RAIN CAUSED
ALL RACES TO
BE POSTPONED
LIMIT TO THE FIELDS TODAY
RAISED AND TEN HORSES ARE
ENTERED IN EACH OF THE
EVENTS cARDEp.
b. W.. a. 3.

There was nothing doing at the race
track yesterday for the simple reason
that conditions were more suitable for
ducks than thoroughbred race horses
so the card was declared of and the
owners and stable hands turned their
attention from doping out a winner
TO fishing for their property which
was sailing around Kupfrian's park
The tremendous downpour did not
work the havoc at the track as was
at first expected, although for sever
al hours the entire infield resembled
a lake.
Several stables were flooded, but
shortly after the rain ceased 1t all
drained away, practically the only in
convenience resulting is the dampness
in general. Considerable feed. hay,
oats and whatever else horse eats,
received a wetting, but not much dam
age was done.
The limit to the fields was raised
tgo points. and now ten can contest
IN one r4ce. This worked to a great
advantage, for by far best card Of the
meeting is offered this afternoon. AL
though the track will probably be
rather soft and here and there hole
caused by the heavy rain, all the races
filed well with the best horses at the
track.
While all are selling affairs there is
all kinds of classes attached to the
numbers, for each one contains sever
al of the better class Of platers. The
fourth race Will serve as the feature
with such good ones as Sandiver. Love
watches, Donovan, Bat Masterson and
horses OF that calfbre. The closing
event will crowd the fourth very
closely for top honors. for nine crack
cracks will get together here. With
fair weather today the banner crowd
OF the meeting is confidently expect
ed, for It has long ago been proven
that when good. attractive and clean
racing is offered the local public sup
ports the game royalty.
