tBy J. ]. 81

The Fargo State Fair association
have decided to make no charge for
stall room for those who wish to bring
their horses to this point 60 race
This will be a great accommodation in
view Of the fact that the stables are
very oommodious, on the fair grounds
and the track is admittedly one OF the
fastest half-mile rings in the north
west.
There Ia every indication that the
Fargo race-track viii be a busy scene
as soon as it is possible for horsemen
to begin 70 exercise their horses on it.
The outlook for the racing game in the
northwest was never better than this
year.
1t is more than probable that an
arrangement viii be enterede into be-
tween the Great Northern circuit man
agement and the Montana circuit
whereby dates will not conflict and
those horsemen who wish to race all
along the line can begin. with the
meeting at Fargo and go clear through
to the coast. This would mean short
ships and good money.
1t requires only casual glance at
the racing horizon to note that the gem
eral tendency of interest in the harness
horse is growing very rapidly in the
northwest. 1t was but a few years
since this changing condition began
to be noticeable. Today the best rae
ing outside the Grand circuit is in
this section. As evidence of this fact
it may be truthfully said that the race
meeting at Fargo last year was by far
a better meeting-larger fields and
closer contests-than Hamline. And
there were scores of other meetings in
this state, Montana and Manitoba
equally as good. The Great Northwest
is bound to be the Mecca Of the lover
OF. the harness horse.
Who was 1t sprung that story about
Billy Doyle going 70 retire from the
racing gamer Someone must have
been dreaming So far from retiring
his horses. Daniel Webster and Little
joel. he has added two more to his
string and will race four instead of
retiring a difference. His latest
acquisitions are Robert p, 2:12 IA and
Bonnie Dare, a very spe sdy mare with
out a mark The horses were shipped
to Mr.. Doyle last week and are now in
his stables Robert p is by Symboleer,
and is one of the speediest side-wheel-
ers that ever faced starting Judge in
the northwest. P~nn!e is by Dare Dew
IL the famous producer of speed, and
was able to show miles In 2:17 last sea-
son.
Report has it that j. II. Smith. of
Fargo, has his eye sot'' on good one
for the races this year-one with a
mark which would put him I'm the fast
classes. but with a racing record which
is most f1attering. Mr.. Smith has put
his money into the game very literally
and host Of frieds would be pleased
to know that he had picked win

In few short weeks the song of
the rail- bird win be heard in the land,
again, and the prospect Of the long
winter will have to deliver the goods"
