RACES IN UTAH
AND MONTANA
Midsummer Events to Fol
low Close of Racing in
Kentucky.

Midsummer racing in Utah and
Montana Will take on an added impor-
lance this season for two reasons.
The first of these is hat the circuit,
which will be opened with a twenty
two-day meeting at the Lagoon track,
near Salt Lake City. on July 3. will
have a virtual monopoly of racing in
the United States during a consider
able portion of its scheduled dates.
The second of the reasons referred
to is the attr%activeness of the racing
programs arranged for the various
meetings of the circuit, at Lagoon.
Butte and Anaconda. all of which will
he under h general management OF
II. L.. Wilson of Butte.
The opening of the Lagoon meeting
will closely follow the close of rae
ing in Kentucky and this circum-
stance will doubtless influence some
owners who have before raced
In the far west to do SO this year.
Martin Williamson, to whose care the
details of the racing have been en-
trusted. will spend the next few days
at Louisville and Latonia, comforting
With owners now racing in kentucky
who may desire to invade the west.
He already has been assured Of a
considerable number of shipments by
horsemen who have an idea that in
the west they will find a good market
for horses that they will first race
and then sell. Mr.. Williamson ex-
poets to book from $50 to 200 horses
from Kentucky and a special train
will probably be arranged for to trans
port them to the west.
There will be about 100 days of
racing at Lagoon. Butte and Anacon-
da. and in addition. horsemen who
p%atronize the circuit will have the
opportunity of racing at the Utah
and Montana state fairs. which will
take place during an intermission be-
tween the big meetings. The dates
have been purposely arranged to
for the generous purses hung up at
the fair meetings. if they so desire.
An alluring stake program has been
provided for the Lagoon and Butte
meetings.

to his troubles. Hughes ran out rf

to the supply station.
These mis,aps may not have cost
MIN the race. but they certainly did
cut him out of a second position that
seemed assured. At the finish of the
long grind the Mercer engine was
talking as regularly as it was at the
start of the race.
t,nstinted praise is also the just por-
ton of the sturdy Stutz cars. Again.
even as Il year ago. they made good
in a way. Three of these cars we're
entered in the race. One met with an
u~navoidahl mishap which compelled
Its withdrawal from the contest, but
the other two sped along from start
to finish with perfectly acting engines,
with comparatively little tire trouble.
and both finished in prize positions.
They survived the gruelirg grind
where other larger and higher priced
machines. including the mighty Mer-
cedes of De Palma succumbed. and
they finished with honor after a most
remarkable exhibition of stability and
power.
n review of the race would be in
complete without Il word of praise for
the magnificent gameness OF the pilot
of h White car. This car suffered
more tire mishaps and misfortunes
than other in the race. so many Of
them in fact that toward the last the
entire supply CT spare tires became
exhausted. But the daring owner and
pilot of the can refused to be denied
his place amor" the prize winners and
made his final laps with both front
tires missing and speeding on the
metal rims of the wheels. It was as
was ever seer on any ace course.
This years International sweep
stalks was in every way one of the
most remarkable motor contests over
held. and as such it will be long re-
membered by. the racing fraternity.
