The above outlines in brief, series of dis
appointments and losses most discOuraging to
the horsemen and associations interested,
the details of which have been given in the
GLOBE from day to day as they occurred.

Citations, the foundation has been laid for what
will in the near future undoubtedly become
one of the most popular and successful trot-
ting circuits in the country. The several as
s soclations by their liberal purses en-
ing have, to use vulgarism,
made themselves solid with the owners of fast
etock, SO that they can rely upon large entries
for future meetings.
