The Spirit of The West, published at
Des Moines, Iowa, has tbe following to
esyia regard to our race meeting: The
remarkable raes masting of the year in
Nebraska closed August 8 on the Colum
bus Driving Club's track. It waa re
markable, beoaase the 'fastest time made
on the Nebraska circuit taia year waa
cored ia two races. In the 2.46 pace
Fred Robere'e good horse, Spill, made
the aula ie 3:10 fiat. In the 2:32 pace J.
Earyn'e Dick Allsa paced the fastest
mile paced this year in the United States
in the 3:23 class. The official time was.
3:15j aad maay private watches made
it less. This was the first meeting con
ducted by the Columbus Driving Club,
and it was a saooees ia every way. Ten
thousand people attended the four-day
amstiag, and the receipta were sufficient
to pay all purses fn full and leave a big,
cash balance is the treasury. Ths sixty
foot track was nsw, bat the visiting
horsemen pronounced it excellent, snd
predicted that with a Utile age it will
become the star track in Nebraska.
Especially pleased were tbe horse own
ers with the magnificent stable accomo
dations, and .with the courteous treat
ment accorded them by the Colambua
management. Before leaving the citv
Friday evening a large number of the
horsemen called in a body on Secretary
Speioe and President Robinson to ex
press thanks for treatment received, and
also to give assurance that they would
certainly get ia early ia UeCoIumbas
entries for next year. Tim management
was fortunate in ensuring the services of

everything claimed for it A lssjge
number of the representative citizens of
Columbus were present, and all seemed
satisfied as to the merits of the machine.
TbepropositioH to establish the factory
was submitted to our business mee, the
condition being the subscribing of $16,
000 worth of stock for the right to sell
in five states and ateo to equip and oper
ate the factory, Messrs biggins and
Mspleot Schuyler who are interested in
the company, were present, aad spoke
very highly of what had beea done to
wards placing the machine on the mar
ket ia this section. One of the reasons
advfnoed for Columbus eecuring tbe fac
tory was tbe shippiag facilities and the
location here would place the manufac-
tnrinff nlant in the center of tbe terri
tory where tbe product is used, thereby
making s big saving in freeght charges
and insuring prompt delivery.

Of late a number of complaints have
been made on account of the Platte
bridge being impeccable for an ordinary
load of grain. In speaking of this s
Colambas business man eaid that this
city waa loosing a large amount of grain
because of this, to say nothing of what
our merchants would be benefited, aad
also that the grain market here had
been an inducement for trade outside of
tbta territory to' come here. No doubt
those having this matter in charge are
doing all they can to have the bridge
put in repair, as it now comes ander tbe
nrovisionsof snew lsw.and a mistake
on their part might result in Platte
county having to foot the entire bill, in-
steaa or tne eounues oi trow ana oauw
paying their ahare. It is not the desire
of Tbe Journal to criticise anyone In
the matter, but merely call attention to
it, so that perhaps some of those inter
ested might be sole to render eorae as
sistsnee in getting the matter strsigLtea
ed out snd the bridge at least repaired.
