at Larimore for a
time and has not decided upon his
future, but may campaign him this
fall. This is good horse and has
made a showing here which has add
ed many friends to his present list.
A Fine Roadster.
One of the animals which has at
tracted much admiration at the
grounds is the handsome black road
ster owned by Louis Deichert of this
city. The horse was driven by Mrs.
Deichert and in white-trimmed har-
ness, attached to neat runabout,
made a fine appearance. He is we'll
gated. toppy and fine animal.
A Nursery Display.
The Grand Forks Nursery company
has an exhibit which is interesting to
the people of the northwest. 1t con-
sists of trees, shrubs and large dis
play of preserved fruit grown on the
grounds of the concern. While the
display would not attract attention
along side of one from California it
would certainly convince anyone that
some of the delights of the cultivated
forest can be had in this state.
Brandt's Display.
F. ]. Brandt, the east side hardware
man, is showing his large stock of
heaters, ranges, refrigerators and
kitchen cabinets to splendid advan-
tage.
Plumbing Supplies.
The display of the Grand Forks
Plumbing and Heating company is
fine one and represents every feature
of their large business.
-Builders' Supplies.
The only lumber and builders sup
plies exhibited are those of the st.
Hilaire Lumber company. which has
complete line of its several classes
on exhibition.
Canada's showing.
The exhibit OF western Canada made
by C. Piling, government immigration
| agent of our northern sister in this
! city, shows to the best possible ad-
vantage the products and possibilities
