Show A NEW RACE TRACK I is Badly Needed and Should at Once be Made To the Editor of TIE HEUALD Noticing an article in one of our daily papers about the building of a new race rack and their informant seeming to be veil posted on the subject as he launches forth in language more forcible than elegant ele-gant and terms the sports of our hamlet a lot of suckers it is better to agree wid im as the Irishman said than to bring further maledictions upon our heads There is more truth than poetry in some of his remarks re-marks as there has been a gang in possession pos-session of the racing privileges here for ho last four or > five years When the leading men of the town took hold some six years ago we had a very good meeting But since then things have gone to tho dogs a it were gone to the hogs would be more appropriate as a bigger lot of descendants of the swine tribe have seldom been seen than those wliom itwas our misfortune to encounter at the last two or three meetings Of course there were some honest men among them there is honor at times even among Rogues We have had a couple of good men too at the head of the association but whenever horsemen put their heads together gether it is goodbye races and it takes a shrewd one to be onto them As Sal vator says a good mile track is needed and as we must have some recourse in case fraud and trickery are resorted to an association as-sociation track is just the thing Here we will have them where the nigger had the coon up a stump I The first man to make a break rule him oil not for a month or a year but for life and let him be debarred de-barred from privileges on every track in the union That is the way t fix them 1 Then they will come to time and there will be no more robs and no more chance for outsiders to have the laugh on us Wear We-ar game they admit according to Sal vator and this is some consolation When we wake up we will show them we are a pretty lively corpse They may have had a regular Irish wake over us in the past but there will be no funeral for we will organize before the fall h is lapsed and in tim spring will show them that though they did carry off from twenty to thirty thousand year our old jeans are still in the ring and the ring is still in them We will keep it there too till we see a square deal ahead and then from their bottomless depths we will roll forth the glittering spondulix and show them that the dead has come to life again I is to be hoped that those interested inter-ested will now take hold and give us a track and an association worthy of our city now growing so rapidly We must have some recreation and where can you find a better place to recreate than watching a good square horse race All pull together and give us a good spring meeting JACK |
