The amusement-loving people of Salt Lake and vicinity will be given a full day's sport on Washington Square next Friday, the 6th inst. This will probably prove the last of the outdoor pastimes this' seasonas cool weather is drawing near; consequently a very large attendance attend-ance is anticipated. All arrangements have been completed for a grand novelty race between several of our long and short distance runners of the Territory. In connection with the races the Ogden Athletic base ball team will meet the Salt Lake boys in a wind-up game, for an excellent purse. Other sports will take place, but the most interesting - of all will be the novelty race. In this contest any number of good, rapid runners can enter. The course is 300 yards lone, with a station sta-tion at 100 yards and another at the two hundred yard stake, and a third at the outcome at the end of the course. There will be three good purses made up of -a per cent, of the gate receipts, contributions contribu-tions and the entry pooL Whichever man reaches the 100-yard station in the lead gets the first purse, and so on with the remaining two stations. Several runners are here from other places, among whom are Reese, Mathias and Clark, who will have to meet Tibbetts, of Salt Lake. Entries are open to all Salt Lake' runners,- and the winner will challenge Reed or Wright, of Ogden, for a good round sum. |
