APPLY FOB GREAT WESTERN Uy . K. MI BR4.V. Horsemen of Omaha and vicinity began planning to make this city a harness horse breeding, training and racing cen ter before the steeds which furnished th entertainment for th big crowd of a veek ago Saturday at tii speedway wer croled out and put away- Th tu lines men of Omaha who know th horse gam have reaolved that this city shft.ll tah tie leading position in the harness racing I Industry In the muddl west, whkh It ur doutitemy deserves ana can nave. The people of Omaha hi answered emphatically In the sffirnttlv tb utes tion whether they want to res hlgh-claf trotting and pacing races, nnd only two main Issues remain to be settled: On how large a scale shall next year's race meeting be held and where shall It b located. Already th horsemen hav "-. elded to hold In the near futur a con sultation to which all local men who de sire to boost the game In Omaha will t Invited, for the purpose of answering the so queries. Aa this gathering will Includa the di rectors of the Omaha Driving club and a number, of other big business men of the city who are accustcmed to succeed In whatever they undertake, tho pros pects are that their decision will inean something of permanent, substantial good lor Omaha. Oraanlse twk Company. EM Patterson, president of th Omaha Driving club, and Otis M. 8mlth, secre tary, hav received congratulatlona from hundreds of Omahans on th success of the recent race meeting and on th sportsman-Ilk manner In which It waa conducted, ' and it Is apparent that S'ic ressrul promotion of a stock company tor tho purpose of constructing a sultsbla trsinlng and racing plant would b rather an easy matter. This, It is probable, will be th basis of th plan to b conBlSjrad at th conference of horsemen. Lexington, Ky., Is th most prominent example of th benefits th horse, can bring to a city, th "trots" bringing to Lexington each fall visitors from all over America and even from th old world, and th breeding and training farms sur rounding the city being a perpetual sourc of Interest. Goshen, N. T., with Its half mile track, considered one of th best of Its kind In th world, has utilised th horse to make It a feature town, rather than a common place one. A good many other cities have don th same. at Isr Mrs Interested. Omaha Is fortunate In that the big men and the beat sportsmen of the city ai Interested lnth horse. Horsemen Ilk to gather In a city where such condition exlslts and a considerable Immigration of them Is only awaiting formation . of permanent plans here. Th location at th speedway In East Omaha Is excellent in many ways and there are also several drawbacks to 1U Whan th Locust street viaduct 1 fin ished transportation troubles will prac tically be solved. The track which Is how a little to sandy to be fast, can b re surfaced for a few hundred dollars and placed In excellent condition. . There Is room Inside th board automobile bowl for a mile dirt track. Yet other locations are being considered and a better place may be found. There Is a question whether Omaha wants a mil or half mil track. Th Ideal plan Is to hav both. Th fastest horses should rac over a mil track and several Omaha men are anxious to hav a mil track to train over. But th spectators at a rac meeting like to see th horses pass th grandstand twice and a part of a race program should be con tested over th two-lap oval. Kates Faat Clrealt. It la probabls that Omaha will apply for membership in th Great Western circuit next year If several early closing stakes can be arranged. Such stakes ar usually guaranteed by pormlnent busi ness firms and th events are named for th guarantor. Th xpens to Indi vidual guarantor Is small and Is mor than repaid by favorable publicity to themselves and to their home city. Re sults of races In th Great eWstera cir-j cult are carried all over th country by; th Associated Press. It Is practically certain Omaha bust ment will form a matin club next year and will hold regular contests. Titer la no finer development of th harness rac ing sport than the matinee. Also when a man gets interested In driving his own horses In contests with other amateur he has provided himself with a whole some, healthful pleasure, which will glv blra a new Interest in life and prolong his period of existence on this earth. Breeding th trotter and pacer is an other fascinating diversion and breeding! and training farms are certain to follow establishment of a suitable harness hors plant In Omaha.
