Tne June tr0ttng meeting at the Narraganset
Park commences tomorrow, and Judging from the
numerous entries for the purses given by the asso-
clation fine sport and fast time Will be witnessed by
all who attend. The new rules will be enforced
at the Narraganset Park. and the owners
and drivers who have tendency to play 'Iast
and loose, on the trottlng track had bet
ter be careful at this meeting, for the
slightest infrachon from the rule Of right will be
summarily punished. Narraganset Park is and has
always been the rectifying establishment Of the trot
ting turf; but this year the managers intend to be
more strict than ever, and wherever the slightest
villany shows itself punishment will quickly
follow. The secretary OF the association is q
sharp detective, and 1t will be dangerous
to attempt any sharp practice when he Is
about. The new rules have not been strictly en-
forced, we regret to say on some OF our trotting
tracks this season, and several fagran wrongs have
been permitted to go unpunished; but we repeat
that they must not be attempted at Narraganset, or
horse driver and will get their tic keOfeave
for the future.

Ethan Allen bays are l0king we'll. The Commodore
is noted for having an elegant as well as speedy
turnout. His present team stylish and can trot in
$780,
Mr.. George woodward is driving the best team he
has owned for some tine.
Belle Strickland andmate have been driven single
lately, but without slYwmg much speed. They go
best together, and make great team.

"smthereens."
Mr.. Ohtwlne's team of grays are good ones-true,
kind and speedy

mile in thirty-six seconds the other day.
Mr.. Moutons stlsh and handsome turnout
attracted much attention. The team consists of the
gray stallion Bill antmae Bill is one of the proud
est looking horses tat can be hooked up, and sets
Off his equipments perfection. His finely formed
head, arched neck Md majestic bearing show him
to be high-bred ANIMAL, while he is as gentle as
lamb, to which he unites the valuable quality of
speed, having recod Of 2:4O.
Mr.. Harvey's brown horse is one OF the speedy
kind, and though he has never trotted for dollar
and has no record, pod Judges suspect him to be
equal to 2:30, from hs having brushed and beaten
some of the best-slch as Lady Wells Robin, &c.
Mr.. Hart's pair Of black Shetland ponies, Of his
own Importation attract attention in Prospect Park
from their dininutiv size and original Simon pure
appearance. Speed not claimed for these animals,

Brooklyn road horses Those that Will be sure to
start are MIR. Gouds Bhck Crook, Mr.. Paysons Tom
Breeze, Mr.. Netcher's Robin. Mr.. Robinson's Gray

These will beyond doubt make good race as all the
horses are speedy, and2:35 will be made not
beaten by those who Ire sure to start There is
frequently more intebst in Q trot between
road horses when evenly matched than con-
test among regular track horses, and commonly
less jockeying and nickery. The management Of
Prospect Park Fair Grounds have acted wisely in
abolshing the extra dollar charged for seats on the
Grand Stand for their Saturday entertainments.
| From the first opening Of the Fair Grounds this
| extra charge has been regarded unfayorably, and
| led to considerable feeling among the public who
generally thih that the track would profit by making
no extra charge TOT the Grand stand on any occasion
