RACING AT OVERLAND PARK.

Denver needs some kind of amuse-
ment where people may go for an
afternoon and forget the troubles OF
business. For years horse racing has
been stopped because of some petty
political strife and not because the
governor or mayor thought it was
wicked or harmful. After months of
persuasion the members of the Gentle
mems Driving and Riding club have
consented to have the club back the
meeting and be responsible to the ad-
ministration for the conduct of the
meet There is gamble in every form
of business or / may say a specula-
ton on your ability to judge correctly
the ups and downs of life. You may
buy oil stocks which today are-abso-
Iutely worthless but there is chance
of striking gusher-you may Duy
wheat corn or II. II. stocks, hoping
some watt of wind may send the stock
skyward-you may bet that Bailey or
Harrington be mayor upon your ability
to figure the politics and you do not
say it's gamble and so is life from the
mOney-you buy real estate on your
judgement, speculate in butter, eggs,
tramway stock, gas and electric bonds
and hundreds of other forms of Gas
IL
other forms of gambling. You marry a
girl and take chance-you enter busi-
ness, lease a piece of property which
may break you and you may safely
say it's n gable and so is life from the
cradle to the grave. To see lot of
horses run without putting up quar-
ter or a dollar is like kissing girl
with your arms tied. It's the sport OF
getting a hat off your friends that
makes politics exciting and no one
seems to object; but horse race
SENS to bringe on every "spasm OF
virtue" crank in Denver, no matter
how honestly the races may be run.
Tn for all kinds of sport that tends to
make people sensible and forget his
mother-in-law's faults. I'm for winning
cigar off my friend on my better
Judgment I'm for some kind of
amusement in Denver that will bring
thousands to our city and prosperity
to our business men. The Gentlemen $
Driving and Riding club has always
stood ace high in honor in this city.
1t has given races at City park for
years and always leads at the stock
shows. You may safely say there are
no better men in Colorado than j. A.
Osner, J. Fred Roberts, Frank G..
Kane, DR.. Dunleary, VIM. Reynolds,
Judge Colburn, Ramon Soils and
dozens of other higb-class business
men, and when they back meeting
in solid body like the Gentlemen's
Driving and Riding club, you may safe
ly count on a square deal. l hope we
may have a meeting of this kind every
year.

CITY AUTHORITIES ARE GIVING
FAIR PERCENTAGE OF EMPLOY

appointments under the new city adj
ministration, proving that the mayor
and his cabinet are keeping in good
faith with our people and giving us
representation on our merit:
Mrs. Mary Bolden, Mrs. T. +. Nc

office; Mrs. A. S. Hamilton, matron
at the bath house; Mrs. Ada Webster

promised the most harmonious busi.

from this time on we will get a recog
