The Yuba Birds will tonight hold
their dance in A. B. Hall, beginning
promptly at o'clock. The Nome
orchestra will furnish the music
and a good time is assured.
Specials, consisting of a prixa
waltz and Kangaroo Court, will be
part of the unusual features offered
during the evenings entertainment.
Prizes will he awarded the best
wait zero and what the Kangaroo
Court holds for its victims remains
to be seen. The officers in charge
of the Court promise amusing devel
opments. The Yuba Mfg. Company
has declared today a holiday in
honor of the Yuba Chc'echako Dog
race and the boys will come to town
to participate in the festivities of the
occasion. Judging from the enthus
iasm being shown the A. B. Hall
will be crowded tonight.

Despite the forty decrees of freez
ing and the wicked wind blowing,
the Ladies* Dor Race scheduled for
Sunday afternoon, bust, was run, ac
cording to arrangements, and a
hplendid showing was made by the
ladies entered. The weather con
ditions were such that it would have
been a severe test for weather-hard
ened men. hut the brave ladu*s were
to be bluffed hv a little hardship,
as they expressed it. and insisted
upon running- the rare, weather con
ditions. much advice and many ad
monitions to the contrary, notwith
One of the most interesting feat
ures of the race was that the time
consumed in making the loop by the
ladies was considerably less than
that made by the men over the same
course on Fob. 4th.. last. In the
Mon’s Race. Sep pa la's team was the
winner, making the round-trtp in
133:58 with Cameron's team finish
ing i-n second place with a running
; time of 35:23.
In the Ladies’ Race last Sunday.
Mrs. L. W. Mattilla won first place
with the team of Al. Carey, making
the course in the sensational time
of 31:38 minutes, regardless of the
wind, weather and hard trail, which
was almost glare ice. Mrs. Ruth1
Cameron, driving friend husband’* ]
honorable pups, has, by her accom-;
plishment of the course In 35:17,,
enured a blush of «hamo and defeat [
to spread over the face of her dough
ty spouse whenever the subject of
dog-driving is under discussion. Mrs. j
Ellen Weaver, driving her own team ,
won third place, which was only
four seconds less than the time con
sumed in winning first place in the .
Men’s Race of Feb. 4th.
The fun of the race was somewhat
lessened by one accident, which— !
though bad enough.—fortunately!
was not serious. Mrs. E. J. Gorman j
driving Seppala’s team, ran over a j
tailings pile, was thrown from the j
sled and dragged some distance, sus- j
tai-ning severe an dpainful bruises, :
though we are happy to state that
from the last reports of the lady’s
condition, we may hope to see her
out doors again in a few days. This
charming lady’s chief regret, is not
the bruises, but her inability to fin
: ish the race. which caused her mor*
suffering. mentally, than her bruises,
cuts and contusions caused her to
suffer physically.
.Miss Bertha Carlson and Mrs. Don
Miller did not flniish the race. Many
theories have been advanced as to
why this happened, but ye scribe
holds the opinion that these charm
ing drivers did not lay down a suffic
ient barrage of explosive “lang
widge." withcrut which i< is univer
sally admitted, no dog team can be
successfully handled in any race or
otherwise.
The charming drivers with their
respective running times, follow:

So much Interest has been aroused
by this the second Ladies Race of
the Winter, it Is brtleved that a
third race will be arranged later In
the season, and some of the 1 adieu
entered in the race of last Sunday
predict that they wMl atill further
reduce the running time, and cover
the male drivers with etill more
shame, and themselves with glory.
