this county, the coming Fall, are being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. Mr.. c. c..
Knsey, the contractor, has completed the
fence around the Society's grounds, and the
work of grading the track will soon be COM
menced. An additional piece of land has
been purchased from Mr. John Stewart on
the north side of the first purchase, which
will enable the Directors to more advanta-
geously locate the track and buildings, and
save, besides, a large amount in the cost of
grading This additional purchase will en-
able the Society to dispense with at least four
acres of the land previously purchased from
Messrs. Archer & Howard, those gentlemen
