Notes of the Track from the Early Racing Meeting
The first race winner earned the first prize for owner W F Walter of Queen L while second went to Fuit ting owned by W J Stanfield. Winning jockeys included McDonald and Lee with Olberville Romero and Collis noted. Timekeepers were Dan Dennison and W B Link Jr as the Butte Driving Club planned a matinee. W B Cross, ex Chicago Racing Form, officiated as caller and spectators heard his calls. Debate rages over recall flag use with supporters and opponents split on its value and coast practice. The System slows starts but is relied on for cohesion. An orchestra played in the grand stand as the American race closed.
