SATURDAYS RACES

neSSeQ IN tQlS part OIL Tie country last
Saturday afternoon at the AtWater
race track. Altho the track was new it
seemed to make very little difference
as the speed that was shown was sur
prising to all.
The matched race between John
Gum and Pauline was somewhat of
disappointment to the crowd due TO
the fact that John Gum went lame
and was unable to finish the race.
There was much interest aroused in
their race as both are Well-knOWn
turnout the country and have been
showing considerable speed in the
past.
One of the most interesting heats
ever watched on any race track was
the heat between Pauline and Billy
Sunday. The race was a neck and
neck race from start to finish. Billy
Sunday winning the heats by a half
horse length.
The race between Billy Sunday and
Night Express was also very inter-
esting race. Billy Sunday winning in
straight heats. John Anderson won
the 2:30 trot with his boy Trotter
This race proved to be a very inter
esting contest as the heats were split
which made it necessary to drive four
heats. Mr.. Anderson winning the last
heat which gave him the race.
The 3-minute mixed race had sever
al entries. most of them being mex
perienced horses. This race was won
by J. S. Anderson with his sorrell pa
Ger with three straight heats.
The Shetland pony race proved to
be very laughable race and the
crowd seemed to enjoy it very much.
The little ponies showed considerable
speed, but the riders had some diff
Guilty in keeping them from taking a
short cut across the track.
The crowd was given a very nice
riding exhibition by w. H. Toilette,
| with his five gated saddle horse,
Black Prince. Between heats the
crowd was entertained by the Atwater
I Band. The Community Driving Club
was very pleased to see the interest
shown by the people at large esptcial-
ly by the neighboring towns as each
of the following towns were we'll rep
resented: Grove City, Litchfeld, How
ard Lake, Paynesville, Kandiyohi and

closing their places of business dur

race meet at the race track is the very
near future. Watch the Willmar Tri-
