March v ? r r v the evening, Joseph T. Finlinson, Leamington, Patriarch C. R. Woodbury, Wood-bury, Hinckley, Anthony Stephenson, Stephen-son, Delta, and John Henry Western, West-ern, Deseret, gave short talks. Peter Pet-er Black, Delta and Jeff Finlinson, II ospital Benefit Races Wrestlers and Riders have a lot in common. They both hold grudges grudg-es and issue challenges. From the racing event of March 7 come more challenges and friendships of many years are balanced in the saddles! Weather permitting, Saturday, March 21, 2:00 p.m. all eyes and ears will be tuned to Deseret to witness the second racing meet staged by the West Millard Riding Club. The first race will be a "Grudge" race between Jim Peterson, Gene Owens, Austin Johnson, and Ned Teeples. These four will be racing for a i mile on 1st and 2nd place winners of the first race. After the dust settles, Ray Brown, Butch Talbot, Dean Talbot, Clead Teeples and Goldwyn Cluff, Sr., will be at the starting gate to take off on the 38 mile race. An invitation or challenge is issued is-sued by Ralph Curtis and Grant Peterson to anyone to join them in the next event, 18 mile race. Open mustang race for 18 mile is scheduled next. Speed Riding and Grant Hardy have spoken to each other through an interpreter just long enough to arrange the next grudge race of 38 mile. Peck Kelly and Frank Lyman got word of this race and decided that the two of them would just join in that race and show Speed and Grant a thing or two about riding horses. That race promises' to be another friendship buster. The relay team of Ray Brown, Clead Teeples, Austin Johnson and Cluff Talbot spoke to each other just long enough to come up with this challenge, "We can beat any combination of riders found in the whole flat." Any takers? In the Vj mile open race, one will find Eb Stapley, Rex Day, Bob Oppenheimer at the starting gate. It is hoped that the three will drink a toast to their friendship as this could very well be the end of it. If there are any girls wanting to race, they should be lined up and ready to go right after the mile open race. Van Warnick and Ned Teeples will be chomping at the bit to find any one brave enough to race them in a car again. You'd think that after the shellacking that Van took from the hands of Frank Baker during the last race he'd be content to just watch other races. He is still yelling "Foul." The racing event is under the direction of Ray Brown, Clifford Adams and Van Warnick. All donations do-nations taken at the gate go to the West Millard Hospital Association.
