North Dakota six weeks ago, after
having started IL times and being in
the money every time but once.
Altar Boy, a green ~six-year-old
trotter, is being put through the
training PAGES by Grogan at present
and great things are expected of the
horse, which Is by King Red.
It is these kind of men, Messrs.
McGarvey, Anlow, Davis and Grogan,
who have worked untfrfngly to keep
the harness racing game from the
stigma that sometimes has entered
into the running turf, and 1t Is this
band who have been called the "old
guard" who have revived the game
OF late in Butte and are keeping up
Nontana's sulky race traditions by
victories over the best OF the eastern
turf.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1922-12-14

Is harness racing a dead sport III
Butte? No, is the answer OF an old
guard of reinsmen and trainers in the
mining city, who, unknown to the
greater part of the public are today
and have been since the track game
faded, racing hlgh-class trotters and
PAGERS, and, furthermore, gettlng
their share of purses on eastern state
tracks.
Running races can't survive with
out betting; the harness game can,
but the mutueI system would have
helped to bring it back on the old
basis in Butte" is the way n we'll
known Butte horseman puts it.
To-day Butte and Montana owners
are forced to leave their state in
order to race. The demand is great
in North Dakota, Minnesota and
other bordering states for entries at
the mer county fairs. In fact,
the sport has such popularity that
Butte men, the old-timers at the har-
ness end of racing, have taken thou
sands of dollars in purses from these
places in the years since the game
declined in their own parts" he said.
Once the home of two of the high
est-class breeding farms in the ma
ton, the blood of Montana sires and
dams is contributing winners on
other tracks of the nation today, as
attested by the yearly campaigns of
Charlie McGarvey, Pete Grogan, Jack
Anlow and F. c.. Davis, all Butte
men, who stand today at the head
of the old guard of drivers and train
ers.
From Tallyho to Turf
All of these men are but recently
home from successful seasons in
North Dakota and Minnesota. They
have nags, with blood and speed, and
guided over the eastern turf against
the best of that section, they have
kept up the mining city's track ira
ditions.
Twelve years ago a little brown
colt was foaled on the famous Lara
bic breeding station near Ruby. He
was by Spokane, 2:15h, one of the
famous harness animals of the oun
try 20 years ago, and his blood led
the owner to send him to California
for a whfrl at the game. "He didn't
go just right and, after three years,
was shipped back to Montana to run
the grassy ranges" Charlie Nc
Garvey, one-time owner of the fam
Gus Earnfold, and probably dean Of
Butte reinsmen, who owns Blue
Finch, a 2:11 speedster, says in Civ
ing his prize gelding's history.
A little later the animal found its
way to the livery stable. He was
then a big, brown horse and worked
we'll on a tallyho driven by J. H.
Cooney. He was also in demand at
funerals, and, in fact, the owners
had no trouble in hiring the animal
each day.
Then three years ago, McGarvey,
student of horseflesh since he was
able to climb into a sulky, bought
Blue Finch from Morris Egan. He
put the gelding through the training
PAGES and here is the record for three
years of the one-time range horse,
leader and all-around livery
animal:
In 1920-Ten wins and four times
in the money. 1921-Seven wins
and never out of the money. 1922

These wins were put W. by Blue

President Addresses More Than Ono
Thousand OFFICIALS at Government
Business Meeting.

MISUNDERSTANDING at the sec
ond business meeting or the govern.
ment, President Harding announced
that instead of a deficit In governmen ent
finances. as was forecast in Decem.
Der. there now were prospects of q
surplus OF receipts over expenditures
when the books are balanced at the
end Of next June.
The President further announced 1t
had been possible to reduce the gov.
ernment's expenditures from scale
based on $4,50O. 900. 900 a year to a
scale of S3,974 900, 900 and declared
that even in its formative period the
budget system has justified our most
confident expectations"
More than thousand officials from
all the departments and establish-
ments Of the government met with
the President and received the report
OF the various co-ordinating agencies
transmitted by Director Dawes, of
the budget bureau, whom the Presi.
describes as the genius" who made
possible the cut in expenditures.
The President and Director Dawes,
OF the budget, who followed him, an
nounced to the meeting that direct
savings, of s32,00O,O0O and indirect
savings of more than S1O4, 900, 900
had been accomplished in less than
six months through the operation
alone of the budget bureaus co-or.
dinating agencies.
Mr.. Harding expressed the further
opinion that the efforts on the part
OF the government toward economy
had been reflected among the people
at large.
II cannot but feel that the govern.
ment has in this budget organizati ton
set an example Of care and thrift
that has helped greatly to make say
ing fashionable. II to some extent
the government has been a leader in
SO praiseworthy cause. we ought all
to be gratffied to have had a part in
the affair. Much of the extravaganza
OF government has been due to a lack
OF sense of individual responsibility,
and the same is true In the corporate
businesses and the private affairs of
the people. II our efforts here shall
set standard and inspire an ambi.
ton for greater economies and higher
efficiency, we shall have served not
only the government. but the whole
public particularly we'll, perhaps our
example will be of service to the
