Douglas day has been decided upon by
the management of the Utah Jockey club
and Saturday has been set aside for that
purpose. Many social features and an
excellent card will be provided for the
occasion. One feature will be the off
GERS race-a dash of half a mile, the
officers to ride their own horses. The
fact that the officers are to ride in regu-
lation uniform will make it decidedly
spectacular affair in the way OF race.
Lieutenant Elliott, who was among the
visitors from the post yesterday, IS at
tending to the details and has obtained
the consent of Colonel Scott for the race
While this race will prove the drawing
card for the society element, with whom
the officers at the post are popular, the
feature event for the regulars VIII De
the Fort Douglas handicap, IN wnlch the
best horses at the track will appear. For
the officers race purse of $50 VIII be
offered.
Jockey Manders, who was suspended
indefinitely at the spring meeting, Was
seen at the track yesterday, but only for
a moment, as he was promptly elected
from the grounds Manders was sus-
pended for some rough work on Surety,
which also got Trainer Pete Smith in
trouble, and also for his ride in a two
year-Old race. Here he rOughed IL all
the way and struck Geneva, the con-
tender, over the head with his whip
When King Of Yolo ran second to Yuba
Friday there were some who thought that
It was sheer luck that he was so close up
at the finish. His run of yesterday goes to
show that the horse has lots of speed.
Luck did not figure in his last race, as
he got all the worst of the start and
was off trailing the field, only to round
to the front under hard driving.
Mark Moore, who booked the first seven
days of the meeting under the name OF
the Montana club left for Oklahoma
G mis- hainp Wi
ner he came up TO Saturday loser, and
as he had from the first planned to leave
that night he took a chance by knocking
down the faVOrites. AS five first choices,
disastrous and the Missouri bOOkmaker is
said to have dropped an additional Sl6W
on the afternoons play. His departure
caused a little furry among the remain
ing boozies. Some wanted to draw for
the Montana clubs position in the ring,
while others were unwilling to do 40.
The matter was settled when Jimmy
jackson of the Moore crew, Lew Phelan
and VIII Armstrong made up a bank
roll and took the stand.
E. Smiths ride on Agreement Saturday
was too weak to suit Trainer Crawford,
and for that reason Vandusen was sub
stituted on King of Yolo in the two-year-
old race. 1t was lucky for King of
YOlo's followers that Vandusen was up,
for with the same kind Of break 1t Is
hardly likely that the colt would have
landed in the money with Smith in the
saddle.
]. J. Moore having disposed of the
speedy twO-year-Old, The Eel, which he
sold to J. T. Strife & Co, has. decided
to quit the racing game and viii leave
for his home, Paris, Tex, within the
next few days. He will take up business
with his father. John A. Mallon, the fast
one which he has been training for Mrs.
Allen, the owner, will be shipped to the
kenilworth stock farm, California, along
with COppertOwn after the meeting.
Jim Norvell. one of the best known
cashiers in the country, who has been
looking after the financial end of the
John Troy book at the Montana tracks,
will leave for his home near Chicago this
evening. Big jim has bought some
property and will build a home upon his
arrival
On account of the inconsistency Of the
