Brilliant snort ut Lexington Next
Week-Tom Bowling ON the Cards
for Two Races.
LEXINGTON, KY, May S.-There is every
prospect that the races TO come of here
next week, will be as brilliant as any that
have ever been run over the Association
Course. The track is in the best possible
condition, and as Grinstead's trainer says,
s'as fast as a bullet" 1t was probably
never in better condition, not excepting the
time when Lancaster and Lee Paul ran
their celebrated race several years ago
The young stock now at the track IS I'M
usually good, the two year olds are prom
isihg faster time than has ever been made on
this course so noted for its fast time. Tom
Bowling will certainly run on Tuesday in
a mile and a half dash, and on Saturday In
a three mile dash. Bowling's competitor
in the last race ran mile yesterday, max
ing time that astonished his hackers and
will astonish everybody on Saturday. The
race grounds and stands for visitors are In
the best possible condition. In fact, every
thing bids fair to make this meeting a no
table one in the history of racing In this
country.
