Horses and Riders Eger for
the Long Race to
Chicago.

WHO WILL BE THE WINNER ?

Cowboy race ! That's all you could hear in Chadron for the last week, and it still continues to be the leading topic of conversation. When the time arrived for the race to start Tuesday afternoon, crowds of pepole began to gather in the vicinity of the Blaine hotel.
The streets were filled with a struggling mass of humanity, anxious to get a look at the horses and men who were to take part in the greatest race of the kind ever attempted, while the roofs, windows and other points of advantage were prempted long before the start. In the hotel balcony sat members of the committee and Messrs. Fontaine and Tatro, of the humane society, looking down on the busy scene below. It was a great big crowd. There must have been close to 3, 000 people on the ground, and if the humane officers had not thought before that Chandron was interested in the cowboy race they must have thought so then.
