Limit of Thirty Days at Butte
Makes Gloomy Outlook
for Runners.

II is hy no means certain that horse
racing at Lagoon will he confined to the
dates announced by II, / Wilson last
week, and there is some ground for the
belief that there viii be more racing than
is called for by those dates. The dates
announced were that racing at Lagoon
was TO begin July 8 and close, for the
first meeting, July q to reopen October
and continue until bad weather set in.
The recent decision OF the Montana
supreme court limiting racing at Butte
to thirty days, and strict prohibition
nf an extension OF that time In Silver
Bow county, wherein Butte is situated
causes the Montana horse lovers much
gloomy speculation. Out of the thirty
days there must come the time demand
ed by the harness men. who plan four
teen days meeting. leaving only sixteen
DAYS for the runners. This, with four
teen days al Anaconda. would be all the
horsemen could expect exclusive OF the
state fair dates at Helena.
