A strong racing circuit was formed
this week by the western delegates,
at meeting held at Montrose Thurs
day afternoon.
Four Grand Junction men were
present-W. S. Phillips. Charles Ga
sho, A. t. Gormley and c. c. Price.
They give glowing account of the
meeting and the work accomplished,
which is much wider in its scope than
might be supposed.
At pm. Thursday representatives
from Delta, Hotchkiss, Gleuwood
Springs. Grand Junction, Salt Lake
and Montrose formed a strong racing
circuit at the X. p hall, and agreed
upon dates that will avoid conflict
for the various county fairs in the
future. This was found necessary to
secure harmony and offer better in
ducements to racing men to bring
their horses to the fairs.
The association was called the
Western Colorado-Utah Fair & Rae
ing Association, and the following
dates for fairs. were agreed upon:
Glenwood Springs, August 2S to Sep
tember . Hotchkiss, September 4 to
8; Delta, September IL to 16; Mont
rose, September is to 23: Grand
junction, September 25 to 80; Salt
Lake City, October to Z; Boise. Oc-
tober . to 1 ..
The meeting was called to order
by w. o. Redding, who has been
working hard to bring about the for
nation of a circuit for some time.
Horace Samuel Ensign of Salt Lake
City was chosen secretary.
Later the temporary organization
was made permanent, and each asso-
citation allowed one representative
upon the board of directors, the Sc
lections being as follows: Grand
Junction, A. T. Gormley: Delta, Ed
S. Stone; Glenwood Springs, j. w.
Bell; Hotchkiss, James Barnard;
Montrose. AL Neale; Salt Lake City,
Horace S. Ensign, secretary of the
Utah State Fair Association. These
directors will serve until replaced by
their local associations.
A committee, consisting of James
Barnard of Hotchkiss, AL Neale of
Montrose and A. T. Gormley of Grand
Junction, was appointed to request
officials of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad to grant cities represented
in the circuit the privilege of return
ing race horses to the point of des-
tination free. This privilege is
granted all racing associations on the
Santa Fe railroad, and there is little
doubt that the Rio Grande will be
equally liberal in its treatment of
cities In it's territory.
At b pm. the delegates were taken
in automobiles to the fair grounds
and over the city. At all returned
to the X. p. hall and enjoyed an ex-
