MONTANA FAIR AND RACING CIRCUIT. The Montana Fair and Bacing Circuit, which was organized at Helena Saturday, with It. D. Steele, of Bozeman, as president, and D. A. Galbreath, of Butte, as secretary-treasurer, will embrace the following cities of Montana: Butte, Helena, Anaconda. Great Falls. Lewiston, Billings, Livingston, Missoula, Kallspeil and Bozeman. At Butte there will be two weeks racing. At the other points one week each. The season will open at Butte on July 30, and extend through to October 10, at Kallspeil. The total value of the purses to be offered will be 25,-000. The same racing officials are to act at all meetings, aud as there will be no conflict in dates great savings can be effected by stable owners through combining their shipments. The circuit includes the Montana State Fair at Helena, October 1. The board of directors are authorized to employ track officials for the association, and will act soon. It is thought the prolonged season and large purses will result in attracting splendid stables to the state.
