PREsUMPsCoT PARK.-As will be seen by
the advertisement elsewhere there will be a
race on this park Saturday. Two purses are
offere ], one of 800 for three minute horses
owned in this county, and the second purse
of $50 for running horses. 1t is thought there
will be large number of entries for both
races, and if the day is pleasant there will
doubtless be large crowd in attendance.
1t is proposed to hold two days meeting
upon this track the last of August or the first
of September, when there will be grand stall
lion race. There will be purse Of about $1,000
divided into four monies. 1t is also thought
advisable to have purse for stations under
five years of age, in order to bring out some of
the younger stock. Full particulars will be
given soon.

be known to be corrected A VISITOR
