MEETING ON THE FOURTH OF SEPTEMBER
NEWPORT, r. l., August II, 1875.
In addition to the other attractions this season
movement is on foot to have Of good steepe-
chases Although the affair has not been in progress
more than twenty-four hours owners of cottages and
others have already subscribed 50 500 and probably
within few days much larger subscription list will
be in the hands of the gentlemen who are
to make the necessary arrangements for the
meeting. Mary of the fastest horses in the
country will doubtless participate in the events for the
purses will probably be the largest that have been
offered for steeplechasers, and better inducements
could be offered owners send their best animals.
1t is generally understood and this the gentle
men of Newport interested to concur, that the
meeting will be held in the rch grassy fields in tho
neghborhood of the Narragansett Gun Club Here the
soil and climate resemble very much the soil and eli
mate of England, where the best steepechasing is
done-over good green turf and is altogether delight
iul spot for successful sport of this kind.
A NEWPORT.
This may be considered as an attractive novelty in
Newport; for, with the exception of meeting here
few years ago. got up by dozen of gentlemen
nothing such scale proposed has taken
place here.
THE DATE OF THE MEETING.
With view of not interfering with the meeting at
Long Branch, which takes place the Goth nst
have been invited to have their arrangements made
that they attend at the opening, September A.
and, as is Saturday 1t will permit of good many
people coming from the city. This will give their
horses sufficient time to resat least those that
tered at the Seaside Capital"
"cRAcK" CANADIAN HORSES
1t is stated that some of the crack Canadian horses
will be here also to give them opportunity Of
competing with the best horses in this country. From
present appearances it will be brilliant affair, and will
in all probability result in the formation of a racing
sociaton with annual meeting of this kind.
