The deiinate date for the meet will
depend upon conferences to be held
within the next two weeks with prom

Schas and Duncan will take over in

that organization with the exception

unusually big profits. He investigated
the chances for a meet in Reno only
in a sort of way, it is said. when he
first decided to go into the venture,
but after a careful study came to the
conclusion that there wouldn't be suf-
ficient in it for himself. He admitted
that the meet could be held and that
a comfortable profit was to be made,
but ii was big profits he desired, it is
said.
Not After Big Profits.
The intention of those who favored
the measure to revive horse racing in
Nevada was not TO make profits, but
was to stimulate interest in the breed
ing of thoroughbred stock. That some.
profits would have to be realized was
admitted, but only sufficient to keep
the organization alive from meet to
meet. 1t is with this same idea in
view that Schas and Duncan decided
to conduct the meet. While they are
the principals in promoting the af-
fair, r. II. Dunn and others who are
owners of good horses have promised
to cooperate and do all in their pow
er To max it a success.
