OF the Central racing circuit the
paper says:
This circuit, like most everything
started in North Dakota, has not been
allowed to make a natural growth. 1t
has jumped and leaped in the matter
of it's development until it now has
nine prosperous towns and could have
had two more if racing dates could
have been arranged.
The success of the 1906 circuit was
so great that when the delegates
gathered at Darlington on Feb. rs,
1907 in pursuance to the call of the
secretary, it was found that it was
| Impossible. to accommodate all towns
with dates; therefore two towns had
to be left out. The new officers
elected at this meeting were George
Day, Valley City, president, and Fl.
n. Tucker, Courtenay, secretary.
The result of the meeting at Car
rington is that the circuit was re-
organized with the following towns:
Courtenay, June Is, 10 and 20; Car
rington, June %, 26 and 81; New
Rockford. July. 3, 4 and S; Valley City,
July 3, 10--aRdht1; Jamestown, July 16,
II and 10; Kensal, July %, "a and %;
Wimbledon July 80, 81 and Aug. 1;
Fessenden, Aug. 5, 6 and 4; Harvey,
| Aug. 8, g. and 10.
| The prevailing classes agreed upon
will be found in. detail in the an
| nouncement in our advertising col
umns.
The delegates present wanted to do
lsomething for the trotters, and they
thought the best thing to be done
would be to make 2:24 trot at five
Tor more towns. and hang up a purse
lof approximately $500 at each meet
ing, also do. the same for the 2:27
PAGERS. The conditions of these two
races are that the horsemen make
their nominations by May 10, and pay
| I per cent of the purse in each race
they wish to participate in, per
dent additional to be paid by June l,
when they are to name their horse
accompanied by the fee, 2 per cent
| in the race. No nominator is held
for any money except the amount he
pays.
At nearly all of the tracks there
, are trainers with a few horses with
records and numerous green colts.
