Orial was published in which was stated

Preparations for Big Sport.
LEXINGTON, ky, October 20.-There y
Is now an immense crowd at the Pho I
nix hotel of this city, and the pool ?
sellers are surrounded by crowds OF n
srge purchasers among whom are Wis
itors from every part of the Union,
who have come to be present at the 6
races which are to come off this week )
under the auspices of the Kentucky
Trotting-Horse Breeders association.
The subject Of selling pools on the tracb
WAS this evening, by special request, u
brought formally before the association
for discussion, and it was decided that
1t stall be allowed. The first step has v
been taken in an enter Il
prise which will result in great benefit
lot only to the association but to the
whole country, and we doubt if any
young enterprise of the kind has ever ,
5 arted under more auspicious circum- +
stances. The races will last for five O
DAYS, from the twenty-first to the twen II
ty-sixth instant, inclusive. The track 6
IS now in fine condition, and magnifi- y
cent sport is confidently expected and n
will certainly be realized. I
