Horses now ON the Ground-Others to
Come.

For the races to begin at Butte on the Sd OF
September, the track could not possibly be in
better than its present condition, while sta.
bles, stands, restaurant accommodations, ETC.,
have been provided to answer every demand.
The following are some Of the improvements
TO be noted. The grand stand, under roof
Isl being extended in length thirty feet, men
arI being now engaged on the work. New stalls,
!, new restaurant and bar stands have been
built, and a substantial inside rail erected for
Z, the entire circuit Of the track. Besides this,
4 new well has been sunk, an improvement
assuring exemption from all inconvenience OF
last year, when the water supply was INSULT
Gent. In a word everything necessary for the
convenience of racing men or the comfort OF
the guests has been provided in good shape.
: Last year we had a very satisfactory meeting,
but 1t was nothing to what this seasons is to
d be, for not only are this falls races to be held
in a much pleasanter part of the year, but the
inn horses already on the ground represent an at
IIIg tendance nearly twice that of 1878. The fol
