The decision not to continue today was reached following a conference late last night by county authorities and the local track management. Whether the meeting will be opened later depends upon a court decision which will be rendered following a hearing tomorrow morning. General manager S. S.

Deputy sheriff John Sellars has acted in behalf of the sheriff during the latters absence. Sheriff Bollinger is expected to return tomorrow. The name of Judge W. E.
