Ak-Sar-Ben Holiday Offering Lures Field of Seven to Post AK-SAR-BEN, Omaha, Neb., May 29. The Ak-Sar-Ben management is more than satisfied with the results of the first two days of racing with the weather being the worst it could be for the racing fans enjoyment and with the racing strip deep in mud. Attendance has held up surprisingly well. Snow fell during the last three races on Wednesdaywith a cold wind accompanying it. The sun came out today and it promises a good day for the running of the Memorial Day program of eight races. . One of the best cards that it was possible to assemble owing to the tracks condition is carded for tomorrows sport. The feature event will be the sixth on the card and appropriately named the Memorial Day Handicap. Seven of the best horses stabled on the grounds capable of running on an "off" track have been named to compete in this mile and seventy yards event. Top weight has been assigned Green Bush who runs coupled with Tilting as the F. D. Rice entry. Green Bush has turned in some very good races during his campaign in California and should have little trouble with a field of this sort despite his impost of 117 pounds, five more than his closest rival will have. The field for the feature event is rounded out with Valdina Infant, Toy-Quay, Master Bird, Namur and Kowa King.
