PLANS FOR RACKS
«v '
The Nome Kennel Club had an
enthusiastic meeting last Tues- .
day evening, according to reports
from I)r. Braafl-adt, and it was
decided to hold the Ail-Alaska
Sweepstake races op/ April 4th
and r.th. The course of the race
will be from Nome to Golovin via
White Mountain, and the prize
V
money will be five hundred dol
lars as first prize, two hundred
and fifty dollars as second prize
dnd one hundred dollars as third.
Among other business of the
evening an election was held tfnd
the follow'ng members of the
Kennel Club were chosen as their
officers to take charge of all act
ivities: Dr. O. A. Braafladt,
President: Miss Bertha Rainbow,
Secretary and Joe Crabtree, HI
Dili, Fred Rohn and E. J. Beck
as directors.
me sale or the All-Alaska
Sweepstake tickets is progressing
very well and the outlying dis
tricts are supporting the races in
good shape. The Kennel Club ex
pects to sell two thousand tickets
or more and the big drawing will
be held at the Kennel Club Carn
ival iu the Eagle Hall shortly af
ter the races. The drivers of the
competing teams are all busy
trainin'g their teams in prepara
tion, and there will no doubt be
a large -number of teams making
u showing in this year’s events.
Eight' or ten teams wilK probably
come in from the outlying sec
tions and it is expected that this
year’s event will surpass all of
the races of - former years. For
one th'ng it will prove how the
breeding of the various types of
racing dogs has progressed since
the races were first started in
Nome some thirty year ago.
Nome has always been the lead
ihg and greatest dog-raclrig com
munity in the world, and the in
tense interest” of the country
should continue along this' line.
Tlte Nome Kennel Club makes a
very personal appeal to the people
of Nome' to slip port fli 1 s popular
and traditional sport, and with
the help -of- the community it is
bound to lie a success.
A few of the prospective driv
ers include A1 Carey. Fred and
Ed Rohln, Ernie Buckmaster, Pete
Olson. Dr. Braafladt, Pete Larson,
Alfred Kiggetulik, who was the.
All-Alask.i Sweepstakes winner
in 1932 witli a running time of
fifteen hours and fifteen minutes,
Fred Topcock, who was last years
winner of the Solomon Derby,
and a number of others who will
probably come in from Deering,,
Kotzebue. Colovin and White
Mountain.
