The 1882 trot; the mile dash and half.mile
heats. There will be from four to six en-.
tries in each race. Carrie Bell will be the |
favorite in the 1882, and Doubt and Re-

heats it is hard t. say which will be the
choice. though Sunday will probably lead.
Still, with Sunday, Blue Mountain Bell,
Lila Ferguson and Quebec in, it will be
anybody's race until Onished. Anyone
who can guess the winner can get rich in a
day.
We would advise ladies attending the
races to take seats in the grand stand in
preference to sitting in their carriages. BY
this means they will avoid the sun, wind
and dust and besides will have q splen-
dill view OF the whole course. It
is also much more convenient
for their male escorts, saving them the ne
cessity OF crossing the track SO often. Ad-
ded to this, it is convenient to the commo-
dious dining saloon where they can relieve
the waits between heats and races by prom
enading and indulging in Mrs. Neidenhof.
fer's delicious coffee and ice GREEN. BY all
means sit in the grand stand. Strict order
will be maintained and no improper per-
sons will be permitted to intrude.
