The above is an abstract statement of
the events that are to transpire within easy
reach of the horses at present in this sec
ton of the country. All can find as much
business as they can conveniently attend
to. Especial attention is called to the Mil
waukee races, which, as above stated, &C.
eur one week after the meeting of the
northwestern Trotting Horse Breeders at
Chicago. Commodore Kittson is president
OF this association, and number of Mime
sofa horses will be entered in the speed
contests. 1t will therefore be very easy
and convenient for them to 90 to Mil
Waukee and take their chances in carving
away some of the money that is SO literally
hung up there.
