= After the failure to start Sunday.
my hackers and myself, realizing that
it would be impossible to run the race
under the rules laid down, offered to
run under any other conditions. We
submitted proposition to run against
time in Salt Lake, starting from cleo
tric plates. All these offers We're dc
elined by Mayer and his hackers, who
insisted upon the same conditions as
before, but were willing to run the
race either at Elko or Reno
We are satisfied that the race can
never be fairly run under the rules laid
down at Elko Sunday. and there the
matter stands While the bets on the
event have not been officially declared
off, it is very doubtful if the race
ever takes place -

ELKO FOOTRACE IS
DECLARED OFF

The sporting blood of Elko was
warmed up to the boiling pitch Sunday
over the proposed footrace between
Jimmy Stewart of Winnemucca and
Babe Mayer Of Elko. In speaking
Of the event yesterdays Independent
says:
"The promised footrace Sunday
afternoon between Mayer of Elko AMI
Stewart Of Winnemneca failed to ma
terialize.
"a big crowd gathered around the
track at 3 'clock and many of them
remained in the dust and heat until
nearly 7, but nary race did they see.
A half hour or more of this time was
taken up by the hackers of the racers
in agreeing upon rules, choosing 4
starter and other preliminaries. After
the usual squabbling an agreement was
reached on the rules and DIR West was
chosen as starter.
''The contestants appeared on the
track about 80 o'clock and the rules
were explained to them. They took
their places at the scratch and jockey
ed the rest of the afternoon, each try
ing to get the best of the other at the
start. This DR.. West would not per-
nit 1t is said that $4,000 was bet on
the race and this doubtless Influenced
the contestants, but failed to have any
influence on DIR. West.
After this race was called off purs,,
of so side was put up for race of
30 yards between Charles H. Keas AMI
Ralph Case, Winnemucca boys. There
was no jockeying in this race and It
was soon over. Keas winning by few

last Tuesday night for the special
benefit of the Woinans Missionary
Society OF East Mathews Circuit
who had appointed an entertain

evening to assist them in their
work. Mr.. Ira White very kindly
brought his graphaphone; cake
and ice cream was provided by
the ladies. From eighty to a hun
dred persons were In attendance
and all seemed to be in good
spirits. Everything moved in a
quiet and orderly manner, but
some thoughtless young men who
seem to be forgetful of the fact
that all ladies do not like tobacco
smoke, as they lighted their
cigarettes and seemed to enjoy
them. This was not done through
any disrespect, simply for the
want of thought, or may be for
the want of better training. The
graPhaphone introduced itself
with the Star Spangled Banner"
and gave number of pieces, some
humorous, some sentimental, and
after an intermission it COM

lowed a number of we'll chosen
pieces of sacred music, closing
with God Be With You Till We

evening ($Io.45) were as good as
could be expected. Just before it
closed it was publicly announced
that there would be a moving

ence of East Mathews Circuit will
