Coming TrOtting Meetings js The West.
The prospects for the trotting turf in
the West were never so bright as at the
present time. Unusual enterprise and
libe rality has been displayed by the man
age nent of the various tracks and asso-
Citations, resulting in putting up much
larger purses in the aggregate than ever
before. The Chicago association as the
hub, the acknowledged turf head center of
the West, and at the same time, though
acting Independently, as the initial
point of the grand central circuit, set
the key note in announcing purses eggre-
eating $4,000 for its summer trotting
meeting, and the Michigan, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa associa-
tions, catching the inspiration, have been
correspondingly liberal in getting up their
programmes for the early summer meet
ings, to come off in advance of the great
Chicago meeting. Thus we find that what
is called the Southern circuit,star ting in at
Maysyille, KY, May Is. and
including Cincinnati and other points
in Ohio, give an aggregate of $4,000,
The Michigan circuit $4,000, the Iowa cir
cult $4,000, and the Indiana and Illinois
circuit $4,000. These circuits are con-
fined to six states, and the aggregate
of purses offered for their early summer
meetings alone, including Chicago,
amounts to the handsome sum of S161 900.
In this amount the purses of several small
circuits in the six states named are not in
clnded, which added would swell the aggre-
gate to considerably over 100000, nor of
circuits formed or being formed in Wis
consin, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Minnesota. which states belong to the west
ern turf division of the country. When it
is considered that most of the associations
hold two meetings yearly, some idea may
be formed of the magnitude of the trotting
interest in the West.
The Chicago meeting will be held July
IA, Is, II, Is, 10, 20 and q, from where
the greater portion Of the star performers
will go on east through the grand central
circuit. For the benefit Of the readers of
this departments, all of whom feel more or
less interest in the Chicago meeting, we
append their programme in full. The
purses are divided into four moneys. En-
tries are TO close Tuesday, May 1.
