Originally the expression Facing

and applied to men who were, for
misconduct, dlummed out Of tie ranks
to the tune of the ."Rogue's March,.

have come from the theater, and re-

OMAHA Is PUT ON
THE RACING MAP
Becomes One of the Stations on the
Great Western Trotting
Circuit.
BIG STABLE OF FAST HORSES
BY G. X. MURRAY.


Edward Peterson and Otis Smith went
to Chicago last week to attend the an
nual meeting Of the Great Western Trot-
ting circuit, and the result was that
Omaha was installed as q member of the
second biggest harness racing circuit in
the world. tH
This accomplishment was in accordance
with the forecasts often previously made
and published IN these columns. The Sc
cret OF successful prophecy has been dis
covered, and II would be Unfair to the
world 80 conceal it, Here-it is: - E
Just predict that whatever Messrs
Smith and Peterson say they are going
TO pull off. will happen on schedule time.
Had this rule been known IN former
ages, prophecy would now be classed as
one OF the respectable arts. instead OF
being in disrepute.
Means Much for Omnhas
The placing of Omaha on the harness
racing map with Cleveland. Detroit, Pc
oria, GaIesburg. Burlington. Des Moines.
HamlIne, Milwaukee. Springfield. sedo-
liza, Albuquerque and Phoenix, appeals
to the biggest business men and sports
men of the city as one OF the most Inn
portant accomplishments from thee boost
er's standpoint. which this metropolis
has known in a long time.
Great Western circuit racing is not only
of such high class as to attract large
crowds to Omaha. but it commands In
terest throughout the country. and Will
result in much favorable advertising.
Associated Press wires will carry the re-
suits to scores OF newspapere. and Omaha
will be boosted as progressive city.
Meet at Speedway.
Plans for the meeting. which will be
held at the plant Of the Omaha Driving
club at the East Omaha speedway. call
for either four or five days of racing
during the week which begins August
q, according to Secretary Smith. Omaha
will precede the Iowa State fair at Des
Moines. which always has highly sue
cessful meeting.
1t is probable that the Nebraska Speed
association will find it to its advantage
to FIJI the interval between the newly or
ganized Nebraska Midway circuit and
the Omaha meeting, in which event
Omaha will again be a member OF the
local circuit.

club. in addition to Messrs. Peterson and
