The August meeting Of the Prospect Park Asso-
citation was held on their grounds last week. The
threatening weather and the Soldiers Reunion
again prevented as large an attendance as the
merits Of the trotting warranted. There was an
unusual number Of entries OF really fine horses,
and the trotting was well contested in nearly
every race. The trottng was not commenced
until Wednesday. the rains OF Monday and Tues
day rendering the track too heavy. 1t was com
menced on Wednesday and continued on Friday
and Saturday. We append the score
