The twenty-five horses above named
viii have the honor today of opening
Omaha's revival harness meeting, They
will contest i'm three races-the first held
I'm this city in more than ten years.
King Horse, for a decade an outcast
from the scene of many former triumphs,
while false pretenders ruled, will return
10 the throne today while thousands cheer
him from the grandstand at East Omaha
When o'clock comes today a gong will
summon the race horses to the track.
Waves Of applause will sweep the grand
stand. The horses will score. The start
ing Judge will give them the word.
Co" Men and horses well know the
meaning of the word. 1t signifies two
minutes and quarter of the most ex-
treme effort-horses and men straining
every nerve to the end OF finishing the
mile first, yet retaining control of nerves
and brain-one of the oldest of sports,
yet one which for true sportsmanship has
never been surpassed.
TwO-Fifteen Trot To-day.
The 2:15 trot, the feature event OF to-
days card, may prove the closest race Of
the entire meeting. The outstanding fea-
ture of this contest prior to its beginning
is the fact that the wise ones find it i'm
possible to agree in picking horse which
has a mortgage" on it. or to name two
horses, one of which is certain TO win
One reason is that the track seems likely
TO be a little soft today, which fact alone
renders any race uncertain.
