WAS A HUMMER
THREE DAY MEET LAST WEEK
PLEASED LARGE CROWDS
HUNTER DERBY BIG Event
ASSOCIATION WELL PLEASED
WITH RESULT OF SECOND
RACE MEET OF THE YEAR

The race meet last week which
closed Friday afternoon at the race
track on College Hill was a hummer.
1t drew good crowds, pleased the
hcrsemen and was a success for the
management The crowd was per-
haps not as large on the last two
days as it might have been owing to
the busy season of the year for the
farmers but there was good attend
ance from other cities and towns in
this western country and the meet
turned rut to. be big success in
every way. The management was
under the direction of the Black Hills
Racing and Stock Growers Associa-
ticn and they are to be congratula-
ted on starting something that is do
ing more to advertise Hot. Springs
than any other one thing that has
been started here in years. Between
fifty and sixty thoroughbreds were
here and the hosemen are loud in
their praise of the track and especial
ly the treatment accorded them dur
ing their stay here.
The last days card Of races was
perhaps the best of the three. Every
race was filled but the most interest
was displayed in the Hunter Comp
any 100000 derby of one mile and
the race lived up to all expectations
The purse was given by the Hunter
Company, the head of this firm be-
ing one of the best boosters for the
race course in the city and man
who backs his words with his money.
Every horse entered in this race was
out for the money and most Of them
have raced on all the big tracks as q
glance at the entries will show.
Ivy Baldwin, one of the big at
fractions made one of the best balloon
ascensions during the afternoon that
has ever been witnessed IN this city.
Ivy always delivers the goods.
Everything during the three days
passed off smoothly and Chief of Po-
lice Dalbey reports that the crowd
was so orderly that not an arrest was
made or trouble of any kind encoun-
tered during the entire celebration.
The people of the city and the as
sociation were so pleased with the
success of the meet that they have
announced another two day meet on
August 10th and 18th and as prac-
tically all the horses that were here
and also number of others are still
in the Hills at Raptd City and Dead
wood, this fact should assure good
entries for every event.
