THE TURF.
THE DEXTER PARK JULY HEETM1.
Tho advent Of bright, eunny weather has been
hailed with peculiar satisfaction by the tnrfmen
at Dexter Park, who have been seriously hindered
by the backward spring in training and working
their horses, in preparation for the July meet
ing. Now the business Of getting ready will be-
gin in earnest, and the ensuing month will be
lively one. The same frightened condition of
things enables tho Dexter Park Association to
proceed with many important improvements on
the track ind appurtenances. The running course
is being Strengthened, widened, and graded, 50
that it may be drained as efYectually as
the trotting track, which is now in 6ne
order, being considered much "faster" aud
better than ever before. 4 new stand for the
Judges and reporters is to be constructed. It
will be placed about 100 feet south Of the pres
ent stand, thus giving longer stretch for the
send-on before the first turn il reached. This
will be Of great value in getting away after the
word is giren.- a considerable portion Of the
southern end Of the grand stand is to bo eet
apart for the occupancy Of ladies- It will be
comfortably fitted up, and, In connection with
