'
[ From Thursday's Dnlly. ]
' Norfolk greeted the races with n
' - splendid flrst day crowd. And thoraces
races were in every way worthy of the
crowd.
The flrst day of the Norfolk racing
meet , the flrst day of racing for the
North Nebraska Short Shipment rac
ing circuit , came to Norfolk Wednes
day afternoon with a sunlit sky , sprln-
i Itled with fluffy clouds and fanned with
a gentle breeze from the west. The
weather man sent his best wishes for
the race and Norfolk with her races
proved that the good wishes wcro mer
ited.
ited.The
The first day crowd at the Norfolk
driving track Wednesday afternoon
set an encouraging record for the rac
ing association. Before the flag had
dropped for the flrst race the grand
stand was filled with people out for
the old time "sport of the kings" and
the paddock lined with a stretch of
carriages. The quarter-stretch enthu
slasts held their own and the race
watchers formed a crowd that in size
and enthusiasm put to shame the rep
resentation at last year's opening day
in Norfolk and held something of
promise for the future of racing in
the city.
The track was a trifle heavy when
tb horses entered on the initial heat
but the wind that fanned across Mad'
ison county fields hardened the track
as the afternoon wore on. Soft ground
next the pole from the rain of the
evening previous made long miles.
At 2:40 : o'clock M. M. Sorenberger ,
official starter , sounded the gong to
call forth the horses for the 2:35 : class
trotters , the flrst race of the 1907
lx North Nebraska racing season.
The Norfolk band was at the tracl
and strains of lively band music mln
gled with the usual joyful noises of the
race course.
Judges for the Wednesday races
were J. A. Weller , Hadar ; J. H. Staf
ford , Coleridge ; E. B. Hanson , Tilden
The timers were D. D. Bruuson , Nor
folk ; M. H. McCarthy , O'Neill ; C. H
Vail , Omaha.

FIRST ECHOES ARE HEARD FROM
THE WESTERN RANGE.
LESS THAN IN OTHER YEARS
The Western Cattle Range Is Being
Invaded by the Homesteader and as
a Result Less Range Steers Arc
Sent to Market.
Cuttle trains from the western range
country are beginning to pass througl
Norfolk for the eastern market. For
some two weeks the first beginnings
of the 1907 stock movement have beei ;
in evidence.
As yet it Is only the flrst echoes o
the big annual cattle movement fron
the great nS'r'thwcst ' that is reaching
Norfolk , a few early trains of range
stuff headed for the Omaha and Chicago
cage markets. The stock movcmem
which has just started continues unti
November. It IB heaviest In October
With the big shipments at hand the
now year finds the Northwestern per
haps better able than usual to handle
the eastward stock movement. Bu
the stock business this year is no
expected to set a now record ; anioiif
men In touch with the situation the
shipments as a whole are not cxpectei
to equal last year's mark. The range
Is being cut up by the Invasion of the
homesteaders and a decrease In the
shipment of young stuff west In the
recent past will , It is said , show Its
effect in something of a lesser ship
mcnt east to market.

The Mitchell , S. D. , corn palace ,
which has become so successful dur
ing the past several years , is worthy
Norfolk's consideration , according to
the opinion of E. Wallerstedt , a prom
inent Norfolk commercial traveler.
Mr. Wallerstedt believes that Norfolk
would benefit greatly from such an In
stitution each fall and hopes that a
delegation of Norfolk business men
will visit Mitchell this summer to see
the corn pnlaco In active operation.
Although the event does not start un
til In September , the streets of Mitch
ell arc already lined with thousands
of electric lights , in preparation for
the harvest festival. The Institution
has been a winner for Mitchell , as
was pointed out by Mr. Wallerstedt
last year , and people who have seen
It and who know the territory around
Norfolk see no reason why ono equally
as successful could not bo established
hero.
