TUESDAYS RACES.

Although the first days racing took
place with rain falling the track was ir
| prime condition and the heats were fast
and interesting In the 235 pace, with
$500 purse, ]. II. c. had everything
his own way In the three heats for
first place. Billy Buck, J. A. T. and
Lazetta fought for the remainder of
the money. In the second heat Halle
Lake was disqualified for foul driving
at the lower turn on the first lap. His
driver forced the gelding across the
track In front of the other horses. The
finish of this heat was exciting as the
first three horses were punched at the
wire.
The best races Of the day were in the
All stake pace, In which Frank b.
cash, jr. was the star performer. Rae
ing men say no one ever saw Bogash
pushed to his limit, and although he
had good horses against him he never
was in danger of losing a heat. The
only time he was headed was in the
second heat, when Ruth K, at the half
mile forged few feet i'm front for a
short distance The first and second
heats were turned in 2.12%, which is
but two and quarter seconds slower
than the track record set last year by
Major Mallow in the free for all.
Casey Jones took straight heats in the
2.24 pace-2.21 trot. The best finish was
In the first heat when four horses came
down the stretch well punched. lady
A. fought gamely in each of the three
heats, only to have Casey Jones pull
ahead at the finish. The starting Of all
the races was good.

WEDNESDAYS RACES.

The grandstand was crowded and the
fences along the home stretch lined with
persons watching the races Wednesday.
AL billiard took the PIP stake pace in
straight heats and did not have much
difficulty in winning. Rouse's Point Boy
and Alcyde fought for second place with
the former getting the money. The first
heat of ,this race was very close. AL
billiard came down the stretch slightly
ahead of the field and finished number
one, Rouses Point Boy, Alcyde and
Dena came under the wire in a bunch
with fractions of seconds between them,
In the second heat AL billiard was far
ther ahead of the other horses, but the
fight for second money kept up the in
terest. AL billiard repeated in the third
heat and won without hard driving.
The first heat of the 2.27 trot con-
sisted Of series OF breaks by every
horse with the exception of Lucy
Patchen. Allen D. led at the half but
on the back stretch broke and lost his
position, Prince Darcy. and Wake For
rest followed almost Immediately. In
the stretch they broke again, but got
into the trot before they passed under
the wire. Lucy Patchen easily won first
money and the second, third and fourth
money was divided among the other
horses. In the third heat Prince
Darcy finished second, but was given
fourth place because his driver pulled
across the track at the upper turn in
front Of the trailing horses
Frank Bogash. jr, again demonstrated
that he was a real racer. In Tuesdays
races j. H. c. was his only formidable
rival for the honors and the purses, but

field in the 230 stake pace and crowd
ed j. H. c. into third place. Boga sh
won in straight heats and as in the first

trailed him in every race and 1t was
only on the stretch in each heat that

ishes were as close.

MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR
OLD SETTLERS PICNIC,

Enterprise Push A number OF our
people met on Monday evening at
the home of e. r. Karr to talk over
and make arrangements for the
Dickinson county old settlers req
union which will be held the first
week in September. Quite bit Of
enthusiasm entered into the meet
ing and everybody seems to be de-
termined to make this the biggest
and grandest reunion ever held here.
Nearly all favor two day affair but
this has not been definitely decided
as yet. Neither has the place Of
holding the reunion. About an hours
time was taken UP in discussing the
logical place. Those present were
about evenly divided between the
Hoffman grove and the school house
grounds. We hope this matter will
be satisfactorily threshed out at the
next meeting so we can give you
some definite information next week.

MUCH IMPROVEMENT IN
DICKINSON COUNTY ROADS

Those familiar with the roads Of
the county are commenting on the
excellent condition Of the county
roads compared with two or three
years ago. The roads north Of town
are especially fine. The Buckeye
avenue road north to Zion church
Is like a boulevarde and road from
Pyke school house to Buckeye store
- likewise perfect, The farmers are
doing better work than ever before.
The road to Solomon especially
through Lincoln township, is in the
best condition ever known, thanks
to J. w. Henderson. the trustee Of
Lincoln, who is a good roads en-
thusiast.

The Riddle Twins.

Down in Dickinson county there
are two young men-twin brothers
who look so much alike that no
one can tell them apart. One is a
Republican and the other a Demo-
crat. The Republican is a candidate
for county surveyor and the Demo-
Gratis are talking Of running his twin
brother against him. One twin is
Abilene's city engineer, but both do
the work and probably split the sal
airy. If you can't find one the other
will do just as well. One of them
wears glasses and the other doesn't,
but nobody knows which one. They
are both fine fellows, and whichever
is elected the other will be his dep
uty. If one is elected chances are
that the county clerk is likely to
issue the certificate to the other
Osborne Farmer.
The above article refers to Karl
and Kenyon Riddle Of this city. Both
are exceptionally fine young men oil
the type who do things. They are
making good.

SOME REGISTRATION FACTS.


A recent ruling Of Attorney Gener'
al Dawson may make much extra
work in the city clerks office here
and at other places. Mr.. Dawson says
that city election is not general
election. The election law regarding
the registration Of voters. says that
man who registered for the last
general election does not need to
register again to vote II he has not
mayed since the general election.
This means that IL man regis
tered two years ago for the primary,
he does not have to register again
for the primary next month, although
he may not have voted in the past
two years at other elections. II a
person did not register then or has
moved since, he must register. It
will be necessary for the clerk to
check up the voters two years ago
and this will make much work.

BIG CUT is MADE IN
PRICE OF NEW FLOUR

The Abilene Milling Co. and the
Security Milling Co. announce re-
duction of so cents hundred pounds
on new flour and slight reduction
on old flour. This is the biggest
reduction ever, made in flour in
Abilene and If the grocers make a
corresponding cut to the customers
1t will mean reduction of probably
25 cents a sack. The reduction was
made on account of the drop in the
price of wheat.

THE BEST HE HAS EVER SEEN
Engineer Fretz Says the Wheat Crop
Is q Bumper.

For the past 32 years Engineer
Fretz of the Union Pacific has been
travelling several times each week be-
tween this city and Ellis. This morn
Ing he stated that the yield of wheat
between Ellsworth and German. a
distance of 40 miles, was the best
he had ever seen in his travels
through that country. From this city
to Ellsworth the yield is very good.
but from Ellsworth west the yield
Is extra fine. The farmers are thresh-
ing and already the Union Pacific is
short of cars to haul the golden grain.
