Stores Will Close.
Practically all of the business houses
of the city will close at noon tomorrow
for the finals, and the banks VIII close
at noon, to give everyone an oppor-
tunitv of attending the gents. 1t Is
the desire of those in charge of the
meet that the attendance tomorrow
afternoon reach the 10000 mark, and
the Commercial club trustees are bend
ing every effort to make that posi-
bility.
Weather Observer Grover this morn
ing was unkind enough to give fore
cast for rain tonight and Friday, but
if is likely that his calculations have
again gone wrong. The trustees OF
the Commercial club, who are behlnd
the event, yesterday visited Ankeny
field in response to an invitation from
Professor w A. BrattOn, of Whitman
college. and their report is as follows:
To the Public: On invitation of
10
directors of the Commercial CLUB
drove up to Ankeny field yesterday
afternoon at o'clock to inspect the
grounds and see for ourselves that
everything necessary has been done
for the handling of the great crowds
which will be present this afternoon
and tomorrow.
We find that sufficient accommoda-
lions for seating 1000 people have been
provided; the seats are all clean ana
the approaches are to be covered with
sawdust. The track is in splendid con-
dition and was being thoroughly wet
down preparatory to marking out
while we were there. The hurdles
and all appliances are in position, so
that the events can be brought on
promptly and without dragging. we
feel assured that every race will occur
promptly on schedule.
While We were there the track was
covered with squads of the young
athletes out trying their muscles and
getting used to the grounds. The sight
was inspiring. We are proud to be
behind this meet. We feel that 1t Is
going to be of great benefit to all OF
the young men who participate in it.,
and we are fully confident that every
person who can should take this op-
portunity to encourage clean sport
and to enjoy the sight of these splen-
did athletes striving for victory.
THE DIRECTORS OF THE COM
MEPCIAL CLUB.
