THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
No Trottins Entries-Pr OF Success
fur Ruunlnn Meetion

The entries for the trotting races of the
National Fair Association have not come in as was
expected by the directors A large number Of
horsemen have written that they will enter their
seppers conditionally, but this informal method
docs not meet the approval Of the gentlemen hay-
ing the matter in charge and It's more than prob.
able that there will be no trotting rnces but that
n running meeting will be substituted. This is TO
be regretted, as there are many who take pleasure
In witnessing good trotting contests; and II is be-
lieved that the failure TO secure unconditional and
regular entries of trotting stock is due TO
either apathy or radically bad manage
ment It is hoped that arrangements
may be made to bring some Of the famous steppers
Of the turf here, and that the regular races, for
which prizes TO q large amount have been offered,
may be trotted. Our track is a good one, has been
highly complimented by those who are competent
to Judge, and upon IL excellent time has been
made, and there seems TO be no good reason why
there should be a lnck Of trotting entries The
entries for the running meeting have been quite
charge Of this matter for the fair di.
rectors, states that others have been sent
besides those already published in the Sunday
papers Many OF the horses named are well known
on the turf and the stables Of Loriard, Mcdaniel,
Reed, Alderman, Hart and others are well repre-
scntcd The entries, ms far as received. number
eighteen for the Washington stakes, sixteen for
the Yorktown centennial handicap, twelve for the
novelty handicap, and eleven for the Lafayette
stakes. The full list will be published In The RE-
PUBLICAN when the meeting takes place.

Blessings brighten as they take their

Swimming School will only be open for one week
more will awaken many regrets among the lady

mated by a plunge into its crystal depths. The
Messrs, Kelly and the ever. obligng Curtis have
secured host of friends among the members OF

mer, and have made most complete and perfect
success ofthier new enterprise. Under the fervent
heat that marked the earlier days of the present
