It is important to intending exhibitors to know that Rule '24 says:â€"â€"”All en- tries must be made on or before Sat- urday, Sept. 2:2.” This will save the secretary considerable trouble and prevent a rush later on, when all the 'tfme is needed for other work. A Fnumbel‘ of ccpies of the prize list are 'still on hand, and may be had by ap- plying to the secretary. From the long list of prizes offered and the Speeding attractions of the second day there seems no reason why this exhibition should not equal, or even excel. any of those held .in previous years. The test of speed for Farm Horses, for which the purse is $25, and the open race test, for a purse of $100.00, will be well contested, and we expect to see some good horses on the track. We hope to see everyone within a radius of ten miles present. and many others from ~,eyond that limit. This is our own local, let it be well patronized. . FROM “ The Rocky Mountain Echo,” published at Pincher Creek, we clip the following obituary notice of the late Robert Bull :-â€"It is our sad duty this week to have to chronicle the death of Mr. R.
