presented to much better house last even
ing than on the evening previous, and natur-
ally the performance was more spirited. To-
night thu theater will be closed, to allow

WIDTH OF THE New TRAcK.-There ap-
pears to be an impression prevalent that the
new track ct Agricultural Park is narrower
at the first turn than the old Such is not
by any means the case, as the frat turn is
about twenty feet wider than it was and the
upper turn is wider still-in fact there is
much more room than there i5 any use for.
The inside, or running track, is three feet
wider oil around than before. 1t Is probable
that tire construction OF the shed for cattle
stalls close up TO the outer edge Of the main
track is what makes the first turn seem mar
rover, as there was only 3 light fence there
before. Il viii be found that there will be
sll the room on the turn required. The rains
have settled the track much as could be
desired and if it is well attended to it will
horsemen say, prove not only safe, but fast.
