RACE MEET SUCCESS
This YEAR ASSURED.
!. BY BUSINESS HOUSES
Commercial Community Takes
Over Burden of Finance to
, Cover Any Deficit

ness houses are expanding the June
race meet, inaugurated here in 1928
by Mrs. G. K. Bryan, into a perma-
nent feature this year.
Almost unanimously they have got
behind the affair with a guarantee
that places the meet beyond the pos
sibility of financial embarrassment
for the plucky horsewoman who,
single-handed, has carried It through
two years.
For the meet is on such a scale that
it involves a large outlay Of expense.
Mrs. Bryan's aim has ben to develop
it into the blue ribbon sporting event
of the year for Bismarck. She has
gone into the big circuits to bring
here the best pacing and trotting
talent in the mid and northwestern
states, with carnival features added
to make it almost a county fair. The
result vas last year that she was cut
Of pocket.
Realizing the value to the city Of
the meet. the business men got to-
gether through the Association of
Commerce, last winter, and decided
to guarantee Mrs. Bryan against loss.
Committees were appointed and the
city canvassed for pledges. There
was an almost unanimous response to
. the suggestion.
Supervise and Advise
Under the Association of Commerce
plan there is no money advanced on
the meet, but if its receipts should
fail to suffice to meet its expense, the
guarantees will be drawn on pro rata
to cover the deficit.
Mrs. Bryan is the directing genius
of the event under this plan, but In
all phases involving financing she is
under the supervision of the business
mems committee and has their ad-
vice and cooperation. They pass on
all that she does, will be in charge
of all the departments of the meet,
and will handle the income and audit
her accounts. II the races prove a
financial success, not a cent will be
required of them, and, as said, II
there is a deficit. they will make 1t
up out of their guarantees.
Under this arrangement, the old
policy Of bringing the best in racing
horseflesh here has been continued

midwest have been drawn on, this
being possible as the meet is set for
the pre-circuit season in the central
west and eastern states where these
trotters and PAGERS will shortly begin
their season appearance.
Fine Carnival Features, Too
In addition, a splendid program OF
carnival entertainment has been pro-
vided, to be given in part in separate
shows and in part in arena acts be-
fore the grandstand. These features
will make evening attendance at the
grounds, southeast of the city, partic-
ularly interesting. The tract and its
track are in splendid shape for the
meet, June 18, 10, 20 and 81, and with
the business mel identified with the
races this year. the sponsors are opti-
mistic that a very successful carnival
of speed will reward the preparations
