FOLLOWERS of the light harness horses have a treat in store for them this week, beginning Tuesday afternoon at the Ak-Sar-Ben field track, if the present conditions can be relied upon. Seldom if ever in the his tory of the Great Western rirluit has a meeting been able to boast of so large or high class an entry list. bummed up bnetly, the tacts ot the'v meeting, as taken from the entry list, arc; - Five days of racing. Sixteen harness races on the pro gram, with trom two to three events for the bang tails each day. A total of $15,500 in purses for the harness races. Total of 291 entries. One hundred and three Nebraska owned horses. Sixty-three Omaha' owned horses. The fast side wheelers will have a chance the first day in The Sam son" $1,500 stake for 2:05 pacers. This event drew 15 entries, among which are some of the fastest pacers in the country. Hall Bee 2:06 heads the list, and those who attended the meeting here last fall will remember this nice going little daughter of Hal B. She has been racing on the Grand Circuit this season and giving a good account of herself. She is owned by Ed Peterson of Omaha and should be one of the contenders if she starts. Likely Candidate. Liberty, a sorrel gelding by Son of Orator, owned by C. V. Morgan of Omaha,, is another likely candi date in this event. Ralph Cobb, a chestnut gelding by Hedgcwood Boy carries a mark of 2.06 1-4 and might make trouble for the winners. Red Lancelot, a bay gelding by Constantine Alonzo gets in . this class tinder the time allowance, as he packs a winrace mark of 2:02 1-2 and is a hard horse to beat when right. Main Direct by Merry Direct car ries a winrace tab of 2:03 1-4 and has won every start so far this year. This horse comes from Calgary, Alta., and his record this year would seem to make him one of the con tenders in this class. Peter Brooke Entered. Peter Brooke, by Justice Brooke has been racing through the Grand circuit and is liable to upset the dope as also is Logan Hedgcwood, a son ot Hedgcwood. This horse carries a mark of 2:04 1-4 and is in the vtable of Henry Thomas of Omaha. Minerva Gentry, a bay daughter of John K. Gentry owned by Dr. L. A, Prrmody of Omaha, was second in 2 02 1-4 on the Grand this year and looks "good. Thirty-one horses are entered in the "Omaha ("lumber of Commerce" purie of JMHM.

This gelding boasts a mark of 2:09 1-4. Then we have W. G. H, a brown gelding by Corey Kilvert, in the stable of Charles Hardie of Des Moines. This one has a mark in the 2:09 1-4 notch and is said to be a right good trotter, Tolus Boy, a black son of Bonnie Tolus, has been competing on the big rings this year and was beaten a nose in 2:061-4 owned by C. D. Bell of Omaha. He is sired by Gold Bin gen and looks like a "comer." Another Omaha owned entry and one above the ordinary, is Liberty Silk, a chestnut gelding by Bingen Silk, bwned by George Brandeis. This colt is now 4 years old and has been right up at the finish in around 2:10 this year. Large Entry List. One of the outstanding entries in this event, so far as is possible to judge from the "dope" at hand, is Rodney Ingolsbce, a bay gelding by Ingolsbee. also owned in Kansas, This gelding is a half-brother to Star Boy Igolsbee the fast pacer formerly owned by Ed Peterson of Omaha. He has been racing good so far this year and his owner recently refused an offer of $4,000 for him. He won the 2:20 pace at Lincoln last Wednes day handily in 2:10 and should be a hard one to beat if he starts here this week. Feature Race of Meet. The free-for-all pace, for a purse of $1,200. the real feature race ot the entire meeting, is scheduled for the fourth day. Six fast wigglers a-t entered in this tvent, and from pres ent indications at least four of them will face the starter. Hal Mahone, 2:01, owned by George Brandeis of Omaha, and ln the stable of Marvin Child?, has the lowest mark of the bunch, but some of the others are right on his tail with time tabs. Minerva Gentry has a mark of 2:M'A, Main Direct carries a winrace of 2:0414, Johnnie Quirk is in the 2:0!J4 notch, while Jim B sports a mark of 2:02 ',4, and Red Lancelot is marked at 2:02'i Hal Malone and Johnnie Quirk have hitched up a number of times this season on the grand cir cuit and fought it to a fminh, Johnnie chasing the speedv son of Prince Argot 1 1 itl out to the limit in almost every instance. In a race where the horses are to evenly matched as in this one the smallrit break in lurk may mean a great drat at the finish.

' ' By Inlrrnatlonal Nrwl Srrvirr. Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 9. Golfers on the municipal links have just come into their own through the aid of Superintendent of Parks George W Burke and Magistrate Tcisard Dcwolf of morals court. A perni cious practice by cadffies and other bad boys has been stopped. Since the season opened this year golfers who hit the ball out of sight or off the course have been obliged to say "Good-bye" to those balls. But in a few minutes the caddies or some other kid would sell the "lost" ball back to the golfer fan for 10 -cents. Superintendent Burke declares that a lot of boys hid in the bushes or tall grass and grabbed -them over and over again. It developed into a thriv ing business and a costly nuisance. Henceforth all sellers of balls will be arrested if they cannot prove an honest title to same. Golfers buying stolen balls will be barred from the links. "And anybody brought before me in this connection I'm going to give a maximum sentence," said the magistrate. Wrestling Season Open in New York Sept. 18 New York, Sept. V. (Special.)
