close race in all the heats, which were
practically dual events between the
two speedy animals.

The owners of Wyndotte and DR..

races at Mandan, as the track was
rather soft and therefore the James
town Fair association arranged
several match races to take place

Several interesting events result
ed for The afternoons program
There was a match race between
"Frank So and "Wyndott," and
"Herman B'' against "Dr. Robert"

place came down for the races
both of which we're for purses.

! four local horses entered, and a mile
