TRLSTATE CLUB RACES-ROWLANDS VS.. GRFFITHS
Races and Horse ShOW at
Fairgrounds Wednesday
Tri- State Driving Club to Put
on Excellent Program for
Centennial Visitors.

IN conjunction with four excellent
harness races the Tri-State Driving
club is also offering tomorrow a show
OF high school saddle horses under the
supervision Of Miss Maud Burbank, OF
the Burbank Riding academy, and her
pupils. Miss Burbank, who is one of
the best known equestrienes in the
South, has under her charge some OF
the classiest saddle animals in the
country and is certain 10 put on a
splendid exhibition.
out doubt going to be the mixed free
for-all between three PAGERS and a trot-
ter and II this race Goes not produce
some zeal thrills and some record miles
then we miss our guess.
Miss SIG, the lone Irotter in the
field, has never been beaten in a natl
nee race in Memphis, mas never been
extended in any OF her heats and las
raced just fast enough TO prime her
for the race of her life now; julius
Goodman is improving with every. work
out-stepped a handy mile in his race
Saturday in 2:15 and is the n most
Of he wiseacres pick to win. Flnnetta
Pointer and Ruby Blngen went three
gruelling miles last week and although
the Bingen mare was returned winner
it was only after Orgills PAGER had set
the seasons track record at 2:l5 IN
the second heat Of their race. FIN
Meta Pointer will not trail and can
not be raced from behind unless prac-
tically choked down n her half in
1:041a Saturday gives a fair idea OF
the speed to be expected tomorrow II
the -four entries stay on their feet n
do nc aeroplaning.
Second Event.
In the second event Luther Mccall
lum sends his handsome AXworthy
mare, Big Pickery, to the post for the
first time and although short on work
she should make things mighty inter-
esting for the other contestants, as
as nice gated a PAGER as one would care
to see. McCallum will also drive Cy-
clone in the opening race.
The third should prove almost as
good a race, as the free-for-all because
next to Miss 816, Princelite, Betty BOYD
and DIR, Buckley are the three fastest
t~rotters owned in the club and all are
working to order at present. Miss
Belle Patchen struck herself In her race
last week and consequently Is In this
class instead of the free-for-al; the
McCreery mare Is still high in flesh
and it will doubtless De n week or two
before she reaches the great form dis
played last season.
The first race brings together the
largest field on the card n in it are
Memphis Girl, who has won both of her
starts, and Patrick Mckinney, who has
been first one and second once in his
two races. Last Saturdays race should
improve both Kathleen ABoff and Cyl
clone as this pair raced well but got
very tired at the emo.
Start at $50 O'Clock.
The races will start promptly at 2:so
and the judges will be Messrs, lrby
Bennett, Fred Orgill, Sr., Sam Open
heimer and Judge A, b. Pittman. Abe
Frank, the best starter who has ever
officiated in Memphis, will send the
