Dog races have been enjoying a
season Of prosperity in Florida, and
are still said to be flourishing in
some other parts of the country.
Up in Illinois, at Peoria, news
papers give them a great deal Of
space. And photographs OF the dogs
just as they used to carry photos
Of the popular horses Of the race
track.
Dogs with race-tracky names en-
tered in the lists.
And this is the first venture Of
the kind in this territory. Consid-
erable money expended in buildings,
grounds and equipment.
Now IL will be up to the pres
pective patrons OF the dog races.

have Joined in plan 10 construct
n track across the Rio Grande
from Mercedes. at Rio Rica, which
:. nt the Mexican side of the Nueva
Mercedes bridge.
II these initial enterprises meet
with a cordial reception, IL may be
assumed that in the not distant fu-
ture there will be a dog track for
every bridge, present and pros
pective.
THE CITY Of Brownsville has
done a very thoughtful thing out on
Elizabeth street, where that thor
ourhfare intersects State Highway
No. IL.
Has placed a very attractive e.o.-
trio sign, with estate Highway No.
10" in white letters. and beneath
a red arrow pointing out the high
4 way.
I Strangers visiting in the city, and
seeking outlet north. toward San Bc-
rito, frequently lose their way by
going straight out Elizabeth street,
and toward the Military road.
Now IL the city will just do some
thing about street signs for the
benefit Of local residents. old as
we'll as new, everything will be fine
and dandy.
