LITTLE FALLS MIRAGE CIRCUIT
IS GIVEN BERTH ON BIG FOUR
CIRCUTT-RACINa AT TIE
COUNTY FAIR

A program of horse racing promises
to be one Of the big attractions at the
county fair in Little Falls next fall if
sufficient funds can be raised to con-
struct a race track and build stables,
etc. At meeting Of representatives
of four county fairs: Benton, Morrison,
Stearns and Ottertail, at st. Cloud Fri
day afternoon, the Big Four racing cir
cult was organized, Little Falls being
given a berth on the circuit, taking
the place Of Wahpeton, the Richland
county fair of North Dakota. Charles
Sylvester and Barney Burton repre-
sented Little Falls at the meeting.
There will be two days of horse rae
ing at the coming county fair here, two
races each day, and $500 in purses will
be offered for each race. The days Sc
lected for the racing here are Monday
and Tuesday, September II and Is. The
fair will be held on Saturday, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, September Is,
l6, II and IS. The horses that will
race at the Benton county fair will
finish there on Saturday, September
Is and will then be broug hit here.
From here they will 20 to Fergus Falls.
An effort will be made to have the
track and stables ready so as to have
a meet here on July Fourth. -,
About $4,000 must be raised here in
the near future for the construction of
the track and stables and the commit
tee expects to start work soon. In
order to be in the circuit Little Falls
is required to build a race track 80 to
IS feet wide. The track does not have
to be first class the first year. A cir
cular half mile track is planned. Sta
bles for at least 90 horses must be
built and Little Falls must join the
American Trotting association and
must organize local racing associa
ton. At least one licensed official is
also required for each track. He has
power to impose penalties and to bar
horsemen from racing on association
tracks until any penalties which may
have been assessed are paid.
The proposed race track would be
located on the fair. grounds in the
southeastern part Of this city. Addi-
tional ground must be purchased, and
the addition to the fair grounds will be
on the south side. The grand stand
will have to be moved further south
and it. will face south.
The cooperation of the fairs does not
cease with the formation Of the Big
Four racing circuit. They will book
attractions together and thereby get
them vt one-half the cost Of separate
bookings. The acts secured for the

MEETING OF MOTHERS CLUB
(COntributed)


The Mothers club of the Central
school, which was organized a short
time ago, has held two very interest
ing meetings. The aim Of the club Is
to further friendly intercourse between
mothers and teachers, and mothers aid
mothers, and also to promote that
which is best for the interest of the
school.
The program at meetings is to be
both instructive and ente1 tanning, real
ling that the two factors have to be
united to make the club successful. At
the first organized meeting, Miss
Snavely with her little orchestra, dem
onstrated what wonderful progress in
music could be made in short time
under q competent instructor.
At the meeting held March %. after
pleasing program by the children,
the club was addressed by Miss Regina
Werner, superintendent at st: Ga
briefs hospital, who spoke on "Dan-
ger Signals.' Miss Werner gave 4
very clear and able talk on the symp-
toms which herald the disease of child
hood; the dangers of complications,
diet and care; illustrating her subjects
by drawings on the board. Miss Wer-
ner has a charming personality and
her interesting and instructive lecture
was given the closest attention by the
many mothers present.
