that the association would be enab-
led to liauidate past obligations. plac-
Ing it upon a fairly good financial
footing.
The committee on insurance. which
had previously been delegated to look
into the fire regulations of the city
and particularly the question as to
the extent of the fire limits; that is.
the boundary line for the construction
and maintenance of frame buildings,
stated that they had carefully
considered the matter and had
made thorough examination of
fire regulations In the city and that
their Investigations prompted them to
recommend that the fire limits Of the
city be extended to Adams avenue on
the east; Twenty-seventh street on
the south; Twenty-first street on the
north and Weber river on the west.
This meaning that no frame building
should be constructed within that linn
IL, except that it In some way be made
fire proof by the use Of corrugated
iron or other material of fire proof
nature. The recommendations were
adopted. The secretary will advise
the city council of the action Of the
Chamber Of Commerce.
The good roads committee recon-
mended that the city fathers expert
ment in the use Of oil on the streets,
having in mind the idea that oil Is
perhaps cheaper than water when 1t
comes to settling the dust question.
The committee suggested that the
city council get hold of enough oil to
saturate Grant avenue between Twen-
ty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets as an
experiment and that If the experiment
proved successful that the city dads
proceed Immediately to buy oil for
the entire sprinkling district. The
recommendations were adopted and
the secretary will send the thought
to the city council for consideration.
II was unanimously decided that
Twenty-ninth street should be open

the secretary was instructed to so
advise the city council at its next
meeting.

(Henry Forsland)

The first extended meeting for run
ners exclusively ever attempted in
Ogden began here yesterday under
brilliant auspices. Messrs Murray
and Slower. the projectors of the en-
terprise. were warmly congratulated
on the splendid success which had
rewarded their praiseworthy efforts to
establish thoroughbred sport. Their
pleasant and cosy little race course
was filed TO overflowing when the
bugle called the big field Of infant
racers to the post.
Today's gathering was a representa-
tive one. some of the best people of
Ogden and Salt Lake, as we'll as the
adjacent towns gracing the occasion.
There was n big contingent of turf
celebrities, and fresh arrivals from
California, Texas and the eastern
states were present. Society was well
represented with seventeen boxes pro-
vided for their exclusive use, which
proved wholly inadequate TO accommo-
date them.
In the racing Itself 1t was apparent
that the interest and delight of the
spectators Increased as the afternoon
progressed. the climax being reached
with the running Of the Falstaff hand
leap, won by Booger Red, over quin-
tet Of fleet opponents, including Ethel
Day, Mary +, Fordello, Husky and
Bonfils. The victory OF the famous
pony express was clean cut and de-
cisive and the cheering OF the multi
tude could be heard a mile away. The
race needs little description as the
royalty bred winner drew out into
commanding position In the first half
dozen strides and remained its domi-
nant factor to the end. Ethel Day
finished a close up second after game
but unavalling end-challenge, Mary F,
the nearest and most strenuous pur
suer OF the leader, firing badly In the
final sixteenth.
From a spectacular viewpoint. the
big handicap, as well as every other of
the five races were glorious successes
in the longer races chiefly because the
horses were required to pass the
grand stand two times in order to ne
gotiate their respective distances.
Starter Murray's work at the bar
rier proved revelation to the visitors.
Betting was good and form players
held their own. Without doubt tho
best hQrses were successful in every
race anna better days sport than that
at Ogden yesterday could not be dup
Heated In any part of the country.
A complete list of the norsemen pres
ent would contain many names promi-
nent at one time or another on the
English, French. German and Ameri-
can turf and even in Japan The jock
ey contingent as well embraced many
riders Of note. probably the best ag-
gregation OF horsemen that has ever
invaded Utah. Archibald Sandy, Bo-
rel, Kirscbbaum and Balm, are the
most prominent In addition there
were number OF apprentice riders OF
great prominence. Bevan, who rode

1t was but for the unfortunate cutting
down OF Husky, who was jumped upon
by another horse and nearly ham,

occurred Just when Mr. Dayton's noble
little horse was making his usual SEN

There was nothing but praise for
the manner in which Secretary Nc
Quaide performed his arduous duties.
The multiplicity of affairs under his
immediate charge would have stag
gered an ordinary man Everything
about the race course and Its manage
ment was conducted with smoothness
and despatch.
STAFF correspondents representing

try reported yesterdays races at the
track.

may be summed up as follows: The

speculation was particularly confined
to Eel. Goodship and Silver Grain.
The remaining eight starters were ig-
nored. Goodship, which on public
form seemed an outstanding choice,
steadily receded In the betting, while
Eel was red hot favorite The run
ming confirmed Goodship's supremacy,
who at the lucrative odds OF three to
one, prevailed over the favorlte in an
interesting struggle. The start was
perfect. in twinkling the race be-
came procession with the two prefer
red ones out in front by themselves.
The time. SO As seconds, was con-
sidered remarkably fast.
The second race at half mile was
captured by Sevenfull at the prohibl-
tive odds of one to three. 1t was
onesided affair throughout, The sec

Gated they would.
A big and unruly field faced Mr.
Murray in the third race at five fur.
longs. On a regulation mile track
spectators would have thought 1t was
over Suburban handicap distance. II
they called their imagination into play.
AS matter of fact, there was just as
much spectacle and incident In the
race OF yesterday at five furlongs
as over the longer route. There was
long delay at the post owing to the
unruly actions of Platoon and James E.
Wilson. Mr.. Murray electrified the
spectators when he got down and per-
sonally aligned the field. After a re-
markable exhibition Of skill and nerve
a perfect start was finally effected.
The lightly weighted Sir Barry, who
was well served by the long wait at
the post. singled out quickly and won
all the way at the lons price of IL to l.
OF the hot tips, Toller. Platoon and
Velma c., Toller was the only one that
ran into place
The feature OF the day, the Falstaff
handicap, has already been referred to.
The start for this race was also one
OF Mr.. Murray's best efforts.
The decision of the fifth race found
Work and Play well backed to 1
chance, coming in an easy victor over
seven others. The distance was seven
furlongs. which meant that the field
passed the grand stand twice In
races of this character over a half mile
course interest was much more sustain

more satisfactory to the majority of
visitors.

day occurred In the closing number in

RACE NOTES

The opening of the race meet in
Ogden yesterday was a decided sue
cess. Fully 1900 people witnessed the
races and came away feeling satisfied
with the program. 1t was surely the
greatest beginning of a big racing
event the city ever saw. The track
was in fine condition, but the atmos-
phere was little cool and the wind
was little too strong for the COM
fort of the ladies who sat in the
grand stand.
