All the Races FO8LpOn00 Unc DAy AC Fast Pacing Race To Day-The s1e,- 900 Race.
 The rain of yesterday caused postpone ment of the trotting in he thirteenth annual meeting of the grand circuit races at Hart ford, which will necessitate each days pro- gramme being postponed one day, which IS the present arrangement. On the card for to-day is the 2:19 class, the free -for-al pacers, the 2:30 class and the race against time, in which the fast running team Ever green and Major Banks will be driven by Madam Marantette to beat the double team record of 1:471.
 Brown Hall, Little Mac, Dan D. and Sallie c. have been drawn from the pacing race, leaving Westmont, Jewett, Gossip, 5r., and possibly Richball, to contest for the purse, which is enough to insure good race, which may always be anticipated when Jewett and Gossip, jr., meet in race. Last fall at Hartford these two horses made five heat fass firss two B Heats in s:171< and s:i4h and Gossip, .jf., taking the next two in 2:171S and 2:17, when Jewett surprised everybody but his owner by winning the heat and race in 2:154, defeating Gossip, jr., who had during last fall won seventeen races, in conse- quence of which he sold in the pools at five to one for the field.
 These two horses had another fierce con test at Island Park, Albany, last week when Jewett captured the first two heats in 2:141a and 2:14, after which Gossip won the race in very fast time. With pleasant weather the meeting will be the best meeting of the grand circuit as the purses are larger, especially the O,00O purse, which is not offered by other associa- tions. The meeting is sure to be fast one, as no purse is offered for class slower than the 2:33 class. The track previous to the rain was in the best possible condition and other details of the races have been carefully arranged by MT. Thompson o. King, the secretary of the association, who is an authority on turf mat ters The music stand has been moved nearer the grand stand and Colts band which has been engaged for the occasion have a fine programme prepared. MT. J. Gould, the cornetist of this city, is announc- ed to play during the races as an especial musical attraction.
 Pools will be sold during the races by Morse and Morris of Boston and Bright and Armstrong of Chicago. Arthur Benson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is engaged to start the horses in the races.
 On the programme for tomorrow the 2:23 class, 16 entries; the 2:27 class, 12 entries, and the $10,000 stake. race, entries, of which Olive K is the favorite. Following are the entries for the classes to be called to- day and tomorrow:
