In this issue Of The Gazette
is published the list of horses
entered for the races held at the
Redwood County Fair grounds
July 4 and 5, and the list in
cludes the best to be found in
this section of the country. The
track is in the best condition it
has ever been and other con-
ditions for a splendid race meet
are most suspicious.
Schmahl Speaks
While the races are a big fea-
ture of the celebration of July
4, they are not all of it. At 1920
o'clock in the morning the pro-
gram in Ramsey State Park will
be opened by music by the Bel
view Band, followed by a song
by the male quartet. Secretary
of State, Julius A. Schmahl will
then give a short talk on ma
tional issues after which there
will be more band and quartet
music. Then will follow the
most soul-satisfying event Of the
day-the picnic dinner with the
races beginning promptly at
1:30 o'clock. There will be
dance at the Armory in the
evening with music by the
Jones orchestra of Luverne-
an organization whose classy
music needs no recommendation
to the people of this vicinity. The
Tanning of The Shrew will be
presented at the Chautauqua
tent in the evening.
Some Horses Here
Among the horses entered for
races, Happy Heart of Morton
is entered in the 2:15 Pace.
! Happy's record is PISA and
he is very apt to make those
foreign invaders Of his own ter
ritory look several different
ways. With Happy Heart will
start Med, 2:19A, North Star,
2:1414, Bob White, 2.1414. and
Jerry H.
This same North Star arrived
at the fair grounds last week
along with Allie Dixson, Ella
Colby, Hathena and George Ma
son. These horses are owned
by DR.. D. J. West of Madison.
Wis, and are here in charge Of
three trainers who are putting
them through daily workouts
on the track. l.a
Hale Chaffin Here
Hale Chafin, who did what no
automobile has ever done, when
he covered the half-mile ice
track on Lake of the Isles in So
seconds, is entered in the 2:25
and 2::35 pace. This is a worlds
record and Hale's exhibition of
speed alone should call to the
race track every lover Of a good
horse.
Tekwil, a little mare owned
by Fred Spoerhaus of Winthrop
is also attracting her share Of
attention as one of the real
things to be seen here.
County Race
For the strictly local horses,
an interesting Redwood County
Free for All, Trot or Pace, will
be put on the program for July
5. There will be no entrance fee
for this race, and no percentage
will be deducted from the purse
which is $50. The entries for
this race will not close, but as
it is DESTROYS to get eight or ten
to start, those wishing to enter
should notify Sec. G.. A. Schild-
knecht on or before July 3.
There will be a running race,
open to horses of Redwood and
Renville Counties, each of the
two days. This race offers a
purse Of $50 for the best two
out Of three heats. There will
also be motorcycle race each
day with a purse of S25 for him
who covers five miles with the
most speed, dust and noise.
