III. c. Cleveland, secretary of the Fri
City Trotting association, and Arthur Bur
rail-, treasurer of the same, are busily en-
ployed in answering inquiries concerning
the coming meeting, sending circulars and
attending to other matters that come up
for consideration.
The indications point to very success
ful meeting, and it is highly probable that
every purse will attract good field Of
horses, and an exciting race assured.
The entries for the trottfng races will
close on the 18th of the present month,
and the list will then be made public.
Great difficulty has been experienced in
securing chariot riders, and that feature of
the meeting viii probably be given up.
The committee on building and grounds
will visit the premises during the present
week, and make such needed repairs as
may be found necessary.
1t is expected that arrangements viii DC
perfected with the railroad companies to
run special trains to and from the grounds
