The Race Meet. . The race meet held in this city last ^ V™ h’i iduy and Saturday was one of the greatest racing events ever held in -his state and those who missed the c\ onto missed seeing some of the finest racing ever pulled off in any city in any state in the union. There have been race meets held in some of the larger cities in which larger purses were offered but they had no better races nor were there any better horses entered. The horses that were here for the event were the best run n^.yg horses in the country and many of them had raced in some of the great I races held in the east and south last year and the year before. The horse that won the mile derby $1,000 purse at Des Moines last year was here and was fn entry in the mile derby, but had to be content with second place, being defeated for the purse by Min nie B after one of the greatest races ever seen on any track. Old tace horse men say that there was the finest bunch of running horses here that they had ever seen on any track in the country. There was fifty-four head of horses here and lovers of good horsees were given a rare treat as they were as fine looking a bunch as any one would ! , wish to look at. Horses that won ' good purses in races in Cuba, Chili ana New urieans were enterea in tne races here and in many of the events had to be content with second place or worse. One thing that was quite noticable was that the favorite was defeated more times than it won. In h j Friday’s races out of seven events the fc *1"*1 lliCorite came under the wire first in but two events, showing that all the horses were in the race to win. The races were also a financial suc cess the promoters taking in enough money at the gate to pay all expenses. The success of this event has been such that the racing lovers in this city are figuring on making the running race meet an annual event and it is certain that if they can secure as good a bunch of horses as were on the track this year that the events will be successful as everyone who witnessed the rac&s this year will be a booster for the next me'et.
