Sundays Dog Race And Sports Events Will at lP.M.

Last Sunday the dog races, ski jumps, etc, put on by the Nome Kennel Club proved to be of such interest that the club has been besieged with requests for an- other show. So they have chos en this Sunday-February 14th Valentine" Day" as an appropri ate time for the second event.
 All Nome is buzzing these days with talk of the Queen" Contest so the Kennel Club feels Our Queens" should be the high light of the day. To add interest to the dog races, the dog team own CTS will place their names in a hat and each Queen" contestant will draw the team with whom she will ride just before starting. In this way no contestant will know with whom she rides until the last minute.
 The Queen" riding with the winning team will receive 1000 votes in the Queen Contest-the second prize 750 votes, and third prize 500. Here is a good oppor- tunity for some dog team owner to be King for Day..
 Immediately after the "Queen's Burden Race, all spectators are requested to congregate on the Main Street in front of the North Pole Bakery which is to be the finish line for the First Race-age limit 12 years, boys and girls with one dog. The race is to start in front of C. w. Thornton's and finish in front of the North Pole Bakery. This is a straight one-way race to eliminate less confusion. Youngsters are re- quested to have their dogs and sleds ready immediately after the main event.

 Unknown to her, Miss Audrey Durham was nominated for Queen" yesterday, but since then she has requested that her name be withdrawn.
 Word was received by wire to- day from Grant Jackson, who is now in Seattle, that he will do- nate $10O.O0 cash to Miss Nome. This donation will be used in the purchase of the Queens" ward robe. The only stipulation made by MT. Jackson was that he be given set of pictures of the Queen. This favor will be given to Grant (no pun intended) inasmuch as MT. Jackson will be absent from Nome during the contest. The Kennel Club wishes to express its appreciation of MT. Jackson's spirit of cooperation.
 Everyone in Nome is all prim- ed for the preview of the Queen Candidates at the Dream Theatre next Tuesday night.
