PREPARING FOR THE COWBOY RACE.

Will Leave June 13 According to the Programme
Already Laid Out.

CHADRON, Neb., May 27.- Riders in the
cowboy race are coming in and are beginning
to make preparations for the start by
teaching horses to lead and exercising them.
The management have requested the local
branch of the humane society to appoint a
representative to accompany the riders.
Every rider will be required to give a written
agreement to use no cruelty to his
horses, the violation of which will forfeit his
interest and place in the race. A number
will drive through in carriages and two men,
Robert Zuver and James Boyd, will go
ahead on bicycles. The race will start on
June 13 according to programme. The report
from Denver stating that the race had
been declared off is without any foundation
whatever.
