NOME HEXNEL CLUB .MEETS
A rows ng annual meeting was
called to order Thursday in the
City Hall by past president A. Pol
et in the absence of Chas. Code,
president who was unavoidably de
tained by other duties.
After the adoption of the min
utes from the last annual meeting
the usual proceedure to nominate at
large was declared In order.
The following were nominated:
Wm. Cameron, N. Strand, Fred
Rohn, Lyman Breiwster, A1 Carey,
Howard Lyng, Lars Rynning, Ed
Steffens, Leroy Snllivan, Allan Lee
and Dr. O. A. Braafladt.
Nominations will again be opened
at the next adjorned meeting to be
held in the City Hall on n$xt Mon
day evening, 8 p.m., January 16th.
It will be necessary to elect five
cl rectors rrom the number nom- ]
inated. Afterward the new board
will select the officers from their
number and may if they wish elect
secretary and treasury without the
Board.
Plans for the coming year were
discussed and explained .to the
membership. The Nugget publish
ed in detail, last October, the new
plan of flnanc'ng the large pool
which is expecfed to be raised. It
is also expected that the new plan
will enable to ofTer larger prizes
than ever before for the epic of
North. .
The All Alaska Sweepstake Race,
run from Nome to .Golovin and re
turn has the attention and interest
of the clean port loving public of
the world. Steps were taken last
October to launch this plan in the
states. Dr. O. A. Braafladt has
this campaign in charge and re
ports that an organization has been
perfected and connection made
that soon progress'-‘Should j,e re^
ported.
The plan is that the membership
fee to the Nome Kennel Club 1S
$1.00 per year open to everyone
and anyone may purchase as many
memberships as they desire.
All the money realized by this
popular plan will be divided as
follows: 60 percent of this fund
will be devoted to prize money
and administrative expenses. The
o her fifty percent will constitute
the Nome Kennel Club pool to be
awarded to the, lucky holders of
the S wlnn ng numbers to be drawn
on the closing night of the North
western Alaska Tair on April 7th
at the Eagle hall, Nome, Alaska..
All coupons returned to Nome on
or before that date will participate
In this opportunity to win a large
pool.
The pool to. be divided as fol
lows: 50 percent, first prize; 30
percent, second; 20 percent, third.
Undoubtedly the new Board will
adopt the old time guessing con
test and the minute and second
pools which will add considerably
to swell tile prize money for the
'race.
¥
It is expected that plans will be
d'scussed for the immediate be
ginning of the racing season, as
these short races are very import
ant toward developing dogs for the
long races.
