cess of their infant meeting, for hprospects are
so excellent that victory must perch upon their

month in existence, still in that brief time 1t has
managed to get into system and succeed in bring
ing together come of the most popular horses on
the turf. When the short lie of the club Is Ion-

organization and energy of the members to have

There are other noted horses on the road en-
route for the meeting, and among them repre-
sentatiyes from the stables Of Mr.. LOrillard and
A short and careful review Of this list will d..
monstrate that some Of the finest stock In the
country will participate in the and contest
for the purses. There is Kadi, credited with the
fastest mile record, and a full brother to Tom
Oehiltree; Hitehcoek's Galway six years old, al
he is beaten; Ex-Governor Bowie's Keene Ricil-
ards, eyed tye years, and ever keen TO snatch
mer 10 tackle and hard 70 escape from: John
Fletchers Hartland, of Australian pedigree
ana grit 10 the Dack Done; j. II. Owens
Friday, representative Of the Conductor blood
and game all the time, and Hugh GafIney's Bur
goo, five years old and reliable to the end of the
race. So might the string be continued, ard
many more animals Of choice pedigree and popu-
lar on the turf be mentioned, but want Of space
precludes carrying out the wish. In summing up,
1t is only necessary to say that for beginning,
no club ever Succeeded IA collecti0g together
only as many running horses, but those possess
ing such excellent and almost unapproachable
records.
The track is now in excellent condition, and is
inferior TO none in the country for the purposes
TO which it is applied. In fact, 1t s superior TO
many, for its immense breadth and lengthy
stretehes-there being only one turn of any i'm
portance-make It desirable for meetings of this
description. The accommodations are such that
any portion Of the course is in perfect view, and
the horses are not lost sight Of from the time they
enter the race until the contest closes.
thorough police arrangements have been made,
ana Ierfect order will be maintained on TIE
grounds. As the officers and members of the club
nave expressed the intention of taking their
wives and Lady friends TO the meeting that should
be regarded as sufficient guarantee as TO the r.
spectability Of the attendance at the park, and
an indueement for other ladies to lend teir pres
ence, and thus encourage the club to build up a
fashionable and harmless sport, which will con-
tribute as much TO the enjoyment Of the fair sex
as those Of the male persuasion.
