RACES TO

AUGUST TENTH
Program to be Held in the
Evening so That all Can,
Attend.

After IN all-day session between
Don Moore and Aleck Sloane 1t was
decided late yesterday to hold auto
races at the Grand Forks Fair
grounds August 10, and to make 1t
more convenient for those who do
not live In the city, the program will
not start until z p. m.
This action while entailing many
difficulties. was taken to give the peo-
pie in this city and surrounding terri
tory a chance. to see the events which
had. been looked forward to so muchs
and to allow the fair management an
opportunity to partly retrieve money
lost on account of the rainy ana mis-
cradle weather Of the past week.
The association went to great ex-
pense to bring to this city one Of the
finest, largest, and most complete fairs
ever seen in this part of the country.
features were brought from all over
the states. and the contemplated rae
ing program was the best eve ar
ranged here. y
But It rained. With attractions
spoiled. the fair association was faced
with a big deficit, and thousands of
dollars which, was spent in. making the
fair a success, were lost. The fair has
always been a big booster for the city,
and city institutions. It has brought
many hundreds Of dollars to the bust
ness men of the community. and~ad-
vertised the spirit of Grand Forks all
owe the northwest.
In order to re-coup to some measure
Its losses, the fair management asks
Grand Forks and the surrounding
country to assist in making the COM
ing races the biggest even ever stag
ed its history.
The program will be as good, If
not better. than the one arranged for
last Saturday. Some Of the same
driverslwill be here again: Others as
same sized purse. $4,000, has been put
up. f.
The program will consist Of long
and short events, the feature to be q
free-for-all ace Of SO laps for the
championship Of the northwest. The
meet will be an invitation affair, with
six wcll-known drivers to be entered.
Runprs have been current that the
government will rescind its order pro-
hibiting aviators from giving exhibit
ton flights. In this a it is very
probable that Katherine Stinson will
be brought here. to give an added
feature to the program.
In order to give the farmers. and
those living out of town a chance to
get in withqltslosing valuable working
time. the race will be put on at seven
o'clock lin the evening-promptly
Two drivers have already accepted in
vitations to race Ellingboe Of Crook
ston and George Clark, known
throughout the motor world as one OF
the most fearless Of drivers.
Further plans will be publishedin
the near future. The Fair manage
ment is depending on the people OF
Grand Forks and surrounding country
to help them out, as they have done
their part, and come out in as great OF
greater numbers as was expected las
Saturday.
