ace R; Very, A. T.. Richardson. George +. Very,

Considerable time and expense have been laid
out in fitting up the grounds this season. The
track, which was rendered uneven and rough BY
the irosts OF last winter, has been regarded and
rolled, and is now in better condition than ever
before. 1t has been the aim Of the directors TO
fit up the park so that 1t shall be an attractive
place of resort for gentlemen who wish to exer-
else their horses, and make comparative tests of
speed. Season tickets for the use of the track
will he sold TO parties who wish them, on appl-
cation to the secretary. There is very good
field for base ball playing inside the track, and
it is 10 be hoped that two profe sional mines can
be induced to come here some time during the
season and play Il championship game. Such
an exhibition would undoubtedly pay, as there
are plenty of people in the city who would glad
ly patronize it.

on Saturday afternoon which will be tree to the
public. There will he several trots between
horses owned by members OF the association,
and MIR. Geo. Wesson will exhibit the PAGES of
his three years old colt "Womder," which has
excited such interest among horse fanciers by
the fast time he has already made. Mr.. John
Russell of Leicester has also consented to eX-
hibit his thoroughbred stallion 'Priyateer"
which is one of the finest horses in this part of
the country. The attractions will be of such
nature that "A large attendance Will doubtless be
present at this opening day of the season.
