WEATHER MAN CALLS OFF THE
NORFOLK RACES.
O'NEILL NOW RACING CENTER
Norfolk , Rain Soaked With the Rest
of North Nebraska , Gives Up Last
Two Days of the Races , Ball Games ,
Balloons and All.
Race meet , hall tournament , balloon
ascension and street shows were all
washed away In a typical north Ne
braska rain which started about 3
o'clock Friday morning and continued
luring the day. At 8 a. m. .87 Inches
of water had been poured from the
sky.
sky.The
The rain was general over the
northwest , embracing all of the terri
tory under the direction of the North
western offices In Norfolk. To north
Nebraska the rain falling steadily
with never a sign of pause told of the
doom of the Norfolk races.
Norfolk race men , pleased with the
success of the first day's races and
what was stamped as a very encourag
ing opening of the north state racing
season , dreamed pleasant dreams of
a quarter stretch swarming with
thousands of race followers on the
morrow. And the "rain king , " having
pity in his heart for the havoc he
was to play , sent his storm up gently
not to rudely awaken the race promoters
meters with any violent clap of
thunder or rush of wind. So the Nor
folk racing world when It rubbed its
eyes Friday morning awoke to the
steady patter , patter , patter.
It was hardly necessary for the
Norfolk Driving club to announce
that the races for both Friday and
Saturday had been called off. The
rain told that to the north state coun
try. With the abandonment of the
races went the Norfolk-Humphrey and
the Norfolk-Spencer ball games , the
second balloon ascension , the public
marriage and all the other carnival
and race side delights.
O'Neill Next.
Norfolk , her race opening blocked
by rain , passes on the season's openIng -
Ing to O'Neill , where three splendid
days of racing are promised Wednes
day , Thursday and Friday of the com
ing week. O'Neill ' has made elabor
ate plans for the week.
There were suggestions made Fri
day that the Norfolk races be held
later in the season but it is very un
likely that a second attempt will be
made this year.
The Driving club was unable to an
nounce Its exact financial status Fri
day morning as the result of losing
the two biggest days of the racing.
The treasury has been In good con
dition , however , and it was said that
.the results would not be disastrous.
Ship Horses to O'Neill.
By Friday noon many of the racers
which have been stabled In Norfolk
wore on board Northwestern cars
ready to be shipped to O'Neill for the
O'Neill races.
