Finn, who will be manager of the
meeting and the representative or
Gleason in conducting the sport, says
that many of the official positions al
ready have been filled and the remain
ing officials will be chosen within
few days. but he would not announce
the names at this time. He will en-
deavor to induce Dick Dwyer to act as
starter throughout the meeting and
will make the popular barrier official
an offer that he, hardly will be able to
refuse.
The movement is popular in salt
Lake City, according to Finn, and the
business men are particularly pleased
that the final arrangements for holding
the meeting have been completed. Pre-
yious experience with race meetings
in that city and the excellent manner
in which the promoters conducted the
sport made good impressions upon the
general public and when the news was
given out that a meeting would be held
this spring it was well received.
1t is announced that purses OF $3.50
at least will be the daily offering, with
at least six races each day, while over
night handicaps of $500 and $500 values
will be frequent features of the forty
day season. Another important an
nouncement, and one which bodies well

horsemen and will furnish them with
all the information they desire regard

be shipped from Emeryville certainly
should make the number at least as
great as is desired. Quite a number of
horsemen yesterday expressed their

look like Salt Lake City will have In

the dense gloom of the thick boscage. From
one side stole the heavy summer fragrance OF
the unseen gardens, the confused perfume OF
many flowers. The stars shone sharply in the
softness of the sky. Across the wide porch Of
the mansion a white figure passed to and fro
restlessly, as if waiting. A slight sound down
the curving drive broke the stiffness. The
form stopped now, clearly revealed in the
light as girl in evening dress with wrap
loosely drawn about her.
A shadow detached itself from the other
shadows AS the girl ran down the steps a
man in the undreSS uniform of marine Sprang

in her hands. With low, inarticulate ex
clamation she sped back and into the hall,
where beneath the light she tore open the
