would lead, and tnen the Albuquerque
man would forge to the front Neck
and neck they raced the last four laps,
and then, just before the finish line
was reached, Copper, putting on tre-
mendous speed, slowly forged TO the
front and won the race by the narrow
margin OF three feet. The race was
for a purse of S25. The new rink is
receiving much patronage, the new

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF INTERESTING ADDRESS
DELIVERED BY DR.. J. N, WILSON
The Convention Adjourned to Meet Again Friday Morning
to Complete a Permanent
Organization

ways be found on the firing line"
DR.. Wilson spoke of many other
points of vital interest TO wool grow
ers, and impressed upon the conven-
tion the necessity of selecting a man
for secretary who would have time to
devote to their interests.
I'm an organization of this kind"
he said, the president is not the
man who does the work but the sec
retary. He it is who is your eyes
and mouth He looks after your
wants, tells you of what is going on
of interest to you, protects your in
terests and is fighting and working
for your best interests at all times
For this position you want a man
who can devote the greater part of
his time to looking after your inter-
ests You can't take a man like Har
ry Kelly, whose interests are so great
that he can not devote his time to the
organization, for such a position, but
you must select a man who can hold
his own anywhere, who has the time
to devote TO your organization, who is
brilliant, quick to think and act and
who is a fighter. This kind of a man
you will of necessity have to pay a
good salary, but he will be worth ev-
cry cent you can give him"
Dr. Wilson's address was chuck
full of interest and commanded the
closest attention from thr delegates
After he had finished, Hon. L. S. Cos
ney, president of the Wool Growers
association of Arizona. was introduc
ed and made an address. Despite the
fact that it was 1890 o'clock before
DR.. Wilson finished his address, and
that many of the delegates thoughts
were turning on the "inner man" and
| things to eat, Mr.. Gosney had nc
more than started speaking until al
| thoughts of eating had fled and the
convention as a whole was sitting In
rapt attention, listening to Mr.. Cos
neys address.
ITNhe Evening Citizen will publish
Mr.. Gosney's address, in full, in to
morrow's issue.
The convention at the close of Mr.
! Gosney's address, adjourned until Fri
day morning at 40 o'clock, at whicl
time they will re-convene for the pur
pose of completing a permanent or
ganization, electing officers for tn,
first year, and completing all unfin
is..ed business.

The second days session of the
first annual convention of the sheep
and wool growers of New Mexico
convened this morning at 10 o'clock
in the Elks opera house with nearly
every delegate in the city in his seat.
After the temporary chairman, Mr..
Abbott, had called the meeting to or
der, the chair appointed two secretar-
les to secure the names of all dele
gates present who were liable to leave
before the convention had adjourned
so that they could be made bona -fide
members when the organization was
perfected.
The committee on rules and order
of business, which had met earlier in
the morning at the Commercial club
rooms, then made their report to the
convention.
They suggested the adoption of the
rules of the Thirty-fourth legislative
assembly of New Mexico, and on the
order of business suggested that the
convention adopt the program as
printed. Their report was adopted
Governor l.. B. Prince then moved
that resolutions appropriate to the
occasion be passed before the dele
gates adjourned, but before stating
the nature of the resolutions gave
way to Chairman Abbott, who stated
that DR.. j. M. Wilson, vice president
of the National Association of Wool
Growers, was present and would ad-
dress the convention.
Dr. Wilson was introduced and
made an address full of interest TO
the sheep men.
He favored strongly the organizing
of the wool men. This is a day OF
organization" he said. Men in all
walks of life, from the bankers, the
big steel trusts and other prominent
trusts, down to the dishwashers, are
organized. The cattlemen are or
ganized, and heretofore the sheer
men have played the part of the tail
to their kite, and in so doing have not
always got the best of it.

tion of sheep and wool growers. Ohio
