kind OF wind or weather Mary F. ran
pretty race in a sprint with Hereafter on
Thursday, and she, too, Is in light. Ethel
Day has the distinction Of having beaten
Booger Red twice and may do 1t again.
Another fast race that is featured for

fast horses, including Red Leaf and
Boggs are entered for this mile race,
which Is sure to be exciting. In the other

TURF NOTES.

The first weeks racing at the fair
grounds track showed that the ponies ran
remarkably well to form There were sew
ersi surprises and some Of these surprises
are being sought by some Of the big own
ers. Negotiations are now on for at least
three horses that have shown Up well,
and they may be sold in q day or two at
fancy prices.
Ed. O'Malley, who is the author Of The
Herald form chart, has one Of the most
trying duties at the track. Mr.. O'Maley
It is who follows each race with powerful
field glasses and gives to the public the
official position Of every horse at every
turn IN the track For years Mr.. O'Mal-
ley has been doing this same turn at every
race track in the country, and his charts
have never been questioned
Each day members Of the Turf & Field
club and ladies enjoy the races from the
veranda or the observation roof OF the
pretty clubhouse, which is one of the
many Improvements made at the fair
grounds by the Utah Jockey club.
Jockey George Archibald has left for
Vancouver in response to a message from
the presiding judge at that track fnvit-
ing him to go there to ride. This an
nouncement is believed by friends of the
clever youngster TO mean that the stew
ards Of the Pacific Jockey club Will
overrule the decision OF Judge Blum in
setting him down as the result of an out
burst Of temper in the midst Of a hard
ride at Ogden.

Some Of the best racing Of the present
meeting was seen yesterday, Ladies day
at the track. One of the features of the
racing was the fact that Grace G." the
only lady horse in the fourth race, the
Ladies' special" won IT was a fast
race, considering the fact that the track
was slow, and Grace G. ran an excellent
race. Hundreds of fair bettors played
Grace G. to the limit, and the books were
hit hard
More than one Thousand women brRved
the threatening weather, and attended the
races yesterday. II was the first Ladies'
day at the track. and was a big success
All the ladies were admitted free. On
each Friday duMng the meet the ladies
wifi be the guests of the Utah Jockey
club. Besides the ladies, there were
nearly 1900 men at yesterdays races.
Four out Of six races were won by IA
vorites yesterday. Had It not been for
Esther NJ s phenomenal run in the last
race the day would have been a bad one
on the books IN this race there was such
a heavy play on Toller that II partially
made up for what the books lost on the
other races.

Bonanza at Dry Buck

The Drv Buck country seems
destined to become a rich mining
camp. In addition to the valuable
deposits of melybinum, which are
being developed by the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Co., mention of which
was made in The Index some time
ago, there are gold deposits which
run high in values. According to
the Idaho City World. Sheriff H.
H. Hamilton has a bonanza at Dry
Buck, near the Squaw creek
country. He has ledge FIVE feet
four inches wide. Four inches of
the ledge averages $500 a ton IN
gold and five feet runs SO ton.
Mr.. Hamilton brought up samples
from the rich vein several days
ago. He has crew of men at
work running a tunnel.
