day Every morning the track is full
of horses being shaped up FOR the
matinee on that day. They work out
separately and in punches, some go
ing slow and some fast, according TO
the Judgment OF their trainers as TO
what is required. and at the same
time dozens of others are being 1ogSed
the reverse way of the track, so from
s O'Clock in the morning until noon the
ring presents a most animated plcture'
while with the road wagons and tWo-
seated carriages drawn up along the
fence and a crowd of horse lovers
among them a number of women, sit
ting in the grandstand near the WIRE
it looks almost like race day.
All the arrangements for banner
matinee have been completed, and, as
will be seen by the program, a most
exciting days sport is assured no
liduor will be allowed on the grounds
and no disorderly conduct VIII be per-
mitted. so that women may feel per-
feetiv confident they will be as free
from annoyance as if sitting in a the-
ater. This will be the case at all
matinees, for a sufficient number OF
police will be engaged to preserve goou
order.
The University cars take their pas
sengers directly TO the track gate NOT
a hundred yards from the entrance 10
the grandstand; and the Washington
street cars transfer on Hooper avenue
to the University line. su1lclent
number of cars will be in service atter
the races to avoid uncomfortaple
crowding and delay in returning
The program will be rushed through
without unnecessary delay between the
events SO the spectators can get nome
at an early hour for their thanksgiving
THE eraphies that the horses will
contend for can be seen in the WINDOWS
of Donovan & Seamans jewelry store
at the corner of Third and Spring
streets. and they surely make an Inn
nosing display. Any one of them is
well worth winning and the owner VIII
have something that he can point 10
with pride on his sideboard as ne tells
how he pulled the race out or the hfe
in the last 100 yards or the deelalhs
heat. "a
The entries came in promptly ana
the speed committee-Jal<e Levy, VIII
liam Garland and L. e. McLelland-

horses most carefully and especially
penalizing the horses in the handicap,
not on past performances but OF lhelr
nresent condition and speed. The re-
suit will be seen in the program ana
everyone ought to be satisfled,
The 2:12 pace should result IN one Oh
the closest and most exciting races
ever seen at the park and II VIII pc
