RING At
THE BOISE FAIR
TO Be ABOLISHED

Pool selling and betting at the races
will be prohibited at the Inter- Noun
tain fair next year.
AT a meeting OF the fair directors
last night, il was decided to abolish this
form of gambling at the race track and
none Of the pools that We're made this
last season will be allowed on the
grounds again.
The question has long been a mooted
one and every year has been hard
fought subject between the directors
and the ministerial association. The
all of the machines and 10 make the
program one that will bring out the
Idaho ponies i'll larger numbers than
ever before.
Idaho horses, especially two and
three-year- olds, will be encouraged by
a program which the directors plan 10
have ready for the next fair. Wild west
features will be part of the entertain
mant and the schedule will be SO ar
ranged that there will be something
doing all Of the time ON the track.
The board formed itself into a COM
mittee to draft resolutions expressing
its determination TO do away with the
pool selling and betting at the course.
The machines have not been in the
past as successful as had been hoped
by the directors and have raised 50
much opposition from various sources
that II was decided to do away with
them altogether. Every year as regu-
larly as the fair rolled around, the Boise
Ministerial association has gone on
record against the machines and has
urged the directors to take the step
that they decided to take last night.
While the pools We're somewhat
modified last season, the opposition 70
them Was strong from various direc-
tons. The forces against them have
fought for their abolition from start %
finish and have demanded every year
that the directors forbid their use on
the race course. The board has at last
decided TO do this and will inaugurate
new features that it believes will make
the fair better than ever, will encour-
age home ponies on the track, and will
give better program than other fairs
have had.
