OSTRICH MAY
RACE HORSE

A. II. Virgins, of Florida, owner
of the famous Florida trotting ostrich
is in the city today comforting with
DIR. Chas Gasho, secretary of the
Mesa County Fair association rela-
tive to adding his feature to the fair
week program. His offer is condi-
tion and valid only if he succeeds in
booking Salt Lake. Butte and Helena.
Montana. and other western towns,
together with Grand Junction.
The ostrich stands nine and one
half feet high, weighs 27S pounds
and has a half mile trotting record
of one minute and three seconds and
mile record of two minutes and ,
seconds. He has been racing eleven
years and is still considered young
bird. 1t took twenty-four weeks to
train him so he would be bride wise.
The attraction which Mr.. Virgins
represents consists in a match race
between some local trotting horse, or
any horse which attends the fair. The
driver brings the bird on to the track
blindfolded and hitched to small
four-wheel racing buggy, made with
rubber tires etc. The driver then
makes a short speech to the grand
stand giving short description of
the peculiar bird, his habits, charac-
teristics size of his brain, which can
be placed in an ordinary teaspoon,
the advanced age to which the ostrich
lives. the method of training, etc.
The horse which he is to run. if he
is a fast one is placed fifteen or
twenty feet in back OF the scratch the
ostrich making a standing start.
When everything is in readiness and
the Introductory speech concluded the
hood is jerked off of the birds eyes
the gong sounds and he is off like a
shot.
1t is an interesting feature and will
be something new for this city. II is
claimed that there are only three
racing birds in existence, il being so
hard to train them.

AFRAID TO TURN
ON WATER PLUG

There are so many things coming
up in the near future" said Obsery-
ing Bob iardinge today, that ! hes
itate to turn on the water plug. for
it might get away from me and make
the place too muddy. For instance
there is that race next week between
Stanley, the crack runner and our
Halyve boy.
1t would never do 10 put a wet
crimp in the race track on that oc-
casion. OF course, We believe that
Saul is as good mud hen as any of
the racers, but We shouldn't put him
up against TOO strong a handicap.
"I'll see if ! can't arrange for a
light shower or two a couple of days
before the race so that the dust will
be well laid and the track made good
and firm. ! have a consignment of
special showers coming now They
were delayed in transit as they were
to have arrived with my new hose
supporters, but they will be here in
time for the race.

The State Highway

Now that the state highway
route has been decided through
Prowers county. 1t has been sug-
gested that the available funds for
working that road be used as soon
as feasible. and the road put into
condition for fall traffic and haul
ing. AS the road is a portion of
the new Santa Fe trail, over which
there will doubtless be hundreds
automobile parties travelling during
the next few months, up until and
after the Irrigation congress, it is
another argument in favor of ac-
tive work being started within a
reasonable period instead of wait
ing until next year when the at
tentions of the highway commission
may be directed toward another sec
ton of the road to the extent of
holding back the work in Prowers
county.
1t has been estimated that the
total cost of building the road will
amount to approximately $4,000. OF

GIRLS Fight AT AUCTION;
HAIR IS OFTEN IN DANGER

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 29.-Girl
stenographers and clerks in the state
capitol caused a disturbance at an ex-
citing auction on jewelry seized by
customs officers. The sale was held
in the assembly chamber. United
States Marshal Thomas J. Alcott, who
conducted the sale, had a difficult time
because of the rivalry and several
times had to stop wrsngles among the
bidders for fear hair pulling would
start. In fact, important state business
was suspended temporarily because
Of the auction. The iewelry had been
seized by the customs officials in Ho-
boken because of the failure of the
owner, Alfonso Piscacanco to pay
duty.
The girls excitedly bid in everything
that was offered and generally shouted
their bids in chorus. Several who were
outbid openly assailed their rivals, and
it looked for a short time as if there
would be real trouble.
