THREE DAYS FINE RACING.
Best Racing Ever Seen in DEBORAH in the
Cedar Valley Racing Circuit Meet
Last Week

The largest and fastest field of
horses ever seen in northeastern Iowa
assembled on the fair grounds last
week, to participate in the annual
meet of the DEBORAH Driving Club,
under the auspices of the Cedar
Valley Racing Circuit, and the very
best and fastest races ever seen in De-
corah, breaking the track records and
doing all kinds of remarkable stunts,
furnished amusement to about one
fifth the number that ought to have
been present. At this busy time of
the year it is difficult matter to get
large crowds to attend. Tuesday and
Friday the crowds were very small
and on Wednesday there was only a
fair sized crowd.
The events were all pulled off S
advertised, and the races were all
closely contested. We have not the
space to mention each one separately,
but never has there been witnessed
such fine racing in northeastern Iowa.
The meet was succ ess in every way
except the attendance. One disappOint-
ment to the crowd on Wednesday was
the fact that Echo Jr., was taken sick
Wednesday morning and could not
enter the :05 pace, so the crowd had
to be content with his appearance on
the track, led by his driver.
