DOG RACE
DEVELOPS
GREAT
INTEREST
At no time since the first rac
ing team sped over the Sweep
stakes route has a contest devel
oped a greater interest than tha:
which is now in progress. In
spite oi adverse trail conditions
the five entries are all making ex
cellent time and the end of the
first twenty four hours found
them well up to the speed marks
of last year. At 7:32 this morn
ing, both Ayer ami Deizene, on
arriving at Haven, were but thir
ty two minutes behind the twen
ty two hours mark set by Allan
in the 1915 race. The others, w ith
the exception of Kjegstcu, were
also close up to the mark. Seppala
arrived one mintue after the lead
.s at 7:33 and two minutes later
Brown also landed. Brown and
Ayer arrived at Council last night
at 5:43 with their dogs in good
shape and everything fine. At
5 ;54 Seppela pulled in and eleven
minutes later Deizene also showed
up. Kjegsted who had fallen
slightly behind in the furious
drive to Timber, did not appear
until 6:33. Ayer stopped for eleven
minutes and again set his face
toward the north. Four minutes
later Seppala sped after the lead
er and was followed by Browm
one minute later. The stay of Dei
zene was also short and three min
utes afjr arrival he was again
on the long trail. Between Coun
cil and Boston, Ayer gained twen
ty minutes on his nearest oppon
ents, Seppala and Delze'ne. The
time of Ayer up to this point was
two hours and nine minutes faster
than that of Allan in the race of
*915. Ayer arrived at 8:21 and
twenty minutes later Seppala and
Deizene also appeared. Brown
followed four minutes afterward
but Kjegsted did not get through
until an hour later, arriving there
fit 9:45
Hie running time of the five
teams up to this point, 104 miles
from tfie starting point was as
Idilo.rfs: Ayer 11:21, Seppala
11:41 , Deizene 11:41, Brown,
11:45, Kjegsted 12:45. Ayer,
Brown ami Deizene rested out
the other two continued on. After
a stop over of six and a quarter
hours Brown again struck out at
3 a. m. Ayer waited but little
longer, hitting the trail at 3:24.
Nmetetn minutes later Ueizene
started. With dogs refreshed by
#tneir rest tlie instance oetween
.uoston anu rish iviver, six nines
or so was quickly covered. Brown
arrived at 3:50, 18 hours fifty min
utes out from Nome. Five min
utes after Brown passed, Seppala
who had rested there for slightly
over six hours again struck out.
Ayer passed the station at 4:06
and Deizene at 4:16, Kjedsted
who had also rested at this point,
departed after the leaders at 4:40
Although the leaders had depart
ed from Fish Kiver at separated
intervals they arrived at Haven
140 miles from Nome within three
minutes of each other. Ayer and
Deizene by a hard drive had over
come the start of Brown and land
ed at 7:32 a. m., 22:32 minutes
out from Nome. One minute
later Seppala appeared and two
ihinutes later Brown arrived. De
spite the unfavorable trail con
ditions all four were within thirty
five minutes of the best time last
year.
The going had been hard and
Ayer, Brown and Deizene stopped
for periods ranging from forty
minutes to over an hour, but Sep
pala passed on after a stop of ten
minutes. Brown started again at
8:17 and was foliow'ed by Ayer at
8:46 and Deizene at 8:50. Kjed
sted arrived after the others had
left, at 9:01. Ayer and Brown
both speeded up and arrived in
Gold Run, thirty six miles farther
on, at 1:50, one minute behind
Seppala who had driven straight
through. Deizene arrived eleven
minutes later. One hour and
twenty minutes behind the latter
came Kjedsted at 3 :ai. Up to the
hon of going to press the teams
had all departed on the last leg of
ihc journey to Candle.
NEWS NOTES
The outsule mail left Solomon
on the last stage of its journey at
eight thirty this morning The
consignment consists ot about the
limit weight ot which .two sacks
arc reported to be tirst class mat
ter. As the trails are in fair con
dition. despite a slight amount of
snow this morning the consign
ment should arrive before this ap
pears.
The Miners Home club held
their weekly card social last even
ing with the usual large attend
ance. Twenty tables were set
for the whist players The win
ners in the ladies division were
Mrs. Bruner. Mrs. A. W. Mayer1
and Mrs. \V. H. Koch. The for
tunate ones among tile men were
W. H- Sturtevant, Harold Lund
burg and Chas. Wolf
The continued warm spell is
fast making the trails difficult for
freighting and has also made some
of the back streets almost impas
sable to horse teams. A slight
freeze last night stiffened things
up a bit but the effets were soon
lost under the morning sun. A
slight increase of temperature will
probably have the effect of mail
ing the streets so soft that foot
travel will be difficult.
Everything is "dog” at present
and the bulletin boards in the var
ious resorts are a great object of
attention. Owing doubtless to
l.ie teams running ;so close to
gether a large crowd remained
on duty all last night watching for
the first signs of a change in the
positions. To all appearances file
race is as much an attraction to
the average Nomeite as have
been those of earlier years.
Until one today the weather
along the Sweepstakes course was
reported generally favorable but
at that hour reports from Candle
disclosed that it was storming
heavily ana the trails very heavy
with new snow. The storm ap
parently came up with sunrise as
Candle reported a light wind and
snowfall at 3 45 this morning- At
the same hour it was frosty at
Gold Run with the thermometer
at zero but a light wind was blow
ing.

for the ladies dog race will close
Friday evening at six o’clock and
the drawing for positions will be
held at 8 p. m. on the same day.
The race will be over the Ft.
Davis course and will-start at two
p. m. brom all accounts there
will be a considerable number of
entries as the ladies are said to be
very enthusiastic. The contest is
given by the Rose Candy store
and handsome prizes have been
offered. The prizes are on ex
hibition in the windows of the
Rose establishment
1 he trial of the gambling cases
