Kennel Club members, dog racing
enthusiasts and the committee living
charge of the arrangement* of the
I I’lnleti Marathon are congtiitulnting
I themselves today on the good weather
yt xtenlay which made the race possi
ble and enabled the racers to make
such remarkably fine time, Over
thirteen miles an hour is going some
and is believed to beat all previous
records over a measured course when
official timers held the watches.
As a result of the successful out
come of the Borden Marathon great
ir’nnst has been arousd in the com
ing Solomon lVrhy which is fixed for
Saturday. March 3. This race wlil
be over a course twice as long and
will put a different kind of test up
tr both drivers and dogs. Judging by
past performances. the increased
I sltrength in some kennels, anil all
| sorts of dog dope, the race enthusiasts
have already begun to make predic
tions and there are likely to be more
wagers than were made on the Borden
Marathon though there was some ac
tion obtained on the outcome of that
event. In betting on dog races there
is always the uncertain element of
weather and trail for one type of dogs
I will put it all over the opposite type
on a heavy trail and in bad weather.
Word has been received by tele
phone that the Cole, Pollester party
expects to reach Solomon tomorrow
\ night and Nome on Sunday.

DREAM FEATURE TONIGHT.
The Dream presents a stirring pic
ture tonight entitled "For the Family
Honour.” The story is romantic and
extremely sensational. The ground
work of the picture is laid among a
band of desperate crooks and exposes
it beautiful girl's startegy under many
'.tying clrcusmatnces. She is made
the dupe of a counterfeit nobleman,
who bends her to his will on every
possible occasion, using her brother
aa a pretext to strengthen his *il
llany. Through his heroic efforts,
however, the unscrupulous criminal is
at last uncovered, and like all villians
he meets a just, if terrible, reward.
