viii be seen In the arena These local en-
tries are Of great interest 70 the spectators
and the directors viii make Il worth while
for all TO enter. The Philadelphia show
opens the season next week and the stables
Of the two vanderbits. c. w. Watson, the
two brothers Moore. w. ], Hartman, Mrs.
Gerken and Mrs. Ladew have already en-
tered. This tends to show that all the big
stables will be In the field and will probably
not pass up a good a circuit as the western
s 10 be this year Much good can be &C
complished at this meeting by cooperation
on many things. systematic cataloging
OF classes. properly disposed. explicit rul-
nEs on freight and other concessions, clear
dates, the cost Of advertising, the whole
crcuited prorated and many other things
can be accomplished at this meeting. Here
tofore each city has worked for itself with
out any assistance of any other, but with
good circuit formed there Is no reason
why all should not work tremendously to-
gether to the advantage OF all concerned
Fish Commissioner O'Brien is carrying
out his promise to see that Cut OF lake
is we'll stocked provided the people OF
Omaha and Douglas county did their share
in protecting the hsh after they are once
put in. The Omaha Rod and Gun club was
organised and Deputy Commissioner Pier
son placed az the lake to look after all
poachers. Several convictions have been
secured and these misCreants are becoming
| to realize that Omaha means business and
that the FISH are to be protected. With
| this done nothing stands In the way OF
Omaha having right at her door As good
a fishing spot as any neighborhood could
wish. A car Of $1,000 pike fry were placed
in the lake wednesday with the promise
of bass at a later date. Fishing has been
excellent this spring. Many good strings
OF crappies have been caught and some
good sized bass landed.
Although the wind has been terrific for
the last two weeks, making golfing almost
a work house job. more players have been
out than at any other season at this time
! Of the year The club directors credit this
early interest in the game TO the Trans
| mississippi golf tournament which Is
scheduled for the Field club for June 90, %
Interest all over the west in this tourna-
ment is on the increase and the secretary
Is daily receiving inquiries as to the con-
ditlons of play and other information which
Is gladly furnished. In spite Of the high
winds some good scores have been turned
in at both the Field and Country clubs.
The new feature at the Country club OF
making the handicap events open to all
is proving popular especially with the
young people who have been barred here
tofore.
